Gives Talk On Taxes‘
— Denounces Condi-fi

The Norwalk Club began putting
on full steam ahead last. night at a.

club rooms in “Tall street. Seventy-
five members out of a total of 150
attended.
Those who attended were we}! en-
tertained for Dave Ester-son brought
Up the entire list of vaudeville per-
formers that are now performingnt
the Palace.
The dinner was helped along by
the singing of many old time songs.
Immediately after the meal John
Milne. president of the club sprang
two surprises on those assembled.
He said that the new omcers of the
club had started out to lncu’ase the
membership of the club to three
hundred by the end of the year. He
declared he has already received ap-
plications from twenty-five men.
some of whom had drapped out. and
others who were brand new mem—
bers. Then while Tom Balcom.
Tax Commissioner, was listening in-
tently to the new president. Mr.
Milne sprung the second surprise in
the shape of a large floor lamp and
an electric curling iron for the Tax .
Commissioner and his bride. Thu-3"
were married quietly about a Week .
ago. Mr. Balcom thanked the mem-
bers for remembering him and said
he wouldn't give them a. talk on hap-
py married life but would say some-
thing on taxes and assessments.
He declared that taxes and as-
sessments were a part of govern-
ment that received about. the most
knocks but were probably the least
understood. and the reason why
mOSt residents misunderstood the
question was that they really lacked
interest in getting information. He
admitted taxes and assessments
were unequal in the Nor-walks, but
said there was a good reason for
this situation. He declared that
the methods of fixing assessment
were archaic. not only here in Nor-
walk. but in most community
thnwghour‘tho country. ‘When he
went into omce all he had were the

l president.
Mrs. Davis carried an nrmful of

assisted in service.
The reception was tendered Mrs.
Davis by the executive committee in
order that the members of the a.\o-
elation might have an opportunity
to express their regret at her resig-
nation from the organization. She
was leader and founder.
Mrs. C. A. Harstrom was the gen-
eral chairman, ably seconded by
Mrs. George Hubbeli and Mrs. John

of the assoeiation members is due
the great success of the occasion.

Norwalks," he said, "but I will not
be able to complete it for a. few
years. ,Maybc some day I will be
provided with an automobile so that
I can do the work faster."
He decried the lack of interest
taken in the matter of taxes and
assessments. declaring that men who
should know about them denounced
them on the street corners. but sel-
dom went to the tax commissioner’s
office to find out the reasons for
the apparent trouble.
“And it's not alone the matter of
taxes, he added. “It is a. shame
how few men take an interest in
any of our government. dongs. I’Vhy.
we have had to adjourn town meet-
ings for lack of ‘enough people to
hear the reports. Government is the
business of officials, of course, but
it is your business, too. How do you
know what a. small group of men
are doing at a. meeting unless you
attend? Yet if something is done
of which you don‘t. approve you cri-
ticize it afterwards when you should
have been at the meeting and taken
part in, the proceedings.
"\V‘hat Norwalk needs, and I'm al-
most afraid to mention it, though It
is an absolute necessity. is a. block
plan for making assessments. This.
will cost 320.000. But in theend it.
would be a. saving to the community;
and it would help greatly to equalize
assessments .and therefore bring in
the proper and a greater amount of,
taxes with which to run this city.
It. is being used in New Rochelle:
and is paying for itself. We would.
n't need to have all this money at
once because the work will
about four or five years, so that.
spread over that time $5,006 a. year
would be necessary. But gentle-
men it is the best method today and
should have been put into service
here years ago. W'hy under the
present system we don't know wheth-
er a. man in the outskirts has sixty
or one hundred acres. Remember
we have over twenty-six square
miles to cover in Norwalk while
Bridgeport has much less.
“The sooner we get this tax ques-
tion systemlzed and up todste the
better it will be for Norwalk. And
we should have it quickly because
Norwalk is growing fast. faster than
