RESCUED AS HE :.
 HUNG OVER BRINK
Johnny Plaisted Slipped Off His Sled and Hung Over the River Until Pulled out by Stratford Man.

Johnny Plaisted was having lot of fun sliding down the Berkshire avenue hill to the Berkshire bridge this morn ing On his last slide he missed his bearings and the bridge entirely and went down the bank. He slipped off the sled when he reached the brink over the river and hung on for dear life. His cries for assistance brought out a crowd but no one dared to de- scend the bank to rescue him. The whole territory was covered with a sheet of ice. Below the boy was the river, above him the ice-coated bank. A number of efforts were made to each him but they were given up. The boy cried for assistance; he could hold on but a little while longer.
 Peter Bergen of Surf avenue. with friend appeared on the scene. Peter, who used to climb the Alps of Tipper- ary when a boy, was equal to the oc- casion. He cut holes in the ice with his heels and with his knife and finally reached the boy whose strength was failing and who would soon have slip ped over the brink into the water. About 200 people had congregated on he bridge and they witnessed the res cue.

Resolved: That the Common Coun- cil of the City of Bridgeport, hereby expressly disestablishing and discon- tinuing any harbor line hitherto es- tablished by it on the west side of Bridgeport Harbor and the Pequon- nook River, between Stratford ave- nue and the Outer Beacon, does here by pursuant to Section 57 of the Charter of the City of Bridgeport, ap- proved by the electors of the City of Bridgeport in November 190O desig- nate and establish harbor line on the west side of Bridgeport Harbor and the Pequonnock River from Strat- lord Avenue to Outer Beacon said harbor lire being designated and es- tabllshed in accordance with the par tlcular description hereinafter contain ca and being shown by the map align ments and survey hereto appended and herewith submitted and made a part hereof.

MAYOR STANDS l ON PREROGATIYE
Will Not Issue Call for Elec- tion of Harbor Master Un- til He Wants to.

'I may be wrong in the matter, but in my opinion the council cannot order me to call a special meeting for the specific purpose of electing harbor- master. The charter says that the mayor shall call meeting within a reasonable time The harbormaster, at the time of his last election, did not take office until February 19. The first, or second meeting in February will be time enough for the election. Let the harbormaster take office at the same time he did before"
 This was the statement of Mayor Lee this morning.
 Because the mayor has failed to is- sue the call for the election of har- bor master in response to petition signed by the twelve Republican al dermen and presented to him two weeks ago, Alderman Gould presented a resolution, last night, instructtng the mayor to call 3 special meeting for the election of a harbor master. The mayor ruled the resolution out of or der.
 Alderman Gould appealed from the opinion of the chair, and the appeal was sust aimed. -
 The mayor says he will call the spe- cial meeting, but that he will not spe- cify that it is for the election of a har- bOrmaster He claims it as his sole prerogative to call the election.
 : A vote was called for on the resolu- tion but Alderman Wilson came to the aid of the mayor and moved that it be referrerd to the committee on mis- celIaneous matters. One objection sends resolution to the committee.

FIGHT AGAINST
 WATER CONTRACT
 BEGINS AGAIN Alderman McMurray Would Renew Request to Board
 of Apportionment.
to Be Reported by Miscellaneous Commit tee at Next Meeting-City Entitled to Cheaper Wa ter-Opinion of City At torney Referred to.

Alderman McMurray offered to the Common Council last night a resolu- tion in which the council declares it. supply of water under the 20 year con- tract, and recommends to the Board of Apportionment that no such appro- priation be made.
 The resolution. upon objection to unanimous consideration being made by Alderman Wilson, was referred to the Miscellaneous committee, which will report at the next meeting.
 The resolution is similar in it's na- ture to a resolution adopted by the council a year ago. At that time the Board of Apportionment made the ap- propr iation, declaring that the matt CT had come before it at too late a period to be considered.
 Alderman McMurray read portions of the opinion of the city attorney, made to the council upon the subjee,t. He placed especial emphasis upon these portions of the opinion in which tAe city attorney said that the twenty year contract is actually a contract from year to year and may be broken when tion.
 Alderman McMurray said that ne considered one of the worst features of the contract the stipulat that the city shall pay in addition to fixed surns an unknown sum in the form of tax rebates.
 He also read from the opinion of the city attorney to show that the contract compels Bridgeport to pay more for water than it ought to be obliged to pay, under the charter of the Bridge port Hydraulic Company.

 For this reason MT. Morill cannot see the children. MT. Morill was rep resented by Stiles Judson, and the Bar oness Won Rombergf by Judge Stod- dard of New Haven and Attorney Cur tis of New York. Attorney Judson represented that the Baroness had gone against the direction of the court, and that the children were being brought up under German influences, whereas they should be educated in America with American ideas. Judge Gager reserved his decision and took the pa- perS.
