Is Is‘Still Another Borough Tax ?
As is well known to every citizen of the
borough of ordinary intelligence, the GA-
ZETTE is the favorite homcpaper, and is
more widely taken and read than any ‘
other. in the households of our largest tax
payers. Nevertheless, we recognize that
from unfriendly if not entirely unworthy
motivcs',tbe official notice of the ‘speclsl
borough meeting called for to-morrow. was
withheld. from its columns. That the
great majority ‘of the larger tax payers of
our borough may see that notice,
we, give it a gratuitous place in the most,
prominent. and conspicuous manner possi~
lair. it is as follows:
SPECIAL
BOROUGH MEETING.
HE LEGA L VOTERS» OF THE BOR~
ough of Norwalk are hereby notified
and warnedthat a SpecialBorough‘Meeta,
ing will be held at the Town House, in
said .Bm'nugh,.. on. Thursday, December”
111b, 1890. at 8 o’clock, taftcrnOon, fer the
purpose of rescinding the vote passed at a
special borough meeting, held September
10th,‘1890, directing the laying of: a tax of -
five mills on the assessment list 011890, to
be applied in payment of the expenses of
the construction of the macadam pave
ment on West avenue. Also, to lay a tax
on an assessment list- to be made and com-
pleted, and to fix'thc date of the payment
of said tax, or take such other action in
relation to the laying and collection of a
tax, or taxes, as said meeting shall deem
expedient. "Also, to take'into considera-
tion the expediency of selling to the Dan .
bury and Norwalk Railroad Company the
property of the Borough, situated on
Water‘street, to be used by said company
for the erection of a pastenger depot there.
on; and 'if said meeting shall deem it ex-
pedient to sell, to take such other action
in the premises as shall be deemed neCes-
sary to effect such sale and a conveyance
of the propr-rty. ' ,
By, order of the Court of Burgesses. .
Borough of Norwalk, Dec lat, 1890.
JOHN H. LEE, Warden.
The ambiguity involved in the first por-
tion of the call referring to the “rescind.“
ing ot’n former voter-and the additional
“to lay .“ tax on an assessment'to be
made. etc.” is such as to suggest a very
large sized African in the fence, and we
earnestly urge our tax payers to be on
hand to-morrow afternoon at S'o‘clock to
watch these proceeumcs, and if need be, .
throttle and squelch the concealed African
aforesaid. A hard winter is upon us,
with four taxes already impending and
neither the busmesscondittons nor p os
peels, nor the necessities of the case, are
such as to justify the laying of any further
burdens on an already overburdened and
tax ridden, and tax impoverished commu-
nity. A contract having been entered
into for macadamizing West avenue, and
the work now being in progress of com-
pletion, that debt must be met, but in the
name of all that is human and reasonable,
let no further tax burdens be laid on our
property owning people. Under all the.
circumstances, it would be far better to
let the borough borrow the money to pay,
(as it easily can and at a low rate of inter-
est.) for this West aVcnue improvement,
than to force in the face of the present 1
stringent money market, the collectioa of
the tax already laid for February.
The great mass of our tax payers could
far more easily meet that tax next sum—
mer, in all human probability, than now.
indeed, it would seem to be the part of
business wisdom to increase our regular
hormtgh tax to twelve and a half or even
fifteen mills for the next year or two, and
thus pay this debt by degrees, rather than
new, and all at once. Another fact; the
way this West avenue scheme was rail—
roaded through, was unfair to those of our
borough tax payers who own no teams
and those who resrde remotely from it,
and to thus heavily tax them for what can
he of'noearthly benefit or- advantage to
them, is manifestly cruel. {and unjust.
There should be adopted in these street
paving schemes a fairer system. A rule
such as exists in many places is for proper-
ty holders along the line of such a street
improvement to pay a quarter or a third
the cost on each side, leaving the other
one half or One third to be paid out of the
general treasury. This would be both ' a
wise and commendable general rule.
Under such a system, the citizens who
reside on any street in any part of the
borough, who will present a petition
signed ,by a majority of the property ,
holders on both sides of that‘strcet, re;
questing It to be paved or improved and
agreeing to meetcither a half or two~
thirds the cost thereof, and only taxing
the general public the remainder, would
be reasonably sure of getting the improve- ,
ment prayed for. This would give all
sections of the borough ,a show and not
limit and confine, as is now the case, our
vast expenditures of highway grepair
money, to ythe central portions of the
borough. ,

to-morrow’s ..meeting and see and know ~

It appears that the new sentimental
song, “Lovers Once but Strangers now,"
which has sprung into such sudden and
tremendous popularity,'was written by
our genial and sprightly friend, Arthur W
French. editor of the Bridgeport Sun, and
the words were published in his paper
two months ago. Frenchy sold it. to
Laura Jean Libbey, who claims and gets
a surfeit of glory and profit from the
enormous sales of the song, forit seems
“there’s millions in it." That's where
Frenchy made his mistake. Til-ti. glory
and those profits should be his, and might
set, to music byghis versatile and musical
friend, Col. Stevenson—to whom he is in—
debted for the title, “Buzzard of the brain
room"—'itnd controlled the sales himSeIf.
No doubt the Colonel would have cheer-
fully. furnished .uotes for the song, now
that the election is over, the Bridgeport
tons, matters disposed-j of, which some
months ago precluded the possibility of
his’entertaining 'for a moment the urgent
call frOm a NewYork music publishing
house, for “all the music he could write,
as fast as he could write it." What an

shape of 'an"_opera, either'comic or sel—
emnly serious, might be born of. the com—

And the lamentable dissolutionlof the

‘seem to render the present an opportune

retirement from active newspaper work is

Obituary.
The Simple announcement of a death
means little to the crowd of living, hurry—
ing humanity. The death of Mrs. Isaac
Buxton means little to the mass, but to the
few who knew her, it means that an ex—
ceptionaliy'lovlng and faithful wife and
mother has left a sorrowing household
and gone‘ the journey from which none
return. Few there are who are so patient
as was she, for she had sufferer! long and
was patient to the end. Knowing that
the Master’s call might come at any mo-
ment, site was ready. Peaceful and quiet
as her life had been, so was the end. So
quietly she left her loving ones, that her
husband awokein the night to find her
dead by his side. Nearly fifty years had this
lovmg couple dwelt together in unsion of
heart and mind. As the summers and
winters of more than three score years and
ten have passed over the bereft and sor.
rowing husband, none there are who
know him but whose sympathies Will be
for the faithful husband and father, who
has lost a most devoted wife and com-
panion. The mere expression Of words
are but poor symbols of the appreciation
ofsuch a’w'oman. .“None knew her but
to love her, none named her but to
praise.” x.

The Century Magazine is now so well known
that to tell of its ast success Seems almost an
old story. The ew York Tribune has said
that is and its companion, SLNicbolas for
Young Folks. issued by the same noose, “are
readby every one person jugthirty cfthe- coun-
try’s nOp‘ulation,”— and large editibns of‘ both
are sent beyond the seas. It is an, interesting
fact thata few years 630 it was found that
seven thousand copies of the Century went to
Scotlanddqnite a respectable edition in itself.
The question in England is no longer “Who
reads an American book i”? but "Who does not
see the American magazines ?” . -
A few years ago theCentury about doubled
llS circulation with the famons‘War Papers, by
General Grant and others. adding many more
readers later with the Lincoln History and
Kennan’s thrilling articles on the Siberian.
