Call a Town Meeting.

From the report of the proceedings
of the hastily called meeting of the
Board of School Visitors held Satur-
day evening, published elsewhere in
to-day’s GAZETTE, and the reported
exhaustion of the $5,000 appropriated
for the maintenance of evening schools
for one hundred days, the tax-payers
of Norwalk should, without delay, de-
mand that a town meeting be held, in
order that they may learn where and
to whom this money has gone. In ad-
dition to this they should be given a
chance to ascertain why and by whom
their order to the Selectmen not to pay
teachers unless approved by the School
Visitors is disregarded. They should
also know who paid B. W. Maples $500
out of this appropriation, and by whose
authority it was done.

If the statements made at this meet-
ing of the School Board be true—and
there is no doubt of their correctness
——it is due to the Selectmen themselves
that, instead of. a star-chamber agree-
ment to pay the further expenses of the
evening schools, they call a town meet-
ing and explain their expenditure of
$2,397.97 in seven days, as well as the
unlawful payment of money to Mr.
Maples.

By all means, gentlemen, clear your
skirts of this new scandal, and do it
in such a manner that the lowest as
well as highest tax—payer will under-
stand where every dollar has gone.

Six Weeks of Delfate.

It is intimated that the debate upon
the Wilson tariff bill. when it finally
comes up in the Senate, will continue
for about six weeks. It is to be re-
gretted on many accounts that the bi]
could not be put in proper shape and
disposed of in less time, but Senators
are entitled to be heard on a measure
of such commanding importance, and
there is little or no danger that attempts
will be made to prolong the discussion
for more purposes of delay.

Six weeks is a good while in a case of
life and death, but as the country has

survived nearer twelve than six months

 

 

 

 

 

of anxious uncertainty in regard to
revenue and financial legislation, it
will probably manage to survive a
month or two longer.

The general features of the bill are
pretty well understood, but in some
important respects the final outcome
remains in doubt, and not until this
doubt is relieved, one way or the other,
is business likely to get fairly on its
feet again and begin to shape itself to
\thc new conditions that await it in the
early summer.

It is not probable that the bill will
meet the expectations of all reformers,
or of all'sections, or all interests. No
tariff bill of that high standard of per-
fection has ever been enactedr The
best that can be hoped of it is that it
will make ample provision for the rev-
enues of the government, and in so
doin' incidentally care for industries
that are entitled to reasonable pro-

tection .

If it were still possible to eliminate
from it the income tax provisions, we
are well assured, says the Washington
Post, that the welfare of the country
were better served. -The determin-
ation to retain this odious feature is
apparently insuperable, however, and
the people will have to settle with Con-
gress for the results. All,past experi-
ence shows, all considerations of sound
policy combine to indicate, that this
legislation, unjust, discriminating, and
inquisitorial as it is, can never become
popular or effectively answer its in?
tended purpose. ’

PROPRIIIIION MADE
BY THE TOWN
' EXPENDED.

HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR HIS
SERVICES, AND IHE SE-
LEGTMEN PAID HIM.

Not a Theory, But a Fast Con-
fronts the Taxpayers.

AN ITEMIZED ACCOUNT PROM-
lSED BUT NOT RECEIVED.

The Town Must Pay $1000 More to
Get $900 From the State.

 

The inevitable has at last happened
and the tax payers of Norwalk will now
have an opportunity to look into the
expenditures for evening schools and
ascertain if they can where, when and
how their money has been spent and
into what capacious maw nearly $2,500
of their :55, 000 appropriation has fallen.

At a town meeting held on Thursday,
December 28, 1893, $5,000 was appro-
priated to defray the necessary expense
of establishing and maintaining even-
ing schools, and the Selectmen were
authorized and directed to borrow on
the credit of the town, any sum or
sums necessary to defray the expense
of said schools, not to exceed that
amount. At this meeting the threat-
ened war between the Selectmen and
Board of School Visitors was obviated
and the schools were placed in charge‘
of the school board, and on January 2,
the evening schools, which had been
closed on account of an injunction
placed upon the Selectmen by J. Don-
ovan, Jr., were Opened, and have been
running ever since. .

Last week members of the Board of
School Visitors were astonished at re-
ceiving notice that but $484.43 of the
$5,000 appropriated remained and un-
less steps were at once taken to provide
more funds the schools could not run
after this week. 2

A hurried meeting of the Board of
School Visitors was held at South Nor-
walk Saturday night, at which time
facts and figures were given that nearly
upset several members of the board,
while others who had suspected some-
thing of the sort looked on and won-
dered.

At this meeting a. report was made
that the Selectmen during the seven
days that they had had charge of the
schools had expended $2,397.97. When
this fact was made known to the board
several of the members doubted its
correctness, but it was stated that the
Selectmen had furnished 'these figures
and there could be no doubt about it.
When inquiry was made if an itemized
account had been furnished the board
were informed that the clerk of the
Board of Selectmen had promised to
furnish an itemized account that day,
but that very shortly after making
the promise he had taken the train for
New York to spend Sunday, conse-
quently it was not obtained. It was
also stated that this amount expended
by the Selectmen did not cover all of
the expense incurred by them as several
bills contracted by their order or
through their agent, had been paid by
the School Visitors.

Nor was this all of the surprises in
store for the board. A report was
made that notwithstanding the fact
that at the town meeting above rc~
ferred to, it was voted that “nothing
should be paid for the services of any
teacher not approved by the board
of school visitors,” the Selectmen had
paid B. W. ll aples $500 for his services
as principal without the knowledge or
consent of the School Visitors and in
direct opposition to the vote of the tax
payers of the town, and without Mr.
Maples ever having had had a certifi-
cate from the board as the law directs.
It was further stated by one of the
members that he had inquired of the
clerk of the board of Selectmen why
this money had been paid to Maples
and the only reason he could obtain
was because Maples had demanded it
and it had been paid. Prior to this
Mr. Maples had been to J. H. Light’s
office for the purpose of smoothing
over the difficulty and getting a certifi-
cate, so that he could be paid, and had
then and there been refused, but it
seems that this had played no part with
the Selectmen, for they had paid the
money over without a protest.

Following is the order for $500,which
was given to Mr. Maples by the Select-
men for his services as principal of the
evening schools. From the fact that
all three of the Selectmen signed this
order it would appear that it was under-
stood between them that Mr. Maples
was to be paid, the vote of the tax pay-
ers of the town to the contrary not-
withstanding. It is understood that
Mr. Baker knew all about this pay.
ment, but that Mr. Raymond stated to
a member of the Board of School Visi-
tors that he knew nothing about the
payments made for the expenses of the
evening schools.

When seen this morning Mr. Ray-
mond and Mr. Baker both stated that
they knew about the payment of money

to Mr. Maples, but neither of the gen-
tlemen seemed to recognize the fact
that the vote passed at the town meet-
ing was intended to prevent just such a
payment. When questioned as to the
three names of the Selectmen being on
the order given to Mr. Maples, which
is an unusual thing, Mr. Raymond said
that the orders were signed in blank by
the other two and that Mr. Baker in a
whisper asked him to sign this order
with his associates and he did so.

It is stated upon good authority that
shortly after the town meeting was
held in December last, the attorney
for the town told Mr. Maples in the
presence of the Selectmen that the res-
olution containing the clause that no
money should “be paid for the services '
of any teacher not approved by the
board of School Visitors,” was intend-
ed and prohibited the payment of
money to him, which statement should
have been sufficient to have prevented
the Selectmen from paying Mr. Maples
without the consent of the board of
School Visitors.

To prevent the closing of the even-
ing schools before running one hun-
dred nights and thus jepardize the
money which the town will be entitled
to, the board at their meeting Satur-
day night, appointed gEomrnittce con-
sisting of Messrs. Adams, Blanchard,
Mead and Keith to meet the Selectmen
at 4 o’clock this afternoon ‘to investi-
gate the expenses and to endeavor to
get them to pay the necessary bills
of the schools until a hundred nights
sessions have been held. If this can;
not be done a town meeting will have
to be held in order to appropriate at
least $1,000 more. In either case the
tax payers will now be required to pay
out 31,000 to obtain $900 from the state,
as the average number of pupils in
attendance at the schools will not ex-
ceed three hundred.

How the Selectmen could have ex-
pended 32,397.97 in seven days it is im-
possible to conceive, as there were but
the Center, Over River, East Norwalk
and Winnipauk schools in operation,
the'latter school being open but four
nights. The School Visitors have been
running the schools ever since January
2, and besides paying several old bills
not contracted by them, they" have
spent but a trifle over $2,000.

The Mutual Life.

The Mutual Life‘Insurance company
of New York celebrated the fiftieth
year of its existence in 1893, and the
event will be memorable as being one
of the most successful in a business
point of view that the company has ever
experienced. ,

The report for 1893 demonstrates the
increasing popularity of The Mutual
Life and the extension of the benefits
conferred upon those fortunate enough
to hold its policies. The assets now
amount in the aggregate to $186,707,-
680.14, and the liabilities to $168,755,-
071.23. The surplus fund for the pay-
ment of dividends and to insure the
policy-holder against every possible fu-
ture emergency amounts to 317,952,-
608.91, and is a sum which. if added - to
the enormous amount paid out in divi-
dends to policy holders in past years
would largely exceed the surplus accu-
mulations of any similar institution in
the world.

During 1893 the policy-holders in The
Mutual Life Ineurance company re-
ceived 820.885.472.40, against $19,386.-
532.46 in 1892, The Mutual Life has

' new policies in force insuring $803,284,-

738.46. ,
In this report only policies issued and
paid for are included.

. Last fall during the Danbury fair the
police of. that city ordered several black -
legs hanging about the fair to leave
town. They came to South'Norwalk
on the noon train and procured dinner
at F. A. Lane’s restaurant in the depot.
During their stay One of the number-
flim-flammed Mr. Lane out of $10, but
he recovered the money before the
thief could escape. On Saturday he re-
ceived another visit from a young man
whom he recognized as one of his cus-
tomers last fall., This time another
game was played-but like the former “it
was misoarried.‘ When the 2:25 train
arrived from the east Saturday after-
noon, a smooth faced well dressed young
man alighted at the depot and entered
the reslaurant and ate his lunch. Later
in the evening he returned and ate a
sandwich and had another placed in a
paper bag. ’lhe restaurant was well
filled at the time and Mr. Lane and his
assistant, William Taylor. were busy
waiting upon customers, and. although
the young man stood near an open desk
in which Mr.Lane kept three tin money
boxes, they did not apprehend any
trouble. Suddenly‘Mr. Lane glanced
towards the desk and was surprised to
find that the young man and the three
tin boxes had disappeared.

Hastily calling to Taylor, Mr. Lane
came out from behind the lunch counter
and ran out of the door. Glancing
across the street ”he? saw a man with an
overcoat on his arm just stepping on
the walk in front of George Schaub’s
restaurant. Running across the street,
Mr. Lane demanded his boxes. The
thief, as it proved to be, made a .dash
towards the depot,’ intending to jump
aboard the 7.15 train for‘fiNew York,
just starting, and far Ithch he had
previously purchased a ticket, but his
plans were frustrated by the appearance
of Taylor, Mr. Lane’s assistant, who
had come out of the restaurant, and
was on the platform. ~ As the thief
came towards the depot Taylor made
for him, but the thief turned and
dashed down the tracks toward Monroe
street, with both Mr. Lane and Taylor
in close pursuit. Finding his pursuers
gaining upon him-,ihe man made a
dive under a freight car, but Taylor
was too quick for him and grabbed
him by the neck. Mr. Lane at the same
time catching" him by one leg. Wher.
he fell he dropped the boxes together
with his overcoat. He was quickly
pulled out from under the-car, and
while Mr. Lane secured his boxes,
which contained 3561,61, Taylor march-
ed him back to the depot, where he
was soon placed under arrest and
locked up. Strange to say, his_over-
coat could not be found, and 1t 18 sur-
mised that he either had a confederate
who secured if, else it was stolen by
some one in the crowd which had con-
gregated. » - ' -

The former theory is beheved to be
the correct one, as 0.» R. -Mumford
noticed three suspicious characters
looking in the ticket office window, and
notified the ticket agent to be on the
lookout, while a lady who came from
New York on the 6 27 train that even-
ing, had her attention attracted by the
strange conduct of a young man who
was peering through the window of the
depot restaurant. _

When brought befOre Justice Bar-
rett this morning the prisoner gave 1118'

dence California. He follows the races

bound over under $500 to appear at the
next term of the Superior Court.

All Shot.

The steam yacht Natalie, which was
purchased in New York and sailed from
Savannah on January 19 with arms and
ammunition to be used by General
Manigat in an attempt to overthrow
President Hippolyte of Hayti, has been
captured by the Haytiaus and taken to
a Haytiau port and her entire crew
shot by an order of President Hippo-
lyte. She was commanded by Antoine
Salini, an enemy of the Haytian re-
public.

l‘he Natalie was built at Gregory’s
Point several years ago by Captain
George S; Bell for the. late Major
George Mallory, of Bridgeport. _She
was a 29 ton steam yacht rigged With a
patent propeller wheel .and was steered
without a rudder. She was entered at
the Bridgeport custom house under the
name of Jeremiah Atwater, a well-
known New York real estate man hav-
ing a summer residence in Greenwrch.
This entry was changed in Baltimore
from Mr. Atwater to Salini, the present
commander.

 

 

 

Changes to be Made.

A change in the assignment of priests
to the various Catholic churches is ex~

shortly. Rev. J. C. O’Brien, it is said,
will be transferred from the Sacred
Heart parish, Bridgeport. to St. Mary’s
parish in New Britain, where he will
be made a permanent pastor. Such a
change is regarded as a promotion and
will be made as a reward for the good
work done by Father O’Brien since his
assignment to his present charge. In
the few years he has been pastor of the
parish he has paid off nearly $50,000 of
the church debt.
