On the 9Th day OF December, 1911,
the city. through its council. passed
4 resolution. the central part of
which is rs follows:
EE 1T RESOLVED that the City
|of Ration be. and hereby is authcriz-
ed to proceed as speedily as practic-
oole TO exercise SAID right. and to
that end. that it. through its city
council, select one disinterested per-
son. nonresident of the City of Ra-
ton. to act for said city. in conjnnc-
lion with one disinteresteI person
to be selected by the Water Works
company. and one to be selected by
those two, 20 arrive at fair ra!ua-
tion of said waterwoTks with all its
rights, proDerty and franchises"
a few days after this resolution
was passed. copies OF the same were
sent to the plaintiff. one being d.
rected to its New York office and one
to it's Ration office. but so far as the
evidence discloscs nothing was sub
sequently done by either party to
carry the resolution into effect unt;:
the plaintiff began this action on the
1st day of August, 1914, by which It
demands that the defendant be re-
Uuired to specifically perform the
contract which plaintiff alleges the
defendant accepted in passing the
resolution in question.
The defendant, by its answer. de-
nies the right of the plaintiff to spe-
cifc performance on the grounds of
follows:
I. That the resolution in question
was not an election 10 purchase.
2. That the council had no author
ity to purchase without the matter
having been passed upon by the quail
flied voters at q general election.
3. That even II the resolution in
question was an election to purchase,
the company. by its delay and negli-
renee In taking any action thereon
after SO long time. was estopped
from asserting it's rights.
! That court of equity has no
power to enforce the appointment of
appraisers in order to comEel the
submission of a controversy to arbi-
ltration.
Assuming that the resolution in
question was an election to purchase.
which is very doubtful. the court is
CT the opinion that the company can
not take advantage of 1t for the
reason that the city could not pur-
chase the waterworks system without
first being authorized TO do so by a
vote of its. qualified electors. BY
the constitution. as well as the stat

RAPID TURN I'M MONEY

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Suns
weekly review eff the financial situation
tomorrow will say!
Developments of forward bearing In
the field of values have been both
numerous and important In the last
few days The Wall Street stock
market showed efffy d monentary
sIackening Of the advancing impulse
which made the January rise rather
notable. It was mere clearly mani
fest that real stimulus to recovery In
securities had been provided by the
remarkably rapid turn In the money
toward extreme ease all over the
world Europe came III as factor OF
support to stocks In Wall Street by
proceeding to replace the holdings
with which 1t had parted many months
ago and foreign adviees contained the
most unqualiffedly encouraging infer
nation which American finance had to
consider. The domestic budget OF
news was more uncertain in Its I'M
plications. II suggested the possibility
OF some persistence Of restraint on
general bushes recovery.
OF all domestic occurrences toward
the end of last month the most cheer
ing was the steady direction of money
to investment purchases of high grade
securities at steadily rising prices
with large over subscriptions for new
issues. This may denote a suspicion
that stocks, whiih depend for their
attractiveness on the outlook for good
general business, have still too many
uncertainties to contend with that
creditor relation to American enter
prise is preferable to a status OF own
ership with the prerogatiyes OF an
owner subjected to vast contraction
by political encroachment. Yet 1t is
precisely in such direction OF money
to high grade corporate obligations
that in times past the financial found
ations have been laid for rearing anew
the structure Of American business
prosperity. We may not see clearly
through the murk OF political agrees
sions on capital how the task Of up
building is to be carried on, but
reasoning in such matters Is apt to
overlook the small part which logic
plays in human achievement compar-
ed with rhetoric.
