The recently arrived foreigner in Norwalk, doing his best
i
to absorb not only the language but the customs and ideals of
the lend of his adoption, to fit himself for citisenship, appreciates
the stand taken by The Evening Sentinel to defend him from
slanderous abuse.
s“ This is shown by two communica-

letters follow:

The matterris now open to fur-

rudely cut short when Mr. Adams
refused to answer several questions
which I put to him at that meeting.
'In fact he refused to talk to me at
all on the matter.
I felt that I had a perfect right to
ask those questions and further.
'since he refused to answer them...

in Mr, Adams' talk. In my work

earnest in their desire to become
"ligood Americans and I feel that the
slanderous attitude of Mr. Adams
was a. direct insult to those 10,000
foreigners. .,
Some of us are trying to bring
about'e. better feeling between the
foreign groups and the native Amer-
ican groups. but such a talk as that
given by Mr. Adams. under the aus-
pices of the D. A. R. tends to des-
troy every vestage of good will that
we may succeed in building up.
‘ W are‘in hopes. that in the near

HARTFORD. Feb. :5.—(AP) The
Manufacturers' Association of Con-
necticut has sent out an appeal to
its members throughout the state
to um . ‘l freight cars promtly.
claiming that deliveries by the
”New Haven" R. R. can be hasten-
ed if this appeal is heeded. The as-
sociation pointed out that at several
points the placing of cars is now
delayed because. of congestion due
to failure of consignees to unload at
once. The association also directed
attention to the failure in many in-
stances to clean cars after unloading.
"A practice which results in some
delays. as such cars are “or ac-
cepted by the originating road un-
til they are entirely empty."

The first mom: that will probably

district. .
Formal notice of the opinion
handed down in the Supreme Court
of. Errors was received by the law
firm of Tammany :lnd Connery today
to the conllllissioncrs.
At the present time the district has
no funds available to Ill‘nclinn other
lthan those received from private in-
?dlviduals. The budget presented to
the board of estimate and taxation
at the last session was not acted
upon because of the: injunction
granted by Judge John J. Walsh in
the Court of Common Pleas restrain-
ing the board from levying any taxes
against property owners in that dis-
trict.
A request may be mad-3 by the dis-
trict commissioners to Mayor Thom.
as Robins to call a special meeting
of the board of estimate and taxa-
tion to appropriate funds.
This will mean the laying of a. spe-
cial tax against the property owners
of that district.

l-‘orrller Mayer Burton called upon
)Invor I-lolvl'ns to express himself re-
garding 1hr; revision of the charter.
He. said in part: .
"I am in favor of revising ibe‘
charter, but the question in my mind
is. ‘Wouid ll be feasible to try to
revise and amend the present char-
ter 01- more. feasible to make a new
charter to meet the. prescllt day con-
ditions'."

several cities in the stair.- and there
are many suggestions ill them which

"Under our present system be

be hard to model our chm-ici- after
that of any oihrr city because of
the: conditions. Our administration
only is: consolidated and the city
owns nothing: bill a few pieces of fire
apparatus, police equipment and sev.
«.rnI miles of paved highways.
"We should extend our sewers. an.“
police and fire prolei‘tlon and bring:
the districts into one. It can be
done and that is what we are trying
to do.
“There are many other matters
that could be improved. Appropria-
tions are made in July and become
available for use on September i.
The tax bills‘are sent out in October
and the old governing body has the
use of the city's pocketbook for a
month. In other cities an adminis-
.lrnilon makes its appropriations
when it com-rs into office. This mat—
ter should be taken up. The fiscal
year of the district ends July 31
llhus making two fiscal year reports
that must be made to the Public
Utilities Commission. that of the
city and the districts.
“We should have a regular system
of highways, police and fire super~
vision. In other cities they have
boards of public works. fire and po-
lice commissions of three to six
members outside of the jurisdiction
of the council. We should have a
special park committee to have su-
pervision over our parks. As it now
stands one member of the Council
supervises these departments.

cided about certain rights of their

"1 want to see the committee ac-
complish something and I see no
reason why we can't. If you think
that a new charter is advisable you
may be able to do this easier than
to revise the present one. I may have
copies of the charter for each mem—
ber of the con‘lmlllee In the near
future. At. the present file the on-
ly copy available is the one that. I
have hn the table.
