F. Carpenter of this city, counsel for the city of Put- nam, appeared before Judge William H. Williams of Derby, a judge of the superior court, in chambers in Rock- ville, Monday, and presented the appli- cation of the city of Putnam for the appointment of a commission to ap- praise the value of the plant and prop- erty of the Putnam Water company, tendered to the city in accord with the specia] act of the general assembly of 1905, providing for the establishment of a system of water works for the city of Putnam. Judge Williams appointed January 27 at 12.30 o'clock in the superior court at New Haven as the time and place for the hearing. It is understood that the firm of Searls & Russell and a Boston attorney will represent the Put- nam Water company. The action taken Monday forecasts the taking over of the water company’s plant and property by the city, which will make its first venture in munici- pal ownership of a public utility, Pro- ceedings leading up to the present step have been under way for some time, but the parties—the city and the water company—principals in the impending property transfer, have failed to agree up to the present time on all matters pertaining to the sale. The water company has heretofore tendered to the city its plant and property, fixing the value of the same at $300,000, The local board of water commissioners, Eugene A, Wheelock, J. F. Carpenter and Augustus I Morse, on behalf of the city offered for the plant and property about $100,000 less than the price asked by the Putnam Water company. This offer.it is believ- ed, was based on the value fixed on the plant and property by expert engineers employed by the water board to ap- praise the property. What the engi- neers’ figures were have not been giv- en out, and will not become generally known until they are given as testi- mony in the hearings that will follow the appointment of the commission, the personnel of which will also not be made known for some time. Under the special act of the legisla- ture permitting the city of Putnam to acquire a water works it was provid- ed that the Putham Water company should have a right to tender to the city its plant and property, and that the city take it as a just and equitable value. The parties being so far apart @s to the terms of the transfer that it would be necessary to have a long and exhaustive trial of the issues present- ed, it has been decided by the city to make application, as was done Mon- day, for the appointment of a commis-~ sion. The first official uction toward tak- ing advantage of the special legisla- tive act allowing the city to own and operate a water works system was taken Septemler 6, 1910, wher. at a special meeting of the common coun- cil, called for that purpose, it was vot- ed that a special city meeting be held on September 27, 1910, to vote on the proposition that the city establish and operate water works as provided for on the special act alluded to, the vot- ers at that city meeting recording themselves in the majority as favor- ing the city’s acquiring the Putnam Water company’s property. October 22, 1910, also in accordance with the terms of the legislative act, the Putnam Water company tendered its property to the city and filled with the city clerk detailed schedules as to its holdings. The conferences that have followed between the representatives of the city | and the representatives of the water company have not resulted in an agreement, so the commission asked for Monday comes next, for, under the terms of the special act, the city must take the water works system now, but yhat it will be called upon to pay for it no man can say at this time.
