TOWN TOPICS

DR. GORDON GETS AFTER CHAIRMAN
PECK.
CLAIMS HIS RULING WAS UNJUST AND
ARBITRARY.
To the Editor of THE BEE, Dear Sir:
ing, held on last Saturday, and which
was simply continuation of the an
nual town meeting held last Septem-
Der, and as both meetings were there
fore operative under the same warning,
l claim that the ruling of the chair
man, though let us hope thOughtless-
" rendered, sustaining the point OF
order raised in reference to the resOlu-
tions presented at last saturdays
meeting, was nevertheless unjust and
arbitrary. If the resolutions present.
ed at the October meeting were in or
der, no mention that action would be
taken upon the resolutions presented
and adopted at that meeting having
appeared in the warning, certainly
action upon the resolutions presented
at last Saturdays meeting was in Or
der and, therefore, the point Of order
raised was not we'll taken, as both
meetings were operative under one
and the same warning; but if the resO-
lutions presented at last Saturdays
meeting were out of order, then the
resolutions presented and acted upon
at the October meeting were out of Or
der and the point of order raised was
we'll taken.
The ruling, therefore, of the chair
man at Saturdays meeting, not being
in conformity with previous action
taken at the October meeting, was in
consistent and unnecessarily unjust
and arbitrary.
| Whatever was in order at one meet
ing must have certainly been in order
at the other and whatever was out OF
order at one meeting was certainly out
of order at the other.
1t is a recognized fact, the world
over, that it is a poor rule that will
not work both ways. Right is right,
and reason is reason. But to any fair
minded person, the sum and substance
of the whole matter appeared to be a
greedy desire upon the part of a some
body to take advantage of any subter-
fuge to stifle business proposition
which concerned the welfare of large
portion of our community as well as
the taxpayers in general.
Thanking you for the valuable space
afforded me, / remain Very respect
fully,IJames w. Gordon, M. D.

Judge Nobbs of the Bridgeport pro-

the late George f. Gilman, in spite of
