Of Charter Committee Is Climax To Official Incompetency Pointing Out Seven Distinct Raids On Public Funds By Public Oficials, and Other Evidences of In- efficient and Unbusiness-llke Methods of City Government, William McMahon Wants ‘fiig He- Man” to Revise Charter At Any Price. By WILLIAM H. M'MAHON With the editOr’a kind permission I would like to say,a few'words to the people of our "Consolidated City" (2) through your valuable pa- per in the way of rcminis'enco about various matters. Number One. ' Now one upon a time. long long ago one of our selectmen (for shprt we will call him Mr. John Doe.) who had charge of the town funds. took it unto himself to spend some of the town money for his own private use.—-how much I don't know. but the mayor and council 1 think could make a pretty fair guess after they spent 830.000 auditing the books: the same amount which their spending to audit the tax books. Oh boy! But on account of his advanc- ed years this Mr.‘John Doc was never prosecuted and the taxpayers made good. Number Two Then again the treasurer of the old city of douth Norwalk, another Mr. John Doe No. 3.. took it into his head to help himself to some more "dough." somewhere in the neighborhood of 830.000 and again the taxpayers made good. Number Three And, yet again another Mr. John Do. No. 8. who had charge of the first money. took it into his head to himself to some more "dough."--just how much‘ I cannot lair Indgdsubt very much its”; eye else knows. but i think the mayor and council could make .- tty fair 'guees. after they spent $0.000. the same amount which they are new spending to audit the tax books. Ooh-h boy: Once more the taxpayers made good. . And. still again another John Doc. No. 4. the treasurer of the second district. took it into his head. to help himself to some more "dough." You in this case the bond company paid back a small amount and the tax payers. paid the balance. , Number b-d. And 'once morertwo other Mr. John Does No. 5 and No. 6. took it into their heads and helped them- ulves to 881,000.00 more “dough." but it was said at the district meet- ing that they were going to make good and they turned the cemmls- sioners of the second district into automobile salesmen and real estate “rsaitors” and the commissioners now have two house and lots for sale. They took one away from a wi- dow who had a 83,200.00 mortgages on it and the other from a father and mother somewhat past the mid- 'dle age of life.'with a mortgage of 88,000.00 on their property. To say the least it is a rather unfortunate state of affairs and in my opinion it would not be a bad idea for the tax payers to come forward again and m‘ake‘good. _ ' Number 7. , And finally along comes Mr. John Doc No. 7. Well we can't say much about him because the council has spent 320.000 already and they have only a partial report and they are now calling for 810.000 more to make a final report. OOOH-H-H BOY! l was .llvlng in hopes that the Charter Revision committees which was appointed by the Mayor to re- vise the Charter. would find some way to amend the charter that might relieve the tax payers of such burdens as are mentioned above. but it seems that the committee is fallin down and there does not seem o be any relief in sight. I though that the Bovlpion com- mittee might find some 'lady-llks" way to put the school expenditures back where they were originally. so that ’the board of estimate might look them over the same as they do the other departments of the city. namely: the street department. the fire departmen a t budgets. age. in the ly udget some- thinsvsr a million'doilers‘and the - M unit up about half of that amount and a large share of the ”or “Sm “M Monaural each as h (on the old town (Continued on page Two.) . —-Gfrl‘l FOR CHRIST“. -l.auder‘s Jewelry store is gay with gias for Christmas.

But piles refused. even after her assailant left the scene. Neighbors whistled. begged. and offered food but kitty stuck to her perch on the tree limb. This morning. after three days and nights in the tree. she was still there and a woman resident who did not give her name called the Norwalk fire department to the rescue. The department hook and lad- der truck was driven quietly through the side streets. so as to attract little attention or alarm. A ladder was rigged into the tree and kitty brotflht down. She did no hesitating when her foot struck the ground but headed across the flel like a “streak of greased llgh ,lng" for’ home. expecting a long delayed dinner. Mental Strength Needed To Guide .-“There rgreat danger in sip tainiug phys cal power if it. is not di- rected by spiritual and mental guid- ance."

Splitting the local tax system inolu This step was decided last Collector Paul ‘Prucnt Tax Collector Lawrence Paul was present and it was following his talk that the board voted on the above slop. hlr. Paul said there were a great man ytiilngs to be improved in the local system. in addition to the advantages of more frequent pay- ment. lie stated that Nora-elk with its six taxing districts would find the chlingc very difficult at the pros. out time. The other cities which have put the two or three payment plan in operation have had only one or two districts to deal with. Mr. Paul said that along with the change in payment there would be other very important phases of Norwulk's complicated tax system to be consid- ered. Mr. Paul‘s thoughts impress- ed the board members and they vot- ed that a committee of three mem- bers be appointed to weigh the mat- ter seriously. in conjunction with the city oillcials. ' Frank C.
