A bsolutely Independent.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 329, 1895.
The Daily Gazette, established in 1890
The Weekly Gazette in 1800.
Retrenchment Has Begun.
It is quite evident from their actions
that the Selectmen do not wish to have
the town accounts examined by an ex-
pert, and their witholding the notice
for the special meeting from the col-
umns of the GAZETTE and publishing
the same in both papers in South Nor-
walk, Would appear as though they did
not want to have the taxpayers at this
end of the town to know that a meet-
ing was to be held.
It may be that their action in with-
holding the notice from the GAZETTE is
through Spite because the GAZETTE has
dared to support the unanimous, de-
mand for aninvestigation, but it seems
hardly probable that Selectmen Ray-
mond and Thomes would lend them-
selves to such petty business.
We have been informed by a town
official that the action of the Selectmen
was a desire on their part to reduce
expenses. If this statement be true,
it would seem as though they should
have begun their retrenchment earlier
and prevented Selectman Daskam from
taking $100 from the town funds for
making out the annual report, which
is the clerk’s duty, and for performing
the duties Of which he receives $400 per
annum in addition to his pay as Select-
man. Perhaps the proposed investi-
gation has had something to do with
this sudden retrenchme‘nt,
First Principles.
The wi t:r supply problem keeps bob.
bing up with a persistence that should
tell our people that this question should
be settled once for all. TO say that the
fathers of our water works were not
farseeing enough does not cure the
evil, and we of this generation, while
we may not be wiser, have at least had
some experience which should teach us
how to remedy this difficulty. It is the
consensus of engineers and experienced
men that the gravity system wherever
practicable is the best because it is
reliable and least expensive to main-
tain. The first cost of wells and pump-
ing works may be less, but they are
uncertain as. to supply and costly to
maintain. If we are to have an abun-
dant supply we must first have suflicient
piping facilities, and second, ample res-
ervoir capacity. That we can have
these admits of no doubt and any.
makeshifts: or schemes to “tide over”
the present difficulty should be dis.
carded. If, however, the city is wise it
will complete its arrangements for the
proposed reservoir site in New York
state and hold it for any future needs
that may arise, and who is so wise as
to predict that we may not need it
some time? The commissioners, how—
ever, should go back to first principles
and avail themSelves of the superb ad-
vantages of the so called “Daniels’
site” which is, and always has been,
conceded to be Of'thc best. This site
is in Connecticut and can be protected
by Connecticut laws, and a reservoir
constructed at that point could be con-
nected with existing piping giving us a
direct supply with sufficient pressure to
supply the highest point in the city.
The value and availibility of this site
has always been admitted and had it
been utilized our water famines would
never have occurred and the thousands
of dollars spent in “doctoring” would
have been saved. When this site is
utilized we shall get back to first prin-
ciples and will have a supply that Will
be ample and reliable. Will our citi-
zens get back to first principles, or Will
they continue to “doctor” as Of yore ?
We shall see whether wisdom is justi-
fied of ler children.
An Example.
To givctax-payers some idea of the
loose methods employed by the Select-
men and the absolute inability of any-
one to ascertain who receives, or what
becomes of the town’s money, we pub-
lish the following example:
In the annual report of the Select-
men for the year 1803, the following
sums are charged to the Holmes, Keel
er & Selleck Company.
No. Amount.
58 ..................................... $46.80
Total, $7,222 45
Here is the enormous sum Of 31,222.
45, charged to the Holmes, Keeler&
Selleck company during the year 1893,
yet we are informed that this company
never received an order for one dol-
lars worth of goods from the Select-
men. Further than this, we are in-
formed that the Selectmen cannot tell
what these orders are for, or who re-
ceived one cent of this $1,222 45 worth
of orders. ‘
With such anmples as .this below
them is it any wonder that the tax-pay.
ers of Norwalk desire an investigation?"
If this statement is not correct, the
GAZETTE offers its columns to the
Selectmen to disapprove it by publish-
ing a list of the names ofthOse who
received the whole or any part of this
Lam. ‘

llow Ready at Deputy Collector
‘ Sloan’s Office.
Five Hundred Subject to, its Pro-
visions in Falrfield County.
Deputy Collector E. N. Sloan has
received the income tax blanks on
which annual returns must be made.
If your income is less than $3,500 a
year it is unnecessary to secure a
blank, but if you are making more
than that amount call at Mr. Sloan’s
in the government building and get
one. Then set aside a half a day for
answering the questions. A searching
inquiry is made into one’s business.
There are two kinds of blanks. One
is for individuals and the other for cor-
porations. Collector Sloan desires that
these blanks be called for immediately
as returns must be made by March_4.
The collector will gladly give all in-
formation desired.
It a man has a considerable block of
real estate, for instance, he will be al.
lowed to deduct the town and city
taxes, and the balance, if over $4,000,
will be taxed two per cent. on every
dollar in excess. The landlord might
be receiving $56,000 over these deduct-
ions and might think to put $2,100 of it
into repairs on his buildings. The
government would not allow this de-
duction for repairs, claiming that the
repairs were necessary for the contin-
uance of the man’s business. 3
The reason why all persons havmg an
income of 353,500 are compelled to file a
return is, to enable the collectors to
examine it and see if the returner has
omitted receipts that, in their judg-
ment, would put him within the pale of
the law by bringing his income up to
$4,000. 1
If the commissioner deems the oath
of return to be false, the citizen can be
prosecuted by the administration for
perjury ; but this cannot be if he makes
no return, and makes no answer to
questions.
If the citizen either does not make a
return or makes one which, in the view
of the collector or deputy collector is
understated, the latter can make one
for him, and then must add a penalty
of 50 per cent to the tax; but if he
thinks the return was wilfully false or
fradulent, he must add 100 per cent as
a penalty.
In case of no return, only 50 per cent
penalty can be inflicted by the commis-
sioner.
In every case where any person is
aggrieved by any decision as a deputy
collector, there can be an appeal to the
collector, but the law says that his de-
‘cision thereon, unless reversed by the
commissioner, “shall” be final. This
seems to prevent any appeal to the
courts even after the money has been
paid.
If a person has received a bequest or
legacy during the past year it will come
under the law, providing the gift
amounted to $4,000 or over.
Collect )l' Sloan says that between
400 and 500 persons and corporations
will be subjected to the tax in Fairfield
county. ‘
Mr. Sloan says he does not see how he
has more than he can do now. He wil-
have to have an assistant in order to
collect the tax and will make applica.

Talking Through His Hat.
A Norwalk man named Wilson came
to Stamford Saturday afternoon to
make a match with Some Stamford
skater and his “unknown.” whOm he
had neglected to bring with him. He
preferred a match with either Ennis or
Raymond, the distance to be fifty miles,
for a $100 wager. The man did a great
deal of talking, and when referrel to
the proper parties to bind a match he
showed no desire to see them. This is
the second time Wilson has come to
Stamford on the same errand, and he
is now looked upon. as as a .bluff'ern—
Advocate.

After Ridgefleld Again.
Burglars made another attempt to
break into the station of the Consoli-
dated road at Ridgefield, Monday. A
Window in the ticket office was broken
by the burglar, but before they got in-
to the building some of the neighbors
heard the homes and frightened them
away. This is the second attempt by
burglars to burglarize the station with-
in two weeks. Station Agent Glenn
believes that the burglars belong to a-
local gang.

' New Store.
W. A. Benedict & Co., of South Nor-
walk, have leased the Moody store on
Main street ’and will on or about March
lst, open a branch of their South Nor~
walk store at this end of the town. It
is the intention of the firm to make a
specialty of children’s clothing which
is a long felt want in upper Norwalk.
That the new store, under “Billy”
Benedict’s management. will prove a
success is an assured fact.

A Great Opportunity.
In another column will be found the
announcement of Jones &, Hotchkiss,
who recently bought out E. K. Lock-
wood. The new firm advertise that be.
ginning on February first they will sell
for sixty days, thousands of dollars
worth of housekeeping articles, lamps,
crockery, etc., at cost, to make room
for. their heating and plumbing goods.
This sale will be a chance of a lifetime
and Will be taken advantage of by the
Wise.

And .Enjoy a Supper .0f Canned
Goods.
After a long rest burglars made their
appearance in South N orwalk, Monday
night, and entered the grocery store of
Charles E. Seymour and the tailoring
establishment‘of William H. Swords on
Washington street. f
_ At Seymour’s the burglars gained an
entrance by prying off the boards over
the basement door. They then pushed
over about s1x thousand pounds of
boxed canned goods and entered.
After gaining an entrance they hung
a piece of an old bag over the opening
in the door through which they entered,
and lighted a candle. They then broke
open a number of cases and secured
» several cans of corned beef, lobster,
salmon, peas, corn, etc., which they
Opened and sat down to a feast. From
the appearance of the candle, which
Was six inches long and had been half
consumed, the thieves must have made
quite a long stay.
After filling themselves with choice
eatables the burglars departed, but
Mr. Seymour is of the opinion that
they took nothing away with them as
none of the gOOds are missing.
At W. H. Swords’ they gained admis-
sion through a basement window which
was left unlocked. They then scaled
the window into the workroom of VV.P.
Smallhorn, who has the front Of the
basement room, where they secured a
screw driver and several other tools.
An attempt was then made to gain an
entrance into Mr. Sword’s store above,
but the trap door was securely bolted.
They tried to force the hinges but failed
and the screw driver was then used to
take out the screws holding the cleats
on the door in older to take the latter.
apart. After several screws had been
removed the screw driver broke and
they gave up the attempt. .
The trap door ~shows several marks
of either an ax or jimmy which was
used in trying to force the door. he
hinges were badly bent but held in
position and foiled the attempt to gain
an entrance to the store. . Failing to
find anything of value in the basement
the burglars departed, taking with
them the key to the basement door.
No clue was left by the thieves and
the police are of the Opinion that it
was the work of boys.

CAROLINE ST. JOHN CHLCHESTER.
The remains of one of this town’s
most aged and honored residents, were
yesterday laid away in their native
$01]. The late Mrs. Henry Chichester
was a lineal descendant of Mathias St.
John, the Norwalk‘ settler through his
son, Mathias 2nd. Her grandmother
St. John was of the Platt family to
which belonged Elizabeth Platt, mother
of Col. Joseph Platt Cook, of the Con—
tinental army, and great—grandmother
of Rev. Samuel Cook, L‘. D., late rec-
tor of St. Bartholemew’s church, N.
Y. ., Mrs. ,Chichester’s brother, the
prince of North River, commanders,
'Capt. Alanson Platt St. John, perpetu-
ated the name of that branch of the
family. Her father was Stephen. grand-
son of Moses St. John, and her mother
was of the well known Betts blood of
Norwalk and Bircliard-Lambert stock
Of \Voodbury and Milford.
13y something of‘a coincidence she
was committed to the dust near the
hearthstone of her St. John forefather.
and a few feet from the homestead of
the Lockwood-St. John’s and almost
adjoining the ancient Platt farm.
Her life has-not been uneventful, and
while of quiet manner and Of gentlest
spirit, yet was she possessed of the
character-force common to her ances-
try. She has Well brought up a large
family, and many and endearing are
the ties that bind her children and her
kin to her memory. A tender tribute
to her worth was paid over her bier by
her South Norwalk pastor, and the
burial office was read by Rev. C. M.
Selleck.

Amusements.
HorT’s OPERA HOUSE.
“The Tornado,”,Lincoln J. Carter’s
realistic play which received its initial
presentation at H‘avlin’s about a fort-
night ago, will return to the same thea-
tre for the cumin.r week. The realistic
features of the piece as shown by its
previous presentation proved to'be the
most elaborate of any Of the attempts
in that line that have been seen in Chi-
cago. The tornado scene in which
buildings are swept away and whirling
masses fly hither and thither on the
stage, is a more ambitious effort along
the line Of realism than the storm scene
in the Davenport production of Sar-
dou’s Cleopatra. The play which the
author has fitted to his realistic effect
contains human interests and natural
results and combines with the mechani-
cal features to make an interesting pro-
duction. V, “The Tornado” is already
booked in some of the large cities of
England, although it has had less than
a month of existence—Tribune.
The company will appear 'at'Hoyt’s
Opera House next Friday evening.

Hoyt’s “A Trip to Chinatown” will

author’s most successful play it is to be
interpreted by a company selected by
the author, Mr. Charles Hoyt, to care-
fully portray the characters assigned
them. The cast includes Frank Lane

‘ BROOKLYN, Jan. 29.—'1‘he severe tension
in the strike affairs of last week has been
removed. and there is a. goOd‘feellng be-
tween the troops and the strikers. The
city seems to have assumed its normal con-
dition. The only evidence of strife is in
the cars, some of which are in a sadly di-
lapidated condition. Many .Of them are
without windows, but they serve to travel
in if the passengers don’t mind the cold.
No newlines have been opened today.
TheCrosstown cars were not run any far-
ther than the city hall, that portion of the
route of the cars between the city hall and
Eric basin being considered too dangerous
to be ventured upon with impunity. Very
few passengers are carried ‘ by theicars on
any of the lines, and the expenses of
the railroad companies are far in excess of
the receipts. The railroad presidents claim
that the back of the strike is broken, and
that in a day or two at most the strikers
will be back at work. President Lewis of
the BrOOklyn Heights company still holds
out his offer that he has room’ for about a
.third of the force which left‘him, and that
the places are open. to the strikers if they
care to return'to WOrk as individuals and
not through the, agency of the executive
committee of'D. '.AZ1 No. 75, K. of L. “In
fact,” said, Mr. Lewis. “I will not treat

President Norton of the Atlantic‘avc-
nue system said to a representative of the
press today that he would not re-engage
strikers. He says that. he can get all the
men he wants without asking assistance
of the strikers, and as they left his service
of their own accord and have destroyed his
property he will continue to do Without
them, engaging none but nonunion men.
The pickets found it very cold today, but
they were relieved every two hours. Those
who were not on actual duty Were allowed
to receive friends. and the Seventh regi-
ment was rejoicing at the prospect of being
recalled to New York. '
There is no longer any necessity for so
many troops in Brooklyn. Brigadier Gen-
eral McLeer today ordered home the Sov-
cnth and Seventy-first regiments and the
First battery. ' , 3
The rest of the First brigade was not re-
lleved at once, but General Mcher said he
Would not be surprised if they Went home
within 24 hours.
The Seventh was, when sent home. do-
ing duty at Ridgcwood, East New York
and at Halsey street. These have been the
three most dangerous points. Its head-
quarters vvcrc at Putnam avenue and Hal-
sey street.
The Seventy-first had been doing emer-
‘gency duty at the Thirteenth regiment ar-
mory. , § -
The First battery had been with the
Seventh at the Halsey street barns. '
The details of the troops relieved were
taken by Brooklyn companies, principally
by the Forty~seventh regiment. -
Cars Running Now.
It is generally conceded that the com-
panies have now much-tho better of the
fight, and it is difficult to figure out any
chance for the strikers to win.

ed since’ the beginning of the strike, the

Promote Material Prosperity. -

sembly, providing for the taxatiOnI§90f
church property, barring an exemption
of $15,000, is pretty sure to be carted
away to the legislative :bOneyard, and
even if we had an onion’in our pocket
we should find it difficult to shed tears
over the probable fate of the measure.
The estimated value of church proper-
ty in Connecticut is $16,985,036. The
influence which it exerts in elevating
public character, in making “the com-
monwealth a desirable place to livein,
and even invpromoting material pros-
perity cannot readily be estimated}—
