That Railroad Conference.

The following petition from the Warden
and Burgesses was presented by the board
of trade committee at the conference with
President Clark at New Haven last week
Monday. It was. supplemented with
.memorials from the selectmen, board of
trade and citizens:

BOROUGH or NORWALK,
February, 1890.

The undersigned, the Warden and Burgess-
es of the Borough of Norwallc, respect-
fully represent:

First, That in the construction of any
new railroads or extensions of existing roads
through western Connecticut, the necessities
and convenience of the residents of that 10-
cality should be first considered and these
should not be made subsidiary to the re-
quirements of through freight and passen-
ger traffic. - .

Second, The New York. New Haven &
Hartford R. R. company, for years past,
and notably, at the last session of the Gen-
erul Assembly, deprecated the construction
of competing lines by other organizations
and upon its declaration of its intention to
provide adequate railroad facilities fer this
portion of the State, became the recipients
of charter privileges which were denied to
others.

Third, That the construction of two addi-
tionallracks upon its present line, while
furnishing somewhat better accommodations
for through freight and passenger traffic,
will be of trifling benefit to the people that
we represent, compared to the advantages
that would accrue to them by the building
of a new line through this Borough.

Fourth, That by the construction of a
double tracked road from Portchester to
New Haven, north of tidewater, all draw.
bridges and the delays and dangers incident
thereto, would be avoided, and by passing
through the Borough of Norwalk, the up-
per part of Westport, Bridgeport and the
other shore towus, a large number of
c.tizens of this State would be greatly bene-
fited and convenienced, and at the same
time you would provide a shorter and safer
route for through passenger traffic.

In view of these facts and because of the
great benefit that We believe will come not
only to the Borough of Norwalk but to the
entire southwestern portion of Connecticut.
We respectfully ask the President and
Directors of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R.
Co., to reconsider their decision to four-
track their existing railroad line and in
place of that work, to build a first-class,
modern railroad along the northern section
of the shore towns, and thus give to us those
facilities for transportation and communica-
tion to which we feel that we are entitled,
and which under all the circumstances, ,we
feel that you are under obligations to pro-
vide.

SENATOR HILL’S REMARKS.
In Support of these memorials Senator

Hill spoke as follows:

llfr. B‘esidcnt:——Tliere have been periods
in the history of the corporation over which
you preside, when the presence of acom—
mittee of citizens at its executive office
would at once imply that grievances were to
be related and redress sought for wrongs
done.

We are here for no such purpose to-day.

As citizens of Connecticut, we rejoice in
the prosperity of 0111' State and are proud of
its progress:

We cannot, then, fail to note with pleas-
ure the growth and success of this, its larg-
est corporation and to remember, that at
no time in its history has its condition been
more prosperous than during these years
since you assumed its management.

During the past twenty-five years, we
have seen little hamlets spring up along
your iron road, grow quickly into villages,
towns and cities and draw from adjoining
towns the capital of brains and pluck and
dollars, for all of which there was abundant
use and need at home, and we have grown
jealous and have worked and struggled and
fought that some great commercial high-
way might pierce our farms, open .up our
villa sites, give us quick transit to and fro,
and thus practically bring the markets of
this country to our factmy doors.

 

Again and again during these years our
hopes have been excited only to be led with
disappointment, and now we come to you as
the official head of a Connecticut corpora-
tion, and putting aside for the present any
consideration of our rights as citizens of this

of its chartered privileges, we urgently ask
you to consider as a purely business proposi—
tion, whether the present interests and the
future welfare of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R.

R. 00., will not be better served and guard-
ed by the construction of a distinct double
track railroad, located north of tide water,

avoiding all draw—bridges and tapping new
territory, rather than by the building of
two additional tracks along your present .
line from Portchester to New Haven.

. Assuming that the present traffic of your

road justifies the expense of two additional

tracks, cannot the right of way be secured

through new territory more cheaply than in

the thickly settled section adjacent to the

stations on your present line; and what is

far more important, cannot depot grounds

and freight hahdling facilities commensurate

with the requirements of your enormously

increasing traffic be secured upon a new

line at a cost much less than upon the old

one, even if it were possible to acquire them

at all in some of the towns and cities on

your present location ? For every foot of

land you buy along your present line you

must pay - a price that has been vastly in-

creased by the simple fact of your presence

there. Whatever you build now a will be

used by the next generation. Provide for

the probabilities of =railroad traffic as well

as its present "necessities. Can you do it on

your present line ? .
I know very little about building or
managing railroads, but I do know that it is
generally better economy and always more
satisfactory to the future occupants to build
a new house rather than to remodel and
reconstruct an old one.

When we consider the new bridges re-
quired, the removal of highway grade cross-
ings, the rebuilding of depots and the practi-
cal reconstruction of the old line as involved
in the changes proposed, certainly it cannot
be a much greater pecuniary outlay to build

a new double track road upon a distinct and
separate lay out.

In the one case you will for the next few
years be in a constant state of upheaval,

fill» .your traffic will be interrupted, your tracks

will be in disorder, ydur depots gin confusion
and in. additIOn' to the disarra'ngement of
your business and great annoyance to your-
selves, the'traveling‘public will be greatly
discommoded.

If you build a distinct road the business
of the old line will be undisturbed.

Time is money nowadays and it would
seem to be far better that the newline
should be constructed independent :of the
'old, more quickly,i'more.clieaply, all things
considered, and when finished the surplus-
traffic transferred to it.

We have just finished in Norwalk the

i-with a-lbusiiiess'igoingf. on. as usual every day
and are fully alive to the folly ofa continuv

 

 

experiment of rebuilding. a banking'house "as good a 'rig tto the uaébstruCted"use of

State, or of your responsibilities as a holder .

\

ous occupation of even a single building
under such circumstances.

The builder considerately warned us at
the out set that it would be "‘hell” for all
concerned. ' '

It was, but unless I am much mistaken,
our little structure was Paradise, compared
with the probable condition of this great
railroad line, worked to its full capacity and
under reconstruction at the same time.

But there are other considerations than
those of economy.

It does not need any argument on my
part. to show that at acme time in the future
another railroad will be built out of New
York into New England.

A simple glance at the map will show the
lines of roads running into Long Island,
New Jersey, Southern New York and three
in the little strip of land between the Hud-
son river and the Connecticut state line.

They are fingers on the hand of the me-
tropolis, pointing to cheap land and cheap
homes for its surplus population. But one
points to the six New England States. For a
quarter of a century the question of another
railroad in this direction has been alive one.
It has controlled our politics, harassed our
Legislatures and far too often scandalized
our State.

Thus far you have beep successful in
maintaining, and now enjoy unmolested, a
splendid monopoly and gracefully draw
tribute from a liberty loving population of
four million Yankees.

I do not know when it will come, but
sooner or later it is sure to happen, that
another finger will point this way, and an-_
other splendid road, without drawbridges,
without grade crossings and with every
modern improvement and convenience. will
give cheaper, safer and quicker transit to an
ever increasing population than it is possible
to give upon your present route.

It rests with the Consolidated road to
decide now whether they will occupy this
ground and pre-empt this franchise or go on
fighting against fate only to be beaten at
the end.

Build your four track road on your pres-
ent line and you define your policy for the
next twenty-five years. Long before those
years have passed some master mind will
grasp the chance that you have let slip
and flank your 'wliole system. It is a his—
torical fact that the four tracking of the
New York Central did not prevent the
building of the West Shore road, nor obvi-
ate the necessity of purchasing it when
built.

I grant the claim that will doubtless be
made, that one four track road can be man-
aged with a smaller force of employees than
can two distinct. roads even if under the
same control.

But against this I put the statement of
one of the engineers of the New York Cen'
tral system, that the care and maintenance
of four tracks in close proximity was a
heavy burden and that such an arrange-
ment was a great mistake, one which no
railroad would ever repeat.

Against it, too, I put the fact, perfectly
evident, that the increased traffic on two
roads would more than ofiset the extra cost
of management.

Within a few years past, you have opened
seven new stations on your line from Nor-
walk to New Rochelle.

Why were not these depots there when
the road was built ‘? Plainly, because they
were not needed.

Where have the patrons come from?
There can be but one answer to this ques-
tion.

New York city, your western terminus,
adds scores of thousands to its population
'every year. As land increases in value
there and rents go up, thousands every year
are seeking cheap homes in near country
towns and going to and from business every
day. Six to eight minutes time, and half a
mile ofdistance from a depot is the extreme
limit to which any consideration is .or in
fact can be given for a location in the coun-
try for a man doing business in New York
city. This has been demOnstrated over and
over again within my own observation in
the town of Norwalk. And all along your
line a very marked and striking difference
in the value of real estate is shown, de-
pendent entirely upon its proximity to or
remoteness from a railroad station.

Build a distinct and separate road one or
twomiles north of your present line, and
from the busy streets of New York city, be-
fore your road is finished into New Haven,
you will have drawn a newsst of patrons
whose traffic and whose travel will far more
than compensate for the" increased cost of
management. .

And this trade, in the very nature of
things, will not come to your four track
road. Along that line, land is dear, made
so by twenty railroad stations within a dis-
tance of forty-two miles of New York.

Take up any New York real estate jour
nal and you will find cheap homes and quick
transit advertised for Long Isiand, New Jer-
sey and New York, but none in or into Con-
necticut. .

Build this road and you turn our farms
and pasture lands into building lots bring
the very best class of citizens into this state,
increase the taxable property of every town
through which it runs,add to the value ofour
houses and our land, give an impetus to all
kinds of business, and at the same time shut
off any possible competition with yourselves.
It would indeed seem that in this matter
our interests are mutual.

There is'another fact, that, in my view,
has a grave bearing upon this whole ques-
tion. ,

Between Portchester and New Haven
your road crosses upon drawbridges, five
navigable arms of Long Island Sound. The
United States government has expended
upon all of these more or less, and upon
some, large amounts of money for the im-P
provement of navigation. .

The importance of maintaining these
waterways unobstructed, is shown by the
fact that the legislature of 1882 provided
that no railroad bridge should be canstruct—
ed over n’avigable waters between your ex-
isting bridges and the sea. It Was a wise
provision of law, even if it was prohibitory
of possible future competition with your-
selves south of your present line.

But we who transact business at the head
of navigation, and pay larger freights and
towing charges because of the orders of the
railroad commissioners which ' practically
close your drawbridges and stop up our har-
bors except at'stated periods fixed to suit
your convenienceand necessities, look for-
ward with much anxiety to the time when
four tracked bridges or four interlacing
tracks upon the present ones, will, with the
multiplied and continually multiplying
trains, make our harbors almost inaccessible
and, useless. We can seeno difierence in its
effect upon our business," between your pro:
posed in and the building of another set
of bri gee along the whole line. ' ' .

ble waters in four of those localitiesand

ing vessels, do away wilh‘a large item of

ficial one under the sanction of a, Connecti-
cut L‘ islature. I can speak with unction
upon} is "phase of the case, being one of
the. Victims of the present situation.

And now having but just touched upon 3

our standpoint might seem to induce. you
to look'with favor upon a reconsideration
of your decISion to four track your existing
line, "pardon me if I take a little more of
your time to indicate our position in this
matter.

\Ve do not for a single moment suppose
that you will build a double tracked rail-
road simply because we ask it. Tradition
tells us that the original survey and loca-
tion of the N. Y. & N H. R. R., was
through the Borough of Norwalk and that
from that line. your company was practi-
cally driven by the hostility of the people
and the exorbitant demands of property
owners. 1

Two generation have passed away and
to-day the descendents of those men ask you
now to correct the mistake then made, and
ask it on the ground of mutual interest.

Although distant from your depots but
about two miles, the people of the Borough
of N orwalk are paying according to the best
estimates that can be procured, more than
ten thousand dollars annually for freight
and passenger transportation in excess of
What they would pay if upon the direct
route between New York and Boston.

And this is one of those taxes that is
paid entirely by the consumer and no-
where that I can see is there even a shadow
of a corresponding benefit It may be
claimed that your company will if no
change in its plans is .made, continue to
reap the benefit of this traflic.

But let me say to you that it 18 only the
traffic which can find no other possible
route, and that the fact of being a “Bosh 11
point” on the Housatonic system, and sub-
ject to an arbitrary charge of two cents per
hundred pounds when transferring from
your line, practically forces us to order
every pound of Western and Northern
freight by the former route rather than over
your road as we used to do when Norwalk
was a Boston point by the Star Union Line.
Two dollars per ear in these days of close
competition and small profits is on many
lines of merchandise, a fair business margin
and I say to you frankly that you are losing
thousands of dollars every year in freights
that naturally belong to you and which you
surely would have. if by building a separate
line you placed us upon a through east and
west route.

Situated as we are, liberally and gener-
ously treated as we have been in this re-
spect by the Housatonic management ever
since its absorption cf the D. do N. R. R.
it is but natural that the sympathies of our
people, in any railroad contest, should be
with that company and that their active
co operation should have been with it in
what they believed to be an honest effort to
improve our railroad facilities a year ago.

The very situation of things in the upper
part of these towns along your line compels
these people to be “parallel railroad men”
and such they will continue to be until res
lief is found. ‘

A year ago, I said to the committee on
railroads in the General Assembly, that the
people of Fairfield county would welcome
with equal pleasure, the Housatonic, the
Consolidated or any other company that
would give us a new line to New York. I
say again to you that we do not care who
builds it. It is the road that we want. We
do not fear consolidation of two roads under
one management, for public opinion is
stronger than any railroad company, how-
ever great.

What we want, is another road and it
rests with you now, to give it to us and in
so doing to everlastingly benefit both your-
selves and us.

J. E. SEYMOUR’S SPEECH.

The remarks made by John S. Seymour,

Esq., at the Same time, are held over for in-

sertion in the GAZETTE next week.
A Question of Right and Justice.

The Bridgeport Post, in alluding to the
dissatisfactioa in Company F, of Norwalk,
over the election of Major of the Fourth
regiment, says 2—- -

“It seems that Norwalk wanted the earth
when it could not be satisfied with a reason-
able division of the officers.”

Thisis a very far-fetched argument. By
an unwritten law of military etiquette, pro-
motion: is generally one of the principal
considerations in elections for the filling of
vacancxes, and this rule was observed in the
recent Fourth regiment elections, with the}
exception of the case of Major CrOWe’s
successor. Neither the Post nor any of the
regimental officers will attempt to deny that
the rule of promotion was flagrantly violated
by the election of Captain Cornell, of
Bridgeport, to the position of Major, over
the head of Captain Belts, of Norwalk,
whose claims to promotion were and are.
indisputably stronger than those of Captain
Cornell or any other officer. Captain Belts
enlisted in the ranks in 1872, and has been
aline ofiicer since 1874. His commission
as Captain ante-dates that of Captain Cor-
nell by several years, and he has for some
years past been the senior Captain of the
regiment, which fact alone constitutes a clear
and unassailable claim to preferment. The
fact that South N orwalk has the Lieutenant-
Coloncl, which we assume that the Post has
in mind when it speaks of “a reasonable
division of the officers,” should have no
influence in the matter. It is simply a
coincidence. Both Major Crowe and Cup-
tainBetts were entitled to promotion by
virtue elf long years of faithful and efficient
service, and eligibility which no others
possesse ;and to deprive one of a reward
well earned, simply because another in the
same town has been rewarded forfaithful
service would seem to involve an original
interpretation of ‘ military ethics. The
simple fact of the matter is, right and jus-
tice were defeated by the lofty ambition of
other aspirants —Reoord.

Thursday afternoon. ‘The programme
opened with selections from “Joan of
Arc,” by Professor Bartley’s,,chorous. It
was very finely rendered. An oration
was delivered by Master Jesse Stewart on
the “First Oration.” The orations by
Master Samuel; Beardsley, Master W.
Burger, and the essays of Miss Turner
and Miss Taiutor are worthy of special
mention. Miss Clarke recited the Rev.
Dr. H. N. Powers poem on the Johnstown
Flood, in a pleasing manner. Superin-
tendeut Harrington, of~the Board of Edn-
cation, made an excellent address, giving
great credit to Professor Bartley and the
other teachers and scholars, for the success
of the entertainment, and the able manner
in which the scholars had acquitted them-
selves. .

The Rev. Charles Ray Palmer preached
in the North Church last Sunday, an
anniversary and historical sermon. The
sermon was complete in historical facts,
it being the 200th anniv‘érsary of the
beginning of the civil and religious work
in this community. The full anniversary
does not occur until 1895, and as the old
North Church is the parent society, it was
but a proper and a fitting thing to observe
this memorable event.

Rev. Dr. Hovey’s resignation was read
Sunday morning at the Park street Con-
gregational church, and it took his con,
gregation by surprise. It reads as follows:

My dear people:—It is now about three
years since I came among you, and they
have been busy, happy and fruitful ones.
I am sincerely grateful for your loyal co-
operation and friendship. My heart is in
my work, and the Park-st church has my
love. It would be delighted to staylonger
in such a field, ministering to the beloved
housch..l.ls whose doors have so often
opened Lmy knock, preaching the blessed
gospel in the aged and the young, and
garnering spiritual harvests as they ripen-
ed; and it is peculiarly trying to think of
a change at a time when our church is so
admirably organized and equipped for
successfullwork. My reasons for the step
now taken may be safely reserved for a
future occasion. Enough that. owing to
causes which seem to be beyond our con-
trol, and acting by the best light to be had
as to the path of duty, I do hereby tender
my resignation of the pastorate, to take
effect by the first of next August, or at
such other date as may hereafter be fixed
by mutual agreement.

Should you see fit to accept this resigna—
tion, I shall request you to unite with me
in calling the consociation to meet at some
suitable time, as a council of dismission.
Meanwhile, for the good of all, let our re-
lation as pastor and people stand intact till
the tie is finally severed. We have work
yet to be done, and let us do it with our
might. Especially may we be worthy
sharers in the spiritual blessings for which
the children of God in this city are at the
present time unitedly besieging the throne
of Grace, My heart’s desire is to leave
you, whenever I go, a prosperous, united,
happy people, zealous. for every good
work, arrayedin' the beauty, of holiness,
and full of power. ~

Wishing you grace, mercy and peace, in
the nan a: of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am
your affectionate pastor and friend,

Dr. Hovey has done good work in
Bridgeport, for the Master, and will leave
behind a great many earnest Christian
friends, who will exceedingly regret his
leaving this field. He succeeded the Rev.
F. E. Hopkins, who is a very eloquent
and able preacher, and now pastor of the
First Congregational . church, in New
Canaan.

Isaac W. Smith, one of our oldest and
most respected merchants, died on Mon-
day last, at his residence on Noble avenue,
in East Bridgeport. He was a father-in-
law to Mr. George Comstock, formerly of
Wilton, Conn., but now of this place.
The funeral was largely attended from his
late residence, on Wednesday last. Mr.
Smith was a member of the Park Street
Congregational church. Rev. Mr. Daven'
port and Rev. F. E. Hopkins, formerly
pastors of the church, assisted the Rev.
Dr. Hovey at the funefal services.
