, (Continued train First Page.)
The great interest in the proposed
legislation concerning the pension was
shown by the presence of a number 01
.he heaviest tax payers and some of
the most inliucntial citizens of Nor—
: walk. Before the council voted upon
the resolution calling for the pension
before the people
regardingwlthe question among those
present.
Judge Joseph R. Taylor. Chief of Po
lice William ,R. Pennington, and De-
tective Sergeant Thoma‘s Leatherlauu
spoke in favor of the proposition. They
contended that the taxes would abso‘
lutely not. be made higher should the
fund be established. The l per cent.
of salaries of the officers and men and
the 5 per ccntLof Norwalk's 05 per
tent of the liquor tax in this city,
which according to statutes, are con-
tributed to funds of this nature, they
pointed out would make the fund sell
sustaining, without the tax-payers con
tributiiig a penny. 'l‘licy declared Non
walk was one of five cities of the
, eighteen in Connecticut which had no
1 .
‘ .sur: 11 funds.
(‘hristian Swartz. William lit-Malina,
John Cavanagh, John 1“. McMahon. and
Jul”) '1‘. Hayes either spoke against
having the fund at all or were in fay»
Club of the'
or of having it put before the people.
without the council settling the blotter
1, definitely.
These speakers emphatically stated
taxes would be raised should the fund
be granted. The compensation act
passed some time ago. by the legisla-
ture, they asserted, superceded the
police pension act, and should a police
man be injured or suffer death during.)
the discharge of his duties, this act
would care for him, thus making the
establishment of the fund unnecessary.
This year, it was pointed out. Norwalk
will have to pay a state tax of $251,000.
Should the police get 5 per cent. of
Norwalk‘s 150 per cent of the liquor li-
cense, they declared it would mean the
tax-payers would have to "dig down"
and out of their own pockets make
good the. per cent. Let the liquor lt-
ccnse tux.
. 'lhe following resolution was pre-
sented by Councilman Henry J“ lilp-
son and seconded“ by Councilman
George George H.LLSteVE1is: L
fund for ivbfoli no appropriation has
2 been made and deducting same liom
liquor licenses, would have to be made
by increased taxation. that the ques-
tion of a pension fund be left to a
vote of the people at the next election
Councilman Wolfe presented‘a reso-
lution, privately, to City Clerk Joseph
J. Linxweiler. This was in favor or
the establishment of the fund, but as it
had not been presented in the correct
2 manner, Acting-Mayor Mather refused
to recognize it.
