I-‘BOROIIGH MEETING.
Water Supply Voted to Spring Hill
and Elmcrest People—Sewer
Ordered for Cross‘ Street.
The borough meeting was called to
order Wednesday 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
laida 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-
A Demanding Trade Necessitates
an Addition.
Seldom a season or a year passes but
that some change or addition of space
is made in thestores of the large dry
goods and carpet firms. More depart-
ments are added, departments that are
established are enlarged, and the de-
mands of trade are steadily calling for
a store in which the purchaser can
readily find the several items that are
on the “shopping list.” To meet this
BULKELEY’S RIGHT TO OFFICE.
Judge Hull Says He is Defacto Gov—
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
growing demand the D. M. Read Co.
have secured in addition to their pre-
sent premises, the large store formerly
occupied by Webster and Lounsbury.
which is just north of the building now
used by them. A connection is being
made from the building facing Fair-
field avenue by means of an archway
sixteen feet wide, with glass roof and
sides of corrugated iron. This large
store running through Main street to
Middle is being newly refitted into a
nue. together with such number of fire model, up to the times carpet and up-
hydrants, branches and specials and bolstering store, and into'it will be re-
connections as may in their judgment moved the stocks that are now in the
be needed. Also ower floors of their present buildings.
Voted, that the Court of Burgesses This will make them one of the largest

sary to carry into effect the aforesaid they carry. This addition will give
vote, and to give the obligation or note space to increase their departments of
of the borough therefor, and to pay the wash dress goods, linens, towelings.
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 whether Bulkeley is de
jure Governor cannot be determined in
a mandamus suit to which Bulkeley is
not a party; that he is 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 Bulkeleys’
right to the office.

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 afford 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) inchiron
pipe-of such number Of lineal feet as
they may deem advisable in Spring

fire hydrants, branches and Specials

ment be needed. Also
Voted, that the Court of Burgesses
be authorized to narrow 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 necessary

Attorney Hurlbutt opposed the reso-
lution on the ground, principally, that
as planned, the additional pressure lip-
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.
Water Commissioner ‘Street advoca-
ted the adoption of the original resolu—
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 favoring it on
the ground of economy almost solely,
whereas Mr. Hurlbutt considered the
question in 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 Cross street. the resolution
being adopted unanimously.
On motion of Clerk Montgomery the

That Ball Game.
Early Wédnesday afternoon crowds
of people could be seen wendlng
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
to 10 in favor of the Resolutes.

Hanlon Surrenders.
No one attempting to arrest him (and
apparently not desiring to do so,) Wil-
liam Hanlon at about 10:30 Tuesday
morning voluntarily surrendered him-
self to Officer Adams. The two then
repaired to Justice Coolidge’s office,
where Michael Sheedy appeared and
gave bonds in $1,500 for him and he
was released. So a truce for the pres-
ent at least, of this miserable travesty
of justice. _
As muchas is Hanlon’s crlme to be
abhorred, he thus comes out of it and
stands before the community in a far
more manly and creditable ight than
do our borough officers of justice,
charged with the protectionpf life and
the preservation of the public peace.
The examination of both James an
William Hanlon will be held at the
borough court room to-morrow morn-
ing at 9 o’clock.
