way. therefore, his friends. determined
that no such talthtul'““public servant
as he had proved himself during his

be promoted to the lieutenant—govern-
orshlp, though some would send him
to Congress to replace the Honorable

Since New Canaan furnilhed both
the Democratic and the Republican
candidates last time...“ is expectod
that the other end: or the district hill

'i‘he C(liliiill.~>ltlilt"l‘.~1 of the First dis‘

to the city treasurer tsilmutes undre-
quests for appropriations covering the
expenses to be separately borne by the
First district. for the ilscul year next
ensuing. not including any estimated
expense of llghtug' the streets of the
First district. The board ol apportion-
lneut and taxation added to these esti-
mates an appropriation of $10,300 for
that purpose, and browsed by that
amount the taxes to be separately. as-
scsued upcn'tlm district. This amount
of $103th reprtsonts thc nursed price
for lighting tln- streets of the First
district for the “Hull ycnr next. onsu
lug. as provided in on existing con-
tract between tho former City of .\‘or-
wulk and the local electric lighting
company. The contract in question
“its in force all thc possum ot the act
of consolidation and runs for the pe-
riod of three years. from December
1st, itiiz.‘ '

The relator in a t-itlfi‘en and taxpayer
of the rim distric find brings this
writ of mandarin: t cbmtlol thcbonrd
oi apportionment and taxation to slim-
iuate this item of $10,300 from the se-
parate asuesshient lint or the First dis-
trict. and'to include it ln'thc list of the
Fourth district.

The precisc question is whether the
expense of lighting the streets of the
First; district. which was formerly the
City of Norwulh it properly charge.
able, under the not, to the First dis-
trict, separately. or to the Fourth dis-
rict, which includes also the former

City of South Xorwaik and the East
Norwaik Fire District. its decision
involves also the larger question--
whether the cost of street lighting is
included among the “burdens. expen.
sea and liabilities” of the former niu-
nicipalities. which are expressly im-
posed upon the First. Second and
Third districts, as succesfirs to the
rights, property and obligations of the
City of Norwalk. the City of South
Norwulkrnnd the East Norwalk Fire
District. respectively; or whether the

trict: was intended,,.to be distributed

These enactments are t-t-rtnlnly sit;-
ticlent to specifically impow on the
First district the existing obligation“
of the City of thrttulk. under its street
lighting contract. and to subjt-tgt the
inhabitants and property within the
First district to taxation for any lin-

passage or the act

Sections 3 relate to the Second
district, and contain slinilur provisions
in respect ot‘ the assumption by the
Second district of the rights, property
and obligations ot the former t‘ity ot‘a
South .\'orwulk, and lilakilit the lllll'lv

"burdens, expenses and liabilities.“

The former t‘ity of South Noruall:
owned its electric lighting and poutr
plant, as well as its water works. and
the act gives to the Secon'd‘tlistrlct the
ownership. management and control tit
both of these public utilities.

‘Stction 25 provides that the Second
district shall elect a board of electric
commissioners. who shall lnire nil the
powers and discharge till the dutios or

of the General Statutes relating to run-

shall be applied in reduction of the
debt of the Second district, and Sec-
tion 29 provides that any deficiency
of income to meet current expenses
nnd interest on indebtedness shall be
made up by taxing “all persons tutti
property liable to taxation in said dis-
trict."

The East Norwulk Fire District also
owned its electric plant, and Sections
34. 39 and iii of the act. give to the.
Third district similar rights of owner-
ship, nmliugemcnt and control oi the
plant, and similar rights and obligac
tion in respect of the separate use ol
any profits and separate liability to
taxation to make good any deficit.

Sections it and 45 provide that the

The Second and Third districts are
therefore obligated to light their own
streets, and by the express language
of the act to light them at. their own
expense. For like reasons the First
and Second districts are obligated by
the grant of municipal water. water
works and the express language of the
act ‘0 sprinkle their own streets. at
their own expense.

So. also, the former City of Norwaik
was, at the passage of this act. obli-
gated to lightrlts own strata. and we
think that obligation, among others.
was intended to be imposed upon its
successor, the First district or the
consolidnted city. by the words already
quoted. "All the inhabitants and prop-
erty within the limits of said First

tricts, each of which is expressly made
liable to taxation to det‘ray the “bur-
dens und expenses‘ of its own muni-
cipal predecessor. It is quite consist-
cnt with this general scheme tor the
distribution of taxation that each of
these districts should -be expressly
Vested with the ownership and the ex-
clusive management, control and flnau~
cial responsibility for the real estate
and public utilities formerly ' owned
by their respective predecessors. The
main purpose’of the scheme of taxa-
tion is to leave the incidence of local
taxation just where it was before act
of consolidation, so far as is reasona-
bly consistent with the new form of
municipal government; so that none
of the four districts, representing se-
parate municipalities, should be sub-
jected to additional taxation for the
then existing local burdens and ex.
penses ofjnother district. except to
the extent expressly provided for in
the act. Neither is it inconsistent
therewith that the general administra-
tivo control over all the affairs and
activities 0! tire new city should be
vested in a. central council.

The relator's theory as to the inci-
dence of taxation would put upon the
Second and Third districts the burden
of lighting their own streets. and also
of paying more than half the expense
of lighting the streets of the First dis-
trict. It would also require the First
and Second districts to‘bear separately
the entire expense of sprinkling their
own streets. and. in addition, to pay
nearly sevencights of the cost or
sprinkling the streets of the Third
district. And it would compel tile-Sec-
ond district, which owns both water .
works and electric plant. to sprinkle
and light. its own streets and to pay.

{in proportion to their respective grand

lists. toward the cost of lighting the
