In a statement issued at the Republican rally in Red Men's Hall.
Washington street, last night, Mayor Carl A. Harstrom stated that the ,
bill providing for the city contributing to the Norwalk Hospital was I
not the bill which the mayor and city council supposed was to have
been passed and insinuated that somebody had put something over on
i the mayor and council and the people. He stated that the bill as passed
was not the bill which was suggesed at the city council meeting. People
who have looked into the bill stated last night that as it stands it pm
vides for a means for the absolute maintenance of the hospital by the
city and not the contribution of a. few thousand dollars and that the
board, of. estimate must make this appropriation if so directed by the
council, whether the board likes it or not.
