south side, as at present: the election of
councilman for a term of two years, and
fixing the salaries at 8200 for the mayor
and 0103 for each councilman; fixing the
time for informal hearings with citizens.
He said. also. it should be urged upon
Norwalk‘s representatives in the General

present law and give cities the taxes paid
by the trolley companies. instead of hav-
ing them go to the state.
Fire Marshal Biker reported tint Sa-
turday night he inspected the exits 111
Hoyt’s Theatre and found tWo of them
locked, for the purpose of preventing the

Councilman Cometock wanted to
know the standing of the, Norwalk
Street Railway company in the matter.
and whether the city could collect any-
thing from the company to pay for the
improvement. He said the city ought
not to give up so valuable a right of
way without getting some return. The
company should at least pay a portion
of the cost; if not willingly, it should be
made to do it unwillingly.
Attorney Light said the previous
Council gave the company permission to

The Electric Light Commissioners
made the following report to the Board
of Councilmen, last night. upon the legal
complications between the Norwalk and
South Norwalk Electric Light company
and the city of South Norwalkr
South Norwalk, Conn, Jan. 18,1897.
To the Honorable, the Mayor and Conu-
cilmen of the City of South Norw-alk.
Gentlemen: In view of the existing
legal complications between the Nor-
walk and South Norwalk Electric Light
company and this city, this Board does
not deem it prudent under the circum-
stances to act, except under the guidance
of your honorable body, upon any
agreements that the above named con»
puny may desire to enter into with this
city, in relation to matters that involve
the judgment of this Board.
We therefore submit for your considr
oration the following copy of a coin-

your instructions:

By W. 1'3. (luthrio,
Superintendent.
111 this connection, we would respect-
fully make 11f1-w remarks:
I. It is Ilt'lli'l't’fl in justice
to our oil izeus that the Nor-
walk and Soul 11 Norwalk l'llcc-
trio Light company should be enjoined
from further increasing or extending
their system through the streets of South
Norwalk. pending tho settlonrout of the
litigation between that company and
this city, it being known that the com.
puny named has recently 11011111111011 such
litigation by applying for injunctions
for the purpose of provontiog the people
of this city from continuing the lighting
of their streets, ‘111111 from undertaking
to light their 1101111111 and places of bush
noesby their own electric light plant.
whichinjunctions. should thoy becmne
operative. would result in a most serious
loss to our citizens.
II. It is understood that tin-company
named are about to replace their present
alternating electric system with one
known as the three-phase systen1.w11ich
will require complete reconstruction.
Preparations 11111 new under way for this
reconstruction to begin in this city.
though this city 111111 on received any
formal notification of the fact, nor any
petition for noccssnry privileges. It is a
question as to whether the company
no dbasalogul right to reconstruct
furl'ltkr than is rendered necessary for
the purpose of, making repairs and
minor changes.
111. You will notice in thc communi-
cation thatit is intended to hang two 301)
light transformers on pclcs near Water
street. The transformers do not weigh
under 700 pounds each.a weight which we
believe is much too great to be suspended
on poles under which people are 01 intiu-
ually walking or driving. Aside from
the possibility of falling, those trans-
formers ure bulky and unsightly and in
justice to our own people who are not
allowed to suspend objects 111’ less weight
over highways and sidewalks. we be-
lieve that any further hanging of trans-
formerstc poles in the streets of this
clty should cause. There is no difficulty,
other than that of expense. In the my
the streets. and 1111 2 far the moat sat-
islactory method 11111191111111 safety.
IV. It is understood that wherever it
Is convenient to d112,”, the company
named now uses and intends to further
utilize the dead poles that originally
supported the wires ofthe Nor-walk 13:11
Light company. merry of which have
been stripped of wires for years. It will
be remembered that shortly after the
city’s plant was started. the Common
Council gave the company named. to
which the poles had been sold, an order
to remove them within thirty days,
upon the expiration of which time this
Board was instructed to remove them
from the streets. but was provcntcd by
an injunction being served upon it by
the company named on the last day of
polo-1 have been 11 standing nuisance in
our streets. It should be noted that
those poles were originally placed for the
purpose only of street lighting and it
does not appear proper that they should
be maulo use of forgauy other purpose
while the legal questions in which they
are a feature remain'uusettlcd.
V. It is the belief of this Board that
should any permit be given to tho corn»
puny 11111111111, pending the 11111111111111 ol’
the legal complications between it and
this city, that such permits be granted
only upon the condition that they in 1y
be revoked at the pleasure of your bow
orable body.
