Norwalk is making rapid progress
according to the biennial census of
manufacturers prepared under the
direction of the department of

The value of pieducts turned out
in local plants shows nn'inereuse of
$8,650.356 between the years of
1923 and 1925. This is an increase
of 31 percent. In 1923 the value of
the products was $28,169,612 and in
1925 it was $36,810,027.
The wages in 19:33 amounted to
$6,365,601 and $7,402,127 in 1925.
This is an increase of $1,036,626 or
16 percent. The number of wage
earners in Norwalk in 1023 was
The report follows:
5.626 and 6.326 in 1925, an increase

Yesterday's Testimony.
Mayor ltobins was called to the
stand by the state and during cross-
examiiiutiun by Judge John Keogh,
defense counsel. was asked to ex-
plain his motive in having private
investigators get evidence against‘
liquor sellers in Norwalk. .
“I went over the heads of the
Norwalk police," the mayor statcd.‘ .
“because in the first place they were
unable to get evidence against dry
law violators and in the second place
if they did get any. they did not
know how to keep it.”
Mayor Robins" answer came to
the question propoimded by Judge
Keogh after .Judge Baldwin had
ruled out a. similar one. Judgej
Keogh had asked the mayor why ho‘
placed the investigation in the
hands of private individuals and did
not leave the apprehension of liquor
violators to the state or local police
or to the federal prohibition agents.
Mayor Paid
The mayor stated that he had
paid for the purchase of evidence
out of his own pocket. This con-
tradicted the testimony on Wednes-
day of Harold Mother, 25, of Nor-
