roaltydidn't take me long to go into
business when I had learned my
trade. There Was a great big car-
penter’s shop known as Russ Ray-
. mond‘s place at ill-2 corner of
Franklin and Madison streets facing
Madison street. I can remember at
that time there was no road leading
direct to the present railroad sta.
tion. In fact it was years later
when the Franklin strcct extension
ut through.
Ta‘fAf-iyhow. I went into the black-
smith and carriage game. And for
a. youngster. I did well. At that
time. everybody owned a horse and
wagon and there was plenty of bus-
iness. It wasn‘t long befor; I
bought out the carpenter shop and
the property adjoining.
"Things boomed along good and I
started branch shops. I had one in
Broad River. another in Knight
street. and a third in Stamford.
The Bicycle Ago.
“Shortly after the time I opened
business. the bicycle became popu-
lar. Everybody was riding. even
myself. I still have my first bicy-
(tie: a. Columbia. with a great high
in
wheel in front and a small one
the rear. It is many a time I took
"a. spill from the wheel. My lecal
business grew so that. I had to
" spread out and so I took two floors
’ of the old .‘lrion hall which had
, Just been constructed.
7 "The automobile. was created. It
was a suspicious looking object at
first. Once in a While one was sold
l‘t
here. I tackled a few myself.
first I sold the Ford at a price of
$1200 each. Sonic difference in
‘ that price and the price of today.
Then I started to monkey with the
steamer automobilc. In fact. I built
; one myself. I intended - to make
them: had orders on hand. only to
have the man who was in with me
leave. That ended the steamer:
“It wasn't long before the auto-
mobile became the practical means
of transportation. Then good-by
horse and carriage business. In a
short time. . the market simply
went under. Millions of dollars
were lost by the man acturcr let
alone the thousands lost by retail-
ers. I. myself. must have dropped
at least. $20,000. If you visit Madl-
son street where my place used to
be you will probably even now see
remnants of carriages which have.
like the old one-horse shay. crum-
bled into bits. It was a retty tough
blow.~ It got so bad I hat I finally
dropped the carriage end of the
business and went into the automo-
bile game entirely.
‘ Garage Business.
"When the Regent Garage was
constructed. I leased it and have
been here ever since. 01' course. as
I told you before. my lease expires
in June. and I do not intend to re-
new it. In fact. the lease has been
secured by the Norwallt Dealers’

20th that Rchsrd Golden has
crooked again lamenting the fact
that we cannot carry on the lust-
ness of the greater city of Norwalk
in the same manner as the business
was carried on in the old City of
South Not-walk. Now did it ever
occur to you Mr. Golden. that there
ever was such a thing as the old
iCity of Nor-walk which now . to-
gether with the old City of South
Norwalk and the old Town of her-
. walk goes to make up the present
beautiful charter which you helped
to make creating the Board of Esti-
mate and Taxation which you now
so harsnly criticise?) And’l might
suggest in passing that if you do
not like the work done by the
Board of Estimate that you might
have steps taken to reduce the sal-
aries of the members of that body.
New I admit ”r. Golden. that
there were some fine things done by
some of the old citizens of South
Norwalk most of whom. like the
Fit." of South Norwsik are now
dead. Won't you admit .‘lr. Golden.
that there were some fine things
done by the old citizens of the old
City of Norwalk to whom you give
no credit and the offspring of whom
go to make up this new and modern
City of Norwali: somewhat different
from the old cities of fifty years
ago in your time?
"Surc." South Norwslk hasa good
water system and "Sure Norwalk
has s. good water system (and in
solidatcd).
a good filter and Norwslk has none.
but i guess 'hat they could build
one with money equal to what So.
Nov-walk owes for hers. \K'llen they
do build a filter I hope that it will
take out all tlie croskcrs because I
think there are a few
about the present City of Norwalk
because it is not governed to suit
their own individual desire.
Now the Electric Plant: I was one
of those. present along with your-
self when we voted the 332.500 to
establish the plant and. by the way.
as you say. there were plenty of
cronkers there and there was a. hot
time in the old town that night.
Well that 'u as a long time ago. and
I must say that the interest of the
people in the id plant is somewhat
lagging. as a 3 art time ago there
was a district meeting called to give
the commissioners the right to
spend 8800.000 and there Was not a
quorum present and the meeting ad~
journed.
Another meeting was called and I
think there were nineteen there and
quite a number of those present
were not property owners and pess-
? ed a vote that the commissioners be
ggivcn the right to spend the sum of
3300.000. I am given to understand
that the commissioners never took
the liberties extended to them by
that vote. thanks to the men who
have the plant. in charge. Don't
you think that was a bad precedent
to establish? If some men had that
power. as proven by the experience
of some other cities. the $300,000
might: all be gone by this time, and
what could you do about it? I
agree with you that the district is
fortunate in having a man of Mr.
Winchester's type to manage the
plant and also fortunate in having
good commissioners all this time.
New I see that the . location of
the new deck does not seem to suit
you and I would suggest that you
take the matter up with the com-
mittee who has chsrgc of that mat-
ter and they might have it. moved
to the .place where you think it
ought to be. New in relation to
paving East avenue. the only one I
have ever heard ssy it should not be
paved is yourself. when you stated
that the reason you moed from
West avenue was because of the
noise 0 fthe pavement and you were
against paving East avenue. But
sometimes we forget. ‘
Now in relation to this board of
"Obstruction sud Expense" as you
see at to call us;. If all the people
think as yo’u do why not have the
charter changed and do away with
them. I know that none of .the
members of that body will feel bad
