The Third District commissioners

in which is voiced a request” that the
mayor call a special' meeting of the
Board of Estimate and Taxation with-
in the near future that the board may
be asked to lay a special tax, of two
mills, for the‘Third District. ‘
The extra tax will mean that East
Norwalk will pay 24 mills this yefir
instead of 22,.providing the board of

the commissioner's request. The mon-
ey thus to be raised is to? cover a
