. W: believe 11.! Voters of Norwalk
«'21 be given the right to vote on
the czvic renter at the next cityl
s;ect;3n and that at that time theyi
wt'J show their approval of it by a
cvtrnuclng majority.
'lhe arguments against local op-
nou framed in Hartford were the
usual ones. Some 16" merchants
crroneously have been persuaded
that a civic center on the Mathews
property Will detract from their;
business in the Second District.
Such talk is no more valid than
that Roton Point or Call Pastifi
Beach will cut into trade in 0
section or the other. Shopping die-
tricts are the outgrowth of long es-
tablished habit. They are not
changed except as a city changes
its path of growth. Undoubtedly
Narmtlk‘s line of growth will
change. but that is to be expected
neither today nor tomorrow.
“'e are tending daily. despite all
opposition. to become. a unified city.
The desxrn for a. central civic center
as an indication of this tendency. A
question:
1..
unified -‘il_v means municipal econ-
omits. lower taxes. better schools.
roads. police and tire protection
and sewerage disposal. a stronger
appeal to prospective residents and
manufacturing plants. hence more
rapid expansion and greater retail
trade.
Another argument against the
measure is that the city cannot af-
ford the expense at this time. Was
ever an improvement suggested but
that the dit~hards in our midst
shouted it cost too much or too
little. or that the time wag not op~
rortune. or that taxes would be too
high?
To be sure a civic center will cost
the taxpayers money. But it will
be worth every cent of ii.
To be sure also. we need an in-
creased school building program. a
permanent road building program.
a. sewerage disposal plant. and per-
haps a score of other civic improve-
moms. and need them badly.
The city dining past years has
allowed altogether too much money
to run through its linkers. as a re-
sult of faulty management. with no
tangible results in buildings. roads
or parks.
If necessary. the city's debt limit
must be increased—but every ne-
cessary iicm of improvement for
the grnrxth of Norwalk should now
be init’t‘mi. so that reproach will
and «if. the present and dominant
progress begins where it leaves off.
Judge John Keogh. who with Ed-
ward J. Quinlan and the msJority
o! the leading citizens of Norwelk
is championing the Civic Center
Bill. summed up the arguments for
the measure at Hartford when he
said that the Mathews Estate would
double in value in ten years.
Today it is valued at half a mil-
lion. ten years ago at 8250.000.a.nd
ten years hencc’it will cost a. mill-
ion.
