The Kiwanis club is enthusiastic
over the manner in which the widen-
ing or Washington street proposition
is being received Jay the public. At
an enthusiastic meeting held yesterday
at the Royal James hotel, the club
unanimously accepted a report of a,
committee on this proUect. of which
Charles Mints is chairman. The re-
port calls for the presentation of a
petition signed by all of the Wash-
ington street property owners to the
Common Council at its next meeting
in March for action. The petition
states that the signers will present to
the city three feet of land without re-
compense for widening purposes.
Mayor Calvin L. Barton who was pre-
sent at the luncheon expressed himself

,‘g‘l . ers Agree to Give Land
articles to present to the city without
cost three test or land so that the
street might be widened. Mr. Lamaon
moved that the report be accepted and
that the petition be présente‘l t0 the
Common Council. This motion was
carried. A little later, it was moved
that President Wheeler” appomt a.
committee or ten to represent the club
on this subject at the 'next Common
Council meeting. This was one car-
ried. '
Mr. Mints said that he m mun-ed
several members of the club to talk on
the subject. The first speaker W88
Christian Swartz, cigar manufacturer
whose plant is on Washington Street.
Mr. Swartz told the Kiwanis that 3s
years ago this same
been discussed. It was generally fav-
ored. but when the Common Council
found that it would cost $2, 700 to cut
on: the front 01! the Raymond build-
ing. the matter was dropped. Mir
Swartz said that $2.700 was consid-
ered a lot or money in thOSB days.
Samuel Roodner declared ‘trlat he
thought that the Washington Street
widening project should be accom-
plished because the assessed value of
property on that street ran close to
one! million dollars or one twelfth of
the total value of property in the
Second District: Albert 1). Morgan.
hardware dealer. spoke along the
same lines. ,
Judge Joseph R. Taylor, a guest of
the club at'the luncheon, emphasized
the dangerous condition of Washing-
ton Street at the present time. when
it came to women and children cross-
ing the street. He said that New
York city when the maximum busi-
ness was reached on a street and
could not be increased without widen-
ing the street, theh city immediately
would make that street wider. He
said that Norwalk should do the same
thing.
Joseph Davis. clothier. favored the
project. Mr. Davis' store is located on
\Vashington Street. He said that the
widening would certainly improve
‘business and decrease the value of
\Vashington Street property. Samuel
Qreenateln said practically the same
thing.
Mayor Calvin L. Barton told the Kl-
wants club that' he ‘had 'wfltten the
New Haven road stating that tin
Washington Street widening project
was being taken up by the Kiwanis
club and asking it the railroad com-
pany would change the abutments on
the Washington Street railroad bridge.
Mayor Barton , explained that the
north abutment: would have to be ex-
tended it the proposition were to be
put throughwf‘ He asaid that he had
not received newer to his letter
as yet. 1’0“ declared that,
the Kiwanis club would be supported
in the movement. He also sprite oi
the condition at Main Street saying
that Samuel Router had spoken of
presenting to the city without com-
pensation three or four feet of land on
the east side of the street for widen-
lm: purposes.
l'lrevioue to (he discussion on the
\Vasiiinglon Sircct project. Attorney
Edward J. Quinlan gave a most inter-
esting talk on “George \Vashington."
Although the talk waws of but five
minutes in duration, Mr. Quinlan
pointed out some very pertinent facts
in the life of the "Father of Our
Country." He dwelt particularly on
the foresight of the great president
especially in the matter of foreign re-
lationships. He also pointed out that
\Vashingion had seen the ‘danger of
slate and industrial alliances describ-
ing the farm Doe and other congres-
sional blocs as; examplees.

calling for an expenditure ot $2,500
