 Judge Meades friends on the con- trary are giving assurances that there is nothing to it but Meade and that Lounsbury will get only five or six votes in the caucus. MT. Lounsbury is a son of former Senator Lounsbury of Darien.

VITAL OPINION ON HARB0R QUESTION BY FORMER
 CITY ATTORNEY MARR CITY NOT HELD FOR DAMAGES

of Apportionment for cause We are an elective body and they are an ap- pointive body and therefore as the di- rect representatives of the people we bave the greater power. We don't need the opinion of lawyer to learn that.
 We all know the Board of Appor- tionmelnt cannot appropriate money unless it is asked for by the Board of Aldermen or one of it's coordinate boards. Sc their real purpose of exist Ing is to curb expenses and not to create tfem. When this Common Council which made the 20 year wa ter contract says that it no longer wants to pay this outrageous charge Of $12,0O0 for using hydrants the city buys and sets itself, the Board of Ap- portionment should pay some atten- tion to tfe wishes of this elective body. Last year they said they did not have proper notification. This time they have ample time tC consider the matter.
 'There is another bad feature of this contract which every citizen of the city should give attention to and that is the section which says that the Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. shall pay taxes on a limited valuation. Why should this company be exempt of pay ing it's just dues?
 "There is a question whether the city
 
 right to enter into such an unfair prop osition. How can you fairly expect the Singer Mfg, Co.,, or the Union Me- tallic Co.,. to pay on a full valuation when you say to another corporation that after it pays taxes on a valuation of a small portion of it's property 1t shall not pay any more. The Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,, and the other manufacturing corporations have got to go out in the open market and meet competition, but this water company has not a single competitor. It has the whole field itself.
 Read the city attorneys report upon this question. It will show you plain ly that at the time the city made the 20 year contract it relinquished it's rights under the charter. With this contract out of the way the city will get what really belongs to it. At this time we should wake up and take what belongs to the, city. We should take the rights of the people in our hands and let the Board of Apportionment follow our example"
 Alderman Wilson next moved that the words '' be requested' be inserted in the committees report so that the Board of Apportionment would not think 1t was being ordered. This was done and the Council adopted the res- olution by unanimous vote.

 Even when the mayor stubbornly reiterated his now familiar war cry. T will take them to Hartford no mat ter what you do." there was no relent- ing.
 Alderman Wilson urged that the amendments were so unimportant. so innocent. naive and maidenly as it were. that 1t would be mere waste Of time to bother with them. The alder manic breath would be wasted upon things light as thistle down. The duty was to assent. The further duty was

for the Council to conduct ftsstf lowfx and reverently before those whom aE inscrutable providence had placed h authority over them. This was about the sense of 1t.
 Alderman McMurray was most in- polite and intrusive. The moro fre> quently he was reminded of his duty to be good and obedient. the ofteneP he insisted upon knowing what he waa going to vote upon

(From Our Special Staff Corres) i Hartford, Feb. 2.-Senator Holzer of
 Bridgeport to-day introduced a resolu- tion making an additional appropria- ton of s1O.O00 for the Bridgeport Hos- pital for the two years ending Sept. ,3e' l1911. this sum to be in addition to any other appropriation made for that 1n- stitution by the present General As sembly.

 Senator Holzer also introduced by request an act providing for the pen- sioning of school teachers in which many of the teachers of the city of Bridgeport are much interested. It provides that any public school or nor mal school teacher who has taught for not less than 30 years. the last 15 of which must have been in the state Of Connecticut, shall be entitled to pen- sion.
 For the purposes of pensioning the teachers are divided into three classes: Those who are earning from S5Oo to s1. .ooO per year shall be entitled to a pension of s200: those earning $1.OO0 per year shall be entitled to a pension of s4O0; and those earning in excess of of S1 900 per year shall be entitled to ension of $500. The matter is sub feet to the state board of education.
 A resolution was introduced in the Senate this morning through which the state of Connecticut will assert itself in the matter of the control of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad with which the Massachusetts general court has concerned itself so largely of late. The resolution reads as follows: s.The joint committee on judiciary IS <7s tod there is any danger of such action by any other state as will encroach upon the sphere of the constitutional author ity of this state over its own rallroad corporations and over railroads To- cated within it's territory, and if so. to recommend such legislation as may seem to he required for the purpose of preserving intact the just jurisdiction of this state over it's internal affairs"
