Electric lights!
A Lively Special Borough
Meeting.
The Norwalk a south Nor-walk Electric
(‘0 to “live the Contract on f ontlltlons.
Also \ntsd to Connect the Borough and
(,‘lfy “'ater Works.
Thr- large. crowd of voters that flocked
to the Town House yesterday afternoon
to attend the special borough meeting
called for the purpose of considering the
electric light question made the walls of
the old rookery crcak and groan. Inter-
est in the matter having been worked up
to a high pitch, the crowd anticipated a
hwly time and it was not disappointed.
Warden Coolidge called the meeting
lo order shortly after three o'clock.
After Clerk Perry had read tho call, Mr.
Coolidge made a concise statement of
what had her It done by the Court of
llurgmvs and the committee on lights
in regard to tbe‘nratter since January.
It was the unanimous belief of the Court
of Burgessce, Mr. Coolidge said in con-
clusion, that a smaller light than the one
now in use, would be to the ndtantagc
of the borough.
Tire bids submitted to the Court of
Ilrrrgcsses were then read.
The subject having now been formally
presented to the meeting, Fred Mead was
that upon the floor with the following
resolution:
[10051:]. That the Court of Burgesscs of Norwalk
be authorized to makeacontract for lighting the
highways and parka of the borough complete with
rtcctric lights at an expense not tot-med $5,000
pt r year said contract to be made for two, three or
lli‘r' ycars,as lhoacbt bett by said Court of Bar
passes.
The resolution having been duly sec-
onded, Charles Olmotcad stated that the
reason why the bid of the Norwalk and
South Norwalk Electric Light company
occupied so little space was because the
company had only been asked for terms
for 55, 70 or 75 lights, of the same bril-
liancy as those now in use, to burn from
dusk until one o’clock. lie thought. the
company's bid was fair and reasonable.
John IIonneckcr offered an amend.
mom to tho rcsulution presented by Mr.
Stead, in substance that the Court of
llrrrgmrea be authorized to erect. not less
than 100 nor more than 130 electric lights
of 1,200 candle power, to burn from dusk
until one o'clock 312 nights, at a cast of
$60 each per year.
(lent-ml Couch favored an all night
system, and thought the outskirts of the
borough should be as well lighted as the
main thoroughfare.
Mr IIonnccker Halt it now cost $6, 000
to light tlr- borough Inadequately, and
according to the provisions of his racin-
tion it would cost no more to light It
thoroughly.
Mr. Mead thought. the borough could
not afford to spend that amount for
lights when it could get 100 lights for
$5,000.
The vote upon Mr. H'Inneckt-r's amend-
ment was lost.
B. W. Maples then presented this
amendment:
knotted. That the Warden and Bargcrscs be and
. they are hereby authorized and directed to contract
with tho Nmalk and 80th Norwalk Electric Light
Company for lighting the streets of this borough by
sixty-nvccr more electric lights and the contract
hereby authorized shall provide-
F’irst. That the lights shall be of 1.400 candle pow.
or and in every respect equal to those now in are.
and shall burn from dusk untrl one o‘clock every
night during the year.
tit-calm, That the liable additional to those now in
use shall be located as ordered by said warden and
bargcncs.
Third. That the borough shall pay for each light
not to exceed $75 a year.
Fourth, And in case the warden and burger-res
shall order the lights to be burned not to exceed 812
nights in each year. the price to be paid for each
light shall not exceed 870 a year.
Fifth, This contract shall continue live years
And in case the Norwalk and South Norwslk Brec-
tric Light Company shall not notify either the war-
den of this borough or the clerk of the court of bur
gasses in writing over the signature of its president.
on or before 12 o'clock noon of Friday, March 22,
rim. that said company will accept the contract
bcrcin authorized then the warden and burgesscs
shall immediately contract with the Norwslk Gas
Light Company for lighting the streets by electric
lights. of either 800 mndlc power. 1.2!) candle pow.
er or 1.60) candle power, as provided in the bid of
said company. wanted to the Court of Barge-es
March it, 1&9, and. provided further, that the light,
shall burn from dusk until one o'clock.
Mr. Maples said he believed in fair
play—fair play to the Electric Light
company, to the Gas company, and above
all to the borough. He didn’t want to
see the old gas lights hounded out. The
borough wanted eledtric lights: it want»
ed them as cheap as possible, and this
competition was just what would bring
that about. The terms proposed in his
resolution, be said, were a reduction of
25 per cent. in the price the borough
paid last year.
Dr. Gregory thought if the borough
could make a contract according to the
resolution offered by Mr. Maples, it was
safer to do so than to try an experiment.
He didn’t want to see the Electric Light
company driven out of town. He con-
cluded by secouding Mr. Maples resolu-
libll.
In response to an inquiry Warden
Coolidge said the burgesses favored a
contract for a short term instead of a
long one, as electricity would probably
be cheaper in time tocome.
Mr. Maples referred to the result of the
investigations toads byr’a committee ap-
pointed by the Danbury Court of Bar-
gesscs to consider the advhability of that
borough settirg up its own plant. The
was-cams", be said, that the warden

difference in favor of the borough plant“
resolution. To accept it, he said, would
be a good deal like an auctioneer knock~
ing down his goods before the people
were through bidding. The borotlllh
had found it necessary, in order to pr0~
tect itself against exorbitant rates. to
solicit bids. If the Electric Light com-
pany was to virtually put in another bid
he thought the Gas company should be
allowed the same privilege. lle intimat-
ed that Mr. Mriplcs, if not the paid attor-
tray of the Electric Light conlpany,w0uld
br- remomberod if he succeeded in gutting
his resolution through.
This brought Mr. Maples to his feet
again. He declared that his motives
were honorable: that, unllb Mr. lIurl-
butt, he was not the paid attorney of
any corporation.
Mr. Hurlbutt resettled this imputation
in vigorous language.
Mr. Maples apologized by saying he
would not intentionally do anybody an
injustice. Continuing, be recited the
action of the Court of Ilurgesses in with.
holding the bids from the press and pub-
lic, which, he climacteric-«I as unjust
and unfair if not dishonorable.
This raised the ire of Warden Coolidge.
He said he resented any imputation of
dishonorable motives on the port of him-
self or any of tho burgessea with scorn.
If they had not acted for the best inter-
ests of the borough it was simply an er-
ror of judgment.
After John S. Seymour had spoken in
behalf of the Electric Light company, a
rising vote on Mr. Maples’ amendment
was taken and carried by a good major.
itv.
A motion by John S. Seymour that the
water commissioners be authorized to
connect the water mains of the borough
and of the city of South Norwalk in‘
West avenue, and charge the city $125
per day for water when required, was
carried. Water Commissioner Moody
was the principal opponent of the mo.
lion.
Mr. Moody offered the following,which
was carried without opposition:
l'ofml, That the water commissioners
of the borough are hereby authorized to
lay and connect a six inch water pipe
from the main pipe west of the stone
bridge, across the river on the south side
of said bridge and along the New Canaan
road to the pipe opposite the residence of
the late W. R Norah, a distance of about
2. 500 feet, and that the sum of $2, 000 or
so much thereof as may be necessary is
hereby appropriated for the same, to be
called for when needed during the sum-
mer.
The meeting then adjourned.
