 s. NORWALK WONDERS
New Ordinance Prohibits Parking, But Does Not Specify What Is
 Included.

South Sorwalk, Aug. 4.--The police no longer finger in the streets, tho stray dog or cat seems apprehensive while midnight oil is being burned by the legal minds of the city who are graphing with the weighty subject of just what new city ordinance means by the word vehicle.
 Attorney William A. Griffin, Jr., att tackled the validity of the new ordi- nance in court this morning and a special session of the court will be held next Monday to further consider the matter.
 The mystery of the whole matter which has set Norwalk a-thinking as she never thought before, is that the new ordinance prohibits. between cer- tain hours. the parking of vehicles within certain areas.
 No distinction is made whether the vehicle for transportation is per sons feet. a baby carriage. a horse and wagon. an automobile or a troll ley car. hence the doubt in the minds of all. as to whether they are liable 10 arrest if they stop for a minute or two.
