QUESTION LEGALITY OF ACTION Water Company's Agreement With Town Accepted—Vote for Evening Schools—Westwood Park Passway to Be Improved—14 Mill Tax Rate. Steps to acquire the property of the Plainville Water company and to operate the a municipal plant, although the action may" be of a thcoretical order owing to the pos- sible illegality of the instructions, the same as matter not having been included in the | were ordered taken by the board selectmen at the session of the last evening; the contract be- tween the company and the town, with one slight change, proved after lengthy the construction of a road in wood park was ordered; a tax rate of fourteen mills was adopted: an elec- tric light for Strong court was or- dered; provisions were made for the establishment of an evening school and the reports of the town officers for the vear ending August 15, 1914 were accepted. These matters acted on the adjourned annual and special town meetings held in the Town hall. A capacity house despite the inclement the meetings had some very ing features, The socialists played a prominent part in both sessions. They worked under the leadership of John A. Larson, whose bright sallie and merry quips interpolated in prac- tically every discussion enlivened the proceedings greatly. There were some hot arguments, but a friendly spirit seemed to characterize all the debates The water company came in for its share of trouble during the evening and the discussion of its contracts and other affairs finally led up to the passage of a resolution ordering the selectmen to take the steps neces- sary to acquire its property. This proposition was introduced by Lewis Madeley, one of the socialist con- tingent. Bafore its passage, C. H. Calor, president of the company, ex- pressed the opinion that the di- rectors of the corporation were ready to turn over the plant to the town tomorrow. This brought a motion of thanks from John A. Larson, who sald he thought the voters shonld express their appreciation of President Calor's it The tory for rark and call of voters a at was in weather, and about a vic- of Westwoond resolution to them wita resembled a vote, de- meeting brought the residents vicinity, their have the town provide something that at least road getting a favorahle spite the objections of taxpayers eco- nomically inclined. who couldn't see how the town could pay the expense of the improvement unless an extra tax was laid. E. A. Freeman acted as chairman of both sessions and Town Clerk R. (' Usher kept the minutes. The adjourned annual meeting was first called to order. The matter of layving a tax rate was immediately brought up. The selectmen presented a budget in which they estimated the expense for the vear at $34,721.92 On a fourteen mill tax rate, based om the grand list last compiled, they gave the receipts at 00, showing that even without any extraordinary expenses, the town would face a de- ficit of over $400 at the end of the year unless the tax rate was increased John H. Trumbull wanted the mat- ter put over until it was ascertained what extra expenses the voters would favor. §. S. Gwillim moved that the present tax rate, fourteen mills. be continued for the year. John A. Lar- son’s efforts to have the vote on the question taken by check list was turned down, and Mr. Gwillim's maotion was passed. The Water company’s agreement with the town was then considered. The contract specified. that the town was to pay the company for the use of forty-nine hydrants at the rate of $15 a vear each and that $30 a vear must be paid fo reach of two water- ing troughs, and that water used in the Town hall and school buildings chall he paid for on a meter hasis A. H. Condell objected to the clause which specified ‘that no agent of the | town, other than a representative of | the fire department, shall test or dis- turb hydrants, without the permission of the company. Mr. Condell offered | as an amendment the addition of the | 1 a sentence: “The fire chief shall have | power to test the hydrants any time:”" He claimed that the intention to inspect should bhe given the might interfere with tion.

President Calor said that there was nothing be- wildering in contract, its various features simple simple busi- ness proposition and as clear as the yose on one's facc. Mr. Aspinall in- sisted that there were not three men in the hall who could explain it. P. Williams then moved that the resolution be tabled until some future mecting. Mr. Calor protested, claring that the agreement had lield up for over a year. He requested the withdr of the motion, plead- ing for a to explain. F God’s sake let us tell our story, Mr. Calor, “and then turn us down if want to."

Mr. Condell's motion was passed without the amendment, g Special Meeting. After the regular session had journed the call for the special | meeting was read by the clerk A. | H. Condell immediately objected to | voting for a new road in Westwood | park. He claimed to be always in favor of public improvements when the voters provide the money to meet the expenses, but he said a tax rate had already been established that would not produce sufficient revenue to meet the ordinary bills and he dld not think any “extra” should be sad- dled on the selectmen. The cost of the proposed highway, he explained, had been cstimated by the selectmen at $1,500. There were other objections of similar order. Residents of Weat- wood park made an earnest appeal for the road. They did not expect the | town to provide a houlevard for them but they thought they at least ,rnmlml to a passway that would ac- commodate teams, used in doing busi- ness with that settlement They thought the expense would much less than $1,500 and it their that the taxes they reg entitled them to that at ts were also | political parties use of the without « A H ports of the re- be ac- maoved cepted “under ad- town were be was paid much opinion ularly least The voters quests and oring the their re- fav- sponding to the resolution ~ passed highway.
