“Our citizens ought to realize that
.we are living in a. progressive use.
and that Norwalk hflb progressed
'more in the last couple of years
than it did in the ten that preceed-
cd them." Thus spoke Mayor Robina
before the Board oi Trade at 8 meet-
ing recently.

Reviewing the pas
one tinda Unit: in Mayor Robins“
statement. Several important steps
:zomrd have been taken tor dd-
.. Vancemcm, bath in ‘civic and busin-
can matters.

During 1924 the Police Depart-
ment has made grout strides 20;.
.. wand. raced wiln unprecedented
‘1 problems. especmliy in the matter of
auto regulations, 1119;; have tackled
the protlem wnb couragr. A pro~
' » greasive attitude shown by those in
a charge 0: Police affairs has result.
I' ed in an laureate oi the force_ 0:
, four more milieu, and the East nor-
walk residenus have been given bct—
‘ ler police protection. An example 01
olflcicm \i .ltl-i was ill: prompt hand-
? ling of the ricent murder cfise on a
local oyster boat.
The tire d pal‘iz'itkt al::o
‘ 7 grown Will] the 10“ n. and the rmenl
. addition 01 six firmnen has enlarg-
Ped scope of the force. Several
large zlrua occurred during 1924. but
all were handled with creditable
. akill. and out one fatality “as re—
ported. The largest blaze of the year
'o—zhat 01 the old «5. .5. 1-; building.
put the fire fighters to a. eel/ere tent,
.and While the [OLGA damage border-
Med on Situtluu, it is to their credit
—t.b:it the blaze was prevented from
iv? spreading to other wooden buildings
‘1 41a cios~ proximity.

The Gounod has shown a. progress-
ive attitude, and throughout the
..- year have fostered many beneficial
5%. changes. Truly representing the poo-
flf—ple thnyiaie three times asked for
ironing in th eiace o! reiusale from
‘nme’ Board 0! Estimate and Taxation.
"':Another important step which has
’ yet to bear truit in their authorizing
*the Mayor to appom: a committee on
Charter Revision.

In School matters the Evening
Sentinel, in its survey, pointed out
roany shortcomings in facilities. The
= ard 0: Education has made all ei-
“‘torts to enlarge :he Sorwaik School
1"”syetem so that the growing popula-
' lion csn be handled and its present
{program has result-:d in the two new
V-Junior High Schools in Norwalk and
'rrEast Norwnik. as well u the new
' “A Broad River School.

Among civic bodies, the Kiwanis
T‘Club has done much good in solid-
v flying and Clarilying OpInICn on im—
. ' portant subjects by its mentinge. ad-
, ‘fudressed by speakers of not»). Such an

educational program has done much
"to foster cooperat've spirit among
' the merchants in Norwalk.
' The Board 0! Truie lia-
‘77'exampiary spirit in its recent ac-
tivities, and during the past few
months‘ has adopted a progressive
..progre.m that promises excellent re-
.2." suite. It's cine-1r cooperation with
1' the retail merchants has met an
T’enthusiastic reception.

In business matters, much has
