SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION AGAIN DEFEATED

 

.South Norwalk Elects Republican Council and Norwalk

Democratic Except Meeker.

 

om Inusunen Poles runs or one VOTE.

 

The town and city elections Monday
resulted in many surprises. Frank H.
Merrill easily captured the office of
"first-selectman owing to the first and
second districts being at loggerheads
over the placing of their candidates
upon the ticket. Selectman Thomes
made a splendid run, however, and
lead both of the other candidates.

The entire Republican tbwn ticket,
with the exception of E. A. VV'oodward
_ for school visitor to fill vacancy, was
elected by a substantial majority.

License was not voted upon this time,
probably owing to the large majority
in favor thereof at the last year’s elec-
tion. The"constitutional amendment
received very little opposition, the vote
being 1498 for and 77 against.

The question of school consolidation
was overwhelmingly deleated, and
shows that the people are decidedly
Opposed to the scheme. ThevOte last
year was 755 for and 825 against, a ma- 1
jority of 70 against consolidation. This
year, however. the, voters were in
earnest and the vote stood 1104 against
to 372 for, a majority against consolida-
tion of 732.

In the city Charles L. Glover, the
Democratic candidate for mayor, was
elected Over Arthur B. Hill, Republi-
can, by.284 majority. The entire Dem-
, ocratic boardof councilmen were elect-

. ed excepting James Sutherland, who
was defeated by A. J. Meeker, the
Republican candidate.

‘ For city treasurer Henry P. Price
was elected by one vote over W. E.
Montgomery, his Democratic Opponent.

For city collector Addison A. Betts
polled a large vote and defeated his
Democratic opponent, O. E. Wilson,by
27 majority. ‘

Edward P.
placed on the Democratic city ticket
by mistake for that of his brother, Sam-
uel L. Weed, defeated Henry Chasmar
' for auditor by 41 majority. ,

Summerfield Tooker defeated Robert
N. Morehouse, the Republican candi~
date for city sheriff, by a majority of
15. 4

For water commissioner D. Warren
Fitch, Republican, defeated Nicholas
Martin by 45 majority.

In South Norwalk the Democrats re-
elected Dr. Charles G.Bohannan mayor
' over Frank A. Ferris by 26 majority.
_ The entire Republican council is elect-
ed as is the balance of the ticket.
