Main Street Assessment.
Judge Stuart has rendered the followl' ‘
decision in the cost: of Geo. W. Smith ‘nd
wife ea. City of Smith Nurwalk. ’
In this case the court finds first the rum of forty—
flre dollars or“. and is. wrongfully withheld from
the plnlrrtlffs Smith and wife by
the defender“ clty from the amount ‘. of
damages awarded and plaltrtlfi‘o. which by the itc—
ceptance of the report of their committee by the
city council the defendant city become bound to
ptly : and that the sold sum of forty~fivc dollars ab\
withheld by the city was for contemplated improve-
ments above the line of the noses sment upon which
the sum of forty-five dollars remains unpaid.
The court further finds that if the city had a right
to withhold the sum of forty—five dollars from the
amount of damages awarded by the city in cold for-
mer government in consideration of a further con~
templ improvement to other property of the
plaintiffs in virtue of another assessment. that the
improvement contemplated in such new assess-
ment hos not in fact been made. although the city
by means of such deduction have compelled Mr.
Smith and wife to pay therefor ;—thnt no other
property holders upon the line of such contempla—
ted improvement have been compelled to pay. white
in the single instance where payment. was volunta—
rily made in anticipation of such improvement
the rum so paid was refunded by the city.
The court therefore finds the issues in this case
for the plat-tits. end that the plulntifia George W.
Smith and wife recover of the defendant the City of
South Norwalk. the sum of forty five donors. being
the balance of the assessment voted to be pold said

vous NEAR sotrt‘n NORWALK.
Lastxwgoek Selectman Smith was informed
by the residents of Eist Norwalk that they
were greatly annoyed by tramps congregat-
tngin the woods on Hiram Fitch's premises
no the north side of the N. Y. & N. H.
“all" :11. from whence they raided upon the
nrtoin. potato and corn fields of the vicinity.
Mr. Smith immediately took stept to break
up the nest. _
On Monday we accompanied him to the
rendezvous. This input the side of an excu-
vation in the railroad. As we approached
the spot we notiood a well~trodden path up
the sides of the almost perpendicular em-
bankment. This was the entrance from the
vest. Further on we canto to another path
which was made by the tramps coming
from the cost. \Vo climbed up this. and
just over the summit. under a large hickory
trec.we cams abruptly upon the encamp-
ment. Mr. Smith had visited the place on

too that there were at least five thousand
tramps on the road between Boston and
New York. In answer to questions he said:
" We don't become tramps from choice.
Now.auppoao you should broom reduced
in circumstances by getting out of work.—
lf you are a worklugmsn—and you had to
beg. starve. or steal. and you should prefer
begging to either of the others you wouldn‘t
beg where you on known. would you!
Well. that‘s just the way it was with us.
Before we are driven to the road we are
pretty well prepared for a walk. and we
walk out if our native places.—snd as we
go from point to point. if we can not work
we do it. if not we beg. and have stopping
places along the road like this. We get. or
dared on as we have been here. but we can‘t
travel all the time. We must rest. and if
we can‘t in one place we do in another. A
“ tramp“ is ooualdrred by most people or
undeservlng of sympathy. which makes it
hard for him to get work. All sorts of dep-
rcdatlona are being committed throughout
the country that are laid to tramps that the
tramps have nothing to do with. People
smarter than the tramps take advantage of
this condition of ail‘iirs. knowing that if a
barn is burned. a house robbed or chicken
roost raided it will be charged to the tramp.
just as everything broken or destroyed in a
house is laid upon the eat. And then. when
we do get work. we are cheated and abused.
