= finite
a
i is di-
After months of litigation a
step has been taken in the fa
vision case, and the prospects l‘fuvor
of division of the Town of Nor ‘ k are
brighter than ever. as shown ly the
report of the special committee com-
posed or John R. Buck, of Hit! lord:
George 1). \Vatrous. of New lavcn.
and Frank T. Brown, of Novch , ap-
pointed to ascertain the facts. The
much discussed matter of “calendar
days" and "legislative days“ has been
carefully sifted down, and it Is found
that precedent on the part of the guy-
crnors who have exercised their veto
power is very strongly oii the side of
South Norwalk.
Newa was received late this after-
noon, that the arguments in the case
will take. place next \‘l’edncsdny. In
Bridgeport.
The committee nppointmi by the civil
superior court, filed Its report in the
court yesterday. and it is particularly
pleasing to the residents of South Nor;
walk and those advocating its cause.
The committee practically finds that of
all the governors in the state only two,
Governors George E. hounsbury and
liulkeley, exercised the perogative of
taking more titan three calendar days '
in which to return a veto. This would
seem to Indicate by precedence that
the other governors deemed the mean-
Ing of “three days" to be three calen-‘
dar days. and not three legislative days
as construed by the adherents of Nor-
walk.
The attorneys for the Town of Nor-
waik set tip in their pleading that it
has been the practice of secretaries of
state to withhold the certificates from
a law which has not been signed by the
governor until after three legislative
days had passed. treat research
showed the course taltcn by the differ-
ent governors since 1883. and a sched
ule accompanies the report giving the
complete history of each veto.
Since 1888 there have been twenty»
six vetoes. of which all httt seven wcrt
within the t...roc calendar days. Two
of those were vetoes by (lovcrnor
George. E. I.ounsbury..four of them by
Governor Morgan fl. Bulkeley. and one
by Governor Thomas I3. Waller.
‘ Governor Waller did not hold the
bill for the three legislative days.
however. The legislature adjourned
before the three calendar days were up
and he handed in the veto at the first
opportunity, or as soon as the logis-
iaturc again resumed its sessions.
Governor ‘Waiier used the veto pews
or eight times during his administra-
tion. all the others being within the
three calendar days.
The matter comes up on reservation
for disposition at the short calender
session of the civil superior court to—
day. This means that it will go to
the supreme court of errors for final
adjudication. probably at the June
term in New Haven, which comes in
on Tuesday. June 7.
Judge .lohn H. Light was interviewed
last evening. regarding the report. He
seemed to be greatly pleased with its
contents, and stated that the prospect
is very bright for division.

Some Important Moves That Will Ex
tensivoly Affect New England.
The improvements of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad under way or in con
teniplatinn in Greater New York and
on Long Island are roughly estimated
as below. by the Wall Street Journal:
Greenvilic terminal ........ $8,000,000
Pennsylvania tunnel and
passenger terminal ...... 50,000,000
Penn. and N. Y.. Conn. R.
. R. ...................... 3,000,000
Long Island R. R. Improve-
ments ............... 10,000,000
371000.000
The above schedule does not include
the heavy work in grade separationr
and constr ctlon of fifth and sixth
track from rcnion east to Jersey City.
Nor does it include the unproductive
“000.000 and more for purchase of
the controlling interest In the Long Is-
iand railroad. Both of these outlaws
belong to the general scheme of im-
provements ot New York and vicinity.
A round total of 800000.000 would pro‘
habiy be. a conservative estimate of the
entire outlay, Including the 379000.000
above. This requires an added net
naming of about 34.000.000 per year
to provide for its charges.
