Committee Appelated to Employ Cooosel aadaFaod Baited for That Purpose. Are the CoBtracts Vallfl?-Uvely . DiscnssioaoltbeQaestloa. In response to a call ' Dubliahed in the city papers fifty or more subscrib ers to the service jf the .Wilmington Sewerage Company before its absorp tion by Philadelphia capitalists, met at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon In the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of considering the recent1 advance in rates, notice of which had just been received from the home office, and for which it is claimed there is no warrant in law or justice. As a result of the meeting a fund was raised to fight the advance in the courts, and a commit tee was appointed to carry put-that plan of action." At least a hundred other property owners, interested ia the movement, but who were detained on account of the rough weather, will be asked to join In the fight, and many have already signified their willing ness to do so. j . Mr. Maraden - Bellamy called the meeting to order. Mr. B. F. Hall was made chairman and Mr. F. E, Hasha gen secretary. The , chairman ' asked the committee which had called the meeting-Col. ' Walker Taylor, and Messrs. Wm. Gilchrist and Geo. 8. LeGrand to state the object The re quest was responded to by Col. Taylor who explained that by virtue of a con tract which original subscribers bsd with the Sewerage Company before its reorganization, they were to receive the service perpetually upon payment of $35 connection fee and $4 annually or $50 connection fee and $3 annually, thereafter; that the reorganised com pany had accepted payment of duea for the past two years Upon that basis and it was understood there would be no advance from those rates; that the connection fee bad been paid at the start by the subscribers and he did not think it right for the same com pany under the same charter to repu diate an apparent contract ; to make an arbitrary advance in rates equal to four or five times as much as they had been paying. - Mr. Hall asked If the legal status of the matter bad been investigated, and Col. Taylor said that he had conferred with Maraden Bellamy, Esq , whom he asked to give the result of any in vestigation he had made in reference to the question. Mr. Bellamy said he thought the contracts perfectly valid and binding upon the reorganised company. He said he had made a ten der of hia usual individual duea to the local office of the company and it had been refused, except as part payment at the advanced rate. He said that the matter could be fought in the courts by injunction in case the ser vice waa discontinued for non-payment of the higher fee and advised that procedure in the light of the in vestigation thus far made. He said it was true that the company : could change its by-laws at any time, but he did - not think a contract could be vitiated that was made under existing by-laws. . Messrs. B. a Cantwell, Timothy Donlan, S. H. Fishblate, H. E. Bonitz, B. M. Melntire, H. J. Gerken and others discussed the merits of the ob jection and it. waa easily , seen that a determined bddy of men had gathered for a fixed purpose to fight the ad vance to the bitter end. Mr. Cant well said the old company declared a dividend of 291 per cent, for five years and it could hardly be argued that the old rates were too low. Mr. Hall said that it should be granted, however, that the large dividends came largely from connection fees and : not from dues. .- ::- '- . : ;.'.'.'; " Messrs. Maraden Bellamy and Her bert McGlammv. both of whom were present, gave it as their opinion that the company is bound by the old con-, tracts, so long as it operates under the old charter Mr. Bellamy suggested that If it came to the "pinch" the Cor poration Commission could beaaked to Uke a hand and regulate rates. After further discussion, upon mo tion of Mr. R. O. Cantwell, it was car ried unanimously that each subscriber present be assessed $3,- or so much thereof as is needed, and that the same be placed at once in the. hands of a committee of five to fight the matter of the advanced rates in the courts. It - waa also ordered, upon motion it Ui TT Fiahhlate. that all others who desire to adyanUge - jn . wt . - . - w : - themselves or the litigation, ne re a nested to call upon the committee .Hri ABsm in Lfin . uiuvdludui ut u. ment of the assessment and that the chairman appoint tne committee, which he did, naming.
