the appearance of Houdini Jr. From
all accounts Houdini Jr.. must be
more fish than man. for one of his
stunts. is to remain under water for
a. full hour in a. sealed casket.

The committee is sparing neither
time nor expense to make these an-
nual, Water Sports. perhaps the best
and. most attractive that the club
has ever held. Entries for all events
are fast pouring in on the committee
and the meet shows promise of pro-
vidlng excellent competition as well
as pleasure and amusement for every.
body. ’

.Any club member is eligible to
take part in anylevent. he or she
sees fit. The children of members are
also provided for in fancy diving
contests. swims. canoe races And
other events. The committee has
gone to the trouble of purchasing a
first class set of bamboo tilting poles.
which are to be used in that con-
tent and'whlch may also be had for
practice by any member upon appli-
cation to the steward of the club.
The poles have been ordered and are
expected to arrive shortly.

It is urged upon all who expect to
take part. that they put in some good
hard practice not only in the canoe
tilting events but also in the swims.
the dives, the canoe races etc. If
you can find a watermelon and a tub
of water. practice trying to pick the
fruit out of the water after ichas
been greased. (the melon. not the
water). This will stand'you in good
stead for the watermelon race. which
is expected to be one of the features
of the meet ,

Valuable prises will be awarded to
the connotants who finish near the
top in every event. All entrants must
be in the hands of the cemmlttee by
August 25. as positively no entries

NEW. HOTEL FOR
SOUlll NORWALK
autumn

Zebulin Sallick Buys Old
Y. M. H. A. Building At
So. Main and Monroe
Streets.

That South Norwalk. will have a
modern four story brick hotel in the
very near future. was intimated this
morning by Zebulin Salllck. local
manufacturer and realtor. who pur-
chased yesterday tho Young Men's
Hebrew Association home at the
corner of South Main and Monroe
streets. Mr. Ssllick said that he has
already plans in mind for a modern
brick structure which will be one of
tho heat in this city, and is undecidg
ed whether to provide for offices
and stores or for a hotel.

The property has a. 70 foot front-
age on South Main street and s. 185
foot space on Monroe street. It is
ideally lcclted near the center of
South Norwalk. close by the railroad
station and it is more, than likely
that the owner will employ the site
for a hotel.

The property now_consists of a
ten room house. which has been
used by the local Hebrew association
for the past five years.

Mr._Salllck. a. director of the Y.
M. H. A. said this morning that he
bought the property "without no-
tice." and has not been able to for-
mulate any definite plans as yet. He
owns considerable property in Nor-
walk. and expects the new enter-
prise to be the largest of all his
holdings.

The purchase price of the Monroe
street property is said to be around
$18,000. ‘

No Loans Needed to Tide
City Over Rest of Year

 

Council Gets Encouraging Report.

 

The end of the fiscal year. Sep-
tcmbcr 1. according to Councilman
Herbert 0. Pollard. chairman of the
finance committee, will find enough
money left within the budget allow-
ance to pay off all debts. unless:
through any unforeseen measurfi. a
sudden pressure is made on the fi-
nanccs.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the City Council in the City Hall last
night. Councilman Pollard's infor-
mation was greeted with much enthu-
siasm by the council and Mayor
Thomas Robins. who described the
feat as a very worthy precedent for
thrifty and wise expenditures in the
future. Mr. Pollard said this morn-
ing that the city has been able to
conduct itself through the year up to
August 1. “free and clear." and ac-
cording tc the present status will be
able to finish out the last month of
the fiscal term on its own budget
sources. -

Last night’s meeting concerned it-
self mainly with the question of road
repairs and street department af-
fairs. A resolution submitted by Cor-
poration Counsel John Cuneo and

Councilman Harry Mather. entailing.

a license fee for residents outside of
the Eourth district who install sew-
ers that connect with the city sys-
tem, was adopted last night. With
the single dissenting vote of Councils
man Robert Oliver. who deemed the
project “unfair." the council voted a
five dollar annuallicense fee for re-
sidents out of the Fourth district in-
stalling sewers. The resolution fur~
ther stipulates that the person for
whom the installation is made shell
defray the entire initial expense of
construction, and must first enter in-
to an. agreement with the city.
whereby the Mayor shall have the
authority with duly appointed per-
sons to reject or pass the application
at his discretion. The measure caus-
ed considerable argument in the
council chambers last night. and was
greatly hastened along by the pre-
sence of Frank S. Merrill.ia property
owner out of the Fourth district. who
has been making efforts during the
past few weeks to secure permission
to lay sewerq on his property.
lNSTAIdlATION OF SEWERS
OUTSIDE 4TH DISTRICT

The important features of the re-
solution adopted last night are:

1. Sewers are to be made and
maintained wholly by property own-
ers. ,
2. New sewers fordwelllng houses
in those portions must be subject to
a license fee of five dollars.

3. The failure to payihe initial
cost or the license will be considered
is Just offense upon which the city

, has all rightsto recover.

4. Every property owner in mak-
ing the agreement with the City
waives all claims against the City in
damages that may come . about in
cutting or severing sewers; Further.
the house owners are to pay the en-
tire coet. and have no right to recov-
er from the city the cost of main-
tenance. ..

s. The council reserves the right
to cut off server lines at its own dis-
cretion. The Mayor has the power of
entering into a contract with all sp-
pliconta, and will act at his discre-
tlon.

West Ave. Building Line

The West annue building line was
discussed at last night's meeting. and
a resolution that the "dummy" space
between the trolley tracks be the

center of the struh‘with the bulld- ‘

ing lines of both sides 46 feet away.
was referred to a committee. which
will investigate and report at the
next special meeting, which will b
held August 2‘. ‘

City Clerk Stephen Dokus read the
full rbport of' benefits and damages
on Cro- stroet property due to wid-
ening. The full lists will be published
by the city in the local newspapers
within a few days. Councilman Bian-
ley L. Tallmadge urged the gradins
and repairing of Meadow street.
which he said. is greatly hampered
by i present condition. The matter
will manned at the next meet.

er of accepting or rejecting the pro-
posed reappropriaticn. Councilman
Harry Mather scored the Oliver
proposition. as being “highly unfair"
after the council has accepted the
suggestion 'ln full numbers. The
paving on Lexington avenue calls
for the laying of concrete tom the
corner of Ely avenue to the portion
known as "Mud Hill.‘ ' .

A suggestion coming from Coun-
cilman Towers Hamilton, that prop-
erty located at the corner of Sea.-
view and Osborne avenues be acid.
was thwarted. temporarily at any
rate. by John F. McMahon. who was

supported by Corporation Counsel.

Cuneo in his contintlon that the
property there is part of the city
highway. arLd cannot be sold. ‘ This
property is located at the northeast
junction of the, two avenues. and
while it is used rarely as a. roadway
at the present time. it was originally
laid aside for, that purpose by the
city. The matter will be investigated.
and a report will be given at the next
meeting by Corporation Counsel
Cunec. . .

A report from Street Commission-
er Joseph Doman that some resi-
dents of Seaview :avenue and Van
Zant street had failed to improve the
sidewalks in front offietheir homes
was referred to the corporation
counsel. who will draw up a resolu-
tion placing a time limit on the rul-
dents. which will force them to effect
the alterations by a certain date.

fired two shots 'and ran away. I

other fellow who had ran away. but

me up to the police station. .

Tony always carried a sun. He eat
that Padula had several in his ‘\
