 The minority differ from the majority on the ground thas the proposed change is un- constitutional except by recommendation to the town or city officials; on the ground that the whole subject has been heard and report ed adversely upon by legislative committee three years ago; on the ground that forced annexation like that proposed is against the policy in force in the different State; on the ground that despite newspaper agitation for consolidation there does not appear to be even in the city limits any general demand for annexation, and that with consolidation expenses, as many believe, would increase and not diminish on the ground that when a portion of East Haven was annexed to New Haven 1t was conceded only with the express promise that they should be let alone in the future and not be forced into the city, and that therefore question of good faith is in- volved.
 The report further opposes consolida- ton on the ground that the Chamber of Commerce has no power to make promises to outlying district which bind the city; on the ground that at town meetings more wealth is represented than in the city's board ot finance or in the Court of Common Ooun- oil
 Like the city, the towns expenditures are largely fixed charges. They consist of the State tax, tax for schools, interest on the public debt, board for insane, salaries, sx.

The fact that the social standing of many officers and enlisted men is on an equality as citizens when at home does not excuse social visits when on duty" !"
