THEIR FIRST IIIEETING The New Court of Burgesses In Session—A New Clerk And An Entire New Police Force Elected. Mr. Hyatt Downs Mr. Maples. The first meeting of the Court of Burgesscs of ’92 was1 Monday held even— ing. A lar ge crowd was present to witness the opening session, among the most conspicuous being ex-Wa1dens Keeler, Hyatt and Coolidge. Roddy McGinnis and B. W. Maples. \Varden Kimmey reeled off the business before the Court as if he was an old hand at it, and the entire Court presented a very fine appearance. Considerable surprise wasmanifested when the police force was elected, and it was found that an entire new set of men were to be employed, and a good deal of censure was expressed by Re- publicans present that the Court should have elected a force composed almost completely of Democrats. The Court was called to order at 7:32 o’clock by the Warden, who delivered the following address : “You have been elected and me now about to assume the responsibilities of conducting the aflairs of the Borough fol the year 1892. I have no doubt that you appieciate the hon01 conferred upon 1011 and 11 ill dischaige your duties with fidelit1. As i01 myself, I shall endeavoi to discharge the duties that may devolve upon me, with youI assistance and co- operation, to the best of my ability, hoping that at the close of our term of office. we may have succeeded In conducting the afiairs of the Bo1ough in such a manner as to merit the confidence that has been 1e- posed in us.’ ‘It has been intimated to me that I wear a collar about my neck. I ha1e been eh cted \Va1den of the Borough of Nor 11 alk, and will submit to no (lie- tation save to get advice.” At the close of the Warden’s address the minutes of the last meeting of the Court of 1801 were read by Clerk Hub- bell and approved. The seniority of the Burgesses was determined by ballot as follows: 1st Burgess,Elbert S; Adams; 2d Burgess, Robert Green: 3d Burgess, William A. Ambler; 4th Burgess, John H. Buck- ley; 5th Burgess, Alfred A. Chinery, Jr. ; 6th Burgess, Charles Squires. The I’Varden announced the following standing committees : Finance—Adams, Buckley, Green. Highway—Green, Adams, Buckley. Lights—Buckley, Chinery, Squires. Police—Ambler, Squires, Adams. Fire~Chinery, Green, Ambler. Sewer—Squires, Ambler, Chinery. Applications from Robert N. More- house, Wallace Dann,GeOrge L. North- rop, John H. Gormley, Charles E. Adams an Timothy J. Howard for positions on the Police Force were read. I The Court then proceeded to the election of officers, with the following result : Borough Clerk and Attorney—J. Bel- den Hurlbutt. Ass’t Borough Clerk—Edward M. Lockwood. Borough Surveyor—Chas. N. Wood Borough Assessors—A. J. Meeker, Geo. B. St. John and Burr Smith. Board of Relief—Henry Selleck, F. B. Gregory and P. W. Bates. Fire Inspector—Fred. E. Lockwood. Health Inspector—Jarvis Kellogg Pound Keeper—Charles Gehebe. Hayward——James Gordon. Supt. of Sewers—D. S. Curtis. Chief of Police—«Albert DeForest. lst Patrolman—Wallace Dann. 2d Patrolman—Albert A. Martin. 3d Patrolman—George L. Northrop. Special Policeman—Lewis R. June. Special Policeman—Charles Gehebe. The new policemen will take the oath of office on Monday, Feb. 1st. The nominations made by the Fire Department of J. T. Prowltt, Francis McKeon J r., and John L. Kelley, for Chief Engineer, 1st Ass’t Engineer and 2d Ash’t Engineer, respectively, were confirmed. A communication from William E. Treasurer of the Water Fund,was read. The resignation was accepted, and J. Arthur Pinneo appointed in Mr. Mont- gomery’s place. Ex-Warden Keeler spoke of the case of the building of E. J. Wadhams on Wall street, which came over from the old Court, and said that the last addition put on the building by Mr. Wadhams was not in accordance with the building regulations. and ad- vised the Court as to what was best to do in the matter. After considerable discussion the case was left with the Warden, the Fire Committee and the Borough Attorney,with power. The bond of Clarence B. Coolidge elected as Water Commissioner was re- ceived, accepted and approved, as were . likewise the bonds of J. Arthur Pinneo * and Charles E. Adams as Treasurer of the Borough and Borough Bailiff. Mr. B. W. Maples was heard on the proposed designation of building lines on Maple street and Lynes Place. He said that the former Court had ordered all owners of property 01' those inter- ested in the property 011 these streets, upon which it is proposed to designate certain lines, to appear before the new Court at their first meeting. He then instructed the Court as to what their ' first move in the matter should be. . At this point the following communi— cation from Dr. Frank T. Hyatt, who Owns property next to Mr. Maples on Montgomery, resigning the position of ' Mr. Maples, no love is lost, was read: To the :Hon. Warden and Conrt of Burgesaes: GENTLEMEN: I understand that [Mr. Maples made a statement to the Court that has just retired, that I was to erect houses on my property on Maple street and Lynes Place, flush on the line. This statement I claim to be false and unworthy of notice. I' also under- stand that he obtained the signatures to the petition asking that a line might be established, by the same misrepre- sentation. It seems to me that if a line were to be established it should have been done when the street was first opened or soon thereafter, when Mr. Maples would have had to conform with the met. It 1s a well known fact that Mr. Maples’ house 13 the only one on the street that IS entirely out of line. and also out of grade, and was the com- mon talk at the time of all passing that way. I can not believe that the present Court can conscientiously expend ‘the public money to survey Maple street and Lynes Place for the purpose of establishing building lines for the sole gratification of Mr. Maples. As I have the only unimploved property on the stiect, the Court can readily see Mr. Maples’ object. Respectfully, F. T. HYATT. Mr. Maples said that the communi- cation was correct with the exception that the only signatures he had ob- tained were those of Mr. John H. Wade and himself. The petition which he had presented at a session of the for- mer Conrt, was signed by every resi- dent on the South side of Maple street and by all but three persons residing on the North side. He thought his house was on a line with the other houses on the street ; he had instructed the builder to put it on a line with them and he supposed the instructions had been carried out. Mr. Hyatt’s inten- tion was, he said, to put up two tene- ment houses on the lot next to his; he was going to erect as cheap houses as possible and rent them to tenants at $10 a month. He, Mr. Maples, did not want his property destroyed by this class of houses. Burgess Buckley said fthat as there was some question as to the authority of the Court to change the lines, he would move to lay the matter on the table. This motion was seconded. Mr. Maples said that if the Court would grant him a few moment. he could easily show them the authority. The Warden asked him on what authority he stated that Mr. Hyatt would erect tenement houses. Mr. Maples—“I have Mr. word that he intends to do so.” The Warden—~“And I have Mr. Hyatt’s word that he does not intend to do so.” Mr. Maples wanted time to show the Court that they could change the line, but Burgess Buckley thought that it was getting late and Burgess Adams demanded the “question” 011 the tabling of the matter and it was unani- mously tabled. The following bills were ordered paid: NORWALK GAZETTE $6.50, J. A. Pinneo $1.65, J. Donovan $18.75, Wm. E. Dann 31.25, P. H. Skidmore $26.85, Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light Co. $418.75 Norwalk Gas Light Co. $17.67, George S. Aiken $50. The bill of D. Conley, $148.50 for work done on highways from Dec. 2lst to Dec. 31st, was referred to the chair- man of the Highway Committee with power. A11 order for one hundred dollars each, was drawn in favor of the Chairman of the Highway Committee and the Chairman of the Sewer Com- mittec for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the Borough in their re- spective departments during the pres- ent month. The Warden was authorized to call a Borough meeting for the purpose of laying a poll-tax and paying the inter- est due on the Borough debt; also the Water fund debt, the meeting to be called for Jan. 20th, at 3 o’clock p. m. As there was no further busmess, on motion of Burgess Adams, at 9.55 o’clock, the first meeting of the Court of Burgesses of 1892-, which is expected to make a name for itself by much needed reforms, adjourned. The next meeting will be held Mon- day evening, Feb. 1st. Hyatt’s <7 co. ., _. STATE OF OHIO, CITY or ToLEDo, l LUCAS C,0UNTY FRANK J.

Conferences between the New York and New England and the New York, New Haven and Hartford may Lead to Their Union- The rapid strengthening of the se- curities of the NewYork and New Eng- land Railroad in the stock market in the last two weeks has attracted the at- tention of Wall Street, and various theories have been broached to account for the movement. On Monday this stock led the market in point of activi- ty and showed a gain of 3 per cent, making a total advance of 7 per cent. since the opening of the year. There was little or no tendency to ascribe the movement to stock manipulation, and yesterday the only explanation of the 1apid advance, current on the Street, was the project now under contempla— tion of making the New England a double- track road over at least a large portion of its system, thereby increas- ing its facilities and earnings. The question naturally arose, however, as to where the road would get the money necessary for making such an imp 01 e- ment. The answei to this question, and the explanation of the buoyancy of the stock, are probably one and the same— namely, that theie isa strong movement under way fo1 the coalition of the New York and New England with, 01 its absorption b1, the 3M11 York, New Haven and Hnitford. Plans for putting the New York and New England on a fiunei basis have been talked of f1equc1 tly 1'01 9. yeai or more. When Alexrndei E. Orr, who is a director of the mad, served on the Union Pacific Re-Ol ganization Commit- tee with J. Picipont Meigan, he took advantage of the Opportunity to talk New England plans to M1. Morgan. A possible union of competitive inteiests by coalition with the New Y01k, New Haven and Hartford had not been an unfamiliar topic, it is said in the New York and New England Board meet- ings, though it had5 not been leceived with favor until after the election of Mr. Morgan as a director of the New Haven r0ad last summer. Mr. Orr, it is understood, was instrumental in in- teresting Mr. Morgan in the proposi- tion, and. through the combined efforts of the two capitalists a conference be- tween the representatives of the two roads was arranged. This conference was held last month, and was followed by several similar nieetings, which led to the appointment of a committee by the New York and New England, the the purpose of which as announced was to provide for the improvement of the system. This committee consisted of Alexander E. Orr, Thomas Rutter, Arthur Sewall and William II. Star- buck. The directors of the road will meet to-moriow at the ofiices in the Farmers Loan and Trust Building, to listen to the report of the committee. This report, it is confidently expected, will not confine itself to the published topic of double-tracking the system, but will deal mainly with bthe more im- portant and far- reaching proposition of a consohdation of interests with the New York, New Haven and Hartford. Whether this union of interests, if ef- fected, will be by a joint management of the two roads, or by the absorption of the New York and New England by its more wealthy rival, has not been divulged. W hen the New England paid its obli- gation, which fell due on January 1, financial circles were somewhat sur- prised, as it had not been expected that payments would be made at the time they were due. It was merely said then that the money “had been raised” by the committee. It Is thought possi- ble that the action now contemplated may have had something to do with the meeting of those obligations. Charles Parsons, the president of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg, 1s said to have been a heavy purchaser of New York and New England stock re- cently, the effect of his ord- ~11 5 being seen in the course of the St1_11_ii in the market. Mr. Parsons was associated with Mr. Morgan in the negotiations which resulted 1n the absorption of the Rome, \Vatertown and Ogdensburg by the New York Central. That the re- cent purchases of New England stock were made with like intent, seem prob- able. It was admitted at the office of Drexel, Morgan & 00., yesterday, that conferences with the New York and New England committee had been held. —N. Y. Tribune. Big Deal Spoken Of. The Bridgeport Union says that it has lealned on good authority that an important deal is soon to take place In that city between the New York, New Haven 81. Hartford and Housatonic railroads. By it there will be an ex- change of property satisfactory to both corporations and the roads will not be in the way of each other as at present. The proposed deal means that the Housatonie railroad will exchange its property below the elevator for that opposite the passenger depot recently purchased by the Consolidated railroad from Miller & Strickland and Mr. Gregory. The exchange will place the roads where they will not bother each other. The Consolidated road can carry on its business below the elevator, while the Housatonic will confine its operations above Fairfield avenue. , This will cause a change in the pro- posed location of the new passenger de- pot of the Consolidated railroad. It may be that they intend to carry out the scheme of crossing the harbor. Then the depot may be located in the West end or in the vicinity of South avenue. It is said that only Col. Stevenson and President Clarke know of the ex- change and it will take place within a month. 1 .. __.__.__... .. ..- Help Nature.
