solved. It was a genuine rooster who

For the Danni Gazer-re. ‘
EAST NOBWALX TO THE FRONT.

A Boom in Prospect.

Having" seen a copy of the EVENING
Guerra: and liking it I have determined
to say a word or two for our rapidly growing
section of the town. which— seems, (except
for notices of church fairs, etc.) to have
been given the go-by. Now I don’t pretend
to say that all of the reports heresbouta are
strictly correct, but th at they probably are
substantially so. The booming reports of
most consequence, which have so excited
our people, as far as I now remember them,
are as follows :— '

First. that on the completion of the four
tracks on the railroad, East Norwalk will be.
the only stopping place in. Norwalk for the
Consolidated’s Express trains, and their
present depot at South Norwalk will be
used only for way trains and freight for the
town, owing to the elevated notions of the
people onthe other side of the harbor.

Second, that a new and commodious hotel
will be erected down here of 100 rooms ; that
the new , tramway from New Canaan
will be built in the spring, passing through
the borough down East avenue to the mill
pond, over. which it will pass diagonally to
the new avenue, and thence across the
narrow creek to Deilon’s Point. Whether
a branch to South Norwalk will be con"-
structed is not yet determined, though it
probably will be, to accommodate people
there who wish to take the express trains
from our big depot here. '

Next. that the Westport and Saugatuck
horse railway will connect at Dorlon’s' with
our street cars, and two new churches are
to be built, one Episcopal and the other
Congregational. ' .

Nett, that a new and fast steamboat that
will make the trip to and from New York
in less than two hours will be run to Dorlon
Point 80 that their passengers can take the
tramway to Westport, New Canaan and all
nearby points. -

Next, that East Norwaik will go it alone
for the present and finally ask for an inde-
pendent city‘ charter of its own ; all these
and many other “booms” of which more
hereafter-5‘ ' Ronnn'r Booarna.
