As the government of the new City
of Norwalk progresses. at certain
times the charier was found to be
cumberson. and oftentimes sections
were found to be inconsihtent. This,
of course. is to be expected. Corpora-
tion Counsel William I“. Tammany has
carefully noted these difficulties, and
has received many suggestions from
different sources concerning
phraseology of the charter.
Counsel Tammany recently re-draft-
ed a number of‘the conflicting sec-
tions. These corrections to the char-
ter he has incorporated into an Act
amending the city charter.
This morning City Clerk Joseph J..
ILinxwellVer sent copies of the changes;
to Representative. Creamer 0. Here
. man 1in Charles F. Trlstram and Sen .
ator Hubert E.1Biahop.-. The not will
be introduced into the legislature.
