About fifty valuable canary birds kept in the private aviary on the C. 8. Andrews estate in Stanley Quarter, were sufficated to death late last night by the fire which did about $200 dam- age to the house. The fire is sup- posed to have started from crossed electric wires. At 10:33 o'clock an alarm was sounded from Box 415 and Engine companies No. 1 and 3 and Hook & Ladder company No. 1 réesponded. The fire was confined to the kitchen where a table and cupboard were burned and the walls charred. The birds were all confined in the aviary in another room, but the denso clouds of smoke from the fire caused them all to die of suffocation and when the owners went in to see about them they were all dead in their cages. The entire lot of fifty birds was valued at about $200 by the own- er. CATHOLIC WOMEN INSTALL NEW OFFICERS Margaret Forsythe Leads Bencvolent Legion—Miss Grace Supremc Deputy.

New Britain will not venture inte the electric lighting and power busi- ness. This was dccided beyond any question of doubt last night in old Turner hall when Mayor George A. Quigley asked those who came there for the city meeting to express their opinions regarding the project. Not a good word was said for the propo- | sition but there was plenty of criti- | cism. As a result of the expressions of opinfon Mayor Quigley announced that he would not approve a resolu- tion adopted by the last council in favor of the step. means the obsequies of the resolu- tion as the statutes require that it shall be passed by two consecutive common councils and approved by | the mayor. It will die a natural death and, judging by the sentiment | of the meeting, it will be nccessary | to hire mourners. { Prominent among the opponents of the measure was ex-Senator Andrew J. Sloper, who is interested probabhly | in more manufacturing concerns than | any other man in New Britain. Mr. | Sloper gave a clear explanation of why | be objected to any such steps aml if any argument had been necessary { his words would have heen sufficient. After the city Mayor Quigley informed he wanted an informal discussion of the lighting question and that he had seized the opportunity of getting in touch with the people and securing their opinions in this matter. Judge Cooper Explains Situation. Edward F. Hall asked Mayor Quig- ley to explain the present status of the project and the latter called on Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper for the explanation. As has been printed in the Herald it would be necessary to have the approval of the people at the city election next spring and also their second endorsement after an ap- -praisal of the plant of the United Electric Light and Water company has been made. Judge Cooper said the resolution had not been approved as yet by the mayor who wanted to learn first the sentiment of the tax- payers. Councilman O. F. Curtis asked Judge Cooper what the cost would be of an appraisal after condemnation proceedings had been instituted. The reply was that the appraisal might | cost the city $25,000 and that the cost of the plant might run as high as §1,500,000. “Foolish Propostion,” ex-Mayor Pease { “This is the most foolish proposition | the city could go into,” remarked ex- Mayor I. Hoyt Pease. Edward L. Hannon asked for opinions of mem- bers of the common council who had investigated the project. Ex-Representative Thomas H. Ke- hoe inquired whether the appraisal would include all the *“wind and water” | in the company.or just the physical plant. Judge Cooper replied that the appraisal would probably be estimat- ed on the earnings of the company as a going concern. He said it w a question as to how high the ap- praisal experts would go. Councilman Curtis believed the ven- ture might cost the city $2,000.000 be- fore all details were completed and a new plant erected for the manu- facture of electricity. A. J. Sloper Explains Defects, lix-Senator Sloper referred to a remark by Judge Cooper in which the Jatter said he believed the New RBritain end of the United company paid $85,000 a year franchise rental 10 the Housatonic Power company. Mr. Sloper believed those figures too low. The “United” pays $1,000 a day rental for all its holdings and he believed Waterbury and New Britain contributed two-thirds of his. The net income of the concerns is estimated between $150,000 and $180,000 and this would have to come out of the city’s pockets if local end of concern were seized by condemnation pro- ceedings. “New Haven” Wanted Over $2,000,000 Some vears ago in the interests of | the New Britain, Gas Light company, T talked with President Mellen, who was then at the head of the New Ha- ven road with a view of buying the clectric lighting business in this city,” | said Mr. Sloper. “T am not at liberty to state the price asked for the business but $2,000,000 was less than what the New Haven road thought it was worth.” A GLEAR COMPLEXION | Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Eyes | | —Most Women Can Have | This meeting. those present | | I Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known Ohio Physician Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ail- m-=nts. Dur ug these years he gave to his | glficnts a pr scription made of a few well- nown vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, you will know them by their olive color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a normal | action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter that one's system collects. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull | eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, in- active bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards’ | Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note | the pleasing results.

He pointed out the fact that even if New Britain did take over the lighting business it would still be in the grasp of the “United” people as it would be necessary to buy power from them at their Bull's Fridge generating plant. He spoke of the big bond issues needed for the de- velopment of the water supply in Bur- lington and for the installation of a new sewage disposal plant and ques- tioned the wisdom of going in ‘too decp. Mr. Sloper stated that he repre- sented a considerable part of the {axpaying interests but would have no personal objection to the lighting pro- ject if the city were in better financial circumstances. However, he could not see where it would be other than o burden with no profits accruing for ot least ten years.
