Attorney Charles W. Comstock of Norwich, who is president of the company, opanied Wwith a few words of explanation of further amend- ments to its resolution put in by At- torney Briscoe of Norwich and to pro- test the Ponemah company’s rights in the Shetucket river, and then gave way to_the opposition, which consisted of Jobn T. Cuddy, represented by Attor- ney C. W. Melony of Willimantic; the American Thread company, represent- ed by ex-Attorney General Wi lll.!n A. King; the Wi Man company, represented by Stpt,. xnum the Bast Lyme Power coi y, Tep- resented by Attorney E. eld of Hartford; the Smith & Winchester company of South Windham represent- ed by Representative Smith of Willl- mantic, and the city of Willimantic, represented by Representative and Mayor Bunn. John Cuddy’s Claim. Mr. Melony first presented Mr. Cud- dy’s case, saying that the land he now owned just below the Uncag dam was held under option in 1907 by one Briggs of Providence, and was then offered to Mr. Comstock as a means of increasing the head of the dam, but he said the company didn't want it. Mr. Cuddy, a young man working on the job, saw his opportunity and bought the land— for what he could get it for, as the Uncas Power company would have use of It. What either would have pald was not a large sum. Tn 1908 said Mr. Melony, “before Mr. Cuddy could develop his water power to any extent, he was stopped | with an injunction and alleged tres- pass. They sald they owned the land, and their injunction now holds him by the throat. He can't get the mutter tried in the Windham county superior court. “While Cuddy is thus held down on his back in Windham county, this company comes to the general assem- bly and asks the power to condemn his land. They are imposing either on the superfor court or the general assembly and this committee. They may set up that the general statute takes care of Cuddy as the owner of a water power, but they have prevented his develop- ing it to any extent. “ If we can’t beat Cuddy in cous say the Uncas Power company, ‘we'll taks the property away from him. This is unjust and unconstitutional” concluded Mr. Melony, and he offered any amendment which provides that | “nothing in the resolution shall refer ,dent Comuoek nl the Company. have a aflm- to do it vmmu ulnc Leld up ml:ody. whether h. large or ‘We supply Norwich with m’ and have contracted to furnish Willimantic, Stafford Fockville. We are benefif the con- sumer and the result of our operations bhas been to reduce the price of light- ing in Norwich.” He then read again thé letter intro- duced by Mr. Knight and maintained that it was merely the letter of one gentleman to another making a re- quést which was entirely proper. ‘Then as to the eminent domain: Mr. Comstock insisted that this right re- ferred only to the present power plant, and not to anything else, its construc- tion and possible enlnnmant. He sald the amendment put on by Mr. Briscos prevented taking anyibing ex- cept land which could be taken under the flowage act, and that this must be taken at the dam. No water power or privilege was needed or would be tak- en, nothing but land at the plant. “Th,» saié@ Mr. Comstock, “Mr. Cud- dy has a water privilege or water, pow- er there, this protects him, too. As president of the Uncas Power company, he stated emphatically that the concern had never been given the opportunity to purchase the Cuddy land, and it had been supposed from Engineer Sheldon’s report that it al- ready owned this plece, Cuddy worked for Contractor Shaw and bought it at that time, realizing that the company €ldn't own it. Cuddy bought the lana he had been informed, for $50, and it didn't seem right that he should be allowed to hold up the power com- Lany. Mr, Briscoe explained to the com= mittee what his amendment meant and that thé Uncas company could only take the Ponemah land under the flow- age act, which couldn’t be prevented. Mr, Knight came in at this point with some further remarks to the ef- fect that the reservoirs controlled by his company and the Thread company were likely to be taken for the opera- tion of the power plant under the re olutlon, and after a long dlscussion be- tween attorneys, King supported Mr. Knight's contention, it didn’t appear that this was not so. ‘Treasurer Robbins of the power com- pany claimed that the Cuddy land had never been offered to the power com- pany. Mr. Maloney then, after showing how the Uncas Power company had care- fully and thoroughly obliterated the lines of the Cuddy land, produced Mr, ‘Briggs of Pravidence to say how that was. Hé sald that he had offered this land to Mr. Comstock in 1907 on the | ground that it would permit of three | or four extra feet of head to the dem and make it unnecessary to“cut off a i of ! L 250th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Founding of Norwich, July 5th and 6th the to the land of John T. Cuddy.” He said Cuddy’s water privilege could be developed to from 75 to 100 horse pow- er, and that the man who sold the Ray land, now the Cuddy land, over fifty years ago reserved the right to dig & canal and develop a water power. American Threat Company’s State- . ment. Mr. King then told the committee that the power of eminent domain con- veyed in section three of the resolution gave a power of eminent domain which might be Injurious to the American Thread company. He characterized the section as mysterious and likely to have taken some time to draw, and asked why ¥t had been inserted, If it gave only what is given in the general statute, as had been stated. He wish- ed the American Thread company add- ed to the Cuddy amendment. Superintendent Knight of the Wind- ham Manufacturing company said his company owned the water power next above the Thread company, including two falls, and controlled the Bolton Reservoir company. He believed the rerolution would make it possible to take away the water power -ueael‘os more than one hundred years. He r a letter from Mr, Comstock, complain- ing about the shuttimg of tHe com- pany’s gates last Christmas and in- sisted that this showed a belief that the Uneas Power company had rights in_that water now. Mr. Canfield believed that section 3 gives a right of eminent domain which no private company should have. He referred to the fact that this section was never advertised and was only sprung at the hearing before the com- mittee, where there was no one pres- ent whe had any interest in it. East Lyme Power Co. This was, however, somewhat apart from the intérest of the East Lyme Power company In tne bill. The pres- ent charter of the Uncas Power com- rany gives it no right to go into the towns of Esst Lyme and Waterford, and he wanted the rights of the East Lyme. company so protexted in these amendments to its charter that such right should not be given under the guise of giving it a risht to go into any territory where a company was not actually operating. Opposition from Willimantlo. Mayor Dunn of Willimantic was ut- terly opposed to anything whic! £ive the Uncas company an Jatever which in any way interfered with the rights at present, and for a long time past, enjoyed by the Willi mi ‘nlv‘ manufacturers, for that v\mufl be' to the detriment of the city in which they were located. Smith & Winchester Co, “I object to having them come up and take our water,’ said Represen- tative Smith, of the Smith & Winches- ier Co. at South Windhom. “We have invested a comsiderable amount of money thers, have just built a new factory and feel that we ought to be thoroughly protected from their in- vasion of South Windham.” Mr. Comstook Explains. Mr. Comstock had little to say until no Intexfering with Bmith’s concern or interests. When he did begin Le went first into the objections of the Windham county people, “Nothing which we could have passed would give us the right to take any of these things that have heen talked abeut,” he sald. “There is a streteh of river between the Ameri- can Thread company’s lower dam and thought of the tail water of . the Uncas Power company with a 17°1-2-foot fall and this water ;rivilege belongs to the Pénemah comjany, which is represent- ed by Mr. Liriscoe, We couldn’t touch this or anything above under this res- olution. “If the Uncas company should raise its dam, 1t would ¢ost us millions of dollars for relocation of the railroad and overflowing all of the property affected. It s prohibited. any way. We don't wish to do.anythin- of the kind. We may later be obliged to raise our dam two feet, but that ie as far as we shall ever go—and not that far unless we have to, We Are en- gaged in a Lig business and opght to point of land which has hid to be cut off since, but both Mr. Comstock and Mr. Robbins had said no to his propo- sition that the company buy It, and with some little emphasis. When he | went on to the property to begin the contract he had no place to store his tools, even, and had hired the right to do this on the Cuddy land from its then owner. Mr. Maloney closed with & few in- cisive remarks which angered Mr. Comstock, who stated to the corfimittes that the ‘whole thing was simply a holdup and by no means all the facts had come out before the committee. Things were settling down when Judge Tingler of Rockville, a member of the committee, asked to see the original advertisement and petiticn and found that section 3 had not ever been advertised. He then said that he dian't at all like the look of the whole business; it seemed to him that the Uncas Power company was trying by a trick to get the state to give it rights over Mr. Cuddy’s land which it couldn't otherwise secure. There was no mis- taking the meaning of a few plain things he said, and Mr. Comstock was again impelled to be very forceful in reply, but he didn’t explain why the section had been held back except as he sald that resolutions following peti- tions very often were completely changed in’ thelr course through the legislature. This closed the hearing, but the Wil- limantic interests made It plain that their attention will be riveted on the subject from now on end that every effort will be made to get the eommit- tee to amend the resolution as they wish, in which proposal Mr. Maloney Joined on behalf of Mr. Cuddy.
