Bridgeport Circle Seeks Repeal of Electric Use Law
The Bridgeport Business Men's Association issued a circular urging repeal of Section 3196 of the General Statutes restricting electricity manufacture. Signed by secretary George R. Barnes, the letter argues the 1893 law is unconstitutional and benefits electric interests, pressing readers to lobby Senator Searles and the Judiciary committee for a substitute bill. It contrasts private rights to buy and sell electricity with monopolistic powers, urging prompt action and noting affectation across Connecticut towns and districts. Albert K Williams died at 33 at his Arctic Street home after a lingering illness.
