tinel Office. as.
After more than a year of waiting
for something to be dons about
tunnels at the East avenue railroad
bridge to house sidewalks on both
sides of the street a. number of East
Norwalk’s prominent people are be-
coming restivo once more. The fail-
ure of the common council and
the walks would be laid out in line
with the others on «the avenue in-
upon the street pavement. has been
the subject of considerable comment
that now is ready to become an or-
ganized protest.
Tim East Norwalk Improvement
association is reported as having dis-
cussed the situation in a recent
i
go; the New York, New Haven and

llll‘t‘llllg and has adopted an attitude
of watchful waiting for the present.
’i inn: is some doubt as to the course
mrtiord railroad in laying out side-
thbcrs of the associatlbn and
llcni'by rcsidents are waiting to see
it the railroad will connect the walks
on that side with a raised one like
that the west, built by the city,
aroundlihe bridge abutment.
it is being recalled that when the
public service committee of the Im-
provement association. headed by
Mrs. George E. ingham. went before
the Council a year ago it was prom-
ised that the walk under the bridge
on the west side was merely tempor-
ary and a tunnel would be started
by spring. The agitation was
drOppcd after Mayor Thomas Robins
emphatically added his assurances to
those of the council. There were
stirrings. however. when the walk
was afterward repaired in concrete
and provided with a. steel rail.
T‘Concrete and steel do not sound
like temporary materials to me." a
member of the association told the
Sentinel.
Another bone upon which several
people are choking is the promise
of Street Commissioner Joseph Do-
man to see that something was done
about improving the station ep-
proachoe at the same point. His
ability to make good on these de-
pnnds upon whether the property on
which the approach roads are laid
out belongs to the city. railroad
company or private parties? That
to the cast bound station may be a
city street or, may belong. to the
Sll'eb Fur company. which hastits
plant there. A search of records to
"by association members but dropped
when the promises were made. be-
cause tedious investigation of details ‘~
' seemed then unnecessary.
(in tomorrow's Sentinel, Council-
man Hamilton has an interesting
viewpoint on this subject.)
There are still Christmas trees on
39.10 in East Norwalk. Dealers ox-
press their surety that these few
will be gone before Christmas and
a real shortage will occur. Merchants
in the rest-oi the city and whole-
salers supplying both are said to be
paying unheard of prices in the rush,
to fill the shortage. .

If' such purses and methods of
education do carry with them the
deficiencies of lack of system and
great familiarity with technicality,
there is present the decided merit oi
cultivating a retentive memory and
individual thinking. and if John J.
Walsh was anything. he was a
thinker. Blessed with a strong mind
and intellect. which responded will-

fountains of wisdom. that mind and
intellect remained robust and active
