CHARTER FOR NEW REX POWER CD,
Asked For Before Interpretations Committee in Legislature Would be Located in Eastern Connecticut - Op ponents Claim That It Asks For Unusual Powers-At torney Comstock Appears For the Company.

There are three or four water pow CTS in eastern Connecticut which are undeveloped and the water is going to waSte'' said Attorney Charles w. Comstocl of Montville to the incor- porations committee of the legislature Tuesday afternoon and one company which has water power partly devel- oped is shortly going out of business This was in connection with his peti- tion for a charter for the Rex Power company, which by the charter he presented is authorized to acquire or take by condemnation any undeVelop ed or unused water power in New London or Windhaln counties for hydro electric plant and transmit the power thus generated anywhere in Connecticut.
 The company is not given permission to sell this electricity or in any way divert it within territory where an other corporation has retail rights, however, and MT. Comstock tried to impress the committee with the fact that he and the men associated with him, whom he didn't name, have no notion except to sell power at whole sale to municipalities or companies which have charter rights to sell al retail.
 His corporation is capitalized at $50,000 to start and has the right to increase this to $1,00o,000. It is em- powered to purchase other companies and exchange it's stock and bonds for
 
 properties thus acquired up to three quarters of their value Originally the charter gave the right to sell cleo tric:ty to the city of Norwich, but out of respect to the Uncas Power com pany. which MT Conastoclx saw to a reasonably secure position in the world, that has been cut out The right to carry on a street railway bus mess has also been cut out, but there is nothing to prevent the Rex Power company merging with some company which is distributing electricity and has street railway powers and then using them.
 It finally transPired that the defin it's thing MT Cemstock had in mind was to acquire the property of the Norwich Compressed Air Power com pany at Taftville, on the Shetuci<et river which is a failure and bound to go up socn, he said, and establish a hydro electric plant there. but he by no means was willing to have his charter limited to this project. He finally said to his opponents that if his company was limited to New Lon don and WinQham counties there were but two places for it to do business.
 There were opponents to his de- sires. John H. Buck of Hartford ap-

peared for the Connecticut River Go, Harrison B, Freeman. Jr-, for the Nol thern. Connecticut Power Co. and the Connecticut Cable Co, and L. A. Riplex of Glastonbury for the Glas- tonbury Power Go. The latter was fearful that AIr. ConstOck would come into Glastonbury and sell electricity to a fire district which ought to be- come the customer of his company. Fear was also expressed that this charter meant some sort of merger with the Norwich, Colchester and Hartford Electric Railway CO. which project, it was declared. was destined not to amount to anything because it could not be financed, owing to the re- strictions which the state of Connec- tfcut now puts about it's trolley char ter.
 AIr Buck and MT Freeman, with all the strength at their command, made the point that this petition of MT. Conlstock's had not been advertised as the statute says shall be done. Mir. Comstock replied that it was in no sense of an adversary nature. and therefore did not require to be adver- tised. Both the other lawyers diff fered radically with him there and insisted that charter which gave the right of eminent domain was cer- tainly of an adversary nature.
 MT Freeman called especial at tention to ! the right to condemn property for power transmission 
 to no other corporation chartered by the state and showed how easy 1t would be for Mir Comstoel1s corpora ton, if it was chartered, to get into the street railway business.
 MT. Buck declared the proposed charter far toe broad and gave it as his belief that 1t was intended to con- tain whatever provisions could be got past the legislature at this session and then either slightly amended later to vastly increase the powers or else merged with some other charter which had been locked away in some boGy's safe since the time when char ters granted were much less carefully scrutinized than now, or perhaps both. He pointed out that the bonding pow CTS were practically wide open and that through manipulation the cor pora ton could issue bonds to almost any amount.
 MT Comstoek argued that these ether gentlemen misunderstood his motives and ascribed to him purposes of which he didn't dream and said his reading of his proposed charter was not at all like theirs. The com mittee took the matter under advise ment for consideration in executive session
