Norwalk Concerning Plans For Dmnp Has No Objection to Public Meeting Where Whole Situation Can‘Be Thoroughly Aired—Says Re- ports Have Been Made As Needed. The city will have a park in place of the Seeview avenue dump in Best Norwelk within five years. said John I'. McMahon, chairmen of the Bridge Committee this morning, in answering " the allegations of a group of Best Norwalkers that the dump has become a nuisance that will not be cleared away for years. llond Issue Needed Work there cannot be pushed to the extreme desired this year. he said. because a bond issue is neces- sary and it is thought by the com- mittee mmbere that other money being requested from the legislature by the city. notably for the building of a” new Junior high school. is more important. Since the money cannot be ob-‘ tnlned right away work must be cut- i‘lcd on comparatively slowly until t h e u e xt 'legislature. .‘l r. M c- Mahon declared. By the time the issue is granted. three years from now the project will be ready for the heaviest part of the work. that of filling in mud from the channel behind the dike now half complet- ed from the bridge to the foot of Belts place. The dlko is being built. it was stated. as the best plan since it was agreed that other suggestions. espec- ally that the park be filled and made progressively instead of en- closing the water and then filling. would not bring desired results. The committee has planned the proiect so that when the tide is out there will be no mud visible around it. To do this the mud from outside the dike must be removed and may therefore be used as fill. Ashramgnsat Water The mosuutto question raised was definitely answered by Mr. McMa- hon. "Aa the dike is built" he said. "when the water is enclosed. bridges will be out into the dike to permit water flowing freely with the tides. There will be no stagnant water there. Of course it will be neces- sary to confine the water during the space required to fill the plot after the dike is completed. but it will be drained immediately." There is. he declared. considerable personal feeling in the attitude of the East Norwnlk group which will shortly call a. meeting of citizens to retest the conduct of the project y the committee. "I do not think the people speaking on the matter represent five per: cent of the citi- zens of East Norwslk. " he said and then agreed that in any case it'nas better to have the whole situation aired to the public to settle any ex- pressed Ilullhls one way or another. The Financial Details or ”it: allegation that some ac- counting should be made by the committtv of tho SIOOLOOO fund on- is trusted to its cure the chairman said: "N... member of the commit- tee has Cu r touched currency.

The then Corporation Counsel Edward J. Quinlan object- ed to the withdrawal on grounds that the certain parts of the com- mittre's duties could not be carried on by the city. The t'nited States Government. through Major Peterson, its engin- eer. has approved of the committee’s dike project at the dump. Mr. Mc- Mahon said. The only restriction made by the engineer was that no mud could be pumped behind the duke until a retaining wall of boards had been erected. and this will be (ltl‘le as soon as the dike is com- pleted in the meantime. be said. the waters of the harbor are not be- ing polluted by the garbage. He says that little breaks loose. The fire on the dump September 114. he admitted. was unpleasant. but no one objected when the old (‘rofut and Knapp plant fire filled the district with smoke and there- fore he can see no reason why pub- lie objection should be voiced on a comparatively small matter like the dump fire. 4| 0h.

Stirring Days At Convention OI Labor Men Accordingl to all accounts. big news is being made in Detroit this week. where one sensation has fol- lowed another since the American Federation of Labor opened its an- nual convention there. Tuesday. The first excitement came when the Detroit 1’. M. C. A. and several Detroit churches which had invited prominent labor leaders to address church meetings canceled the invt~ tatlons. Then followed the charge from la- bor leaders that the religious or- ganliatlons were influenced against labor by business interests, especial- ly the Detroit Chamber of Cem- merce. Then came a split among the churchmen. some declaring the la- bor men should be heard. and one prominent church leader went so far as to apologize for what the re- ligious organisations had done. One or two of the religious or- ganizations recalled their cancella< tions previously extended to the la- bor men. but the labor men then refused to speak. Feeling had be- come too bitter.
