The speaker of the day. Robert
Crosby. Secretary of the Bridgeport
Chamber of Commerce. urged the
business men of the city to look for-
ward in their visions of. Norwnlk's
future. He stated that Norwalk was
the only city of its size in Fair-field
County not represented by a. chant.
her of Commerce. and that the city
could not help growing. .
Vt‘hether the city was represented
by a civic body called the Chamber
of Commerce,"a Board of Trade. or
a Merchants’ Association. he stated
that it needed an active policy of
that body to direct the city's growth
in the most beneficial channels.
Norwalk. in common with the rest
Of I-‘airfleld County. because of its
proximity to New York. could not
help getting some of the "slopping
over" of the business and trade. of
the metropolis. The question was
whether the city was taking just
what it wanted. and ~what, was bene-~
ficial for it, or whether it was ad-
mltllng any kind of growth.
“Tour-h your children to believe in

walk as any place over the hills.
Teach them this. and make. the city
worthy of them.“
Speaking of a trip he had taken
with the Chamber .of Commerce
throughout Virginia. Mr. Crosby
stated that: the rest of the United
States “as awake to its commercial
possibilities. and that New England
must look to her inurcls as the
workshop of the nation. He showed

The item stayed in the estimate
of expenses of that department.
The foregoing incident illustrates
how economy and efficiency may
clash. The budget bureau offers its
ideas of what may be cut but the
cabinet officers feel they are respon-
sible -for the purpose operation of
their departments and that any out
which touches their organizations
vitally should be eliminated. The
President becomes the arbiter in
such disputes. and usually when
cabinet officer has made a good

long enough to determine whether
