A Largely Attended Meeting Held at
Their Rooms.

An adjourned meeting of the Builders Ex-
change was held yesterday afternoon at two
o'clock. President Smith presided. There
was large attendance owing to interesting
business in regard to plan of estimating

against Mr.. r. K. Galley.
At exactly two o'clock Mr.. Galley arose
and stated that he had received a communi-
cation from the directors to appear before
the Exchange, and that he was there and
ready to answer to all the charges brought
against him.
President Smith here interrupted him and
said this was a very delicate matter that had
brought the Exchange together and as there
were two reporters present he would like to
have vote taken to see whether they should
be allowed to remain. On motion of Mr.. w.
Ii. Scott vote was taken and the reporters
requested to withdraw. The business was
then resumed and Mr.. Galley stated his case,
ending by rendering his resignation, which
was accepted.
The rules and conditions for estimate work
of the Exchange were then submitted includ-
ing the following:
Any member accepting contract on which
he knows he is not the lowest bidder, with
out the consent of the lowest bidder, or in
any way aiding or abetting an achitect in vi
olating any rules of code 1, shall be subject

$500, or to censure, suspension or expulsion

recommit the matter, and the committee were

SEBAco WATER AT THE CAPE.
A Town Meeting to Be Held on
April t4th.

AT the annual town meeting at Cape
Elizabeth it will be remembered the great in
terest conferred in the article proposing the
introduction of Sebago water. and that dur
ing the voting there were certain residents
of tine town present in the town hall who
wished to vote on the question, but whose
names were not on the check list. The mod
orator, after consulting with the leaders of
both parties present in the hall, and finding
so it was reported-that no objection was
made, so stated to the meetiu g, and permit
ted these residents to vote. When the polls
closed the party in favor Of the introduction
of Sebago had gained the ictory.
The opposition was not satisfied. After
weeks struggle with the question the OPP
position took the form of protest to the
board of selectmen, TO rbidding the consum-
nation of the proposed twelve years con-
tract with the Portland Water Company on
the ground of the illegitlity of the vote. Just
what course the selectlnen would pursue un-
der the circumstances was not known, but it
was believed that they would take no notice
OF the protest. but go on and close the
contract in accordance with the vote of the
| town.
Such, however. has not been the case. The
opposition consulted legal counsel. They
have worked the ground all over $50 it is re-
| ported and buttonholed the voters who do
not reside in the villages on the water front,
| and they now claim that full vote would
| entirely change the situation on the water
question. They say half the voters didn't
vote at the annual meetingr that the town
| vote at the March meeting was illegal. and
that Cape Elizabeth consequently has no
town officers today.
| Whatever may have influenced the select
men they have called town meeting at 2.3O
| p. m. April 18th, to see If the town will au-
thorize the selectmen to make and execute a
contract with the Cape Elizabeth Water
Company, in behalf of the town, for supply
of Sebago water for municipal and domestic
purposes and for the extinguishing of fires.
