MAERz HITS NAIR
 AS INCONSISTENT
Democratic Leader Of Council
 CpiticiZeS Colleague
RESENTS VOTE ON BUS LINE
sixth Ward Alderman Contends Lawyer should Not Have Taken Part In Debate Because of Pro fCSsional Interest.

marsh citizens and claims Of ac- ton inconsistent with his member ship in the common council are made against Councilman David I4 Nair in a public statement issued today by Alderman John r, Marr2, democratic leader in the common |counCil.
 The alderman attacks the stand of the councilman in fho case of an up- peal for change in the Oak street bus system declaring that Nair, ag attorncy for the petitioner had no right to vote when the matter came | before the common council. At q subsequent hearing before the pub ! lie utilities commission in Hartford, Councilman Nair and Mayor A, M. Paoncssa had dispute over quos- tions of municipal procedure during
 Niacrx's Statement
 Some of Nair's remarks brought from Maerz the following statement today:
 T wish 10 take exception 10 the statements and infercnccs made hy Councilman David l.. Nair during a public hearing on an application for changes in the Oak street bus sys- tenn, before the puhlic utilities com mission last week.
 "Mr Nairs action in this case is not consistent with his membership in the common council, and I feel it is slap in tho face' 10 our city of- liciaIs, including the mayor and the ,entire railroads committee.
 ''In the first place, l fail to sec where Councilman Nair had any right to interest himself in this mat ter. His remarks in the common icouncil and his motion touching upon the proposed change appear to mo to he direct violation of the standing rules of the common coun- cil.
 "Soction II of the rules reads: When q question is put by the chair every member present shall vote, unless the common council for spc- Icial reason shall excuse him, but if personally interested in the result, shall not vote and no member shall he allowed 70 vote after the decision lis announced by the presiding off Iecr.'
 ''COunCilman Nair is member of the law firm acting as counsel for Rocco F. CaCchillO, owner of the line concerned. This is sufficient 10 give him interest in the case and restrict him from voting if my in tcrprctation ol the standing rules is .Correct.
 "I have taken tho trouble fo go- ing to the office of the public utiH- lti"S commission to certify reported statements by the councilman, Tho stcnographiC report of that hearing credits him with the following statement; 'Rcing a member of th, common council, I did not want tr take part in any argument, but .ius voted that it should not ho tabled Can you imagine such q vital iSsu, which l do not think should be dele. gated tO the members of the rail- rOAd committee of the city of New Britain l do not think it is possibtt to delegate if. l thought as a mat. tnr Of course that the mayor wou1l hay" somo part in it.

unactcd upon, were finally Gispos-
ed of.
The metropolitan water district

The constitutional amendment
advocated by members from the ru-
raj districts and which was intend
ed to give the rural counties con-
troll of the senate after 1881, was
