SOUTH NORWALK,
PEOPLE’S CHORUS
cal Evening at Regent—
Hlxhly Applauded.
The regular meeting of the hdies‘
last night with an eager and appre-
ciative throng to hear the musical
program given by the People's Chorus
of Norwalk under the leadership of
Mrs. Lucy M. Morrison. The’ People‘s
Chorus again distinguished itself and
gave to Norwaik music lovers an eve-
ning of splendid music—evenings that
are far too rare for the many Nor-
walkers Who enjoy music.
And while Miss Suzanne Keener.
Richard Crooks and Ralph Toland
were delightful and their singing was
appreciated by the large audience.
the work of the chorus itself mani-
festly made a deep impression on
everyone. The weeks of work in
coaching the men who rendered
Edwar Grieg's "Olav Trygvason."
and t e, entire chorus of men and
women in "The Sun-worshippers." re-
sulted in bringing forth from the au-
dience merited applause.
The program began with Mr. Toland
singing "In Quests Tombs." (Beetho-
ven). Mr. Tolnnd was in his usual
good voice and touched his hearers
from the start. Following this he
sang:
The Silversmith. .Spanlsh Traditional
Arranged by Kurt Schindler
Uncle Rome. . . ....... Sydney Homer
The Double ......... . Schubert
Danny Deever. . . . . ‘. . . .‘ Damrosch
He was generous with encores. too.
Mr. Crooks. with hiswonderful voice
and magnetic perlmallty. followed
with "Sound an Alarm" from “Judas
Maccabeus." (Handel) and returned
smilingly to the stage to sing "For
Love of You" by his accompanist.
Harry Gilbert.
Then out danced Susanne Keener. in
pink. a merry twinkle in her eyes.
The audience fell in love with her be-
fore she uttered a note and told her
so with loud applause.
Miss Keener's first offering was the
aria "Regnava. Nel Silensin" from
“Lucia dl Lamme’rmoor." Then she
sang a litlte song called "Bobollnk
and Chicadee," which she said had
been written especially for her and
indeed it should have been. It was
charming. This girl has a really won-
derful voice and she seems to like the
songs with a humorous touch nd hot
audience; felt the same wig 0 did. .

Bids had‘ been asked for several
times along lines laid' down' by the

their way clear to build the houses
within the figure stipulated and as a
result no bids had been received by
the. committee until last Saturday.
Councilman Ingram who is chair-

the meeting that plans would be
drawn up as soon as possible for the
wood bath houses and bids asked
for and construction rushed along as

on the bridge and that he did not
see any harm in allowing automobiles
to park there for 40 minutes. He
stated further that the Rogers a:
Stevens company had lost between
315.000 and 820.000 by the widening
of the Wall street bridge and that he
thought that they were entitled to
407mmute parking in front of the
. store and that the merchants of the
city should be provided with plenty
of parking space as they were losing
business every day on account of the
ordinance.
Councilman Mills then made a mo-
tion that the entire parking ordi-
nance be repealed. In making the
motion Mr. Mills stated that as m-
oralmerchanta had stated that the or-
diasnco was driving people f om tbs _
city and that they were lodng then-
sands. of dollars by having it en-
forced‘ he'thought it was time to re-

John F. Mellow. who was chair-
man of the Board f Freeholders on
the widening-of Wall street. then was
granted'permlssiqn to speak. Mr.-
McMahon said he had read a letter
or an liter-view in one of the local
papers from his. Stevens in which Mr.
Stevens dec that at the time that
: planswere ng made for .the wide
ening of the street that Rogers &
Stevens were informed that. autos '
would be allowed to park in front of
their store. Mr. McMahon said that
he did not tell Mr. Stevens anything
like that and that no one else had the
right to make any such promise.
The City's Five Fleet
Mr. McMahon further stated that
'in the construction 'of the building
that the Rogers 8: Stevens company
had tnké'n five feet from the city in
the building of the cellar and that
they had no right to do this. He sug-
gested to the council that the firm of
Rogers a Stevens be charged'a rent-
al for this five feet in order that it
would not get out of the city's hands.
as he thought that possession of pro-
perty for a long period of years gave
them owners rights.
He stated that the five feet had
really been awarded to his firm. Re
also reiterated that Rogers and
Stevens had been promised parking in
front of their store.
Mr.'8tevens then asked Mayor Bar-
ton if he did not remember. at the
