DANIELSON There was. considerable diseussion about the borough Tuesday over the resolution presented to the annual borough meeting by Judge M. A. Shumway Monday evening and havin; to do with the proj that the warden and court oi burgesses, or a committee to be appointed by them, confer with a committee of direetors of the Crystal Water company rela- tive to the proposed increase of water rates, in order that advantage bé taken of every oppertunity to aveid litigation over the matter and in the interest of economy, The text of this resolution, which wn‘, tabled by a vote of 8 to 4, until the first Monday in August next, follows: “Resolved, That the warden and burgesses, or a committee to be ap- pointed by them, are hereby author- ized and directed » confer with the directors of the Crystal Water com- pany in an endeayor to settle the mat- ters of the proposed increase of water |rates and the use and rental of hy- {drants for fire service in the borough. But, however, if the water company shall neglect or refuse to enter into conference for the purpose named, or shall neglect and refuse to give free aceess to all of its books of accounts, its corporate records, its plans, sur- Meys and ,maps, showing the sige and location of its dams and reser- veirs and all waterpipes belonging to the company or any documents in the possession of or custody of the com- pany to the burgesses or its commit- tee or legal counsel; or any civil en- gineers or @ccountant embployed -or designated by the burgesses or its committee, then the warden ahd [the court of burgesses are authorized to prosecute against the increase of water rates before the public utilifties commission or the court. of the state, if necessary, and to expend for the purpose such sums as may be re- quired ,not exceeding $2,000, until fur- ther appropriation is made.” In presenting the reselution Judge Shumway laid particular stress on the fact that he did so not as at- torney for the water company, not as 8 director of the company, nor as a stockholder of the company, but mere- ly as a citizen of the 'borough of Dan- ielson and in the interest of bringing ‘about a settlement of the water rates controversy without resort to hearings before the public utilities commission, if this be possible, and from the standpoint of economy in° handling the matter. Judge Shumway also stated that he presented the resolution upon his own initiative and without autherization or direction from officials of the Crystal Water company. He did not know how jt would be received by the of- ficials of the water company, he said, but he believed the court he outlined to be a proper one to follow. “If we believe that the water com- pany is profiteering we should be will- ing to spend our last dollar to protect jour rights,” Judge Shumway told the meeting, and that it seemed to him best and least expensive way to get at the facts pertaining to the water company’s earnings was to seek such an arrangement with the compandy as was provided for in the resolution. In presenting his statement in faver of the passage of the resolution, Judge Shumway called attention to the fact that tHere is no certainty that the borough will be successful in obtain- ing a reduction from the posed rates even after hearings before the public utilities commission and possi- ble contests in the courts “of the state. § In presenting the same before the tribunals that must consider it thers are only two questions that rightful- ly ean be considered, Judge Shum- way said. “Is the service that the water company is giving reasonably adequate; are the rates which the company charges reasonable?” Judge Shumway states that the public utilities commission has ruled, if his memory served him right, that public \service corporations were en- titled to earn up to 8 per cent. He called attention to the fact that the board of assessors of the town of Killingly has fixed §170,000 as the taxable value of the company’s prop- erty in this town and that the bor- ough of Danielson cannot with good grace represent before the public utilities commission that the com- pany’s property is worth less than that amount. All of these thrings should be considered before going to the commission, Judge Shumway told the meeting, and he also reviewed in his statement the ownership of the stock of the company, pointing out that a- bare majority of the shares are held here. Judge Shumway said he believes that the water company HERE’S THE NEW THINGS IN SPRING CAPS Extremely smaff, but nothing extrems. Light, easy fitting, no weight at all — either IN or FOR the Caps.

In comsidering another phase of the water rates con- troversy Judge Shumway told the meeting that while there may be some public animosity toward some of thesofficials of the water company this should not be allowed to blind the citizens of the borough from ap- proaching the settlement of the mat- ter under consideration with open minds. : Following Judge Shumway’s expla- nation of thé resolution and his antic- ipation of what it might achieve, At- torney B.

It is at least passing strange, in the opinion of some here, that only thirty-two voters oyt of a total of 888 repistered and entitled to vote in the borough should have come out for ‘thle annual bofough election, Monday. This is indicative of amaz- ing apathy. The optimists about town will tell you that. it is an indication of satisfaction with the manner in which borough affairs are being han- dled, but even this compliment is not altogether satisfying to borough of- ficials, who would much prefer to wit- ness a more widespread participation in the borough's affairs, which are really important. Freight service out of here was not materially different Tuesday from what it was before the outlaw strike, but temporary embargoes were’ in force, these to prevent congestion at transfer points on the . New Haven system and_ shipments were not ac- cepted for Uestinations off the New Haven's system. The shipping facil- ities, therefore, were somewhat crip- pled, though what is known as local freight was being accepted . The development of a fine industry at the old Whitestone mill property in East Killingly may résult in the ex- tengion of a power line of the Plain- field and Danielson Gas and Electric company to that part of the town. The new company, at least, will seek to have a line built to the plant, so if this is done the village . of East Killingly will be brought, for the first time, within reach of electric lights for its homes and business places. PUTNAM Putnam was not experiencing any discomforting effects of the outlaw railroad strike on Tuesday, though the movement of freight through this city haq @ecidedly slowed up. If this con- dition continueg for any protracted length of time, it will cause serious difficulties to manufacturers, it was stated on Tuesday. On Tuesday heavy shipments were coming here by express, chiefly from New England points. and ex- cepting for the activity of freight traing things séemed about normal in the local yards and at the station. All of the usual pasdsenger trains are continuing service through here, or were during Tuesday, though the to be dependedq upon for the through service between the mentioned. e BORN PECKHAM—In_Willimantic, April 7, 1920, a som, Roland Clayton, to Mr. and Mrs. Edmund J.

G Warner post of the G. A. R. here in Putham was disbandeq because of the dwindling number of its members, their advancing age and the conse- quent difficulties for them in meeting regularly and carrying on the usual duties that mdintenance of the post demanded, including the annual ob- servance of Memorial day, sacred to the memory of their fallen comrades. Recently Comrades McKachnie, Bu- chanan and Munroe of the G. A. R.at- tended a meeting of the American le- glon post here and suggesteq that or- ganization take charge of the Me- morial day exercises. The legionaires were warmly responsive to this sug- gestion and it has been adopted. Commander”E. F. Perry, M. D, of Anselm post, said Tuesday morning that a meeting will be announced in the near future to perfect plans for the Memorial day observance, The legion already has named a commiitee made up of Omer Robi- taille, Rev. Boyntowr Merrill, Kenneth C. Sharpe, Adolph Jarvais and Arthur C. Keith to represent Anselm May- otte post in making the preliminary arrangements. At the coming meet- ing, which may be held during the coming week, the degion members hope to have representatives of the Woman's Relief Corps, the Ladies of the G. A, R., Sons of Veterans, Span- ish War Veterans and other organi- zAtlong present, as all of these socie- ties are desired to -assist in making the Memorial da:’ program one of great impressiveness. TInvitations al- 50 afe to be sent to the . A. R, and to the K. of C. and other such or- ganizations to have representatives at the meeting. The legion post is anxious to have it understood that all organizations are wanted to take an active part in honoring the Civil war veterans to whom all who live in this country in these days owe so much. Cémmander Perry laid special stress Tuesday on the fact that all G. A. R. members and other veterans of the Ciyil war.are to be considered as members of the general committee that is to be named to make arrange- ments for Memorial day, which in all probability will be more impressively observed here next month than at any time for years past. Memorial day is a day dedicated to contemplation of the patriotism of those brave mem- bers of a generation that is fast pass. ing beyond and this year an effort will be made to bring many hundreds of Putnam people into active participa- tien in the céremonies of the day.
