FIRST MEETING on THE NEW
COURT, OF BURGESSEH.
. The first meeting of the new Court
ofi‘Burgesses was held last evening,
with Warden Keeler andeve‘ry member
explaining that according to law he was
‘f-not in it,” at the unanimoiis request
of the Warden and his henchmen, con—
sdnted to act as Clerk until-his successor
'shouldbe elected, and 'on’the meeting
biting called to order, read the minutes
mfg-the last meeting cf "the old Board.
There was a‘ goodly crowd in the lobby,
’SOme of whom, perhapsjexpected an"
unusually lively meeting, but if they.
I did, they were sadly disappointed, for
.with little if any exception, the meeting
was a harmonious one; and-all matters
dirought before the Board were quietly,
.§§peditiously and harmoniously acted

.Wa-rden Keeler presented the follow-
:ing message: ', _ . ' _ .f‘i:
To the Honorable Court .of-Burgesses,
Gentlemen :—You have been selected
by the votersof the Borough to look
after its interests and to manage its afi
fairs for the ensuing year. p I trust that
you enter upon your duties with but
one ubi'ect and end in view—to do your
. duty—— coking only to the, general good
"If you start in with
the idea that you are going to please
- every one, you will in- the end not even
please yourselves. Do what you think
[is iaffht, let it please whom it‘ may.
' , I hope that you have made no pledges
that will interfere with your acting in
,all matters according as your best jud -.
merit-may dictate. ' If ”abuses in tEe
management of the afl'airs of our Bo-
rough have from tune to time crept in,
the should be corrected, and there is
no otter timethan the present to begin
to correct them. . '
It'is' said that the expenses of the B0-
rough are too large, and that money is
wasted on our roads and elsewhere. If
this is so, it is your business to see that-
it is stopped. I believe that a liberal.
expenditure of public money is neces-
sary to the success and' rowth of any
place, but what, I thi , our’ people
want, is to know that for every dollar
spent there is an equivalent return. .
I am in full sympathy with the good
work commenced in improving our
roads, widening and straightenin our
streets whenever practicable, an the
beatifying and improving of our Parks,
and I hope that this work will continue,
So far as we can pay it when completed.
Let us do what we do on our roads in
such a. manner as shall be lasting. and
scan be paid for in each year. That is to
say, I do not believe, in any depart-
ment, that there should be one dollar
of expense incurred in any one year
over and above the amount of [the in-
come for that year, and that we should
also make provision to carry at‘ least
$5,000 in each and every year to the
Sinking Fund, for there is no better
time to commence ‘to pay our debts
than now ;- for if at least that amount is
carried each year to the Sinking Fund,
it will be surprising how fast our debt
will be reduced, for you are not only
paying on the principal, but making a
saving each year on our interest ac-
count. Bight here would say that,
our plan of raising money is wron -end
foremost. The rate of tax is fixe and
the amount to be raised determined
upon before we know what amount is
necessary. The amount should first be
ascertained, and then we could tell who-
ather you required an 8, NM 12 mill tax
to meet all, necessary expenses, and
have a sufficient reserve to carry to the
Sinking Fund. ' ' '
I-believe that there is another matter
that can and should be chan ed for the
benefit of the Borough. e are now
supporting ‘two offices and two clerks,
one for the Bnrgésses and One for the
Water Commissioners. With these con-
solidated, would‘we notget better. ser-
vice at less expense? It looks to me
that it ought to be in the poWer of the
Court of Burgesses to appoint a General
“4
- Superintendent of the Borough, whose
duty it shall be to look after the whole
affairs of the Borough, said Superinten-
dent to be under the control of the
Warden and Chairman of each of the
different Departments. Would not our
work be done better'and more economi-
cally ? It cannot be expected that the
members of ' any committee can give
their time tolopk after. all the varied
interests that arise every day,.but they
could direct a Superintendent and let
him report to them and they to the
whole Court, if necesSary.‘ ‘
sidewalks, many of which are in a ver
bad condition and could be fixed wit
very little expense to each property
owner, 1f only ordered so to do by the
Court of Burgesscs. ~
We want good roads and good. side-
walks, for they are tw'o of the essential
things for advancing the prosperity, of
an place. ’ .
presume, however, that all of these
good things we shall have, and that all
errors'wfll be corrected under ,our new
city charter, and that we shall soon be
of the board present. The Clerk, after .
‘upOn, each and every matter receiving
I would also call attention to our
united with our brethren of the South,
East end West in one grand and glori-
ous City of Norwalk. ‘ May that conso-
lidation soon come, so that our united
efi'orts can and will be put forth for the
common good of all, and in making the
City of Norwalk one of the ‘foremost
cities in the State, which, from our na-
tural location and surroundidgs, can be
done. But, until the city charter does
come, we must act to ether in the line
of our duties, which hope we shall do
With perfect harmony, for the advance-~
ment and prosperity of our Berongh. ,
The committees appointed by his
Honor, the Warden, are:—
.Finance:—T. S. Vanderhoef, H. M.

The vote fer sewer inspector en the

tied by the Warden casting a vote for

Two ballots were cast for a choice of
first member of the board of assessors,
Chas. Olmstead receiving 2; A. H.

ing on the informal ballot 4 and But-
tery 2. The formal ballot resulting the
same, Burgess O’Beilly moved to re-
consider, asking the reconsideration as
a courtesy to himself as chairman of

the next meeting of the court was lost
by a vote of 4. to 2, alike vote follow-
