At 11.10 o'clock Monday morning in the town hall the delegates to the re- publican state convention from the 19th senatorial district, comprising Norwich, Ledyard and Preston, met to choose two delegates at large from the district to the state convention and to nominate a member of the state central committee from the district. The meetinz was called to order by John D. Hall of the republican state central committee, who read the call of the meeting and invited the dele- gates to dinner at the Wauregan house following the meeting. On motion of Judge J. H. Barnes, Henry H. Pettis .was made chairman. He said he would express his apprecia- tion by not making a speech and urged the delegates to show good feeling if | there were contests and do nothing to imperil the success of the party at the election to be held in the nation, state and towns. William I Allyn was made clerk, and the chairman named Judge Barnes, Everett Gallup of Ledyard and W. Trumbull Whitmarsh as a committee on_credentials. . Mr. Pendleton tried to explain the credentials from Preston, but was told | they would be looked after by the com- mittee on credentials, but he said he wanted to discuss the matter before a full house. He said he knew he was up against trained lawyers. He abided by the ruling of the chair. After a short recess, Judge Barnes said the report of the committee on credentials was unanimous and the list of delegates was as follows: Joseph H. Hen on, John H. Ea Hen E orge N. Beardow, Norwich: Pett William 1. Allyn, Everett Gallup, Led- yard: Eckford G. Pendleton, Arthur B Shedd. W. Trumbuil Whitmarsh, Wi liam B. Mitcheli, Preston. Judge Barn: plained that Will- am G. Mitchell had a prozy from “harles C. Zabriskie, who was chosen at the Preston caucus, and it was signed April 1. James G. Woods claimed to be a delegate in place of Mr. Zabriskie but his credentials were dated Sunday, April 2, and ne was chosen by the ‘other members of the delegation. Judge Barnes said the committee rejected the creden- tials of Mr. Woods on account of the fact that the proxy issued by Mr. Za- briskie to Mr. Mitchell had not been reyoked. Mr. Pendleton’ sald that Mr. Za- briskie had refused to attend the con- vention and the remaining delegates had chosen Mir. Woods and he reaa the laws governing the party to prove the action was correct. Mr. Zabriskia had s he would not attend the convention. A vote was called for and the mem- bers were asked to rise and four voted for the report of the committee and three against. "The report of the committee vas ap- proved. Upon_the vote of Judge Barnes Ed- win L. Burnap of Norwich was chosen a delegate at large. Mr. Pendleton aid the Preston delegates were there to demand a vote for Mr. Woods ana if he could not vote the other deles gates did not want to. Mr. Pettis explained that the ac. tion of the committee and the vote of the convention was final. William I Allyn named James G Woods for delegate at large but he said he would not be able to attend. Mr. Pendleton went up and_spoke to Mr. Woods. Then Frank H. Smith of Norwich was chosen upon the mo- tion of Mr. Allyn without opposition. Mr. Pettis called for the nomination of a member of the state central com- mittee and Judge Barnes proposed the name of Albert J. Bailey. As there were no other candidates a vote was called for by ballot and Messrs. Hen- derson and Shedd were made tellers. Twelve votes were cast and as Mr. Bailey had ten and Mr. Pendleton two the former was declared elected. Judge John H. Barnes was chosen a vice president of the state convention, Frank H. Smith a member of commit- tee on permanent organization, J. M. Henderson on credentials and Arthur E. Shedd on committee on resolutions. Judge Barnes said he would pro- pose the name of Mr. Pendleton as member of the committee on rules which is one of the most important committees. This motion prevailed. A committee formed of Messrs. Allyn, Whitmarsh and Beardow was empow- ered to notify Mr. Bailey of the action of_the meeting. While they were out Mr. Pendleton moved the election of Mr. Bailey be made unanimous and it prevailed and Chairman Pettis expressed his pleas- ure. Mr. Bailey was ushered into the hall and made a specch of acceptance. Ha said he would have asked the delegates to dinner but the invitation had been extended by Mr. Hall TYLER D.

Fitch. | ence host will be Dr. At thelr regular monthly meeting in the council chamber on Monday even- ing the court of common council pass- ed a resolution authorizing’ the board of Gas and Electrical commissioners to purchase two new 430 h. p. boilers and equipment for the municipal electric plant. The Fesolution was presented at a speclal meeting of the council on Tuesday evening, March 14, and at that time it was tabled on motion of Councilman Telley E. Babcock. The council meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by His Honor May- or Timothy C. Murphy and the roll showed the only absentee to be Coun- cilman Hugh Kinder. The minutes of the previous meeting were approv- ed and accepted without reading., Sheriff George H. Rouse’s return on the Elmwood Avenue sewer was read and accepted. Alderman Henry Gebrath reported that the police commissioners had in- vestigated the petition for a light on Meyers avenue at the head of Aborn street and found it would be too close to the other light in that vicinity and recommended that the petitioners be given leave to withdraw their peti- tion. The report was accepted. Alderman Gebrath also reported that the police commissioners recom- mended that Luke Riley be placed on the supernumerary list.

Babcock mov- ed that the boiler resolution which was tableq at the special ‘meetin® on March 14th be taken from the table his resolution was seconded and pass- cd. The resolution was read by Clerk Arthur G. Crowell and discus- sion was then in order. Councilman Babcock said that it seemed to him, now that the gas and electric commissioners have signed a contract with the Uncas Power com- pany for partial power that they need- ed the new boilers to fall back on. He further stated that it was his opinion that any saving through the power supplied by the municipal plant would decrease the tax in proportion. Alderman Gebrath arose to state that the earnings of the Gas and Elec- tric department did not effect the tax. We don't get a cent benefit out of the surplus earnings of the Gas and Electric department. Do I understand that all the profit roes back into the department’s treas- y, -asked Councilman Babcocx. Yes, that is correct, said Alderman Ge- brath; it is divided between the de- preciation and sinking funas. Cheap Power in Norwich.
