‘ A lull occurred~ in the conversation at

ill. £0,30de if he had anything to

Hr. Rowan replied: “No, not any-
thing: I thought I had." .
Elmtrt'c Light Commissioner Volk
explained that very little of the State

fined in tilting in about the el ctric light

spoke on the cost of runuiugt )pluut.

“i will be astronomical in the street

amendment to make the in five

mills was then voted on and lost. and
the Motion to lay a six mill tax was

grassed.

John L. Richards offered the following
resolution:

this work. Last year a filter was recom-
mended. Before you go to work to build
find out what you are about. This mat-
ter calls not simply for engineering. but
the study‘lof chemistry as well; no one.
man can do it. I shall nevor vote for a

year or any other year. for the money
would be squandered. or worse than
squandered." Tho resolutions Mr.
5' Palmer had prepared were then read:
' Resolved. That the .Watcr Commis-
sioners be and that they are hereby rc—

Mr. Light——“I would not expect you
to care a ii); for my opinion. You
haven‘t any sensc for that.”

Mr. P.tliuor~—"I didn't. ask you to fur-
nish me, with sense."

Mr. Light-“You have no place for
sense."

Mr. Palmer-d ‘We should run this mu-
ohine... gentlemen. It is a question
whetherthe cityisgoing so mutt. or
the oflioiais.”

Mr. Richards said the resolution had
no effect in.lsw. but was simply a re-
quest. which should be carried.

Mr. Donovan thought it was too bad
the attairs ol' the city could not be talk-
cd about without so much feeling. “We
are told by the attorney." he said, “that
some citizens take no interest. and oth-
ers to) much. It strikes me. that it is
not unfair at the. annual meeting to dis-
cuss these matters; it‘s the only chance
we get. It is a move that should meet
the good intent of all citizens of the
place."

Mr. Rowan said he might be n‘little.
thick, but he considered the resolution
perfectly legal, and said that as to the
disposal of the mom‘y. the Commission-
crs would probably always have a
chance to loan it to the city. (Laugh-
ter). .

Mr. Hatch considered the resolution a

. 'retiection on the Water Commissioners
or treasurer. that they were not using

the money properly.

The question was called for. and May-
or Lee. said he would abldc' by the. decis-
ion of the city attorney and rule tho resc-

' lntion out of order.

Mr. Palmer—“We do not want any
lawyer to tell us wo cannot speak. and
if that is his houor’s Opinion. I iipppal.“

Mayor Lee put- the question to“/ vote
and Mr. Palmer's upped was sustained
by a very large majority.

W. W. Lester thought the city affairs
should be Conducted as one Would con.
duct his individual business. and put
aside as much moucy as possible.

Mr. Light. said the proper way was
for the people to instruct the Council to
attend to the matter.

James A. Brown—“Will the. Council
Mr. Donovan moved an adjournment

EJusi inexitisc South Not-walk said so. or

quiet smile, remarked: “All. we have

Mr. Donovan declared that the meet-
; int; was illegal anyway. as the. call had
. not been properly signed.

was. ' to tell Highway "Commissioner

Street Commissioner Waldo C. Briggs,
of South N orwnlk, asked Mr. Selleck t‘cr
the rest of the conversation at Hart-ford,
concerning the building of the road in
South Norwalk. .

Mr. Selleek said he had told the Coni-
- missioners that he had no objection to
building the road in South Norwalk,
provided the city of South Norwalk paid
the $1,000 and agreed to maintain the
. road.

l Attorney Light—“Then, if the city of
3 South Norwnlk will pay $l.000 towards

 

look tho legal question?"

street Commissioner Briggs said that
it had been voted twico in town meeting
to build the road, and he did not see
why Mr. Selleck attempted to contest it
on the question of legality.

Mr. Sullcck said the mason was be-
cause he always wanted to do things
right and iii an honest manner.
said Senator Ferris. Judge John H.
Perry. and Rupresentntive.Keeler had
