TIE AIR LINE RAILROAD-NEw-HAvEN WATER
SUPPLY.

NEw-HAvEN, Aug. ga special town meet
ing held in this city to-day, called by the Seecmen
to act upon proposition to give the consent Of the town
OF New-Haven to the New-Haven, MddletOwn, and
Wilmantc Railroad Company to increase the issue OF
their first mortgage bonds, the Company having agreed
70 issue but 81 these bonds without such consent
The Company at the time promising this in its charter
supposed that that amount Of such bonds would be su
cient but owing changing the plan OF the construc
tion of the road and making improvements not
at t ns whsn Teater outlay
than was at first expected the Company asked the con-
OF the town TO the further issue. The meeting was
accordingly held 1t was stormy one, and demonsra
tive. resolution was offered giving the Company the
Sargent large manufacturer Of the town; lie urged
that NewYOrk and Boston capitalists should Dulld the
road, and that New Haven should retain the security
had. To this 1t was urged that the Company had
power by its charter to issue bonds 10 the amount o ha
request was but reasonable AFTER other proceedngs,
tunultuOus time had. At length quiet was restored
and the meeting adjourned to wednesday sept o. 10
take town vote, by wards, on the question.
The city has been greatly exercised owing TO fear
past this state OF things has been eliminating and
during this time the Mayor issued proclamat on en-
ing that il such use was made of the water, persons so
using it should be deprived of 1t entirely: Ihe water
company then forbade such of the water Several
conflicts OF this nature occurred between refractory
water consumers and the company, and much debate
that the water would be entirely shut on Upon TINS
the public became much excited. Housekeepers hlled
an lheiI pans anu tupo W 49,,
tumacOs persons sOpped the streets in front OF their
premises the last time" and manufacturers con-
sdered how salt water could be used in their boilers
with safety The friends of the rival Water Company,
which years has been striving to get equal privileges
with the old company grew exutint. The water was
shut off but only for few hours of last night IL was
then let again. In the meantime the old company
made an arrangement with the new company
TO purchase q supply of its water, and
the pipes OF the two companies are now
conneeted for this purpose The subject is the talk OF
the city. The friends of the company declare that
the Legislature will refuse its claims Owing 10
the compromise the citizens breathe freely and the
fear that the city would be left almost dcicnseless
against a cOnia grafton is subsiding.
