Fireworks at Carnival
Many persons again 'visited the
carnival now being conducted by the
City League Baseball 'Clubs at.
Amusement Park and witnessed the
great Van Norman do his death-de-
fying bicycle leap. \‘an Norman
rides down a. steep incline. leaves
his bicycle at a point 23 feet in the
air. making a dive into a tank of
tire and water. The act will again
be the attraction at. Amusement
Park tonight and tomorrow. As a
special added attraction for Satur-
day night. the league has made ar-
rangements for a. grand display of
special fireworks which are now be-
ing made up by Jimmy Filer, bet-
ter known as “King Fireworks."
The carnival will be extended until
October 3rd. wit a. new display of
fireworks on Mon y, Tuesday and
\\‘cdnesday.
For Monday night many extra
pieces are being made. and the popu-
lar Jimmy is now hard at work on
his masterpiece. “Norwalk's Next
Mayor." which will be shown next
Monday night. The tireworks on
Saturday night will. be shown in ad-
dition to the great Van Norman,
who makes his last appearance Sat-
urday.

gucss work of such adjustment. is
perfectly feasible practically. and is
almost indispensable to a. company
having ten or more. liggo. truclu: in
service, especially if supplied with ad
justable carburetors.
The Government ll'unl Yard trucks
tested by the Bureau of Min-ts rang-
ed in capacity from 2: 1-2 to ‘7 193
tons. During the winter months.
when the demand for coal is hcrvy,
from 30 to 35 trucks are uscd. Hilll~
pics of the exhaurt gas were (alum
0n the trucks kept in Sl'f'\lt‘-‘ for
s mmcr7bauling in order to deter-
iuo the carburetor adjusilncnt as
used. Changes were then made to
a. more economical adjustment whor—
ever possible. without sacrificing
filcxibility of operation and power.
In every case the adjustments were
maintained fOr maximum pmvcn but
were adjusted to the lcanr-st position
to give that power. in all but one
case. the carburetors were found to
be adjusted too rich for maximum
power and economy.
The. actual increasa in milcact- and
saving of gasoline due to the carbu—
retor adjustments made by gas sm-
alysis. when the month previous and
following the adjustments arc com-
pared. showed an increase in mileage
of 22 per cent. for the second month
after-adjustment. 16 per cent; and
for the third month. 9 per cent.
When the mileage is compared truck
{or truck. and not taking into consid-
eration .the distance each traveled
during the month. the increased inel-
cage equaled 24.7, 21.;I and 16.2 per
cent. respectively.
The adjustment of carburetors by
analysis of exhaust gas is based upon
the fact. that the carbon dioxide in
the exhaust is. a direct indication of
the air fuel ratio and completeness
of com ustion tells whether the ear-
buretor is properly adjusted for
maximum power and gasoline eeono.
my. '
Other conditions being constnnt.
the mileage obtainable varies as the
percentage of carbon dioxide in the
exhaust gas and air-fuel ratio. This
has been little realized by most gar-
agemen in the past. The other fac-
tors are carefully watched and
guarded against. while carburetor
adjustment is usually left to the me-
cording to his own‘ notions. Usually
the adjustment is far too rich for
maximum economy. There are. how-
ever. exceptions to this rule. A de-
termination of the carbon dioxide
content ofthe exhaust gas while the
vehicle is being operated on the road
gives aposttive‘indicatlon of the caré
guesswork.

Bureau of Mines Tests Prove This to Be a Fact—Weath-

in maintain the. most economical ad-
justments. If the monthly mileage
is recorded. it. becomes only neces—
uuyjo check the. adjustment of
those, that fall below the usual mile-
ago which should be obtained when
properly adjusted. The. carbon diox-
ide indicator used for making the ad-
justments while the trucks were o‘per
alt-ti was found to be practical and
easily operated by the layfiien inex-
perienced in the handling of chemi-
cal apparatus.
The bureau suggests that one driv-
er may be able to get considerably
more mileage than another, due to
the method of driving. The mileage
ls'grcutly increased by disengaging
the. clutch whenever possible and
coasting. ln approaching a heavy
grade. sufficient momentum should
be obtained to carry the vehicle a
ccnsidcrnbln distance-up the grade
ltct'orc making it necessary to change
gears.
The general condition of the truck
is ilnpnrifinf in determining the mile-
ago which may be obtained. chief of
which are ignition. compression. in-
flation of tires, and conditions of the
brakes. One. missing cylinder may
make it necessary to run most of the
time in second gear. if the compres»
sion is poor, owing to leaky piston
rings. scored piston, or leaky valves.
the. mileage will be greatly reduced.
The inflation of the tires is import-
ant. One binding brake may decrease
the mileage to considerable extent.
\\’catlicr has a marked. effect on
the mileage. obtainable. In general.
a motor runs better at. higher humi-
dity and temperatures: Rainy wen-
ther decreases the mileage on ac-
count of the. slippery nature of the
sin cts: so docs snowy weather.

about roads. There is dust in the

eyes while he was speaking.-~The
dust in the. air and the dust of time.
“In 1923. at. the time of consoli-
dation and when we .were building
the bridge in South Norwalk, I am
taking these figures from a book, so
that there will be no question about
their correctness the. cost. of mater-
ial was as follows: Sand was 8.63 a
yard, gravel $1.13 a yard. Cement
f1.63 a bag, Teams $.55, Labor $1.75
a day. and carting stone 31-00. The
cost of sand today has increased
177 per cent. cement 194 per cent.
teams 200 per cent. labor 343- per
cent. and stones 245 per cent. The
cost. of material today is practically
the same as labor. The average cost
of material has raised 211 per cent.
and the average cost of labor 343 per
cent. Can anybodyxhere expect one
to construct ‘roads when the cost has
gone up 277 per cent. and maintain
the roads as good as they werein
1913? It is absolutely impossible. It
is a physical impo bility to keep
up the condition of our highways or
the conditloin of our scheme. at the
same expense as in 1913.

"New I have made "sane notes out
here, tonight. so that we can get: the
figures as close as possible.
:"Mr. eGorge Hubbell hasbeen put
in as Building Inspector. Two
months before I appointed Mr. Hub-
bcll. I never knew that there was
such a. man as Mr. Hubbell. I did
not know him at all. 'If' Mr. Hub-
bell were a relative of mine. I would
be proud of it.‘ He has made a good‘
building Inspector. and his this office
has more than paid for itself. There
will be some $500. or $600 ahead 0:
the expenses of the office at the end
of the year. The charge for building
inspection fees and licenses is a mod-
erate charge. and the advantage that
it has given tq the city in matters
of fire and matters of the supervis-
ion or 'the construction of buildings
in our city. hast been remarkable.
“Mt‘s. Davis is not a relative of
mine. yet it has been reported that
Mrs. Davis took my place when I was
absent from the City Hall. Lots of
people have seriously asked if it was
true. Of course the City Hill might.
have been in worse hands. and Dro-
bably as been in worse glands that
Mrs. Davis. but to my knowledge she
one occasion.
“I am appearing here tonigkt in
the interest of Mr. Robins. Mr.
Robins is not a relative of mine. 1
have no interest at all in this elec-
tion. except the interest. the best
interest for the city of Norwalk.
"Now there were some things
that were takcn up here last night
that I would like to bricilfly men-
tion. That was the annual report.
This matter was taken up before
the council in April or )lay.‘ 1922. as
soon as we could prepare the state-
ment. .it was read lit-fore the coun-
cil and I suppose is on record. It
also went out in printed form with
the tax bills :1 year ago. It. was the.
same statements of accounts that I
gave a week or so ago before the
\\'omen's Republican club in the
loyal Jamcs Hotel. You will find
all the figures on that statement.
“1 have been given 24 hours to
retract the statement that was made
about the deficit in the preceding
administration. I don‘t know what
is going to happcn to me. for it. is
past 24 hours. but if anything is
going to happen. I am out of jail.
anyway. for a little longer time.
“The aspirant for the honors of
the city hall told you that when he
'was in the city hall the grand list
was 325.000.0130 and it jumped to
$36,500,000 and he wishes to know
how it happened. In 1918 it was
$25.0tl0fil‘ltl. ln lflL‘O, $38,440.000. in
1921 $34,550,000. and it has jumped
two million dollars more in the. last
two years.
"Last night thcrc was a statement
made. about an annual report that
was supposcd to he made by the
mayor. There has been one in ten
years it was mid. Dr. liarstrom
nmde two annual rcports.
“In regard to the dcllcit in the
matter of the sinking fund which
fund is used for the benefit of the
city. That. platter was so garde so
that I do not know- whclhcr the re—
port was correct or incorrect. but
the greater part of the 8400.000 that
was “paid off ‘at that time had been”
laid aside by the preceding adminis-
tration's hydrant suit. when they
brought :1 526.000 suit against the
city. The corporation'counsel voted
that it be settled. The. Board of Es~
tilnate refused the funds for its tip-
propriation. The case ' went into
court. The attorney who represent-
ed the city. a short time before the
case was called. refused to lake the
case and it so came about that our
corporation counsel had to decide
the case. after deciding that the bill
should be paid.
"\\'e were also told. according to
newspapers last night. that this
council had been extravagant in its
cxpcnditurcs. and that we borrowed
sixty~iivc, seventy to ninety-five
thousand dollars. every figure appar-
ently from sixty-five to ninety—five
thousand dollars. I want to tell
you here tonight that through the
courtesy of the. city clerk, the form~
er incumbent of the city hall came
into the city hall. looked over these
records and thus judged our.expcn-
diturcs. lie. was told that there was
in the ofilce a check for about $7.—
000 but he failed to mention that
fact. and many others which he was
told. .110. also said "Look out and
see the condition of the street
alongside of the city hall." then
he says “go to the graveyard." I
don‘t know what he means, but I
am perfectly willing to go to the
political graveyard and I think he
ought to be sent along with me.."_
“In regard to the rate of taxes
that we are paying here. It is a.
peculiar thing about taxes. You raise
a'lilan's tax 325 and he takes your
head off. but if you go out and ask
a. man for $10 for any purpose. you
will most likely get it. it is funny,
but most everyone wants something
to say about it. But our taxes
throughout. the United States are
reasonable. I made a study of about
one hundred cities from Connecticut
to the coast and I found that the
average tax on $100 throughout the
United States is twentyofour mills,
and our greatest rate- this year is
25.2 mills. The Commission sent by
the state says that our property .is
based on a value of $64.6 or based
on $100—16.3 mills in the First
District and down here in the Fourth
and Fifth Districts. 8:9 mills. com-
pared witlr an average of 24. mills
throughout .the country. Last year
we received a total tax of 3790.-
799.3(). which would make an
average throughout the city. divid-
ing our 32,000 population, instead
‘of 35,000. wo’uld make an average
of $24.70 throughout the city for
every man. woman and child. The
average throughout the country is
something like $45 to $50 a person. ‘
"We do not make money in the
City Hall. all we can do lsyto spend
what you give us to~'spend.- I do
not believe that the‘people through
out‘Norwalk are so stingy that they
wish to have the conditions of our
schools and streets and walks below
the level of the-cities around us.
"I in want to say a word in re-
gard t .Mr. Robins. Now in tats
City in which 'we live. I believe that
you want. .a man to represent you
who is a. good. clean, bone-t. earnest '
jupright. ' hard-working—.man, and
has never been in my office, but on .-
I will “give Mr. Robin's cremai- 'the
earnest any in which he has taken
hold of this work. There has been
more work done in the last two
months ”than in ~months and months
before that time.. I believe that it
only takes a. few dollars more on
your taxes to give you these good
roads. This year we have that mo.
ney. 835,000 was voted for high-
ways.- probablyniore in the budget.
than you had before. There is a
chance now to put these roads in
a. satisfactory condition, and 1 be-
lieve that Mr. Robinsis the proper
man to look after that work.
"Now next Tuesday night. I step
out. or the office as Chief Magistrate
of this City.-I am going to leave this.
office with the kindest feeling to-
ward everybody in the whole city of
Nor-walk. I haven't any objection to
and at all with the support that has
been given me as Mayor.
"There are many things that i had
intended to do. many things that I
.pledgqi toedo -tw0 years ago. and
many things I promised that I have
not been able to do. not because of
lack '0! support, but bemuee of lack
of appropriations to give you these
things that you want.
“I want to thank you all for your
co-opcration. I have enjoyed the
support that you have given me and
1 want to thank you."
Mr. Lamson said in part:—
"Mr. Chairman. Fellow Citizens: 1
am not down here tonight to speak
to you because I have any fear that
any man or group of meacan rob
llowayton of its Republicans by a
roast. If I were a Republican in this
Republican ward and. anybody or
groups of bodits thought that be-
cause 'ot‘ atroast they could clange
my views. or with a ham sandwich
could.buy my votes. I would say that
Iwould feel right to be insulted. It
cannot be done and nobody believe:
it. .
"I am here tho,7not because i like
to week. not because my mother was
a woman. am" because my Wife is a
female. but because I believe that
everyone should want to raise his
voice every opportunity he gets
when there are vital issues at stake.
I do not believe ihata public speak-
er should spend his whole time
throwing mud or condemnation.
"I want to raise my voice about
the schools. I want everyone of you.
men. women and children to talk
from now until Monday. to get just
one more vote, one more "yes" on
the school proposition.
"But. 1 am not supposed to talk
to you this evening on the school
question, 1 am here to talk on the
political issue.
"Tonight I read some of those
speeches that were made down here
last evening. ‘Thcy are probably
fresh in most of your minds.
"Una of the speakers is one of my
best friends. He is a. clever lawyer,
a. very brilliant man, a very able
man. and 1 am very fond of him.
And .I read that. speech of his over
and over again. It was a. clever
speech not. for what it said. but for
what. it didn't say. That. man is in
the wrong camp. He ought to be a
Republican. \Vhen-lie said that. this
City of ours is a $3?.000.000 coil-pot~
atlon. he showed that he is a. good
Republican and he doesn't know it.
This 831000.000 is all. paid in and
fully accessible. There was $500,000
spent last year to run this wonder-
ful corporation of ours. \Vell, I will
not try to correct those figures. be-
cause we spent a lot of time last
year trying toehcck up some of the
Democratic figure, and they didn't
ch(ck up.
“My interest in speaking to vou is
that of a fellow citizen. “’0. are all
stockholders in that corporation. “’e
must. km: a Board of Directors, or a
Mayor or a man in charge “no is
capable of managing the attains of
this corporation. and I say therciorc.
pick out the man to represent you
in this City government. this City
which is right on the threshhold of
doing big things. who can manage
the affairs of this City in the right
way.
“Your child at 18 is a. very dif-
ferent responsibility than when that
child was 12‘. He is just launching
out into manhood. with all the pos-
sibilities of life before him, Every-
one is expecting great things of him.
And so with this City. The. eyes of
the whole world are upon it. Great‘
things are possible. The man that
we put in ’to guide us till-u this
period. has a. record or doing things,
and there is the man we are going
to pick. right there in that chair.
Thomas S. Robins. This-administra-
tion is unusually fortunate. “'e have
a man who can serve the Mayor well.
who is able to bettenthe City. who
can help look after the affairs of
this corporation and who can hold
up the hands of the to be Mayor as
well. and that is our representative
here. Mr. Benton. I hope you will
send him up to ,. help this man as
Mayor. lie was the first man to give
unlimited service at the time of the
Great “’ar. He gave up everything
and helped. He is a, man who can do
things. Send him along. put him on
the job.
“You have an administration that
has made a. far better record than
most ogyou know about. They spoke
last evening about what the charter
requires. That is a.’ great. mm; to
study,. everyone of us should study
it somewhat I have studied it. We
are right at a. point where we need
foundations. Let us Carry Von: Igt
us stand firm, and we lwill. i know
We will. put a high type of citizen
in. the Mayor's chair. together with
his associate Mr. Benton."
