alterations were being planned for the city hell to accommodate
the needs of the police department.
this morning that if he had any-
thing to say about the matter th
city was going to have a new muni-
cipal court and police building in
the rear of the city hall. Mayor
Robins said that he was going to
work toward this end while he was
in office
Plans Made In 1014.
Mayor Thomee' Robins statedJ
He stated that plans for such a;
building were drawn up in '19“ but
the project did not go through a‘.
that time. He estimated that such
. a. building according to the plans
.would cost $75,000.
He thought that there was great
need in this city for a. large court
room and up to date police head-
quarters as in other cities the also
of Norwalk throughout the state.
The plan of placing the police de-
partment in the basement of the
city hall did not seem to meet with
the approval of Mayor Robina.
It seems certain that the pro-
posed alterations will come up for
considerable discussion if they are
11 ught before a meeting of the dis-
t.
Police Dislike Basement
Members of the police depart-
ment did not seem pleased with the
idea of removing the police head-
quarters to the basement of the city
Several of them did not think
:thy and that the light was poor.
Detective Sergeant Martin Deng-
yel did not care where the police
headquarters were located as long as
he received a. proper oflice which
would enable him to conduct his du-
‘ ‘ ties properly.
Chief of Police William R. zoo,
nington though that there was used
of new police headquarters with
more room. He didn't offer any ob-
jections to going into the basement 1
of the city hall. .
The police headquarters in Dan-
bury and Stamford are located in
. the basement of the city hall.
‘
It is probable that the matter will
“come up at a special meeting of the
”second district called for the pur-
pose of taking action.

Sunday has been appointed by
the leaders of the churches or
our city as “Go. To Church Sun-
‘ day." The call has been given
publicity through the local press.
I am glad to have been asked
to lend my humblé influence to
ward the success of this worthy
undertaking.
The church of today. it seems
to me. is demanding and receiv.
ing a class of man power such as
it has never experienced. The
idea folks once had of linking
only the pious appearing up to
church membership. l'us long
since been worn down. and 'tls
well, else the writer would hold
a very uncomfortable scat each
Sunddy) morning in the family
pew. '
To those who have caught the
real spirit of the thing. the church
of the Living Christ has broaden-
ed the vision. has'loosened the
purse strings. has added to loyal
friendships. has broken down
prejudices has taught men to
give willing service. and with all
these comes a large degree of
satisfaction to the soul
Personally. I am convinced '
that I one much to the church
and cherish for every. man a part
in the worn of this truly great
institution. ‘Attendance at the
service Sunday is where the in-
spiratlon begins.
there tomorrow and let
i be the beginning of many
hours spent. in the company of
those "Who look to a City that
hath foundations whose Maker

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Norwalk Hospital as-
soclation held at the hospital last
evening. George L. Woodward. pre-
sident of‘the National Bank of Nor-
welk.‘ was appointed a director to
take the place of W. C.' Bear. Ve-
cencice in the executive committee
were filled by the appointment of
John ('1th and Mr. Frederick
Gebhord.
The question of enlargement of
plan; to care for the growirm de-
mandu pen the hospital was again
discumed. It' was the opinion of the
board that a competent hospital ar-
chitect. ouid be obtained to study
the alike :1 and to suggest a build-
ing pien' that we‘d adequately meet
the demands that will probably be
made upon the institution in the fu-
ture. With a logical and consistent
scheme or enlargement worked; t
it will be possible to carry out is
plans by Negro-ire stages as the
needs grow acute and inproportion
to .the ability to the ccmmunitysto
meet the cost. A ebmmittee was ap-
pointed to secure an architect eon-
ieisting of sir. Cavanagh. Chairman.
Hr. Roodner and Mr. Btrayer.
General Russell Frost was named
to draw up suitable resolutions upon
the death of Judge Welsh to be re-
ported st the next meeting of the
board. Judge Walsh was for years
the counsel of the' Not-walk Hospi-
tal association and a friend and
supporter of the hospital through-
out its entire history. '
Present at the meeting last night
were Vice President Cevsnsgh who
presided. Directors Frost. Gobhard.

who are contracting- purllcs to a
marriage. she has always protested
and will protest. against the buying

"Bishop Manning has stressed
very vehemently the claims of the
civil ‘aw as well as of the ecclesias-
tical law from the fact that the mar-
riage took place in the United States
and was performed according to the
rite of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. He overlooks the higher
and the more essential law; namely.
the natural law. the law written into
the very nature of things by God
tilmself. which neither civil nor
ecclesiastical law can change.
Etc Consent am hi
"The natural law makes it oeso-
lubely essential in order. 1' have a
contract of marriage the oth par-
ties to the contract be free agents
and that theyfxercise their freedom
by giving the necessary and funda-
mental consent which is thc very
essence of marriage. The officiat-
ing clergy an in a religious cere-
mony aian only as a witness to the
marriage for the purpozc of public
knowledge and public record.
"If at the moment of the making
of the contract e1ther party is neith-
er free to give. or is prevented from
freely giving this essential consent.
then there is no power in this world
that can possibly supply or later heal
the fundamental and cuentln-l defeCt
in the contract. The only course is
for a renewal of the ceremonl’. or
a full communication to each other
of mutual consent.
Null “Marriage Sanciiiy. "
“The Catholic Church in this par-
ticular stance is simply defending
the lily of marriage in iis \ery
mention when it applies to the
Marlborough marriage what it has
applied from the dawn of Christian-
ity in similar Instances. namely the
principle. "What God has Joined to-
