The stores in South Norwalk, those
which banded together with a coma
anon purpose in view, that of closing
on Monday nights at 0:30 o'clock to
give their clerks the benefit of this
extra time from work, will reopen on
Monday nights, beginning next" week.
.The plan was a success.
The reason for resuming the regu-
lar hours Is the fact that the starting

the past two months arranging stock
and getting ready for theibig display
of new goods.

fleet quite favorable toward closing half

lisw city Tax and wafer Bills
Due at the em Time

Much dissatisfaction is being ex-
pressed by property owners of the
First District over the prospects which
will make it necessary for them tofpny
a considerable amount of money for
taxes coming due on the first of April.
The increased tax rate makes it a
hardship in‘itself. But: added to that
is the water tax which comes due on
May first. This veer the amount to
be paid is just double that of former
years as a result of the new rule
which the district commissioners unit.
into effebt, making the water rated.
unless by meter, payable in advance.
The past six months' water bill un-
der the present. system is due May
first and the new method of paying
in advance begins bu the same date
so there has to be paid a year's nor
too rate on. that date.
Rumors were about this morning to,
the effect that a petition is being cir-
culated ‘calling for a district meeting.
The reason of the petition, it is re-
ported, is to protest against the pol-
icy of the avatar commissioners in
charging the property owner $35 ”for
the work of laying lead pipe from a
t.
street maln 'to the curbing. 'llho citi-
zens who are protesting are doing so
because. they think that $35 is an ex-
cessive amount and also in view of
the fact that they have to pay the
cost of laying tihe pipe from the curb-
ling to the house. .
'I‘hat [price of 813548 changed for any
length of pipe under 30 feet. The
matter of paying the water bill may
also come up if the ipotitioners are
successful and. have a district meet-
ing. No doubt sonic Modest will .be
suggested today that the commission-
ere could suspend the rule and not
let.
