The report was approved by the board of trade and the committee cirected to take Steps towards bringing the batter be- fore the legislature, which was dono. The prominent citizens of the Sunny- side district presented a petition t» | the common counci] to have the mat- ter of annexation brought before fhe general assembly, and practically all the residents of Sunnyside are in favor of the annexation. 80 Houses at Sunnyside. The section called Sunnyside is about & half mile square and includes about 80 houses and a population of several hundred. Attorney Comstock showed a plan of the section. Would Not Force Norwich Town. Mr. Fanning said that although the board of trade favored the annexation of both the Norwich Town and Sunny side districts, it appears that many of the residents of Norwich Town are opposed to the proposition of annex- ing that section to the city. In view of this strenuous opposition Mr. Fan- ning said that the board of trade did not wish to force the matter arbitra- rily, but that it did stand strongly 'n favor of taking into the city the Sun- nyside section. Personally, Mr. Fan- ning said he felt that the annexation would be a good thing for the people of Norwich Town. The gencral senti- ment of the whole city favors annexa- From developments at the hearings before the cities and boroughs com- mittee of the state leglslature at Hart- ford at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon it seems assured that the portion of the town known as Sunnyside will become & part of fhe city of Norwich and what was even more pronounced was the fact that there would undoubted- 1y be no consolidation of the govern- ments of the city and town of Nor- wich. The resolution introduced by Senator C. S. Avery providing for the consolidation’ of the two governments was knocked as dead as a nail when 30 or 40 residents of the city and town appeared before the committee to volce their protests, while not one solitary individual put himself on record in favor of consolidation. Annexation of the Sunnyside section by the city eeemed generally desired, as but one protested over such action, and his protest was withdrawn when he found that he had misunderstood the conditions. The bill introduced by Representative John F. Craney provid- ed for the annexation of both Sunny- side and the Norwich Town and Bean Hill sections, but there was much op- position to the annexation of the latter ferritory, with none pressing it strons- y. There was a delegation of about 40 from Norwich at the hearing, includ- ing Mayor T. C. Murphy. Corporation Counsel Fanning, Attorney Charles W. Comstock, President J. C. Macpherson of the Board of Trade, City Engineer George E. Pitcher and Herbert R. Branche, vice president of the Busi- n = T and Mr. Bean was rather of the .opin- o (haT ne s e Aot he opIn” 'neas \Men's assaclation. tion of Sunnyside. ment might be expected this week.

Ofpesition to- Cenmoljdatien President Macpherson of the boarl Corporation Counsel Fanning said that the Board of Trade was opposed to the consolidation of the city and town governments. Presicent Mac- pherson of the Board of Trade stat:d that that organization was the spon- sor-of the bill for annexation of the Sunnyside and Nerwich Town districts, but that it was oppesed to the consoli- dation of town and city. The tws suburbs mentioned, he said, were re- ceiving city bemefits without eity taxes. Claimed Hearing Not Advertised.
