ed to buy the water company at a
reasonable price. those opposed got
be some loop hole for the favor-era to

present controlling owner of the We-
ter 00.. asked the committee for an
increase of bonds to {125.000, there
was not one bit of objection. Mr.
Jackson. when asked what he wished
the additional bond issue for. he Btiid
“for improvements." and told of what
he intended doing in giving the. peo-
ple of the Farms, electric lights and
the people of Bangatuck the benefit
by running the water main up Tread-
weli avenue. and another down
through that. section known as little
italy. r
While the majority of the voters of
the district did not favor the purchase
of the plant of the water company
as has been evidencad by the thrice
voting to adjourn. ii is certain, that a
large number of the taxpayers are in
favor of purchase. it has been said
that several of the wealthiest ones
are speaking of private purchase. as
they consider it would be one of the
beat investments that they could make.
While nothing authoritative can be
said. it is certain that there has been
some talk. '

of the Legislature Today.
tiVe Biodgett, of ()nnaan. presented
some figures to the it‘armers‘ Associa-
tion of the legislature this morning

cut in half the tax on savings banks
deposits. There were, he said. 474.301
depositors in the savings banks of the
state of which over 100.000 were own-
ers of accounts of under $1.000. Rep-
resentative Warner. of Woodbridgo.
contended that many of this number
owned several accounth which were
distributed among various banks.
Their deposits were thus divided in
order to secure larger rates of inter-
est which are allowed on deposits of
under $1,000. Representailye Blodgctt
HHUI that the present rates of interest
would not prevail if the tax remained
the same as at present. A hearing
on the bill wail be given by the finance
counnittec this afternoon and several
4 members of the association will at—
tend.
Automobile bills were again discuss-
ed. li‘iual action of the association

tion requesting the public health ‘und

ment and for street lighting. said sum
to be determined by the sclcctmen of
liranford and an 00“!“ number of tin-
txccutivc board of thc association.
Senator Hammer said he represented
the vote of a Branford town meeting
which strongly opposed tiny such My
islution.
Senator t’latt thought it was a mat~
for that. should be settled in its own
community and characterized it as
special legislation.
Senator Judson. of Stratiord. was
opposed to the resolution on general
principles,
Senator (.‘halflt-ld. of Now ”even.
in support. of thc committee's report.
contended that thc member-sect the.
association paid one-eighth of all the
taxes in the town of Branford and
had no voice. in the expenditure of the
money. ills motion for adoption of the
resolution did not prevail and it was
rejected by a large majority.
