Counsel Quinlan.
The resolution when prosentcd. was
put before the members. by.t-ounc1!.-
man Edgar G. Murphy, and it called
for the preparing of an estimate by
the City Treasurer of the. amount
needed to meet. the increase. which
Would be inlhe neighborhood of 5L-
o'fl. and it also instructed Mayor Don-
ovan to call~a special meeting of the
board of estimate and taxation xvimm
tlmncxt ten days. ‘
All tho members of the counml.
George D. Russell, Edgar G. Murphy,
George \V. Stevens, Albert T. iuld<
ridge, \K'illiam J. Moore, Robert M.
\Volfe, Charles L. Yolk, and Frank L.
Clarke, were present when the meet-
ing was called to order and the usual
amount. of routine business was dis-
posed of. including the calling of the
roll, the reading or the minutes of the
last regular and special meetrngs of
the council, and the reading of the to
ports of City Auditor \Vilt‘red Bods-ell.
City Treasurer Herbert MailleWson,
and Clerk of the Court Louis S. Beers.
A number of bills were presented and
it was ordered by the council that all
which had been certified. be paid.
A petition was presented from Nel-
son Dickerman asking that his tax bill
be rebated as he was no longer the
owner of the store which was taxed. It
was referred to Councilman Eldridge.
Thomas XV. \‘Vebb of 128 Main
street. petitioned the council to grant
him permission to install a new gas
tank and pump in front of his place
of business. and his request was turn-
ed over to the committee on streets.
John F. lichmhon appeared before
the council for the Washington Street
Bridge Construction Committee and
reported that the committee was anx-
ious to resign, but because of the cer-
tain litigation which has arisen. the
suit of Captain Charles E. Conklin vs.
The City of .Vorwalk. decision in
which case is pending. and the suit
brought by George S. overton of no
wayton ‘for damages inflicted on his
car when the bridge. was opened as he
was driving across it, the committee
would be compelled to remain in ex-
istence for some time. The matter of
the Norwalk Investment Company con-
cerning the. land to be used for the
park to which extensive publicity has
already been given, was. also dis-
cussed. The committee asked that the
legislature fix the boundaries of the
park and also straighten out the
trouble relative to the” eastern boun-
dary. which is the Gregory channel.
The Colonial Foundry Company does
not. wish to part with their land and it
was requested that this be allowed to
remain where it is. In the original act
of the lezislalure this was included in
the property to be used as a park.
1‘ouncilman Moore moved that the
committee be empowered to appoint
its own committee to present a bill to
the legislature to change the boundary
and this was carried.
An invitation wa‘.s read whereby the
council was cordially invited to attend
a lecture to be given at the high
school this evening. and upon tin:- mo-
tion of Mr. Murphy the invitation was
accepted.
Councilman Eldridge read a committ-
nit-alien sent. to him by Goldstein
Brothers of East Norwalk. asking that
a fil‘t' hydrant be installed near their
factory to insure adequate fire pro-tec-
tion.’ Mr. Murphy took the floor and
stated that it had been the custom of
the water commissioners of the first
district. to install these hydrants and
to receive an installation fee anda
yearly rental from the city. This prac-
tise had been stopped when life city :
refused to pay the yearly rental or the
installation fee and consequently the
first district. water commisioners re-
fused to install the new hydrant in
East Norwalk.
Mr. Eldridge presented a motion
that the city pay for the hydrant at
the cost provided by the city ordinan-
ces. This was passed.
F. H. Merrill and George F. Roger-I
dus. the committee appointed to inves»
tigate the fire conditions at Wilson's
‘Point, reported that they had made
several visits to the polnt.lbut as yet
had only to report‘progréss.
Councilman Stevens. in reporting on
the tax bills of: the Norwalk Manufacu
luring Company, presented a resolu-
tion whereby $159353 would be accept-
ed as the taxes or the company. The
resolution was passed:
The matter of the billscontracted
by the Norwalk Isolation Hospital dur-
ing the recent .. influenza epidemic
'was brought up‘by Councilman Wolfe
and resulted in considerable discus
sion. Dr. Wolfe stated that -117
patients had been pared for during 694
hospital days at a total cost of $2,-
159.06 -or at an averagemost of $3.11
for each patient'per day. ’A large
number of the patients were ‘frmn

many/of them were property owners
one-half of the total cost and therefore ~
for. W'olfe reported. the committee
treels and recommends that the city
pay only for their share.
a This was discussed both pro and con
it‘or several minutes until Dr. Moore
: made the resolution and had it carried
that the matter be laid on the table
until the next meeting.
Corporation Counsel Quinlan report
ed that he had attended the meeting
of the representatives of the New
York New Haven and Hartford Railr
road at the first district. station this
morning in regards to the changing of
the hours of the gatemen stallOilt‘il at
tho New Canaan avenue crossing and
Water streets crossings. The plan of
the railroad was to lengthen the
hours of the men and decrease their
number of employes. By the new sI'S‘
(em the grade crossings would be left
unguarded when a train passed
through here- at about 8 o’clock every
evening and for this reason Mr. Quin-
lan refused to consent if) the change.
He also gave. as requested by the
council at the last session. his legal
opinion on the validity of the ordnance
providing an increase in “salary for
the members of the police department.
In part he reported to the council as
follows:
Viewing the situation as it now ex-
ists, I find that an ordinance was duly '
passed by a majority Vote ofihe Coun-
cil. vetoed by the mayor and regularly
passed over his veto'by the required
number of members of the'cotmcil. It
was duly published as providedby the
' charter and stands as an ordinance of

of the city clerk does not appear to
have been signed by the city clerk.

A lengthy and heated discussion fol.
lowed the reading of Mr. Quinlan’s
legal opinion and finally devolved into
a personal war between Dr. Moore and
IMr. Quinlan with a few intervening
' shots by Attorney Leo Davis who “‘35
on hand as counsel for the police de-
partment. Dr. Moore wanted to know
i if Mr. Quinlan advised the payment of
the increased police salaries as the on
dinance now stands. If the appropria~
tion is sufficient to pay for it, the Cor-
poration CounSel thought iteadvisable.
but if there was not enough of the ap-
. propriation left he was decidedly
against it. . /
Attorney Davis took the floor and in
a very forceful and emphatic Speech
he attacked Mr. Quinlan andcharged
him with presenting an unintelligent
report which the councilmen would be
unable to understand and were there
by in the dark on the advisability of
voting yes or no; Mr. Davis stated
that it the trouble was settled peace-
fully and the police given their in}
crease the matter would be dropped.
otherwise the diflerences

end it would cost the city much more
money, than if the matter were adiust-
