The borough Board of Trade com-
mittee recently appomted to confer
With a committee from South Norwalk
regarding the proposed consolidation
of the borough, South N orwalk and
East-Norwalk under a City government.
have drawn up the following, agreeable
to the request of the South Norwalk
committee. The borough committee
is composed of Messrs. George M.
Holmes. James \V. Hyatt. Frederick
Mead. Robert Van Buren and John D.
Imminey: ‘
(‘rENTLEMENt—In consideringr the subject of
a union of East- Norwalk, South Norwalk and
the Borough under one municipal government.
we wish to disclaim any purpose or desire to
secure political control. or to serve any parti-
san ends. as we deem that of trivial import-
ance compared to an attainment of the sini-
plcst and most economical form ot‘governmeiit
and one that is most advantageous to the
present interests a mi futureprosperity of all
three lomlities. An article in the Met-hanit-s‘
.lnurnal of" DQt'OlilIlE’l' 720th. entitled "Let Us
llo ‘Likewise. ‘ seems to fit our case exactly.
It closes thus: “United we are not great: di-
vided we shall be infinitesinially smaller." The
population of East Norwalk is about 2.500; Of
South Norwalkfi.000; of the Borough 7.000: the
income figures in each case being but a trifle
less. Dismissing the ouestion of a division of
the town. because we do not believe that the
people desire it. or that the legislature-elect.
as. constituted. would sanction it. let us
briefly consider the interests of the three
localities named. United in one. with a popu-
lation of 14,500. we would. at the start. outrank
some of the older cities of the state. and ex—
ei'Cise an influence in state affairs which num-
bers only can secure. Give the Borough a
separate cit-y charter. and unite South Nor-
wa-lk and East Norwalk only. and there would
be within the limits of one town. the two
smallest cities in the state. What we want for
the growth and prosperity of the whole place.
is less government. not more; less taxes. not
greater ones.
. Many of our citizens are owners of property
in all three localities and each year are called
upon to pay one town. three school district.
one Borough and one city tax. Six tax lists to
be watched and scrutinized. to say nothing of
the useless expense involved in the prepara-
a_tion and collection of certainly four. if not
five of them. Is not this like the burdensome
and annoying practice which now prevails of
compelling a man who carries a trunk or per-
son a load of lumber or ton of coal from one
path of the town to another, to pay a license in
)o i ‘2
And then. as the Journal fitly asks. “Why do
we need three sets of oflicials to attend to the
public affairs of fifteen thousand people?" Is
it not manifest that. even if all served without
compensation. the expense of administration
would be much greater than with a tithe of the
number more directly responsible to the
people ?
The whole tendency of the times. both in
public and private corporations is toward con-
solidation and consequent- reduction of expen-
diture. For years Norwalk with its three gov-
ernment-s and its miserable petty ioalousies
has been the laughing stock of this state.
When she asked to be made the county seat.
Bridgeport sneered at us as “a house divided
against itself.” When application was made
at Washington for a public building. we were
told to "get together and deserve it." When
once we did get toget‘s“ and unitedly asked
for a state armory. we. ii...‘ only succeeded in
having our request granted. but we learned
over again the lesson that in union is strength.
. Others have learned this and are profiting by
it. Bridgeport and East Bridgeport. separated
by the Peouonnock river. have united and
having now taken in a part of Stratford has
become the third city in Connecticut. New
Haven has joined Fair Haven and will petition
the next legislature for a union of the whole
town under one government. Meriden and
West Meriden together make a strong and in-
fluential city and both sections are prosperous.
New York and Brooklyn discuss union. while
Norwalk and South Norwalk are talking of
division.
Suppose. a united people under one govern-
ment. With one Mayor and one Council. with
one tax levy and one Board Of Public Works.
are you not certain that Norwalk would be
more. prosperous. more pushing. more ag-
gressn'e. more influential. and withal a more
economical community in which to live and
transact busniess?
Make of the Borough three wards. of South
Norwalk three. and Of East Norwalk two. elect
each year a Mayor, and from each ward one
Councilman. voted for only by those living
within the ward, and give to this bodv so
chosen the management and control of the
entire city. even to the appointing of all other
necessary officials. Equalize the indebtedness
of the Borough and South Norwalk according
to the assessed valuation of property in each.
by a special tax which shall cancel any excess
in either. prior to consolidation. place to the
ll‘l‘edlt ot.‘ East Norwalk a_ pro rata amount to
)e expended in the public improvements which
it so much needs and must speedily have, pull
all together under any name that may be de-
sired. and we venture the prophecy that when
the next census is taken. this good old town
will have moved up much nearer to the top of
the list. of Connecticut towns than it now is.
The rapid growth of East Norwalk in the pa st-
two years surely pomts to a much larger growth
in the next decade. With a broad area of com-
paratively level around over which to extend
itself. with the channel of the harbor hugging
that shore. with its wonderfully improving
railroad facilities. with its new depot more
than a. quarter of a mile nearer to the busi-
ness center of the Borough than the present
South Norwalk depot is, with a systematic and
comprehensive plan of public improvements
that can be carried to completion at a relative-
ly small cost if not attempted on the patch-
work method. it would seem as though its
people would deem it wise to unite this whole
tgiwn in one strong and flourishing municipal-
l V.
The timeisj not far distant. even if it is not-
w1se to anticmate it, when the two wards there
will become three and the representation in
the local government equalized.
We are now in the last week of the 250th year
of our history as a. town. With natural advan-
tages that are hardly equalled in the state.
with a prosperity in the past and present that
is the envy of many. with a record of loyalty
and patriotism that is surpassed by no other
community in New England. let us unitedly go
forward. each burying and forgetting his own
petty selfishness and jealousies and all work-
ing together for the good of all and rejoicing
together in the prosperity of all.
Prompted by such a spirit. and emulating the
example‘of our fathers. we can give to the N or-
walk which they founded and for which thev
planned and labored, a prosperity of which
they little dreamed. _
To this end we invite your co-Operatiou.

Permit us to add two suggestions. Should
the foregomg meet your approval and the rat-
ification of the people :
lst—‘That the present northern boundaries of
the City and East Norwalk should be moved
further north so that the population of both
places might be increased and the old division
lines obliterate . _
2d—Tliat by common consent the first mayor
of the new City should be chosen from South
Norwalk.

WEEKLY 7- NOYR'VVBALK - GAZETTE.
THE EAST NORWALK POST-OFFICE.
The publication, exclusively in the
GAZETTE, of the authoritative an-
nouncementthat East Norwalk will be
: permitted to retain her post office,
seems to have thrown our esteemed
city contemporary intohysterics and
caused it to writhe in pitiable paroxysms
of envy and indulge in far-fetched and
peurile efforts to stir up sectional feel-
ing. Without going into the animus
that inspires the Sentinel in its ill ad-
vised tirade. and its unjust and uncall-
ed for animadversions regarding an
imaginary “coterieof Nor-walk poli~
ticians who have no interest in the
East Side.” it maybe of interest and
profit to the Sentinel to be informed
that the sentiment- of a great majority
of East Norwalk’s residents—especial-
ly of the common sense people. who
carry on business and have carefully
considered this post office matter—is
l decidedly against the plan of making
j the section dependent upon the South
Norwalk pest office, . nd subject to the
delay-3 and inconveniences that such an
arrangement must necessarilj.‘ i.nplj.‘.
As against the “vigorous and cm-
vs-
.‘_4_h
.L
phatic denunciations" by the
walk gentleman interviewed b5: the
Sentinel. we quote the mild and tem-
perate. but sensible sentiments of a
prominent resident. who knmvs winte-
of he speaks, and who is worthy of all
confidence and belief. He states that
certain interested parties in South Nor-
walk secured and paid for the services
of caiivassers to obtain the signatures
of peeple in East Norwalk. to a peti-
tion praying for a discontinuance of
the East Norwalk post office and that
the residents there might be served, as
to mails, by carriers from the South
Norwalk post office. These signatures.
numbering about 400. were secured on
representations calculated to impress
the signers with the idea that the
change would be a vast benefit to them.
The petition was sent in to headquarters
and a post office inspector was set- on to
investigate the case. He conversed
with different parties, went over the
grounds and acquired a comprehensive
idea of the situation, and the result of
his conference is the report denying
the application for the change. as in-
expedient and unnecessary.
The proposed change would give the
people of East Norwalk two deliveries
a day, whereas they now have seven
mails daily. There are something like
thirteen miles of road to be traveled by
the carriers, which wouldpreclude the
possibility of the carriers making the
rounds more than twice. This arrange-
ment would inconvenience hundreds of
people who rejoice that the scheme,
which, as some of the plain spoken ones
put it, had its inception in a desire to
increase the revenue of the South Nor-
walk post Office. and thus enhance the
prestige of the city. It is also held
that about the proportion of the popu-
lation favoring the change, was ap-
proximately shown by the petition,
which was signed by about 400 persons
out of a total Of 3,000, and that some
who signed. rejoiced afterwards at its
failure.

[By Rev. George W. Nichols. D. D.. in Home
Journal.l
The locality embraced in the follow-
ing sketch lies directly upon Long
Island Sound, about forty-two miles
from the city of New York. Its history
maybe traced back to the latter part
of the sixteenth century. At that time
Norwalk was inhabited by two clans of
Indian tribes who dwelt on either side
of the Quinnepaug river. which divides
the town into two parts. This whole
region, upon which now stands a large
and thriving city of eighteen thousand
inhabitants once was sold, by these In-
dians tribes, to a small settlement of
white people, for “eight fathoms of
wampum, ten hatchets, ten hoes, ten
knives. ten scissors, ten Jew’s harps.
ten fathoms of tobacco, ten looking-
glasses, and ten kettles.” The town
derives its name from the description
of the grant, given by the Indians, in
this purchase; it being described, as
one day’s Indian-walk into the country,
or one day’s North-walk. Hence its
name “N orwalk.”
At this day we find many of the
names still extant which these abor-
igines gave to different objects and
places, and many of them are striking-
ly beautiful, such for example as the
name “Quinnebaug,” the name of the
river, which winds its way so peaceful-
ly through the town. “Saugatuck” is
another very expressive and musical
name, given by the Indians, to the ad-
joining village now called “Westport,”
and also to the beautiful river, “Sauga—
tuck,” which flows through that village;
“N oroton.” a small village to the west—
ward. “Compo;”a salt-water beach,
where the British soldiers afterwards
landed to devastate and destroy the
place; “Sasco,” a beach still farther
eastward, are some of the names given
by these red men which are still retain-
ed.
- Norwalk was not. wanting in brave
the revolution. One man has left be-
hind him a bright and enduring record
of his valor, and his name is deserving
Of honorable mention—Captain Stephen
Betts. He~fought at the T battles of
Bunker Hill and Lexington, and PM-
ticipated in that fierce struggle which
took place at Trenton, December 56,
1777, and also at Princeton six days
afterwards, January 1, 1778. On the
and patriotic men in the trying days of ‘
eleventh of J uly, 1779, the British Gen-
eral, Tryon, with about two thousand
men, landed at Compo Beach. and
leaving their boats they proceeded up
into the town, which was then only a
small helpless settlement, consisting of
perhaps one hundred houses and some
two or three churches. By order of
General Tryon all these houses, includ-
ing the chiu'ches, were laid in ashes,
while General Tryon, it is said, sat in
his chair at a convenient distance and
watched the scene of the burning with
evident satisfaction. At this time Nor-
walk was taken by urprisc, and had no
means of resistance, though General
W'ashington, anticipating some such
event, had sent General Parsons of
Lyme. Conn, to the rescue. But he
arrived after the work of destruction
was completed. Captain Bet-ts, brave-
ly. however, came forward with only
fifty soldiers and attacked the British
forces. He was routed and lost most
of his brave men, while. according to
General Tryon’s account. the loss on
the side of the British was twenty kill-
cd, ninety-six wounded and thirty two
missing.
But come down to our own day and
time, what a mighty contrast is present--
ed to the eye from those days, who:
the wild Indian roamed o’er these hills
and forests, and when our revolution-
ary forefathers dwelt in their humble
abodes. Animated by those sterling
qualities which our forefathers have
transmitted to their descendants—hon-
esty. prese‘verauee and industry, the
people of this section of New England
have built up here a large thriving city
of eighteen thousand inhabitants.
Norwalk may be said to embrace two
cities. Upper and Lower Norwalk, both
having several streets, blocks of stores,
factories. banks, post offices and rail-
road depots. These two cities are con~
nected by the Norwalk horse railroad,
which traverses West avenue. the main
street and avenue. upon which are
many elegant residences, and which is
bordered by large elms. To the right
of Upper Norwalk stands the spacious
public green. covered with immense
elms which have stood for generations. ‘
Around this green are several fine
churches and many Old residences. rich
in memories of the successive genera-
tions of families who have inhabited
them, and many distinguished names,
honored in our country’s history, can
trace back their lineage to these old
ancestral homes of Norwalk, such as
Gould, Hoyt. General ‘Villiam T. Sher-
man, Chancellor Kent. Abram J arvas,
second Protestant Episcopal Bishop of
Connecticut, Dr. Timothy Dwight,
president of Yale University. Hon.
William M. Evarts and others.
Few of our ‘coast cities and towns
have made greater progress within the
last few years than Norwalk. It is now
well sewered, is supplied with pure soft
water from two lakes. Its streets are
being widened. macadamizcd and fur-
nished with gas and electric lights. It
has excellent postal facilities, and is
accessible easily by no less than fifteen
trains at day on the New York and New
Haven road. Some four hundred
houses have been erected within the
past year. It is well supplied with
churches and schools. It has a charm-
ing society, which is receiving frequent
accessions from other towns. and we
know of no place that can.surpass Nor-
walk in the beauty of its seaside and
inland drives.

we have secured a regular cus-

There are a few plain facts
that people must learn if they

chasers. The first is that price
means nothing till you see the
goods; that an overcoat or suit
of any mentioned fabric costs
$25 in one store and $15 in
another tells you nothing.
