The New Cour-tat Burgesses Hold
Their First Meeting.
The Police Matter Deferred.
The Court oi Burgesses for 1893,
which was sworn in on Monday lust,
held its first meeting, for the transuc-_
tion of business, last evening.
'lhe Warden and full board
present. _
The lobby was packed With humanity
were
. all wearing a look of eager expectancy,
as if something out of the ordinary was
about to occur. What that something
was is not positively known, but from
the downcast look worn by some of the
visitors when the matter of police ap-
pointments was reached and deferred
until the next meeting, we opine that
matter entered largely into the “ mag-
net ” that drew the Court.
If anyone present expected to w'tness
an "extraordinarily lively session of
the Court they were doomed to disap-
pointment. Everything worked as
smoothly as a piece of Well lubrica-
ted machinery, and the only matter up-
on which there was any appreciable
differences with the Court was when
the matter of how the borough clerk
and some other few offices should be
filled, that difference being as to wheth-
er they should be elected Tova vooe or
by ballot, the democratic members be-
ing in favor of the former and the re- .
publicans of the latter. The Court be-
ing equally divided, the matter was set-
tled (for the time being anyhow) by
the Warden voting in favor oi the‘i‘or-
mer plan.
Warden Sloan presided with much
dignity, without any apparent nerVous-
ness, and did much to expedite the
business brought before the meeting.
After calling the Court to order he
said:
Gentlemen of the Cour! of'Burqcsscs .-
To our hands the people of the Bor-
ough have entrusted the conduct of the
Borough’s business for the year which
has just begun. The business of the
Borough is not so large nor so difficult
as to require anything beyond ordinary
common sense
I think we have come together with
the united desire to give _ the Borough
good highways. This is important, not
only to those who ride for pleasure, but
to every business man who uses a deliv-
ery Wagon, and to every truckman,
The Borough has macadamized West
avenue. paved a portion of Main street
and authorized the macadamizing of
the rest of it. While the first cost of
these improvements makes the tax pay-
ers shudder, still the moneyspent year-
ly for repairs will grow less as we have
theSe improvements of a permanent
kind.
No one who has Norwalk’s best in-
terests at heart Will for a moment he.
grudge the cost of extending, improv-
ing and increasing the supplypf water
of our water works. The qualitv of our
water is excellent, and. now we must
have an abundant supply for household
and fire purposes.
I think we should deal generously
with our Fire Department. The ser-
vices of its members are voluntary and
their duties often dangerous. I believe
they should have the best kind of fire-
fighting tools, kept in the best of re-
)ull‘.
I In Brooklyn the insurance compa-
nies have advanced rates because of the
inefficient fire department. I Say,
therefore. give the boys good tools and
then if they don’t ,do good work we
shall know where to lay the blame.
Application has been made for a city
charter to include the more thickly
settled portions of the town. If that
could be done we would have a City of
Norwalk that would compare favorably
with other places. ’ .
My predecessor has appomted a com-
mittee to work up this plan and we
should give them all the help we can.
If the plan‘ of a united city should fall
through, we shall probably change our
' Borough into a City and enlarge our
boundaries.
The legislature may so change the
law that boroughs Will have the secret
ballot law, it not I think this court
should enact a secret ballot law of its
own and give us the advantages of a
quiet election.
No one who has noticed the diii'erence
between the quietand orderly elections
as held in the town house and the scrap-
ping at the borough elections would
wish that our style of borough election
should be kept up. ,
The borough has quite a large float-
ing debt upon which it is paying from
45 to 5 per cent interest and as these
notes are payable on demand the 'bor-
ough is at the mercy of its creditors
who thus far have been as kind as could
e. ,
I would suggest that we get authority
from the legislature to fund this debt
which can be done at 4 per cent.
Unless we raise more money by tax-
ation we cannot do much more than
pay the interest on our debt.
In conclusion let me say taht we are
here as business men to do the business
of'the Borough which we should ; try
to do to the best of our ability.
We may not always agree as to men
and the way business should be done,
but I feel sure that the duties of the
presiding officer will not be unpleasant.
The minutes of the meetings of the
Court for last month were read by
Clerk Hurlbutt, and approved.
The Court then proceeded to ballot
for seniority of burgesses; The first
ballot resulted in the choice of Charles
L. Glover for; senior burgess; four bal-
lots Wei‘e taken for second burgess re-
sulting in the election of E. H. Fillow ;
five ballots were taken for third posi-
tion on the board, the last one result-
ing in a tie between Charles E. Squire
and William A. Vogel. which was bro-
ken by Warden Sloan casting a vote for
Mr. Squire; The others were elected
on the first ballot in the following or-
der, J. H. Buckley, A. A. Chinery and
William A. Vogel. ‘
Warden Sloan then announced the
following committees : . ‘ -
Finance—Glover, Vogel, Fillow. ;
Highways—Fillow, Squire, Chinery.
Sewers—Squire, Buckley, 'Glover.
Lights—'Buckley. Glover, Vogel.
Police-+Vogel, Chinery, Squires,
Fire—Chinery, Fillow, Buckley. .
Burgess Fillow then presented a reso-
lution in effect that Mr. James T. Hub-
bell be elected Borough clerk by viva
pace vote, . . . . .. , _
Burgess Buckley objected and wanted
theselection for the office to be‘mfile
by ballot, as had be done in previous
ears. He also. was in doubt as-to the
egality of a yotc in any other form.”

Mr. Lew Warner was electedBor-

Ihe name of Samuel L. Weed was pre-
sentedtor the office of assistant clerk;
the vote resulted in a tie, and the
Warden then voting for Mr. Weed he
was declared elected.
Charles N. Wood was elected Bor-~
ough surveyor by a unanimous vote of
the board.
It was then moved that the board of
assessors be elected by ballot. Two
ballots were taken for the first member
on the board.
Charles Olmste received3 votes as
did also William H. Olmstcad ;. the
Warden then Voted for the latter gen-
tleman and he was declared elected.
For second place on the board Charles
Olmstead received (5 votes, andl for
third place P. W. Bates received a like
nufnber and both were declared elec-
tec .
The voting forthe board of relief re-
sulted in the election of J umes Suther- .
land, Isaac Selleck and John H. Wade.
On motion of Burgess Buckley the
nominations of J. Thornton Prowitt
tor chief engineer, Fred W. Smith for
first assistant and Thomas Osborne sec-
ond assistant, were ratified. -
The names of Patrick Slattery, Gus-
tave A. Frank and Fred E. Lockwood
were presented for the oflice of fire in-
spector. _ The vote resulted in the elec-
-ion of Mr. Lockwood.
. Mr. F. J. McKeon was elected health
inspector on a second balloting.
Charles Gehebe received the unani-
mons vote of the board for the office
of. pound-keeper, as did also James
- Gordon for the office of hayward.
The names of S. C. Pattison, John
F. Lovejoy and D.“ Seymour Curtis
were presented as applicants for the of-
fice of superintendent of sewers. Mr.
Curtis received five of the votes cast
and was declared elected.
On motion of Burgess Chinery, War-
den Sloan was instructed to call a bor-
ough meeting for Monday, January 16,
at :5 o’clock afternoon, for the purpose
of laying a borough tax and transact-
ing any other business proper to be
brought before said meeting.
' The following bills were ordered
paid: John H. Hoyt, $37.50; George
S. Aiken, 2383; N. Y., N. H. A; H. Rail-
road, $25.76 ; Levi Warner, 35156. 20 ;

A letter was read from Attorney Levi
Warner in reference to the suit of the
Norwalk Gas Co. vs. the Borough of
Norwalk, in which he is retained as at-
torney by the borough, asking that a
committee from the present Courtbf
Burgesses be appointed to confer With
him in reference to the matter. On
motion, the finance committee were ap-.
pointed such committee with power to
secure another attorney to act with Mr.
Warner in defending the suit.
The report of the chief of police was
read and ordered on file.
A communication was received from
Rhody McGinnis, offering to .keep the
borough clear of ashes and other refuse
for 7 per week, and to clean the catch-
basins for $1.25 each. It was referred
to committee on sewers. ’
Burgess Glover asked in reference to
the condition of East avenue, near the
Earle place which he understood
had been left in a dangerous. condition
by the Tramway company in’ laying
their tracks. No action was taken in
the matter.
It was voted that the balance of
money, $42.54.. due~ A. Bach on his sew-
er contract on the Connecticut turn-
pike be paid. '
Warden Sloan stated that he had sev-
eral applications for appointments on
the police force, but the matter was de-
ferred Without any action being taken.
The chairman of the finance commit-
tee was instructed to borrow $1,000 for
current expenses, and give borough
notes for the same.
The sum of $100 was voted for current
expenses on the highway.
