KEY HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY U 1902. MAJORITY REPORT ADOPTED (Continued from First Page.) ed to say that his employer had not in fluenced him in that matter and did not have him by the throat. He said the corporation counsel had recommended the continuous contract as the better bUHiness proposition. He stood there prepared to swear that he was not in timidated or influenced by anything ex cept a sense of his duty. He wanted it underHtood that he was not throttled by anyone. He signed the report for the continuous proposition because he thought it the better one for the city. The city was paying now too much for the benefit of future generations. Now it costs the city $90,000 a year in inter-e.-l. In ten years it would cost the city $400,000 at the same rate of increase. Alderman Minor submiutd an opinion on the water contract compiled by At torney E. P. Arvine, and already pub lished In the papers. Alderman J. J. alsh thought that to accept this opin ion would be an insult to the corpora tion counsel, and he moved that the communication be tabled. Alderman Sayers seconded. Alderman Beocher ob jected and thought all communications from citizens should - be received and considered. Every taxpayer and citizen had a right to offer petitions and com munications, and have them read. Alderman Miller agreed with Mr. Beecher, his colleague, and thought that the opinion should be read. The motion to table was lost, and the opin ion of Mr. Arvine was read. : After the reading of the communica tion and opinion of Mr. Arvine by the city clerk Alderman Wright said that, In response to the resolution passed by .the common council, the committee had ascertained that no present member of the common council now owned stock In the-Water company, nor had for three years. " .Alderman Wallace preferred the mi nority report to the majority report, because the majority report contained many ambiguous things that might cost the city thousands of dollars. He thought that if the members remember they would remember that Mayor Sar gent's inaugural address was mainly in favor of municipal ownership of the waterworks. -He certainly would never be in favor of a contract with no limit or any measure that would put the city jn a place to bear the burden of any corporation. During the twenty years' 'existence of the company the people of New Haven had enriched It to the ex tent of four and one-half millions. The idea of putting in a clause forbidding the city from ever getting water from any other source was one of the worst features of the continuous contract. He fully sympathized with the mem ber from the Twelfth, but these ru mors must have some grounds. He did not intend to cast reflections on the member from the Twelfth, who, he be lieved, acted honestly, but he knew that members did not always act for the best interests of the city. He was satisfied that there was something akin to he didn't know what to call it something that made a cohesion be tween members of the common council and the "Water company. He proposed that the majority report be taken up item by item. It had been said that there were reductions to private con sumers in the continuous contract, but he failed to find them. He hoped that the members would not so act that pos terity would say they were a lot of d n fools or something worse. Alderman Conway opposed the ma jority report and didn't know why the city should contract to purchase water from onlv one company any more than 'It 'should contract to buy Are engines from only one concern. Alderman O'Keefe spoke against the adoption of the majority report, as did also Alderma.n Minor, who said that it fixed things so Chat the Water com pany would be guaranteed an 8 per cent, dividend for all time, paid out of the pockets of the people. The people would get but little in return. He thought that the franchise tax was in evitable, and that-to shoulder it on the city was unjust. He knew that a bill for a franchise tax was now being prepared for presentation at the next legislature. Alderman Miller spoke in favor of the continuous contract and thought that It was inadvisable to enter into a con tract to pay the company $20,000 per year for water used for public pur poses, as proposed and recommended by the minority report. He took up the various clauses of the continuous con tract and spoke in favor of each one. Alderman Dickerman said that it seemed to him that if a franchise tax was laid on the company and it was cheaper for the city to pay a water rate than to eave the company harmless from the tax and the amount to be paid by the city was indeterminable while under the ten year contract the amount to be paid by the city was fixed at $20, 000 per year and therefore a better bus iness proposition. Alderman Alcorn differed with his colleague, Mr. Dickerman, and eaid at the last time when the matter came up he had supposed that the franchising clause was in when he voted for the continuous contract but he had been mistaken. Now it had been inserted and other modifications had been made he was thoroughly in favor of the con ' nuous contract recommended in the lajority report. Alderman J. J. Walsh spoke for the majority report. He didn't see how any 'airer proposition could have been fiade. He thought that the committee Iras "pure as the air we breathe." The nembers were men against whom the inger of scorn could not be pointed and Hhat was more than could be eaid of 'some of those outside." There was nothing in tne contract wnirn tsam uiai. no company could drive wells and fur nish water to the pitizens of New Ha ven. At this nnint there was some laugh-1 ter and disturbance in the crowd ana Mr. Walsh said that he ut'faii'ed Lu speak without such interruption and said that if the interruption continued he would move to go into executive ses sion. President Hubbard requested that there be no more disturbance by the crowd of spectators. Continuing Mr. Walsh said that the continuous re port would at least save the city $200,000 and that was quite a consideration. He called attention to the minority recom mendation for a reduction in stable rates and then to the opinion of the corporation counsel in which that offi cial said that in hia opinion the city could not dictate rates to private consumers. Alderman Oerner favored the minor ity report and did not think that the city should be bound forever by- a water contract. He didn't believe that people were ever so strongly in favor of municipal ownership of water works as they are to-day. Alderman Minor speaking of the mat ter of a filtration plant said that "It was still under consideration by the company" and that a director when asked what had become of the plans for filtration said that he did not know. He thought it doubtful about any filtration plant being installed. In reply to Alderman Beecher Alder man Wright said that the Water com pany would not accept the continuing contract if any change was made in it as to the time when the city might purchase. Alderman Beecher said that if that was the case he would rather have a ten year contract. Alderman Minor presented a com munication to show what had been done in other cities regarding filtration of water and asked that it be read. Ob jection to.receiving the communication was offered by Aldermen J. J. Walsh and W. F. Walsh, the latter saying that 'the committee had fully looked into the filtration matter and that the commit tee had been informed that an expert had condemned Lake Whitney water and said that its filtration was abso-' lutely necessary. If the water was bad any ten people could petition the board of health and secure through the board filtration or purification of the supply. ,If the city went to the courts he would wager that the city would be beaten by the Water company the same as it was beaten by Yale college. Alderman Wallace moved that the communication be read. In reply to Al derman Miller the city clerk thought it would reauh'e fifteen minutes to read the communication. The motion to have it read was then passed. After the reading had proceeded a few minutes it was moved to recede from former action in ordering the reading of the communication and it was so voted. An aye and nay vote was then called for on the amendment to substitute the minority report ior the majority re port. Alderman Corcoran said that the peo ple whom he had beard express opin ions had declared themselves at the public meetings for lower rates to con sumers and free water to the city, and this was what the continuous contract provided. A vote on the amendment was then taken and the amendment was lost by a vote of 19 to 9, the members voting as follows: Ayes Messrs. Minor, McGill, O'Keefe, Miner, Fertman, Wallace, Conway, Dickerman, Barnes 9. Nays Messrs. Adams, Bronson, Cor coran, Sayers, Hosley, Erff. Maley, Beecher, Miller, Baldwin, Ailing, J. J. Walsh, Dawson, W. F. Walsh, Alcorn, B'oote, More, Hilton, Wright 19. Alderman Wallace moved that the majoritiy report be taken up by sec tions. Alderman Wright objected orr the ground that unless the contract was adopted they might as well adjourn and that taking it up by sections would be a waste of time. The amendment was lost by a vote of 19 to 9. An aye and nay vote on the adop tion of the majority report was then called for. Alderma.n Beecher moved to amend to provide that the city be permitted to purchase the water works at any time Instead of at the end of twenty-five years, as provided in the majority recommendation. Mr. Beech er later withdrew the amendment, and the vote on the majority report 'was taken, and the report was adopted by a vote of 20 to S, members, voting as fol- ' Ayes Messrs. Wright, Adams, Bron son, Corcoran, Sayers, Hosley, Erff, Moi -Roonher. Miller. Baldwin. Ailing, Walsh, Dawson, .1. J. Walsh, Alcorn, Barnes, Foote, Morse, Hilton Ju. Nays Messrs. Minor, McGill, O'Keefe, Gerner, , Fertman, Wallace, Conway, Dickerman 8. Alderman W. F. Walsh offered a mo tion that if the councilmen are in ses sion after 12 o'clock they be provided with a hot lunch at the expense of the city. A motion to' adjourn was lost, and the motion for a lunch was adopt ed and the board adjourned at 10:50. THE COTJNCILMEN'S MEETING. The councilmen were called to order at 10:58, as soon as the aldermen ad journed. As soon as the roll was call ed showing 42 of the 45 members being present, the absent members being Messrs. Hausman, Barnes and French. Councilman Elliott moved, since it was so late, that the board adjourn to meet again to-night at 8 o'clock. An aye and nay vote was called for and the vote was at once taken. The motion to ad journ was lost by a vote of 15 to 26, the members voting as follows: Ayes Messrs. Eames, Frederick.Cun ningham, Dwyer, Brophy, Logan, Guss man, Lukenow, Wells, Elliott, Booth, Jacobs, Bracken, Hine, Kelly-15. Nays Messrs. Browning, Mason, In gerso"ll, Parrott, Werweiss, Farrell, McGrail, Habersang, Feustal, Kehoe, Ryan, Pauly, Conlin, Huber, Hosley Manning, Harper, Davis, Coyle, Wohl maker, Bristol, Thompson, Brown, Rus sell, Boyer, Hughes 26. Councilman Ingersoll moved then, af ter the reading of the committee re ports washegun, that the board at once proceed to action and that the majority report be adopted. Councilman Frederick moved that the minority report be substituted for the majority report. Councilman Elliott took the floor. He said that the contract should not be entered into without the members un derstanding its full import. He was willing that the reading of the reports should be dispensed with. He then proceeded to an analysis of the minor ity report, of which he was one of the two signers. The minority members were not exartly pleaded with their recommended contract, but it was the best thing that the Water company could be compelled to enter into and live up to, and the company could be compelled to uu this under the piovio ions of the present contract. Mr. Elliott thought that the city should say what it should use water for and to demand that the company supply water for those uses not let the company dictate what the public uses of water should be. The minority pro posed, in substance, that the present contract shall continue ten years long er. Ten years might be encompassed by a look into the future, but thirty years or more could not be. The only right to terminate the contract under the continuous contract lay with the Water company, and not with the city of New Haven. Mr. Elliott then proceeded to a crit icism of the clauses in the continuous contract, endeavoring to show that they were not to the advantage of the city. As to the schedule, he had nothing to say. He thought there was a reduc tion to families living in single houses, and it would appear that the AVater company would have $5,000 less on that account, but this was more than made up for in other rates. He thought that under the continuous contract the ar bitrators would sooner or later put pri vate citizens on meter rates. He said that the reference to filtration was merely a sop thrown out there was no agreement there. The managers of the AVater company were as good citizens as there are in New Haven, but the contract contained no guarantee that they would remain such. The city ought to farm out such a contract without an agreement to govern the quality as well as the quantity of the water. Concerning the compensation that the city is to pay for all the promises of the company, he referred to the city's agreement to save the company harm less from the franchise tax, or pay for water used for public purposes at meter rates, less 25 per cent. He thought that the company should pay for the use of the streets for pipes. The time was coming when these companies would have to pay franchise taxes and to pay for such uses of the streets. The mode of taxation would doubtless be changed in twenty or twenty-five years, and no one could now see what the mode of taxation would then be. Then the peo ple would have to pay for the AVater company, or pay for water at retail rates. The Westville school district pays $20 per hydrant, and the city at this rate would have to pay "$19,420, within $580 of the rate the city would pay for all purposes under the minority recommendation, and besides this 75 per cent, of meter rates for the water. That amount cannot be accurately estimated. In a hundred different ways in the con tinuous contract were elements that cannot now be determined. Good busi ness men would not enter into that con tract for ten years, lot alone for all time, v As to the right to purchase at" the end of twenty-five years he said that the par value of the stock was two and one-half millions and to-day 120 was being offered and refused with no tak ers because there was a probability of this continuous contract going through. This generation would never have an other opportunity to purchase the com pany's property. "Hardly anyone would admit that city affairs were conducted on such strict business principles as the business of the AVater company. To put this through all the best legal tal ent in the city was being employed and he would say he was not being em ployed and was perfectly willing to be outside the best pale of the best legal talent on that score. Not a single ma terial point in the continuous contract had been modified since it was first con sidered. At this point Councilman Farrell asked, after Mr. Elliott had been speak ing nearly an.hour, how long each mem ber was to be allowed to speak. Every one should be given a chance. Presi dent Harkin replied that each member could speak as long as he pleased. Mr. Elliott continued and said that under the continuous contract the city surrendered for all time all vested con trol it now has over the Water com pany. "Gentlemen are you willing to surrender your constituency for sixteen cents a head? Let any one rise who is." Four times as much would be paid for water under the continuous con tract as would be paid if the city bought the company's property. "Let's do business for the city of New Haven the same as we would for ourselves, pay for what we get and get pay for what we give. We can't do it under thie contract. AVe may for a time get water free but we or our posterity will pay more than it is worth." Mr. Elliott closed at 12 o'clock after having spoken a little more than an hour. Councilman Mason, a member of the committee who signed the majority re port, was the next speaker. He said that the franchise, length of time to purchase, cost to the city, cost to the consumer and length of time of the con tract were the five points to be consid ered. He spoke upon each of these points and on the cost to the consum ers said that ail the real estate people like the continuous contract because it brought down the cost to consumers. One prominent real estate man said it brought the cost to his clients down 5 per cent, and that was quite an item. He considered that he was sent here as a representative of a ward and his ward wanted the continuous contract. In his personal 'opinion the continuous contract was the better. True there were some things in it which should be changed but even at that it was better than the ten year contract, which only provided reduction for stable rates and how many people had stables.. More than that it would make the city pay $20,000 per year. He said that he acted largely on the corporation counsel's opinion in his consideration of the con tract. Councilman Farrell favored the ma jority report because that committee had reported progress so far as it went and he did not think that the city could now sustain the burden of purchasing the company's property. Councilman Wells read a written speech, in which he opposed the con tinuous contract. He spoke for thirty five minutes, closing at 12:40. The next speaker was Councilman Manning, who thought that it would be a saving to the city to adopt the con tract recommended by the majority re port. The coming generations would be equal, he thought, to any emergency that might arise. What could be done to-day to secure a substantial benefit should be taken into consideration. The Water company was situated in New Haven and whatever affected the city would affect the company. He thought thnt the company would deal fair. No one had offered him anything to influ ence him and he thought that no one would dare to do so. Councilman Logan said that he failed to find anything in the majority report to cause him to change his opinion in regard to the continuous contract. He thought that free water in lieu of taxa tion would prove pretty costly. He be lieved that it was for the interests of the city to adopt the ten year contract. Councilman Harper spoke in favor of some contract whereby the city would know what it was getting. He thought that the minority report for a ten-year contract should be adopted. Councilman Bracken said that he felt sure every man. came to the meeting with his mitfd"'m!Id'entp.' He. eaid -that he had characterized this continuous contract since it had been under dis cussion as a "damnable steal." He didn't know but the other members were as honest as he, or more honest, but he didn't think that any one of them would favor such a contract for himself. He for one favored the minor ity report. ! Councilman AVerweiss thought that the time for some action had come. The upper board had acted, and the lower board should come to some action as soon as possible. It was time to cast the vote and let it go to the mayor, a judge and an able man to consider it. Councilman Dwyer thought that those men who drew up the continuous contract were ingenious men, and that they would be millionaires sometime. He was not in favor of the continuous contract. Councilman Kelly spoke for the mi nority report. He objected to the ex ecutive conferences of the committee with Water company representatives. The committee had not acted in ac cordance with the evidence taken at the public bearing. Councilman Frederick called attention to some typographical errors in the printed committee report and for an aye and nay vote on substituting the minority report. The motion was lost by a vote of 15 to 2fi, the members vot ing as follows: Ayes Messrs. Eame?, Cunningham, Frederick, Dwyer, Brophy, Gussman, Logan, Lubenow, Wells, Elliott, Booth, Jacobs, Bracken, Hine, Kelly 15. Nays Messrs. Browning, Mason, In gersoll, Parrott, AVerweiss, Farrell, Mc Grail, Habersang, Feustel, Kehoe, Ryan, Pauly, Carlin, Huber, Hosley, Harper, Manning, Davis, Coyle, AVohlmaker, Bristol, Thompson, Brown, Russell, Boyer, Hughes 26. Councilman Boyer moved to postpone action until next meeting. An aye and nay vote was taken and the motion was lost by a vote of 24 to 17. A motion to adjourn was lost, and Councilman Mason moved the previous question. An aye and nay vote on the adoption of the majority report was then taken, and the report was. adopted by a vote of 25 to 16, the members vot ing as follows: Ayes Messrs. Brown ing, Mason, Ingersoll, Parrott, AVer weiss, Farrell, McGrail. Habersang, Feustel, Kehoe, Ryan, Pauly, Carlin, Huber, Hosley, Manning, Davis, Coyle, AVohlmaker, Bristol, Thompson, Brown, Russell, Boyer, Hughes 25. Nays Messrs. Eames, Frederick, Cun ningham, Dwyer, Brophy, Logan, Guss man, Lubenow, AVells, Harper, Elliott, Booth, Jacobs, Bracken, Hine, Kelly 16. The board adjourned at 1:15 this morning after the taking of this vote, without having had the hot lunch voted them by the aldermen. APOLOGIES FOLLOW INSULTS (Continued from First Page.) concluded with a section calling for the sine die adjournment of the convention. The presiding officer declared the reso lution out of order and the little towns applauded. The sponsor of the meas ure of adjournment finding himself balked temporarily by the president persisted and in a din and regardless of the gavel's raps . read his resolution through to. the bitter end. The little towns snuffed the thing out by the usual overwhelming vote as soon as things became quiet enough to permit a vote. The convention was called to order by President Andrews at 11 a. m. The prayer of the chaplain had hardly been uttered before Mr. Davenport of Bridgeport sent to the desk of the clerk a resolution. It was a measure of many whereases; its "Therefore be it Resolved" was for sine die adjourn ment. The opening sentences of the resolu tion were so pointed as to disclose im mediately the spirit of It. Promptly Judge Andrews stopped the clerk in his reading, and with a rap of the gavel de clared the resolution out of order, add ing, amid applause from the little town delegates: "Anything that is an insult to this convention must be out of order here." Mr. Davenport jumped to his feet and demanded: "How is the resolution out of order before it is read?" Mr. Smith, of Plymouth, character ized the resolution as "unworthy of the gentleman." "The utterances of that resolution," he said, "are falsehoods." Mr. Davenport, with much coolness, arose and announced that he would read the resolution, and he proceeded. The resolution follows: Whereas, This convention is compos ed of 168 delegates from the several towns in the state, of whom 112 con stitute a two-thirds majority; and Whereas, 112 members of this body are delegates from towns whose total population is only 118,000, or about one eighth of the population of the state; and AVhereas, A large majority of said Pimples Vanish when Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is taken.

Donald T. Warner, the delegate from Salisbury, after being determined upon in a series of caucuses from which dele gates holding different views were ex cluded; and AVhereas, The. delegates from a large majority of said towns have declared that neither in this convention nor in the general assembly will the represen tatives from those towns ever consent to vote for anything which will de prive them of equal represen tation with the larger towns in the lower house; and Whereas, The composition of this body and of the legislature is such that no relief from such injustice for the larger towns can ever be expected from either; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the convention, That, recognizing the undeniable and inde feasible right of the people of this state to alter their form of government in such a manner as they may think best, we recommend to His Excellency, preme executive act, that he recommend to the electors of this state, acting through the existing electoral machin ery in the several towns, to elect dele gates to a constitutional convention to be composed in a manner to be desig nated by him, so that a majority of the electors of the state shall choose the majority of said delegates, which con vention shall be held at a time and place to be named by him, and shall frame a constitution to be submitted to the electors of the state for their ap proval at electors' meetings warned and conducted in the manner in which by law all electors' meetings are warned and conducted, and that this convention do now adjourn sine die. During Mr. Davenport's reading of his resolution his voice was constantly drowned by the handclapp'ng of the majority, who apparently were ap plauding the efforts of President An drews to call the Bridgeport delegate to order. . The president rapped inces santly with his gavel and the din among the delegates continued. ' Mr. Daven- j port paid no attention to the noise and he heeded not the gavel of the presiding officer. When he finally concluded there were loud shouts, "Out of order!" and President Andrews was heard to say, "Not in order." Mr. Davenport retort ed, with the query: "On what principle of parliamentary law Is such a resolu tion declared out of order?" Former Governor Waller sought to spread oil on the troubled waters with the remark: "AVhile I do not sympa thize with the resolution, I think it should be read by the clerk;" and this was finally done. At the conclusion of the second and official reading Mr. Brinsmade, of Washington, disputed Mr.' Davenport in the assertion that "caucuses" had longing the discussion? In my judg ment it is utterly useless to continue." By this time the majority had given signs of a desire to get at the resolu tion to a vote. Delegate Loomis amended his motion so as to provide that the resolution should not be received by the conven tion. The motion that the resolution be not received was then' passed with only a few dissenting votes. At this juncture Charles Hopkins Clark, the delegate from Hartford, and editor of the C'ourant, took the floor. He stated that the Courant's informa tion about the caucus referred to came from a delegate who was present at the caucus, after a reporter of the Courant had been denied admission. Mr. Clark added: "I propose to run the Courant as I see fit, and I propose also to do my duty as a delegate to this conven tion." The debate became desultory at this point and after some moments the con- 3 1 fir film (TmiCLt. (Continued on Klghth Png?.

When it came he took the floor, and with much feeling called attention to an editorial in the Hartford Courant of this morning. He said: "I regard this as a personal in sult, to myself and to the members of this convention. Talking of caucuses," he went on, "talking of caucuses, is it treason or schism to participate in a caucus?
