The Gazette has the largest cir-
Cuiatlon of any paper In Norwalk.
and furnishes the’lowest advertisinz
rates.
City-of Norwalk.
In the adjoining column of to-day’s
GAZETTE will be found a full and fair
synopsis of the proposed City Charter,
to be voted for on Saturday next. By
a careful reading and consideration of
its provisions, it must be apparent to
every public-spirited and thinking voter
. that this City Charter is, in nearly every
one of its sections, a great advance and
improvement upon our present Borough
Charter. We regret to learn that cer-
tain parties in the borough and out of
’ it, are already working for its defeat,
even before they, or the people of the
borough, have acquainted themselves
with its many beneficial and desirable
features. It is charged, but we hope
it is not true, that certain So. Norwalk
friends are Openly and zealously advo-
cating its defeat. When So. Norwalk
felt the need ofra local municipal gov-
ernment, the GAZETTE urged its citi-
zens to apply to the Legislature for a
city and not a borough organization,
and did all in its power to promote the
success of the city scheme. ‘Its citizens
were wise enough to secure a city gov-
'_ ernment, and it has proved tube a good
thing for them, and no So. N orwalkers,
of all men, should feel any hostility to
an improved borough re-organization.
Our borOugh limits are toorextended,
our population too large, and our bor-
oughsystem of local government too
inert and unwieldy to longer run pros-
perously or smoothly in the old ruts of
forty years ago. Our commercial and
local importancewill be enhanced at
home and abroad, by the adoption of
the proposed City Charter, and it is to
be hoped that every friend of our whole
town’s best interests, will intelligently
examine the matter, and that all who
' are entitled to a vote in the borough,
will zealously work and vote for its
adoption on Saturday. ,
Hot Weather and Care.
The recent hot wave has made life
very uncomfortable for the most of us.
We are promised relief, however, by
the end of the week. * Not only has the
mercury ranged along in the nineties,
but the'humidity has been‘ almost sti-
fling" at times. '
There is only one way to get along
with a hot wave, and that is to submit
to it philosophically. All worry only
intensifies the heat, and excessive use
of either ice water or other cooling
drinks simply adds to the oppressive-
ness Of the hot spell.
Special care should be exercised in
diet When the heat is unusually severe.
This is the season for early fruits, few
of which are Wholesome at best. They
should be scrupulously avoided by all,
and should be peremptorily forbidden
to children. In a little while there will
be plenty of good fruit in the markets,
and when ripe and fresh it is an, impor-
portant part of summer diet.
Meats should be used sparingly dur-
ing hot weather, and all but hard-work-
ing people would be quite as well with-
out any. Vegetables and berries are
abundant and wholesome when fresh;
but stale vegetables, like unripe or im-
perfect fruit, are the certain cause of
bowel disorders.
All should avoid needless exposure to
the hot sun, and those who must be ex-
posed to it, should protect their heads.
Exposure to the sun is not} in itself as
dangerous as excessive labor and ex-
haustion. What are called sun-strokes
sometime come at night and are caused
by severe physical and nervous pros-
tration. '
What is most needed when the hot
waves come is plenty 'of common sense
and philosophy. Keep cool in temper
and it will greatly help to keep cool in
temperature, and while taking sensible
precautions for yourself, don’t ferget
that domestic animals need s'pecial care
as well as human beings.

wealth. , ,

A Great Improvement on the Bar--

Agreeably to our promise of Satur-
day last, we present to the readers of
the proposed city charter.
ment'is quite a long one,——sixty-six
sections of lawyer’s jargon, but yet a
great improvement on our disjointed
and scattered borough charter.
as a city; section 2 relates to the city
boundaries which are identical with
those of the borough; Section 3 pre-
scribes the requirements necessary to
as the borough voter, except that a
residence of but four months is re-
quired; we reproduce section 4 :
“The annual meeting of said city
shall be held on the first Monday of
October in each year,‘at which time
the electors of said city, by a plurality
Of ballots cast as hereinafter prOVided,
shall elect the several officers herein-
after designated, and said meeting for
the transaction of business other than
the election of said Officers, shall stand
adjourned until seven o’clock and thtrty
minutes in the evening of the .first
Monday of March next followuig, at
such place as the common. council may
appoint, and notice of said adjourned
meeting and of the several appropria-
tions of money recommended to be
made by the common council and of
other business to be transacted there-
at, shall be published on or before
Wednesday of the week next preced-
ing said meeting, in a newspaper pub-
lished in said city,” If.- any there be,
otherwise by posting said notice on the
signpost in said city. ” , -
The essentials of Section 5 are:
“Special meetings of said city may
be called and held in such manner, and
at such times and places as the ordi-
nances of said city shall prescribe, and
the call of such meetings shall specify
the object thereof. . Any such special
meeting may be adjourned from time
to time, and all votes and questions
shall be decided by a majority of the
legal voters present and voting ;‘ but_at
no spemal meeting shall any appropria-
tion exceeding the sum of one thousand
dollars be made, except the yote there-
on be taken by ballot. And in case any
proposition to vote money for any spe-
cific purpose is defeated at any special
meeting, no special meeting to appro-
priate money for the same purpose
shall be called, within one calendar
year of the date when such proposxtion
is defeated except by a two-thirds vote
Of the common council, but this shall
not prevent action being taken by the
next annual meeting upon such propo-
sition.” ,
Sections 6, 7, 8 and9 relate to the
registration of voters and are the pro-
visions of the borough charter repeat-
ed; section 10 provides for the city offi-
cers which are: a mayor, treasurer,
collector, city sheriff, auditor, six coun-
cilmen, members of registration and
inspectors ; all these officers hold office
from the first Monday of January fol-
lowing their election. This section
also provides how the new board of
water commissioners shall decide the
length of their terms etc.; section 11
prescribes the official oath; section 12
provides for vacancies in city offices;
section 13 défines the powers and duties
of the mayor; section 14 provides the
penalty for “monkeying” with the
mayor; section 15 relates to the city
clerk whose duties vary but slightly
from those of the borough clerk; sec-
tion 16 defines the duties of the treas-.
urer ; section 17 relates to the collector
and is the exact language of the bor-
ough charter, mutatis mutandis; sec-
tion 18 covers the duties of the audi-
tor; section 19 relates to the city sher-
ifi' who takesthe place of the borough
bailifi‘ ; section 20 requires certain city
officials to give bonds; section 21 re-
lates to the meetings of the city coun-
cil and the procedure where the mayor
is” impeached; section 22 gives the
council power to make ordinances, and
candor compels us to say, that the fu-
ture councils cannot complain of a lack
of legislative power to enact ordinances
covering every conceivable point. This
section contains nearly 2,000 words;
section 23 relates to the publication of
the city ordinances ; section 24 provides
that neither the mayor or councilmen
shall receive any salary in exeess of $25
per annum; section 25 provides for the
appointive officers who are the same as
under the borough; section 26 consti-
tutes the council 9. board of health, as
the court of burgesses is now ; section
27 is so important and sensible that we
give it in full :
“The common council of the city of
Norwalk shall, on or before Tuesday of
the week next preceding the adjourned
annual meeting to be heldon the first
Monday of March, 1894, and annually
thereafter on the Tuesday next preced-
ing the first Monday of March, make
and prepare a detailed estimate of the
amount of money which, in their judg-
ment, Will be necessary and requisite
to meet and provide for each of the. de-
partments of the city government for
the next ensuing fiscal year ; and shall
cause such estimate to be published in

ed appropriation and the department
for which the same will be required;
and shall, at the next regular meeting
of said council, held after the expira-
tion of said notice, by a twotthirds vote
of all the members of said council,
present and absent, determine to make
such further appropriation. No other
appropriation shall be made except at
a special city meeting called for that
purpose, the call of which shall be pub-
lished in a newspaper published in said
city at least five days before said day of
meeting; and shall specify, approxi-
mately, the amount of and for what
purpose the appropriation is required.
Correct accounts shall be kept by the
treasurer of all receipts and expendi-
tures of the city during each fiscal
year, in proper books of account ar-
ranged in such manner. and under such
heads or branches of expenditure, as
to exhibit accurately and completely
the financial condition of said city and
the several departments thereof; and
said treasurer shall report to the coun-
cil annually, or oftener, if the council
require, the amount expended up to
the time of said report for each of the
departments Of the city government.
It shall be the duty of the treasurer to
certify on each bill before presented to
thecommon council for payment,wheth-
er or not the appropriation for the de-
partment to which such bill is properly
chargeable is sufficient for its payment :
and if such appropriation is not suffi-
cient, such bill shall not be ordered
paid until an appropriation is made for
its payment.” ‘
Section 28 relates to the tax which is
not laid until after the completion of
the list,viz.: the first Monday of March;
section,29 relates to the assessors, and
gives them two months, instead of twen-
ty days, to attend to that important
duty; section 30 defines the duties and
powers of the board of relief; section
31 relates to taxable property, and fol-
lows in the main the language of the
.general statutes; section 32 relates to
deeds and leases of city property ; sec-
tion 33 relates to the police department
and confers the customary powers of
the police regarding arrests, etc.; sec-
tion 34 covers the fire department, and
section 35 the fire police; section 36
relateh to street railways, butwas strick-
en out by the legislature, as the general
law covered that point; section 37 em-
powers committees Of the council to
summon witnesses, etc. ; section 38 pro-
vides for the divisionbf the highway
money between the town and city in
about the same language as the borough
charter; section 39 relates to building
lines; section 40 relates to the care and
ing and discontinuance, etc., of the
same. The reading of this section gave
us‘ “a tired feeling,” but we presume
so many words are necessary to make
the section, legal and effective; section
41 provides for the paving and macad-
amizing of streets; section 42 empowers
the council to compel property owners
to make gas, water and sewer connec-
tions before macadamizing or paving a

section 44 relates to appeals to the su-
perior court from assessment of bene-

section 45 relates to liens for sidewalks,
etc.; section 46 grapples with the side-
walk question in a more thorough and
effective manner than the present bor-
ough charter; section, 47 provides col-
lecting or filing liens for sidewalks
built by the city; section 48 relates to
obstructions placed or allowed to re-
main upon the highways of the city;
section 49 provides for the collection of
benefits due the city; section 50 em-
powers the council to care for existing
parks and purchase new ones, provided
a city meeting authorizes the purchase;
section 51 disposes of the sewer ques-
tion in the customary language; sec-
tion 52‘ relates to the filing of liens
after a decree of court; sections 53 to 63
inclusive, relate to the water commis-
sioners, and are the existing provisions
of the borough charter, except that
Bid'gefield is included in the list of
towns where land can be condemned;
privileges of the borough until the city
gets settled doWn to business; section
65 provides for the first city meeting,
and section 66 is the “submission”
clause.

Arrested in Bridgeport.
Henry_W. Finney of Norwalk, was
arrested in Bridgeport on the charge of
forgery Tuesday. The complaint was
made by a member of the firm of
Marsh, Merwin & Lemmon. Finney
had cashed a $30 check at the bank,
Signed by Maggie Cosier. Shortly af-
ter the Cosier woman went to the bank
to draw the balance of her moneyand
found that the amount was $40 less than
she thought she had.
She said that she had sent Fin ney to
deposit $10 for her a few hours previ-
ous and was surprised to learn that he
had not done so. While she was talk-
ing Finney entered the bank and was
about to deposit the $10 when Maggie
who was intoxicated, spoke up and
said: “That’s right, put it all in.”
Finney turned on his heel and left the
bank. As he did not return the com-
plaint was made and Finney was ar-
rested. .
He denied forging Maggie’s name but
said that he had filled out a blank check
which bore her signiture and drawn
the money. Capt. Birmingham had
Maggie write her name and compared
the signitures. They were identical.
Finney was held, bewever. and the
Cosier woman was. locked up for drunk-
enness.
