-.
it was on the fire department bud-
get that the main force of the shears
was felt. $13,374.50 was handed to
the fire department squarely in the
neck. included in this general reduc-
tion was the extra $100 asked for by
the chief, and the raise in wages de-
manded by the men.
Quite a discussion as to the raise in
the chief‘s salary erase during the
consideriation of this budget, William
11. McMahon stating that although be
greatly appreciated the work done by
the chief and the firemen, he was op-
posed, for various reasons, to grant
any demand in wages this year. Mr.
McMahon expressed himself as being
of the opinion that the only time an
increase in wages was necessary, was
when there was only one man for a
job, not when there was more than
one.
Michael J. Riordan also expressed
himself clearly on the subject. stating
that it was impossible for the board
to reduce‘taxes, which is a necessary
tit-tail of the work of these meetings,
and to increase wages at the same
time. Both parties cannot be pleased,’
at the same time, and it is possible for
the men and the chief to get along for
another year on the same salaries as
they now receive.
in regard to the increase demanded
by the men, Mr. McMahon stated that
he was opposed to any such action be-
ing taken by the board at the present
time. The members of the board
seemed to think the same In wgard to
this matter, and the budget sustained
a reduction of $1,825 from the item
calling for 811,830, reducing this to
tal to 810,005.
Another substantial cut was made
when the motion, by Mr. Riordan, to
cut the miscellaneous account, calling
for $1,200 from the budget, was voted.
Two extra men, one for Nor-walk and
one from East Norwalk, Were also
struck off the list when the appropria-
tion for this extra expense, calling for
82,002, was voted out.
8520 asked for uniforms and caps,
was cut to 8400; repairs on buildings
were sliced from $1,200 to $1,000; 8100
was cut from the fire alarm repairs;
$250 was sliced from the East Nor-
walk motor appropriation, and rubber
clothes were dockedtlso, bringing the
total of this item to 8400 from $10.
The proposition of the new auto
hook and ladder truck did not occupy
much time, as no serious thought was
given the matter, aside from cutting
the 86,500 cold. Consequently, the
Second district will be without its new
truck for another year.
in summing up the fire department
budget it will be seen that out of 842,-
583.00 asked, but $29,208.50 was grant-
ed, making a total cut of $13,374.60.
Following this cutting, came. the ad-
ministrative department budget. 0w-
ing to the numerous undecided items
on this budget ,it was not possible for
any great amount of work to be done
by the board onthis matter during last
evening. The salaries called for In the
budget were all fixed, but numerous
items came under heads which would
have to be explained to the board.
The question of voting machines
was talked over, Mr. Riordan at the
outset, moving that the sum of $4,800
be voted oi! the budget. William Mc-
Mahon objected to this motion, after
it had been seconded by Captain Dell,
stating that there was no reason why
a good thing, such as the voting ma-
chines, should be killed Just to save
$1,800.
Mr. McMahon stated that he had
talked with a good many residents of
the city, and that they seemed to be
unanimous in their desire ,to have the
new machines installed in iNorwalk.
Mr. McMahon was also of the opinion
tinned the buying of the machines,
that it would not be a good thing for
the Board of Estimate to _dump the
‘ proposition at this stage of the game.
Mr. Riordan arose to the occasion.

the motion that he did, to keep the
taxes for this year as low as possible.
He also stated that hefyvas of the opin-
.ion that the my could get along for
another year without the machines be-
ing installed. Not enoughvmembers of
the boardwere present to oast'a'do

WHEN I GET RICH.
When I get rich oh! many things
I'll do;
For all poor folks whose lives
are full of care,
Their days, now dread, I'll make
so sweet and fair,
When I get rich!
\thn I get rich the friends Ilove
so dear
Shall know no more these weary,
toilsomc hours:
I'll light their skies with sun-
shine. and the showers
\\'ill scatter on their pathway
fairest flowers. .
When 1 get rich!
“but you get rich! Those
friends you loved so well
May not be here, but far beyond
the skies,
And never know the hidden love
that lies
Within your heart l—ah! foolish,
vain surmise——
When you get rich!
Wait not till rich, but haste to
do it now! ,
Yes, scatter sunshine-dry
falling tear—-
That may be near you—oh, ne'er
mind the year,
When you get rich!
