of the contract and said: "Mr. Phelar
 had been very eloquent and at the
 same time had set up 8 splendid plat
 form, and in deference to MT. Buck
 ingham and the gentleman in the col lector's office hereby place MT. Phelan in nomination for mayor next Fall.
 There is. no one man power in our
 organization injected MT. Phelan.
 MT. Paige continued. "I am not in terested in the Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. and am not in it's employ in any form I want to appeal to you as in telligent men. living under our present form of government. with what I be- lieve to be good logic and not with political claptrap l. don't believe the time has come when we should depart from our present form of government and usurp the judicial branch which belongs to our courts. do not believe we should do this for popular approval and to gain the public ear don,t believe that we should lay aside our manhood and lay the matter De1ore the people to be voted upon.
 Judge Wheeler in his decision rela- tive to the case of the electric lighting company said that the city could not enter into a contract for more than one year I don't think Judge Wheeler would have rendered that decision if he had waited until now. want to show you that the city attorney. in his opinion upon the water contract, fail ed to differentiate, and when he tells us that the only way the contract can be broken is by failing to appropriate the money. he does not also tell us that the same decision speaks in favor of long term contracts.
 ssDo you think it your duty to step in and break this contract which was fairly made, just because the Common Council and a few outsiders have come in here and asked you to break the contract.
 .eWhen only fifty odd reople appear ed at the hearing which was held here don't you believe that all the rest or the people were satisfied with the con- tract?''

 Here MT. Paige read from an adver- tisement of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. in which it stated that two attacks had been made upon the contracts Tn the courts but that the suis had not been pressed. although the company had been ready to defend.
 He continued: I submit that we have been taking a lot of time m fTlreshing out something that has been gone yover several times before.s If the Common Council wants to break this contract it should instruct the city at torney to prepare a case and try 1t out in the courts I do not concur, with the City Attorney when he says there is no other way of attacking this con-

tract except through this board.


 Evidently the Common Council in it's present temper would vote to take some such sort of action as this.s The continuation of this agitation before this board is mere claptrap and poli- tfcaI buncomb. If it were not it would have been tried out long ago.
 MT. Phelan next moved that the en- tire appropriation of $12OO0 for water be stricken from the list. The motion was seconded by MT. Setzer, and the motion was lost by a vote of 6 to 4, the same members voting in favor to strike out the appropriation as voted in favor of the resolution.
 Before this vote was taken Friend w. Smith stated his position on the matter. He said the men who recom- mended the contract were men oc standing and he did not think that it was fair to go back on the contract which the city had entered into in good faith. He said he spoke with authority when he said that if the 1nequitable the Hydraulic Go. would welcome a commission to talk the mat ter over and male such changes as could be agreed upon.
 MT. Phelan presented a resolution recommending the appointment of the commission. but MT. Smith thought the matter should emanate from the Com AiiOH SOullCll dud 1C VOlCu dSdliiSI u. There were eight votes against the compromise proposition. MT. Phelan voting alone in favor of the proposi- ton and MT. Setzer refusing to vote on either side of the question::
 The resolution follows
 Resolved: It is the sense of this Board that the Mayor of the City, with the approval of the Common Council appoint a select commission, of not less than five persons. whose duty it shall be to invite the repre- sentatives of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company to a conference. upon a date agreeable. during April or May. 1909. to consider the respective rights and obligations of said Company and the City and it's inhabitants to each other under the provisions of the Green contract. so called specified in the Company's Charter. and to con- slider a schedule of future water rates for the City and public in conformity said commission to report fully with recommendations to the Common Council on or before the first in August. 1909. for it's con-

URGE HEMMENWAY ]
 FOR TAFT CABINET
Senate and House Leaders Want Indian.
 ian as Secretary of the Treasury.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 Washington, Feb. 24.-Strong efforts are being made by Senators and House leaders to induce President elect Taft to appoint Senator Hemmenway of Indiana as his Secretary of the Treas ury. If he does not accede to the wishes of the Congresssleadefs he must lay the foundation for future trouble with them. If he should name Hem, menway, he is pretty sure today to of fend President Roosevelt. Within a short time. the President, has scored Hemmenway for the report he made from the Appropriations committee on the secret service. He did, this in a letter to Senator Hale. How effec- tive it was, may be judged by the fact that Senator Hale at the last meeting of the Appropriations committee went out of his way to make a resolution strongly endorsing Hemmenway's plan.
 Apparently the members of the com r1ittee believe the President'a attack on Hemmenway is. an attack upon them, and they are endeavoring to get Taft to help them retaliate upon the President, making the Indiana Senator a member of his cabinet.
