envelopes for the license and no-license
ballots at the town election, Monday,

clerks should, however, notify Colonel

decided to include the vote on license

less the state secretary is so notified, he
will have no knowledge that the town
will vote upon the license question and
that envelOpcs are required, therefore
none will be sent.

l‘he Town and City Accounts.

We believe, and have believed, for a
long time, that there was need for im-
provement in the manner: of disbursing
town funds and keeping an account of
the same Taxes come none too‘ easy,
and when we consider the enormous

amount Of money disbursed by the town

fathers, good business management
would dictate better methods than are

now practiced. In the city’s financial ‘

matters, we have some system and ac-
curacy. Each department has its dis-
tinct fund, and the public have some
intelligent and satisfactory idea as to
' _"'ivl1at is being spent.
'I'Each bill is receipted for, three
times, in most cases, the bills are filed
‘away and the name of the payee and
tie amount, is permanently recorded
1n the Council proceedings. The city
system of book-keeping is simple, yet
complete and accurate. The city bills
are passed upon at stated intervals and
the proceedings are publicly given in
the daily press. In town matters, bills
are paid out any time; there is no
journal. of proceedings; orders are
signed in blank, and it is not for the
Want of opportunity, but only because
our selectmen have been honest that
the town has not been plundered. Of
course, we will no doubt again be ac‘
cused of having an animus, but we be-
lieve that animus or no animus, there is
not only room, but a general, popular
demand, for better business methods
in the disbursement of the town’s cash.
The Town of Norwalk disburses over

$100,000 per anuum, and this money is
drawn from our hard-pressed tax pay-
ers and from license fees,and surely this
vast sum of money does not leap joy-
ously from the pockets of those who
pay it. We do not demand the impos-
sible, but we do demand in the public
interest, clearness and accuracy, and
we do think that allthe financial pro-
ceedings of the selectmeu, should be as
formal and as public as those of the
city council. We do uotexpectthat our
words will avail much " with the pres-
ent board because it is wedded to and
seems to prefer, the present fossilized
method, and we must stand it to the end
of itsterm. We hope, hoWever, that Our
town will adopt either voluntarily,or by
a town vote, or better still, by legisla-
tion enactment, some system of specific
appropriation and clear distinct records
thereof, similiar to that of the city and
that the selectmen will furnish duly con
sidered estimates of what. will be need-
ed, and have stated times to meet and
pass upon all bills and claims present-
ed. These suggestions are not captions,
unkind or unreasonable, and no town
official ought to object to methods that
are straightforward and business-like
and in the interest of the peOple who
elect them. '

 

Death Came to His 'Rescue.

Nimrod and blacksmith “Vet” Tay-
lor, suffered the loss by death, this
week, ofavaluable and thoroughbred
pointer dog. He feels the loss more
keenly from the fact that he had made
-a wager amounting to. the price Ofa
kennel of canines, that the dog could
outpoint one owned by John Haley.
Mr. Haley unkindly remarks that i
Was lucky for Mr. Taylor that the dog
died, as he would surely have lost the
wager.

The Town Accounts.

The Auditors met again last night
and sorted out all receipted bills with
irregular signatures. These they
turned over to the Selectmen with the
request that properly receipted bills be
furnished in .heir place so that they
could be passed.

No License.
The Stamford Post credits a thor-

 

' oughly informed gentlemen with say-

ing that Norwalk would. go n“o
license” this fall. .-s the published
notice for the annual town meeting
does not refer to the question of license
it is quite evident that a vote will not
be had in Norwalk on license this year.

Was He From Norwalk?

Yesterday’s Morning Journal prints
the following:

“William Donnelly, employed as a
trolley boy on the Coney Island &
Brooklyn Railroad, died Tuesday at
the Seney Hospital from injuries re-
ceived at work on Monday.

Donnelly was seventeen years of ago.
His duties required that when trailer
cars were drawn by the electric motors
he should take care of the brakes on
the rear cars, and in case the trolley
pole'left the wire readjust it.

Shortly before 1 o’clock Monday,
when the car on which Donnelly work-
ed was bowling at a high speed, he lost
his balance and fell from‘the platform.
His left leg was broken and he was
brusied and hurt internally. Ambu-
lance .-urgeon Webster took the victim
to the hospital, wherehe died. An in-
quest will be held by Coroner Kane.”

The Misses Donnelly of Harbor ave-
nue, this city, are inclined to the belief
that the victim is their brother who left
nown in June, since which time they
nave not heard from him. It will be
remembered that their father sustained
fatal injuries by being struck by a lo-
comotive at the freight depot some
years since.

Medical Men Discuss.

The joint meeting of the health offi-
cers of New Haven and Fairfield counties
was held yesterday in Bridgeport. The
meeting was held upoh invitation of
County Health Officer George E. Hill
who acted as master of ceremonies.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of discussing the various changes made
in the health laws by thelast legisla-
ture and also fer the purpose of decid-
ing upon the best methods to be used
in enforcing them. '

There was an excellent attendance,
medical men and others concerned in
looking after the health of towns and
cities all over the stat; being present.
The meeting was opened by Attorney
Hill who gave a short tllk in which he
eXpounded the new laws. Then County
Health Officer Headley of New Hav en
discussed the policy to be pursued in
securing the enforcement of these laws.
Dr. Tracy of this city followed with
some remarks on the opposition en-
countered in enforcing the laws. At
the conclusion of Dr. Tracey’s address
a general discussion follotved in which
many interesting points were brought
out which will no doubt be Of benefit
to the health of the community in the
future.

Now One Apiece.

The English yacht Spruce IV, yester-

day captured the second race in the

 

 

 

 

 

for fmall boats, defeating Ethelwyn,
the defender, by a margin of twenty-
three seconds in a twelve mile race over
a triangular course of two miles a side.

The contest was fOught out in a wind
of strength varying from nothing up to
eight miles an hour and which shifted
to nearly all pO1uts of the compass from
south to north-east. The battle royal
was fought during the fifth and sixth
legs Of the course.

On the fifth leg the racers were most
of the time squarely before the wind
with spinnakers to port and booms to
starboard, getting wind from the south-
east, while west of them sailing craft
had strong easterly air. It was a
strange “pocket” of wind and when it
finally broke and both boats got the
prevailing breeze and reached the rest
of the way to the fifth mark, the adVau-
tage was with Ethelwyn by forty sec-
onds.

On the final two miles home it was
windward work in the best air of the
day and while the American boat
worked against the ebb tide to the
finish, Mr. Brand persisted in short
tacks, which gave him frequent chances
to some advantage of the unfavorable
tide.

It was an exciting race from the start
for at various times first one and then
the othe r of the little flyers was ahead.

At Rest.

The deceaseof Mrs. Maria V. A. Carter,
of West avenue, creates a void that can-
not eas1ly be filled. She belonged to
the old New York Mott family and was
from childhood identified with the old
Trinity parish of that city, but upouv
coming several years since, to Nor walk,
transferred her loyalty to Rev. Dr.
Swoope Of Trinity Chapel to the incum-
bent at that time of St. Paul’s in this
town, and has here strewn her entire
church pathway with beneficent and
blessed ministratious. Her signal na-
ture and character, grace and goodness
have adorned and. dignified human liv-
ing and her memory is a ric h legacy.

The choral burial office Was yester-
day performed ovcr her bier in the

 

remains were borne to one Of the loveli-
est sleeping spots on Manhattm island
where, into a grave flooded with golden
sunlight and close to that Of her lament-
ed husband,they were reverently lower-
ed. A sepuiture office was said and the
company with uncovered heads stood
by until the tomb was completely filled
and its raised mound was crowned with
rare blossoms, beneath which asstirred
by the evening breeze, the emerald
leaves over the family plot, breathed
vespers, was left to- sweet and sacred
repose, this pure and true daughter of
the faith.

'Among the group at the grave side
were the two nephews of the departed,
the scholarly Dr. Carter, of the E‘tSl},
and his accomplished brother, who had
only the day before arrived in America,
