The meeting fol- lowed a luncheon at Hotel Bond. The diversion of the Bwift and Ware rivers in Massachusetts is commonly referred to as the Boston Metropolitan water supply project. Benedict M. Holden, chief coun- sel for the state in various negotia- tions which are in progress, also spoke to the directors. He said in part: “The aggrossive action of the Metropolitan water commission of Boston threatens the health of a large section of Connecticut and will undoubtedly menace the important avenue of transportation afforded to Connecticut business men via the Connecticut river, This matter is of primary importance to the state, and #tate chamber directors should be fully informed. Failure to take an active interest in this matter at the present time may result in Massachusetts obtain- ing advantages which will bring great injury to Connecticut.” Mr. Belden's resume went back as far as May 25, 1922 when, at an an- nrual meeting, a resolution was adopted protesting against water di- version which was then seen to be a problem of the immediate future, At the annual meeting of the cham. ber held in Bridgeport in May, 1924, Governor Templeton was called upon by resolution to have the attorney general ascertain Connecticut's rights. President Bullard appoint- ed Secretary Chandler to attend a conference in Rpringficld. In De- cember, 19 Mr. Chandler wrote to Governor Trumbull outlining the action taken at annual meetings of the Chamber of Commerce and reling developments in the diver- sion controversy On January 15, 1926, Edward L. Kelly, the governor's executive sec- retary wrote Mr. Chandler to the ef- feet that the governor had asked the attorney general for an opinion as to Connecticut's rights in the situation, The state chamber was commended for taking the lead in protesting the diversion. Mr. Belden then further reviewed in detall his own actions, he having | followed Mr. Chandler as secretary. This consisted in part of keeping the governor informed of the cham- ber activities and its correspondence with other interests which were having a part in the controversy.
