without suit, which has never been paid. if
their claims or any of them are valid and en-
forceable under the provisions of Chapter
CCCXVIII. of the public acts of 1895; and after
said parties claims are fully paid, or receipts
for the same are shown. to pay ’LDY other like
claims that may be presented. The Selectmen
shall produce to any person or his representa-
tive making claim under said Chapter of the
Public Acts, any receipt. release or voucher
of the town, upon demand; and the Selectmen
may, at their discretion. publish once. the.
names, dates and amounts of any such receipts
of persons making a claim against the Town V
' of Nor Walk for bounties.
The sum of twenty thousand dollars or any
further sum is hereby appropriated from any
monies in the Town Treasury. or so much
thereof as is necessary to pay said unpaid
bounty claims. or if there is not sufficient
funds in the Town Treasury, then the Select-
men are instructed to borrow, on the credit of
the town. necessary funds to pay the said
bounty claims under this vote.
Selectman Selleck immediately rose
to his feet, and said. that it would make
no difi'erencc what the result of the vote
was, for if the claimants were entitled
to the money it would be paid to them,
and if not they would not receive it.
Mr. Gray said that, under the act of
the legislature of 1895, claimants may
bring action against the town to re-
cover their claims. The point, he said,
which he wished to make was, that in
case suit was brought, the selectmen
would be called upon to defend the
The resolution was simply that
just claims he paid without the neces-
sity of a suit. He said that he had been
given to understand that the selectmen
held receipts against some of the claim-
ants, which they refused to show. He
did not think such refusal just to the
old soldiers, who wanted to act in a
business like manner. If the amount
was not justly due they did not want it.
Mr. Selleck explained that the whole
matter would be placed in the hands of
the town attorney. If a soldier can
bring satisfactory evidence that he had
not been paid hevwould get. whatever
was due him, but the town did not pro-
pose paying them two or three times
over. "
This brought Caleb Wood, a one-
armed veteran, to his feet who said, I
don’t like the slur that old soldiers
Want to in0 paid two or three times over.
This claim was for a bounty voted in
1862. He did not: think any soldier
would get down so low as to ask for
what was not due him.
Mr. Selieifli \' Mined that he had no
'ntentcf cast” . our on‘ any soldier.
Charles 1“. rlallock said that the
claims were due for bounties offered in
186 l—’62 and f63. I and othei‘s never refi
ceived the bounty. ‘He said that at the
time the bounty was voted a certain
“public spiritei ”'man cauScd an in~
junction to be placed on the payment of
the same. I have a right to the $100
he added, and I don’t believe the town
will refuse the payment of the same.
Previous boards had saddled it off on
the incoming boards. An“ attempt was
made at the time a previous bounty was
paid, to get the old soldiers to sign off
all claims, but in most instances it
failed to work. They could now go to
the courts and it would be ordered
paid. I .
B. W. Maples thought the resolutio
a fair one. If the claims were proven,
as they must be, they ought to be paid,
and ,he moved the passage of the reso-
lution, which Was then unanimously
adopted. .
The next business before the meeting
was .
To hear the annual report: to lay thean
nual State and Town taxes: to make the an-
nual appropriation for the support ofg‘the
schools: to make the annual appropriation for
,b
the care of the highways. ..
/
Selectman Selleck explained that a
new system had been adopted which,
he thought, covered what tbelresolution
called for. , ,
Attorney Eonnecker was in favor o
the resolution With the elimination of
the names of those persons who receive
aid from the town.
After some further discussion : the
resolution was adopted. '
Attorney Gray made a motion that
the annual report‘be accepted, but Mr.
Maples said that a report that leaves
unmentioned a deficit of anywhere from
$10,000 to $12,000 ought not to be ac-
cepted, and if accepted would release
the old board from all legal obligations
that might arise in the future. The re.
port Was therefore rejected.
The report of Town Treasurer Wil-
liam A. Curtis was unanimously ac
cepted. . '
Selectman Selleck stated that the
grand list footed up about $13,000,000.
He thought that a five mill tax would
meet all of the requirements of the
town for the coming year. He said
that u number of bills which had been
outstanding for tWO years had been
paid. A five mill tax would cover the
needs unless some unlocked for expense
should come along.
In answer to a question he replied
that the present indebtedness of the
town was about $350.00!) an increase
of $50,000 within the last two years.
A tax of five mills was then laid.
The sum of $42,880 was appropriated
for the public schools, of which amount
$1,000 was for the evening school.
On motion or General Olmstead the
usual number of School Visitors report
Was ordered printed under the direction
of the Selectmen.
Burr Smith made a motion that the
highways. After some discussion the
motion was amended to read 87,000 and
was then passed.
The town tax was made payable on
September 1. . ’
The next business was
To authorize the Town Clerk to cause to
be copied‘the first book of the Town Proceed-
ings and to make an appropriation therefore.
Thefllerk explained that there would
be money enough left from the amount
appropriated for indexing the town
records, and he was instructed to have
the work done. - '
There was considerable discussion,
over the following matter:
To authorize the Selectmen to cause to
be constructed a continuation of the stone
road on the Connecticut Turnpike. as provided
by Chap. CCXV of the Public Acts of the
State, of 1895. and to,make the necessary ap-
propriation therefor.
Charles F. Hallock presented the fol—
lowing resolntion, which was passed:
RESOLVED, That the Selectmen be author-
ized and directed to improve. according to
the provisions of Chapter CCCXV, of the.
Public Acts of the State of Connecticut.
passed at the January session of the General
Assembly, in the year 1895 entitled "An Act
to Provide for the Improvement of the Pub-
lic llcads."a certain highway known as the
Connecticut Turnpike. beginning at the city
line of the city of South Norwalk. about 140
feet west of Taylor Avenue, and extending
easterly as far as can be done with the sum of
money appropriated. Therefore,
RESOLVED, That there be appropriated from
the town treasury for said improvement the
sum of $3,003 or so much thereof as may be
necessary in order to secure the fullest return
from the state and county‘ under the provis-
ions of said act. ,
The last business before the meeting
was _
To determine and fix the salaries of all
Town ofiicers whose salaries are not fixed by
the Statute laws of the State.
Mr. Maples presented a resolution
fixing the salary of the first selectman
at $1,500; and the second and third se-
leetmen at $1,000 each.
Gen. Olmstead inquired what the
present salaries of the selectmen- were
but did not succeed in eliciting the de-
sired information.
Attorney -Walsh said that he had
searched the town records for the de-
sired information, but had failed in
getting any satisfaction. The search.
covered a period of twenty years. He
found. however, that the salaries in
1872 were $600’4'mch, and 1832, $1,000,
and $100 each for the other two.
Gen. Olmstead said that he. too, had
been searching the records and found
the salaries in 1877 at $1,000; in 1878 ‘at
$600;1879'at$1,000; 1882 at $1,000 for
first selectman and $100 each'fnr the
other two. Evidently, he said, the
selectmen have fixed their own salaries.
but the amounts do not appear. '
Selectman Selleck said that he did
not want the office for the amount of
salary attached to it, but had taken it
for the purpose of breaking up the
ring that was condueting the 'town af-\
fairs, and expressed himself as believ-
_ing that theitaxpayers wchld find some ,

sum of $5,000 be appropriated for‘the ‘
and are troubled with Dizzy
to the original motion, by fixing the
salary of the first selectman at 81,200
per year, and that of the other two at
$900 each, the same to apply in refer.
once to the salary of the present board.
The amendment was accepted and the
resolution prevailed. ,
The salary of the board of assessors
was fixed at 8150 each, and that of. the
board of relief at $50 each.
The meeting then adjourned.
