the widening as they were in favor of
it. when it m first broached.

The council met last eveniugrto con-

The first break came when a peti-
tion signed by Michael Ratchford and
fifteen others was presented which
read as follows:—

“\\‘e the undersigned taxpayers of
Nor-walk who are attracted by the pro-
posed widening of “'3.“ street. most
strenuously oppose said widening at
this time as at present outlined. We
do not consider. that the taxpayers can
stand the added burden at this time.
and the work as planned would stop

BASES IN HHRWALH

Norwalk will not. have, as many
criminal cases this term of the United
States Diarict court as it did last year
when some hundred and fifty law vio—
lators and others were brought before
Judge Edwin S. 'fimmas.

The lack of accommodation for the
grand jury and also for the various
prisoner-s is one of the reasons why
most of the criminal cases will be held
in New Haven and Hartford'. it was
said to a Sentinel reporter by”..-\s.<ist-
ant United States District Attorney
George Cohen this morning.

There are approximately 1mm cases
which will be heard by Judge Thomas
in New Haven tomorrow morning.
The April term opened in Norwalk
this morning. there being a number of
cases to be assigned for trial. and one
criminal case. >

The latter case was that of John
Otilszky ol' “'aterbury who was ar-
rested in February for the powession

been in jail since that time. He was
