James Connell. Democratic nomi-
noo for representative to the Gen-
ersl Assembly. in the following let-
ter to "it! editor of The Sentinel do.
lends the district form of local gov-
ernment. now in force here under
provisions of the charter of consoli-
dation. and opposes the sale of
the districts‘ utilities to the city as
advocated by the Charter Revision
committee:

Oct. 2i. 1920.
Editor. The Evening Sentinel.

The Charter Revision committee
is making arrangements for sub-
mission to a. referendum vote at the
coming election. the proposal that
the First. Second and Third dis-
tricts shall sell their pubUc utilities
such as water works. electric welks.
The Green. parks. libraries. and
whatever other properties that the
respective districts may own. to the
City of Norwalk.

May I have the opportunity of
explaining the proposal and the sit-
uation as I understand it?

This proposal has grown out of
tho idea that consolidation in Nor-
walk is not real; that it is not con-
solidation at all. except in name:
and that the various district govern-
ments—governments in themselves
——stand in the way of what is call-
crl real consolidation. Further.
that those local units within the
union of districts or the city. hamp-
er and obstruct progress because of
sectional differences. intcrcsts. Jeal-
ousy. and so on.

Granting. for the sake of argu-
mom. that the supposition is true.
and that it can be realized. I ask the
question: Would it change lilo atti-
tude or mind of the people of the
respective districts—anything dif-
ferent from what it is at present?[
It is the nt‘iiudc and mind of tllo'
people. the expressed attitude and.
mind. that crcltc and carry to real-
izntion the principles of better gov-
ernment; not the form of govern-
ment which molds the attitudes and .
minds of the people.

Governments and government are
created. develop and function by the
cxpresscd will of the people-mol-
\u‘tllstnpdlng Mussolini to the con-
trary. Our government unis the
outgrowth of the attitude and mind
of the people of the Revolutionary
period. The republic did not pro-
cede the pcoplc~tho people estab-
lished and maintain the republic.

Norwulk's form of city govern-
ment is quite similar to the nation-
al government: the districts cor-
responding to the states, and the
union of the districts comprising the
city. The city charter corresponds
with the Conflflltlon. The various
departments are, in a sense. quite
similar; and likewise the district.
serve as checks and balance
Speaking of checks and bnlnllce..
we have not gone quite so for us the
federal government, but on the
whole the checks and balance
principle or features are here. but
it is a little diillcult at times to
bring them into play.

The founders of our government
built hotter than they know. and
I am in turn compelled to pay a
like tribute to those who drafted
the Charter of Norwalk. Like the
Constitution. when adopted. it was
not perfect. At that time it was the
best that could be secured and
agreed upon. The attempt to abol-
ish slavery by constitutional author-
ity failed at the time of drafting
the Constitution. but it who amend-
od. Likewise our Charter needs
some amending.

Now. I think the real purpose
and end sought in Choc-tor Revision
is to abolish the districts and con-
tralize government. It is as revo-
lutionary-rand identical in principle
—-as if we were to suggest abolishi
ing the states of the Union. and the
districts and sub-divisions within
the Stntes.

It has been soil; that Norwalk
stands alone. I agree. but msintain
that so for as form or structure of
municipal government is concerned
we are at the front or leading the
procession. rather than- tagging
along at the rear as some would
havo us believe. Let mo remind you
that for many years the United

 

‘ States of America stood alone—and
'i in many respects is still alone.

We
know too. that the greatest choracfi
tor in history stood alone. Let us
no proud of the fact. If we are
right. then stand on the principle or
principles. regardless of the whims
of those who are carried about by
every will-o‘-the-wisp breeze that
comes along.

Norwalk. in her high placebos
company—o. n d high-toned a n d
otherwise prominent company at
that. Chicago: has many rowan.
trlcts. and other districts. as well as
a. few self-governing. though in a
limited way. districts within that

progressive city. Which styles are
no to follow?
t‘ity government is the most im-
perfect of all forms of government.
There are many reasons for this.
but in thil "Items I shall cite only

those reasons which are applicable

‘hcro at this tiny.

First and foremost. an equal rate
of tu‘tion throuhout the enuro1
city. without regard to benefits. or
the needs or desires of those stfect.
ed. This can hardly be said to be
true hero in Norwalk at this time.
but the proposal of the Charter Ro-
xision colnnlittoo ll the first I“) in
this direction—in fact they s17 this
is their end, vim. Oventunliy to com
solidato all the districts.

The second rcuofr'ls the great
cost of city government.

The third'is the apportionment or
end to which funds are used. This
is a question of,.tho ages and has
baffled the genius of man. The point
I wish to make is that if education
is the way out of .tbe 'many prob-
lems which coutront the individual
and society. and which the individu-
al and society must meet and solve.
then education is one of the highest
and most essential lflull‘ of govern-
men!

la n. following letter I shall dis-
cuss this proposal further. and with
particular reference to the public
utilities; the probable gain as well
as the probable loss in the conver.
sion of ownership and management
from the districts to the city.

The big question or “if" in the
whole proposition is, "what will the
0in do with the South Norwnlk
cicctric plant?"
