YESTERDAY s BOROUGH MEETING.
Water Supply Voted to Spring Hill
and Elmcrest People—Sewer
Ordered for' Cross Street.
The borough meeting was called to
order yesterday afternoon at 3.05 by
Warden Keeler. Twenty-Seven people
were present. Clerk Montgomery read
- the call for the meeting after which the
matter of laying water pipes on Elm-
crest bouelvard, Stewart avenue and
Spring Hill road came up. Water-
Commissioner Street reported that the
estimated cost of the same would be
$2,400. Attorney Hurlbutt thereupon
offered the following resolution:
“Voted, that the water commissioners
of the borough be, and hereby are, au-
thorized and directed to cause to be
laid a six (6) inch iron pipe of such
number of lineal feet as they may deem
advisable in Elmcrest boulevard, “Con-
necticut turnpike ” and Stewart ave-
nue. together with such nufribgijl of fire
hydrants, branches and speCi'tils and
connections as may in their Judgment
be needed. Also
Voted, that the Court of Burgesses
be authorized to borrow in the name
and on the credit of the {berough, the
sum of twenty-five hundred dollars, or
so much of said sum as shall be neces-~
sary to carry into effect the aforesaid
vote, and to give the obligation or note
of the borough therefor, and to pay the-
money over to said water commission-
ers on the completion of the work, said
amount to be chargeable to the water
fund of the borough.
Ex—Water Commissioner Moody fav-
ored a four inch pipe, claiming that it
would be sufficient for all purposes,and
moved to amend the resolution to that
extent.
Chief Engineer Prowitt favored the
resolution as read, and gave his rea-
sons therefor. He didn’t think we
could afi‘ord to putin anything less than
a six inch pipe in view of the prospect-
ive growth of that section of the bor-
ough. He gave the opinion of Borough *
Engineer Wood, as an expert in such
matters. The original resolution was
adopted with but - one dissenting vote,
that of Mr. Moody, who explained that
he was not opposed to_ the water pro-
ject but favored a smaller pipe.
The following resolution was read by
warden Keeler: “Voted, that the Wa-
ter CommiSsioners of the borough be,‘
and hereby are, authorized and direct-
ed to cause to be laid a six (6) inch iron
pipe of such number of lineal feet as
they may deem advisable in Spring
Hill roadtogether with such number of
fire hydrants, branches and specials
and connections as may in-their judg—
ment 'be needed. Also
Voted, that the Court of Burgesses
be authorized to borrow in the name
and on the credit of the ' borough, the
sum of two thousand dollars, or so
much of said sum as shall be neceSsar'y
”to carry into effect the aforesaid vote
and to give the note of the borough
therefor, and to pay the money over to
said Water CommissiOners on the com-
pletion of the work, said amount to be
chargeable to the water fund of the
borough.”
Attorney Hurlbutt opposed the reso-
- lotion on the ground, principally, that
as planned, the additional pressure up-
' (on our'water mains would be greater
than they could bear.
He moved 'to
amend by Substituting four inch pipe
for the six inch pipe named in the reso-
_ lution.
7 Water Commissioner Street advoca-
ted the adoption Of the originalresolu-
"tion, as he considered a dOuble hydrant
on Spring'hill a necessity.
Messrs. Moody and Hurlbutt 'contin-
ued their remarks in favor of a four
inch pipe, Mr. 'Moody ffavoring it on
the ground of economy almost solely,
Lwhereas Mr. Hurlbutt considered the
.question 1n the light of prudence and
safety, as heretofore outlined.
, Water Commissioner Street explain-
ed that it was not the purpose of the
commissioners to connect with the
main pipe. _.
Permission was accorded Mr. Hurl-_
butt to withdraw his amendment and
the resolution was adopted.
On motion Of Mr. Hurlbutt the Bur-
gesses were authorized to construct a
sewer on Cress street. the resolution
being adepted unanimously.
On motion of Clerk Montgomery the

EDITOR GAzETTE.~——As a tax payer I
would like to occupy a few lines of your
court of burgesses to a halt in their
reckless expenditure of the berrowed
public money, and their incompetent
management of affairs in general. If
they do not stop this everlasting. bor-
rowing and apply economical methods,
it is only agquestion of time when we
will be in the condition of Elizabeth,
N. J ., and other bankrupt municipali-
ties. As showing the difi‘erence be-
tween good and bad management, we
can take the case of the borough of
Stamford with only about $80,000 in-
debtedness, and our own borough with
its debt of nearly half a million dollars.
Yet our burgesses shut their eyes and
go deeper into the debt mire, reckless-
1y apprOpriating money which we have
not got for more sewers, extra polic-
men and more electric lights, for those
who have "pulls,” and now are about
to spend thousands of dollars to widen
East avenue, which is entirely uncalled
for by any public necessity, and the
result of which will be that we will
have heavy damages to pay for their
foolhardy operations on that street.
The time is ripe for a “Citizen’s” move-
ment, and the nomination and election
of a ticket composed of the solid, prac-
tical men of all parties ; for unless this .
present “ring” government is done
away with, we shall have small chance
indeed, of attracting any level headed
new citizens or business enterprises,
which are so sorely needed, to our debt
ridden borough. TAX PAYEB.

——ED1TOR or GAZETTEI—FOI‘ the past
ten days there has been more or less
discussion through the local papers
relative to saloon keepers attempting
to boycot the goods made by the Acme
Bottling works, of Stamford. I for
one hope that the attempt will prove
futile. The soda water, ginger ale,
birch and root beer made by the above
parties, I know to be absolutely ”pure:
and unadulterated. Mr. Servia, one of
the proprietors, has been a druggist fer
20 years standing, is well known, and
gives his personal attention to the bus-
iness and I see no good reason why the
Acme Bottling works should not sell to
every one they wish to. JUSTICE.

That Ball Game.
Early yesterday afternoon crowds
of people could be seen wending
their way to the Baxter ground to
witness the game of ball between the
Lady Ball Players and the Resolutes.
715 people paid admission and as many
more climbed the fences. In the crowd
were judges, lawyers, doctors, deacons,
bank officials, ice dealers, merchants,
expressmen, married men, single men,
baldheaded men, young men and old
men, all eager to see—the game. Be-
fore the game the ball tossers circu-
lated among the crowd and endeavored
to. sell photographs of the club in uni-
form. How many were sold we are un-
able to state, but we saw several of
Norwalk’s staid business men tucking
them away in their inner vest pockets.
As ball players the ladies were not a
success, but they furnished no end of
amusement for- the crowd. Six innings
were played resulting in a score of 19

BUL'KELEY’S RIGHT TO QFFII'GE.
Judge Hull Says He ls Defacto G'ov—
ernor and His Title Must Stand.
HARTFORD, June 24.—Judge' J. M.
Hall, in the Superior Court to-day
handed down a decision in the suit of
Austin Brainard, Executive Secretary
to Gov. Bulkeley, against Comptroller
Staub for the payment of salary.
The decision was on the motion of
Brainard’s counsel to expunge parts of
the answer filed by Staub’s counsel to
the bill of complaint. Judge Hall’s
opinion is that parts of the answer
should be expunged.
The parts referred to cite the facts of
the State election last fall, and claim
that Morgan G. Bulkeley is not Gov-
ernor, and has not the right to appoint
an executive secretary.
Judge Hall says in his opinion that
the question of whethei Bulkeley is de
jure Governor cannot be determined' in
amandamus suit to which Bulkeley is
not a party; that he 1s de facto Govern-
or, and that his acts as such must stand
as regards a third party until his bills
have been overthrown by a contest, or
by quo warranto proceedings. This is
in effect a recognition of Bulkeleyu’
right to the Office. -
