achievements you had set."

“You worked and fought tobuiid

closing. "and for this we'hOnor you.

. The next speafier was Commander]
in Chief of the G. A. R. Lewis Ste.-
phen Pilcher. of Brooklyn. N. Y..
who said that Norwalk wnsen' fete
to pay honor to the Boys of ’61. He
felt proud to be their commander.
and he felt proud to think'that they
were being honored so highly. He
spoke on various topics of interest to
the members and asked them not to
feel that in receiving pension checks
that they were receiving charity. He
said that each pension check receiv-
ed was another leaf in the laurel
wreath which crowned the brows of
every defender of the l'nion. and that
it was a symbol of the helping hand -
held out by the Government in‘ pay-
ment of the tribute which she owed
her brave sons for the preservation
of her integrity. her pl'iltt‘. and her
union.

In his closing remarks. Mr. Pllch-
er said that from the windown of his
home in Brooklyn he could view the
sky line of Manhattan and here he.
saw three lights. which symbolized to
him the motto of the G. A. 1%.. "Fra-
ternity. Charity and Loyalty." These.
three lights were those on the Statue.

The Norwalk decision is 'a‘. lengthy
one. and traces much of "be legal
procedure between the two depart-
ments of the City Goyernment. when
Mayor ‘Je‘remi'ah Donovan ‘wa's in
power in Norwalk. especially‘ the
change in the Board of Education
from 1913 and 1921 when the full
control of the Nor-walk school appro-
priati'ons was placed in the hands
of‘ the Board 'of “Education. '_ Re-
lating to this particular phase of the
argument, Judge Wolfe says in his
decision:

“Under the charter of 1913. the
Board of ”Education is required in
commonwvith all the other depart-
ments of the city. to submit tr the
Treasurer in October of each year.
a detailed estimate of >th‘e‘probable
expenses for the support ,of the
schools for the current fiscal year.
Such estimate is subject to the same
modification and determination 'by

tion as in the matter of the budget
of other departments of the ”City
