Washington Street
Property Owners Have
New Widening Plan
It Is Based Principally on a General Tax with the
Owners Paying Expenses of improvements
from New Curb to Building Line—Pro-
pose Cutting 31/2 Feet from South
Sidewalk and 5 Feet from North
Washington street property owners have s new plan to offer to
the City Council for the widening of Washington street. The prop-
erty owners met Wednesday at the City Hall to review the entire
matter and decide on a plan which they hoped would save the matter
The status of the widening at the
present. time is what might be termed
"up in the air." The howl that went
up when the Board of Freeholders an-
nounced its list of benefits has placed
the matter where few at city hall want
to touch it again.
The property owners feel. as does
every one, that Washington street
should be widened and they hope their
new plan will be acceptable to the city
council and to the people of the city of
Norwalk at large.
The \Vashington street property
owners voted at the meeting \Vednes-
day night that in widening the street
three and one-half feet be taken from
the south sidewalk and five feet from.
the north sidewalk. making the street
eight and one-half feet wide. instead
of ten feet.
They agreed that the expense of this
widening should be borne as follows:
The Washington street property
owner to pay for all changes from the
newly made curb to the building lines
and that the cutting away of the eight
and a half feet and all the work at-
tached to this cutting be paid by a
general tax.
The general tax therefore would
consist of the money necessary to cut-
ting away the curb. part of the prestn
sidewalk. removal and replacing of the
lighting poles." fire hydrants. etc.
“'hether this would lower the cos!
of the widening or just what the gen-
era Itax would be under arrangements
was not made known. It was believed
that the Board of Freeholder: wou‘ id

SOCIETYIIERE
Miss Frances Hard of West
Avenue Hopes to Interest
Norwalk Children.
Miss Frances Hurd. of West: Avenue,
who has been connected with Audu-
bon work ever since the society was
organized in this state. is anxious to
start a local society for the children
who are interested in birds Next
Tuesday morning, July 25th. at 9
o‘clock. Miss Hus-d will meet those de-
siring to form a class at the South
Norwalk Public Library in the audi.
ence room.
There are new leaflets and buttons
each year and there are some in this
city who are proud to be the owners
of a complete set of Audubon Society
literature since the very beginning of
the work. Miss Hurd will bring in-
teresting specimens to the class. col-
ored pictures of birds. and other
valuable material to supplement her
talks. The most common songsters in
this section of the country will be
studied and discussed. These are the
cat bird. the song sparrow. the robin.
the flicker, the blue jay. and the blue
bird.
The purpose of this Junior Audubon
Club will be to have the children learn
all they can about the birds and real-
ise their usefulness. and will be ex-
pected to be kind to them. That the
stnudy is interesting is evident from
the fact that 1.893.315 Junior Audu-
bon members had been enrolled in
the United tales up ?0 Jur‘ 1. 1922.
and there have been many more who

as well as educational leaflets con-
taining accounts of the habits of the
birds and outline drawings of the pie-
tures for color werk.
When the children meet Tuesday
