to New haven has been suggested many
times ere this when West Haven had not
reached it's present height of Importance.
The residents of New Haven have never
although several times it look |
ed as though something would be done. |
at the time when part of East |
Haven was annexed to give New Haven |
control of the east side of it's harbor. |
Everything now points towards definite |
movement in favor of making a new town |
of West Haven, and at no distant day; 80
said a leading West Havener yesterday.
A prominent citizen of West Haven
said in an interview yesterday: "The
feeling in favor of making West Haven a
town in itself has been evident long
time. Here we are about to build new
town hall for the town of Orange. I think
the residents of West Haven ought to go
slow. If we are to make town of West
Haven we should wait and save the money
which would be expended in a town hall
for the town of Orange. The people of
West Haven constitute the greater part of
the townspeople of Orange and should be
able to dictate a little. The greater part
of the taxes for the town of Orange come
out of the West Haven people. The taxes
of the new town would be about the same.
This movement would head off the town
of New Haven and prevent them from
reaching out end scooping US in. The
erection of new town hall here might
prove waste of public money if New
Haven people should start up and annex
us to New Haven. The New Haven people
would soon be upon us and We would be
handicapped. Making West Haven town
would effeotually dispose of any move
ment which New Haven would make
against u.s."
A canvass of many of the prominent res
idents of the borough proved that the SEN
timents shown in the above discourse are
taking root among men of note in West
Haven.
The movement for the making of new
township there has not yet taken definite
form, but the people of West Haven are
doing a good deal of thinking. An ex-
official of West Haven said yesterday that
annexation would bring good in its train
as we'll as evil and this ought to be consid-
cred. The borough would gain in fire
| protection and in police protection and in
other ways But the people would ''kick"
| against the inevitable assessments which
would follow in the wholesale street. side
walk and other Improvements which would
| be ordered.
Must Close Tonight.
Mayor Sargent yesterday, notified Fire
Marshal Hubbard that, pending investiga-
ton as to its safeness, the Polo rink must
be closed after to night.
| For Throwing SnowbalIs.
George Davidson, Stephen Human and
Michael and James Barrett were arrested
on warrants yesterday afternoon for throw
| ing snowballs. The offenses were commit
ted few days ago.
