Alexander of Providence Claimed in Application for Appointment of Receiver for Uncas Power Co.—Ex- orbitant Rate Lost $10,000 Contrac —De by Judge Thomas. on Reserved In the United States district court at New Haven on Tuesday, Attorney Samuel C. Morehouse made a motion to dismiss the suit brought in by Helen M. Alexander, of Providence for the appointment of a receiver for the Uncas Power company, of Norwich. The plaintiff is a stockholder and sets up in her complaint that the company is mismanaged and is wasting its assets. Mr. Morehouse claimed that the suit should be thrown out of the United States court because this court has no Jjurisdiction in the matter. The peti- tion, he sald, should properly under the ‘corporation laws of this state be heard in the superior court. The pow- er company owns a hydro-electric plant on the Shetucket river, One of the allegations made by the plaintiff is that the Uncas Power com- pany lost a contract worth $10,000 to supply power to the Rockville-Willi- mantic Lighting company, because it charged that company an exorbitant rate. She further says that the direc tors’ delegate all their power and au thority to the president and that muc money has been wasted in the pay- ment of counsel fees. Judge Thomas took the papers and decision was re- served. The plaintiff originally dissolution of the corpor: grounds that it was asked for a fon on the being mi: aged. An amendel complaint, hn\\e\er, asks for the appoint of a re- ceiver. The controver: o nally arose over the plaintiff’s supposed inability to secure an accounting. WHY CHANGE STONINGTON CHARTER? Borough Has All Advantages Now of Home Rule. The Hartford Times says editorial- ty: The intention of the people lving in the borough of Stonington to ask the general assembly for a new charter directs attention to the fact that the borough is the oldest in the state and that it has continued to thrive and live under {ts original charter which was granted in 1801. The charter has remained almost un- changed since. The fact is a tribute to the wisdom and far-sightedness of tho men who drafted the document, For fifteen vears after it was founded Stonington was the only borough in the state. It siood for those vears as a proof of the benefits of borough government. There are now twentv- thres boroughs in Connecticut. There were twenty-four until last yeer when under an act of the gencral assembly, the borough of Shelton was superseded by the city of Shelton. 1t is not easy to see a reason why the people of the borough of Ston- Ington should come to the legislatura for & change In their venerable char- ter, Under the home rule bill of the last session every local community of the state has the right to amend its own charter in such a way as to secure for it an adequate measure of home rule. There is a certain procedure to be observed but this procedure does not thwart the will of the people. It merely causes a delay that secures time for the ma- ture consideration of every propo- sition for a change. It is possible that the anclent instrument which | constitutes the fundamental law of the borough is held in such respect that there is an unwillingness on the part of the people themselves to change it, and that they prefer fo leave the unpleasant work of altera- tion to the general as o Of course the home e is merely an enactment of the ge: al assembly, and it is within the of the legislators of ar s any law that will nv it specifically or in a general way. The enactments of one sion a not binding on the legislators of any su ceeding session. Fut there has b the hope t the home rule law of 1915 would be given a fair trial. It other 1 will not have this trial if individual communities come before the general assembly and obtain changes to their charters, special acts, which could Just as wel have been made by the vote of the people themselves. The home rule bill appealed to the judg- ment of the legislature because it re- moved a source of legislative work which consumed time better occupied. The limit state constitution places on tion of a session makes it that no time shall be lost in for the general interests of the state. This necessity has accentuated. the be- lief that it is the part of wis leave to local communrties the duty o fstraightening out their own affa The general assembly should not be a clearing house for local troubles.
