The plan install candle power lamps in the semi-business section is embodied in the plan of the board. At a joint meeting of the commit- tee consisting of Councilmen Landers, Lurtls and Andrews and the board of public works held vesterday afternoon in the mayor's office in City hall, this was decided on after a meeting that at times threatened to reach pyro- technical proportions, due to the at- titude of Councilman Curtis, who ghroughout the meeting, opposed the establishment of the proposed white is to have that white way. is, the special vor at Wednes of the last night’s works arc committee | common | | to | pat You QUHHY, READ THIS orry never brought any ygood to anybody. But, yousgay, ‘‘Idon’t worr, because I want to, 1 worry because can’t help it.’’ Or, ‘‘I worry because 1 have so much to worry about.’” We all have our troubles and worry, of course, makes matters worse. The patient generally recognizes this fact without being able to profit by it. The doctor who could meet this ner- vous condition and cure it would be the most popular medical man alive. But he cannot do it because the form of nervous exhaustion known as neuras- thenia, of which worry is a characteristic symptom, must be cured by the patient himself.

The meeting, which was scheduled to commence at & o'clock, was put to a needless delay on account of the non- appearance of His Honor. It took hut a few moments to get things going however after he strutted into his sanctum sanctorum. He read the res- olution passed at the last council meeting calling for referring the vote of the board of public works on the white way back again, and naming a committee from the common council to confer with that commission on the light matter The common council com- mittee was empowered to make a final report at an adjourned meeting to be held this evening. Favors His Plan, Chairman Humphrey of the hoard said that the present contract with the United Electric Light and Water com- pany specifles that with the improve- ment in lamps they may be installed in this city without additional cost for “juice.” The plan as adopted by the | board had been considered very care- fully and he believed that much bet- | ter service could be gained through it. | In New Haven and Waterbury where | the proposed system is now in service | excellent results are being attained. | Speaking of extension of the new ser- vice which some of the council mem- | bers have favored, Mr. Humphrey | said the board would be only too glad supplied to carry out the plan. Engineer Hall said that the new lights would cost $75 each a year. He had discussed the matter of extension with the company officials. Clerk Emmett read the contract with the company, drawn on May 25, 1915. During its course the chairman of the meeting interrupted to inquire if all members were familiar with the meaning of the wording of the con- tract. In reply to a question of Mayor Quigley regarding the cost of the lighting next year with the proposed plan, Engineer Hall said it would be $32,731.61 or an increased appropria- tion of $1,731 in next year's budget. Spilling the Music. At this juncture the early signs of rebellion on the part of Councilman Curtis became evident when he ques- tioned the engineer in regard to the establishment of the 250 candle pow- er lights in the designated places. The engineer read thirty-nine where- as Mr. Curtls maintained that the paper given him by Hall called for only 24. After considerable talk back and forth between the men, and which judging from the countenances of some of the interested parties was as clear as mud, the mayor cut the talk short with, “Let's get down to the ‘white way. Councilman Landers said that from an economical standpoint he would not foster the idea of spreading the out, although he had hoped for the extension along East‘ Main street. A Tittle Excitement. Mr. Curtis and Mr. Hall refused to remain calm, and producing the map, the engineer called off the system as recommended by the board, pointing out to the third ward man that it showed the thirty-nine new arc lights. the | councilman went to work, and when he had apparently reached the end of his labor he said to Councilman ILan- ders “There, if you make out over per.” “Oh, that is an old list you got,” sald Fngineer Hall. ‘Well, what do you do, every day?” answered Curtls. Here Mr. Humphrey cut into the argument with an explanation, which at its conclusion was greeted with, “T | don’t see any difference,” from Mr. Curtfs. Councilman Curtls inquired of Man- have change TLight and Water company when the contract was made for the white way in that city. The lighting official was unable to give the date. e was also unable to give the gost of installing the system in reply to another ques- tion from Curtls. Cbuncilman Curtls then inquired the distance between cach lght in Waterbury. Engineer Hall replied that he had measured the distance in some places and it was 300 feet. Curtis Still Balking. “That ain’t no white way,” satd Curtls. Continuing, he added that the contract for installation of the sys- tem in Waterbury had been signed over a year ago and the work was | not completed yet, In reply to his question to Mr. Atwater about the delay which is liable to occur over the lack of poles, etc., the latter sald that he was reasonably certain that the system would be installed by De- cember 1, If the contract was slgned now. “Would your company give a bond guaranteeing that?" asked Mr. Curtis. “Absolutely not,” was the lighting man’s answer. Councilman Andrews said that the business men and others feel that if anything is to be gained by the in- stallation of the white way system, it should be in before the Christmas holidays. He also spoke in favor of the 2560 candle power lamp and the plan of the board. Commissioner | Downes said that the re-arrangement of the poles was going to be a big | Job. Judge for Yourselves. Commissioner Humphrey then put | the question up to Councilman Curtis | as to whether or not be favored a | white way. “I am not particularly in | tavor of it,” was Mr. Curtis’ rejoiner. He spoke in favor of the methods em- ployved in Middletown, which he characterized as the best in the state. Opportunities to speak did not af- ford themselves very often to the mayor, and when he managed to get a word in edgeways, he was found boosting his engineer and the board, ) favoring their plan for the lighting. | Some Common Sense.
