.1 the formation of a Chamber of Commerce was taken
‘ the Norwalk Hardware company and prime mover in
appoint a committee to consult with the Second
of Trade with the idea of making this board a city-
.tzon instead of being confined to the south end of
for the merchants. These are only
a few of the things we have accom-
plished and are accomplishing. These
same things can be done here."
Mr. \Vheeler placed his Stamp of
approval upon the Chamber of Com-
merce body declaring that all busi-
ness men should put their shoulder
to the wheel. He aasured those pre-
sent that the Kiwanis club Would be

proved the formation of the organi-

Plans Under Consider-
ation to Take Over
Part of Hotel for the

oflice '
That there is a possiblity ot the
Norwaik Post—omco removing. trom
its present location in Main street
to the Royal James lnn as the re-
sult of the protest made by the Nor-
walk Kiwanis club was learned to-
day from an authorltlve source by
the Evening Sentinel. It is known
th‘ plans are being considered
which call for the remodelling of
the present dining room and sun-
parlor in the west wing of the hotel
into stores and a post-othee. Thor-e
plans. however, are only in the em-
brye. .
. A meeting of the Norwalk Kiwanis
club held recently. a protest against
the present local of the First Dia-
trict post-once was lodged. During
the session. the post-omce was term-
ed a "hole in the wall." A committee
was appointed to ask Representative
Schuyler Merritt 0! Stamford. to in-
spect the post-onion and to ascertain
itnanything could be done to remedy
the situation.
Following the inspection. Repre.
sentative Merritt. in a letter to the
Kiwanis club. assured the organiza-
tion or his co-operation in moving
the poet-omce to larger quarters. He
agreed that the present location was
too cramped. In his letter. bowegcr.
he declared that the rental of a new
location must not cost more than
82.0.0 a year.
The next plan suggested was the
requedelling or the west wing of the
Royal James hotel so to provide
space for a pat-once and» pouibly
one or two" stores. This plan is at!!!
in the works. I! the dining room is

the .organization is restricted to

goes on to state: “this is a white
