-Ztlr. Linxwoilcr then introduced as

Dr. Moore, candidate for council in
the second district made his maiden
speech last night and due credit must
bu given him for the able manner in
uhich he delivered it. He build in part
that b) wasn't present with anything

and that he wasn't mad nor on the

Couldn't Hire a Hall.
Ho said, howover. that he was pres»
cut as one of the soap box orators,
and that he was proud to be a sum
box orator. The reason that the dent
ccrats couldn‘t hire a hall to deliver
their tulks- was because the taxes
were so high that the owners of the
halls had to charge very high rents
in order to make any money out of
them. and the democratic party
couldn't afford to pay the prices that
were wanted for the halls.
,I_“that the ordinary ipeople. not, thci
are affected because
where taxes go up so do the rents."
' How About Meadow Street.
He further'asked where the sun

“They told us. two years ago that

was mad; when he was a candidate

a taxpayer. He wondered what he
got for his money. and declared that
if the tax rate was not reduced by
the then candidate for mayor. he
would work earnestly to defeat him
and turn him out of office.
“But he is ill and cannot speak in
this runwaign, but, those were his
words and sentiment. ‘
Hars‘lmm I-USGS Dignity.
“Our present. mayor, by implicaton.

run and scholar. has lost his road

seen before.
"Who recommended this olllciul.
that he came so well vouched for,
that the mayor chosen to conduct the
pit Ilc business could impact him
wit out having seen him before. the

"Ilia next performance was to on

poimment and in 11's talk of Monday
night he said in defense of the «:in
attorney. that he had won We sum:
for the city. One was the Scofleld
suit, and the other the case of the
Norwalk Investment Co.
Shamelul Acts.
“The mayor with his troublesome
memory. failed to state the facts in
the case. ltxwa‘s true that the city
won the cases, but. the mayor failed
to so)". that the city’s counsel bad
brains associated with him.
"I relic-rate the charges in previous

most humiliating. shameful a the

Superior Court judge did not bellcvt-

"llut all this is little or nothing
when talented people. get control. and
tell its that they will safeguard out

“One day lust week the mayor in
his report to the city council stated
what the tax rate was in February
1917. but he failed to state that thi-
tnx mic is goinggto be in January
next. lie remains silent on that point.
Whether he has reduced the 40 pet
ccnt.. which Congressman Hill stated
was too high, he failed to say.
“Unfortunately for the mayor or his
memory, again last night he mention-
ed the tax rate. He stated on the.
East Side that up to the new year.
the taxes in the Fifth District. have
been reduced. He said ‘For every
year. since 1913, tip to the new tax.
the taxes In the Fifth District have
been reduced. What. with war taxes
and increased costs and everything
else going up in price, is is any won
dcr that the tax to the Fifth Dis-
trict, has increased. but, gentlemen
remember that whereas the tax in
1913 was 15 mills. it is but 16 mills
under the new tax. Is that extra
vagance?’ -
"I have quoted the mayor as re-
ported in the Hour of September 25.
Again Mayor Erro.
“Again the great man. of intellect
is in error. You who pay taxes look
at your .tax bills and you will find
that each your shows an increase. In
1914. the tax for the Fifth District was
12 3—4 mills.
In 1915. the rate Was 13 1-3 mus.
In 1916, the rate was 13 4-10 mills.
In 1917. the rate was 16 mills. Pay-
able lu January, 1918.
“At no time‘ has the tax rate reach-
ed 15 mills until now, although the
mayor tells us that the taxes have
been caduced. ,Where does the mayor
get the 15 mill to; for 1913. that is

“When Mr. Hal-strain got in office
he promised to reduce the tax rate.
He not only failed in that. but he
failed to make a report Showing the
difference in, cost of running the city.
He failed to disclose that instead of
keeping down the rate of taxes, he
had increased them.
Fall: Down on Car Affair.
“He failed to tell why he did not
interest himself in keeping up the
street car service to the. South End.
“The people of this section who
have been in the habit of having a
20-minute schedule as far as Ilicadow
street. It has been abandoned for a
40-minute schedule, a yet it serves
one-third of the population of the Sec-
ond street. Why didn‘t our genial
mayor get busy in behalf of these poo
oIc who are entitled to this service?
Twenty minutes is long enough to
wait for car service, and who is there
to raise a voice in protest against
waiting 40 minutes on the curb. if our
mayor will not interest himself?
"Trolley matters have been discuss
cd in Norwalk for fifteen years. Has
Mr. Hat-strum ever raised his voice
for better service? Did you over pick
up a newspaper and read a communi-
cation whcro‘theieurned gentleman
had ever wielded his tenchant pen in
behalf of those who are obliged to
depend upon the street car service.
He waited until the eve of an elec

Did you ever hear of him advocating

Extravagane Manager.
"A vote for Iiarstrom Is a vote to
continue his extravagant manage
ment.
"There have appeared several quea-
tlons in the newspapers. But I cm
not going to permit him to answer
one question by asking another. How
about the report of his stewardship?
Why‘don't he'tell the people what he
has done? Then why doesn't he send

Burnell vs. Haratrom.
“The inayor has said that the Bur-
ueli administration was expensive
and extravagant. If that. was so the
present administration is more extra-
vagant End the people would gladly
change the latter for the former.
"One more matter, and it is a very
important one. We have a Mile elec-
tric plant at the West End of the
City. I was present at Its birth, and
I did what I could to promote it in
its infancy. I tried to support it. I
took pride in its establishment. The
young man who was with it and who
has albored incessantly for its suc-
cess has given the best part of his
life for its success. He is a poor man
today. sacrificing many opportunities
for the love of this plant. His duty
to tho community has been para-
mount in his heart and mind and yet
our mayor and his corporation coun-
scl forced him and his little plant to
engage an attorney to appear" before
the Public Utilities Commission In
the matter of ornamental lighting.
In consequence of these proceed
logs the Second District had to ex-
pend 'an additional amount of $16,000.
This amount could have been expend-
ed formanyother good purposes. Just
think what you could have done with
$16,000 for the betterment of the
streets of the‘East Side.
Lockwood’o Fight on the Second

“The irony of this action Is that a
municipal owned plant for the serv-
ices of the people of the Second Dis-
trict was brought into litigation by
the corporation counsel who is partly

era of the plant, with the result that
