Clerk Wanner Resigns and Retires,
and the Highway Committee
Placed Under Fire.
A Heated Meeting ofthe Board.
Never in the history of the Borough
of Norwalk has there been such excite-
ment as at Monday’s meeting of the
Court of Burgesses. Warden Keeler
called the Court to order, at 8 o’clock
and the minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved. As soon as
Warder Keeler announced the approv-
al of the minutes Clerk Warner handed
the Warden a paper, which he said he
desired to have laid before the Court.
Warden Keeler unfolded the paper and
read as follows :
To THE WARDEN AND BURGESSES OF THE
BOROUGH OF NORWALK :
I hereby resign the office of Clerk of
the Borough Of Norwalk.
' LEVI \VARNER.
Borough Of Norwalk, Aug. 3, 1891.
As the last word was read by the
Warden, Clerk \Varner, with hat in
hand, was disappearing through the
doorway.
Burgess O’Reilly immediately moved
that the resignation be not accepted
and that a committee be appointed to
wait upon Mr. \Varner and request him
to reconsider his action, which was
passed unanimously, and Burgesses
O’Reilly and Kent were appointed as
the committee, the Court taking a re-
cess of ten minutes to await their re—
turn. During the absence of the com—
mitteemuch talk was indulged in by
members of the Court, Burgess Van—
derhoef, in particular seeming to feel
that perhaps he was indirectly the
cause of Mr. Warner’s action. In de-
fence, however, he stated that the
Highway Committee had been consid-
erably bothered by Mr. Warner’s ab-
sence from his office and his failure to
keep the Court of Burgess records
, posted to date. During this informal
discussion the Committee returned and
stated that they had seen Mr. Warner
and that he had positively refused to
return, and upon motion of Burgess
Burr, his resignation was accepted.
The election of a new Clerk was post-
poned until the next meeting, and As-
sistant Clerk Montgomery was request-
ed to act as Clerk until a new Clerk
was elected. '
The following bills were then order—
ed paid, R. N. Morehouse $.28, C.
Adams $32, J. H. Gormley $32,Wallace
Dann $8, '1‘. Howard $32, Mike Whalen
$12.50, Pat Kearney $45, David Shee-
han $28.20, John Murphy $15.45, M.

S. Curtis $60, Owen Shannon $3, R. M.
McGinnis $73.20, N. & S. N. Electric
Light Co. $481.75, Gas CO. $21.33. J.
Day $15, Chas. Addison 38, D. B. Con-
nolly for work on parks $16. 50, A. Mil-
ler .556, D. H. Weeks $3,J. Keegan $15.-
45. The bill,$2l,of Hope Hose Compa-
ny for laying hose was referred to the
Chairman Of the Fire. Committee. It
was also voted to discontinue the three
remaining lamp lights now 1n use in
the borough.
When the bill of D. Connally $247.88
for work on highway was read, Burgess
O’Reilly said, “Mr. \Varden, there are
rumors on the street that the Borough
of Norwalk is filling in the property of
a member of this Court at the expense
of the Borough, and I want to know if
it is so 9” This shot brought Mr. Van
derhoef to the front, who stated that
Col. Roberts consented to have the
dirt, being removed from the several
‘ improvements about East avenue,
dumped upon his driveway, which they
had done, but when the driveway was
filled there was no other place to dump
the dirt and he had told them that they
might put it in his back lot, which they
had done. but the dumping Of dirt in
his lot had been of no benefit to him,
but a saving of money to the 3orough.
He also stated that Mr. Cram wanted
the dirt. but the haul was too long.
Mr. O’Reilly stated that he did not Ob-
ject to the dumping Of dirt in the place
mentioned by Mr. Vanderhoei, but he
did object to working on a little street
four or five hundred feet iii length
with nine men and teams, for eight
. days when the main streets chthe Bor—
ough was in a horrible condilion. Mr.
Vanderhoef stated that this Idirt was
rock and stone and could notI be used
on the Borough streets. O’Reilly
again objected to working even or
eight days on a little street li .e Beacon
avenue, when the Borough stfeets were
in such a horrible conditionI . Chair-
man Bowe, of the Highway Cbmmittee,
explained that one of the rasons for
working this avenue was to oen prop-
erty back of said avenue, be nging to
Mr. Lockwood, which wo ld bring
more property into the Bordigh. Mr.
Lockwood had promised to open a road
through to the town farm his own
expense. Mr. O’Reilly did of propose
to pay for trimming Bea on street,
which runs in the rear of te Vander-
hoef place, up like a lawn, Iw'ith trees
in the middle Of the street At this
point in the discussion 1\ . John J.
Hanlon asked permission say that
the Borough line did not un within
ten feet of where Mr. Bow thought it
did. and the fixing of Be on avenue
would benefit Mr. Lockmod solely.
Also that the gravel ex vated- had
been sought after by a p 'ty who of-
fered 25 or 30 cents a loac for it, but
instead of selling, it had en (lumped
upon Mr. Vanderhoef’s l , which had
'tO a beautiful, glossy brown.

W.
been a skating pond and which was be-
ing filled at the Borough expense.
He also said that ex-postmaster Gold-
ing had Offered 25 cents a load for these
rocks and could not get them. Mr.
Bowe here interrupted to say that Mr.
Golding did not offer anything of the
kind, nor had any one ever offered him
or the Committee a cent for- the dirt.
Mr.GOlding had, through Mr. Hanlon’s
uncle, Offered to take the dirt, but that
when the Committee was ready to ex-
cavate, Mr. Hanlon had secured dirt
elsewhere and did not want 1t, conse-
quently he had ordered the dirt dumped
.into Mr. Vanderhoef’s lot, that being
the shortest haul-and most convenient
place. Mr. Vanderhoef said we could
do so if we could not find a. more suit-
able place. . Mr. Vandcrhoef corrobo-
rated Mr. Rowe and said that the Bor-
ough had not worked a foot of his prop-
erty. .
In answer to the lVarden he said
that if Mr. Connolly continued to fill in
his lot itwould not increase its value a
dollar. He did not propose to have it
insinuated that he was robbing the
Borough and having his property im-
proved at the expense of the Borough,
and when he was assailed on all sides
by such accusations, he proposed to an-
swer them and vindicate himself, else
he would leave the court. He had al-
lowed the Borough to dump the rock
and stone in his back lot, simply to
save the expense of a long haul to
some other locality and whenhe had
endeavored to save money to the Bor-
ough, he did not like to be accused of
having robbed the Borough.
The Warden said he had been in-
formed that work was to have been
done on Beacon avenue at an expense
of not over $75, which appeared to be
just half of what it had been done for,
and he took exception to the Borough
being compelled to pay twof or three
hundred dollars for work that could be
done for $75. At this point of the heat-
ed discussion Burgess Kent ofi'ered a
resolution to appoint a committee to
investigate the Connolly bill and the
work of the Highway committee and to
report at the next meeting. Power was
also to be given to the committee to
pay the bill if found correct. The vote
on this resolution was a tie and it was
passed by the vote of Warden Keeler.
Burgesses O’Reilly, Buxton and Burr
were appointed and will hold their first
meeting this evening.
The bill Of A. Bach, $91.17, was re-
ferred to the Chairman of the Highway
Committee with power to pay if found
correct. The bill Of C. N. Wood as
borough .surveyor, to the amount of
$150.24, was ordered paid.
An invitation to attend the parade of
the trades union on Labor Day was
read and accepted.
C. M. Daniels appeared with a peti-
tion remonstrating against the delay
in curbing and sidewalking Chestnut
street. Mr. Daniels explained the con-
dition of the street and the length of
time the orders from the court had
been allowed to remain unnoticed.
Mr. Hart also complained about the
condition of Hendricks avenue. Both
matters were referred.
A characteristic letter was received
from Mr. George Clark, complaining
of the lack of light, police protection.
(other than his dogs,) and the cow
path for a road, in the neighborhood
Of “Clarke’s Folly.” The several com-
plaints were ordered separated and re-
ferred to their appropriate committees.
A petition .was received requesting
that a park be made of the triangular
piece of ground at the intersection of
\Vard and Main streets, which was laid
on the table.
Chief Prowitt appeared with his as-
sistants and presented their report on
the Pioneer H. and L. company trou-
bles. The chief recommended that the
company be disbanded and reorgan‘
ized. but the matter was finally re-
ferred to the Fire Committee and the
Board Of Engineers to report at the
next meeting Of the court.
In regard to the communication Of
Raymond Brothers in the matter of es~
tablishing their fence line on Smith
street, it was decided that the High.
way Committee and engineer would
visit that street in a few days and look
it over.
Burgess Kent reported that the N or-
walk & South Norwalk Electric Light
Company had offered to light the fire
department houses at an expense of one
cent per hour per light, the wiring to
be done free, but as the Gas Light CO.
desired to bid for the same, it wa
again referred.
The Finance Committee was author-
ized to take up the borough notes in
the Southport bank at 4 per cent, and
replace them with notes at 5 per cent,
the bank having refused to continue
them at 4 per cent.
After the police report had been ac—
cepted the court adjourned for two
weeks.
