Direc- tors of that body at their March meet- ing last evening had occasion to fee! greatly encouraged over the progress made in the matter by their commit- tee and the members expressed the opinion today that changes proposed by the lighting people wiil'make the | service more satisfactory. Since the town changed its system of lighting from the antiquated Wels- bach lamp to incandescents, supplied with electric current, there has been dissatisfaction because of the fact that the candle power called for in | the contract is not always furnished. _Some nights the lamps throw their e fulgence on the streets to tent that the highways are well illym- inated while at other times the incan- descents aré so 'dimmed that the town would be almost as well off with- out any lighting service whatever. The persistency of the committee from the Business and Improvement association to which this matter was assigned for investigation in getting after the lighting company officials has finally brought a promise of im- proved service that appears to be gen- uine. In the letters read at the di- | rectors’ meeting last evening the com- pany expressed its intention of mak- ing certain connectigns with the. New Haven and Wate; systems which will keep a uniforth current in the wires khrough which the lights "are supplied and will keep the highways well illuminated. An improvement o this character will be greatly appre- ciated. It is nothing more than the town is entitled to under its contract and had it not been for the repeated promises of the company to do better the matter would have found its way months ago to the Connecticut public utilities commission, The directors also considered last evening the matter of the town's co- operating with the state highway com- missioner and the Connecticut com- pany in the extension of the perman- ent pavement through Whiting street. It is proposed to lay a strip of amie- site from center to a point on Whit- ing street where the trolley tracks turn from the highway to the Connec- ticut company’s property. The expense is to be borne entirely by the state and the trolley people. The highway com- misefon wanted the town to contribute towards the cost of the :mprovement to make it possible to have the pave- ment extended from curb to curb, in- stead of having but a comparatively narrow strip. The voters at the annu- al town meeting rejected the sugges- tion because of the large expense in- volved. Since that-time the idea has been entertained that a pavement the full width of the street should be laid at least as far as Broad street corner, the narrow strip to continue the bal- ance of the stretch to be improved. Last night the Business Men’s direc- tors instructed their public - utilities commission to inquire as to the prob- able expense of the town co-operating to this extent, reporting back at the next meeting. The permanent pave- ment area is to be extended this spring and if the cost of having the amiesite reach from curb to curb is not too sreat, the assoclation will probably ask for a special town meeting to con- sider the matter of making the neces- sary appropriation. 1;!V'mlla it will not be possible to def- initely set a date until the speakers indicate their preference the assocla- tion’s annual banquet will probably-be held some time next month. The di- vectors left the matter of making the arrangements with President J. H. Trumbull at last night's meeting. He will appoint sub-committees and will at once start a search for orators to take part in the post prandial exer- cises. “The directors also went on record.as being in favor of military prepared- ness as recommended by the general staff of the U. 8. army. Their action was taken at the suggestion of the ‘National Chamber of Commerce. Other matters were informally dis- cussed during the session which was ‘held in the club rooms in Odd Fel- lows’ block. P Furnace Blown Vlk B ' Gas, which accuinulated in the furnace because of the fact that the drfts had Deen left closed after fresh coal had been thrown on the fire caused an explosion in the heater at the home of Franklin B. Coombes on East street yesterday afternoon. The explosion was of such violence that it shook the house and gave Mrs. Coombes nd the other occupants a bad fright. Clouds of smoke poured through the house following the ex- plosion and at the request of Mra. Coombes the fire department was called out. Chiet Norton and his men respond- ed to the alarm: but when they ar- rived they found that the fire had not communicated to the woodwork, the wrecking of the furnace seemingly beéing the extent of the damage. re- losion. ’ W0 LONG VERRS [T * BE SUFFERED “Fruit-a-fives” Made Him Fool ks It Walking G Air i Onu.n,Nov.m 1914.

The couplings were - de- signed by the local chief and the work was done gratis by local man- ufacturers.. This information will be communicated to the superintendent of the department in the nmbor- ing borough. Hoping to strengthen the fire fight- ing forces of the town Chief Norton , Proposes to sugsest to the local ‘com- issioners, that .thé two wheel jumper” which is now a part of the department’s apparatus 'be turned over to the Trumbull Electric ‘com- pany. The latter has its own depart- ment but keeps its hose hung up at the factory. In case of a serious fire in the center of the town the factory firemen under the present conditions ‘would be unable to render much as- sistance to the department without elay. The chief proposes that the jumper” be transferred to the fac- permitting of the reeling of the pany’s hose. This would permit of a quick response by the Trumbull firemen with their equipment in case of a blaze of such severity in some other section that Chief Norton’s men ‘would be unable to cope with it with- out assistance. Buell New Comunitteeman. At the suggestion of Frank G. Osborne who with Rev. H. T. Walsh,. has been the democratic representa- tive on the school board since Rev. R. H. Burton resigned several weeks ago, Giles C. Buell was elected a member of that body at the March meeting held last evening. Mr. Buell | has taken an active part in demo- eratic politics for a number ‘of years. He is interested-in school affairs and his election to the board will meet with approval. Much to the surprise of the com- mittee, word was received at the meeting that plans for the addition to the Broad street schoolhouse are not yet finished and it will be at least a week before they can be presented to the board. Changes suggested by Chairman Rogers, which had the ap- proval of his associates are being made by Architect M. J. Unkelbach, and the delay in the completion of the drawings is attributed to them. A special meeting of the ‘board will probably be called when the blue- prints are submitted. Oivil Service Postmaster. Plainville in common with other places throughout the country is in- terested to a considerable extent in the announcement of the postmaster general, made last evening that ar- rangements are being made to put the postmasters in first, second and third ‘class offices under civil ‘service, open- ing the appointment to the positions to competition,- instead of leaving them political plums for distribution among the faithful. ‘While the order has not as yet been given out the postmaster general has announced that it will become effec- tive on April 1, and Washington dis- patches indicate that when the post- masters now in the service complete the four year terms for which they have been appointed they will' have to take an examination, entering into competition with other aspirants for the office. The president will then make his nominations from the list compiled as & result, the candidate with the highest average seemingly getting the office, Should this be the case Plainville might be one of the first town iIn which the postmastership would be assigned under the new ruling. Post- master Prior’s term will expire In a few months and should the order be of a character indjcated in the early dispatches, he wolld be required to take & ©civil service examination, com- for re-appointment with any others who might seek the office.

'NEWFOUNDLAND FISH TRADE DISRUPTED Submarine Warfare Interrupta Impor- tation of Salt, Necessry to Life of Industry. St. Johns, N. F., March 8.—New- foundland fish exporters are disturbed over the difficulty of obtaining engugh vessels to market their products this year. The fisheries constitute the main in- dustry of the colony and in normal tins a large fleet of schooners and small steamers is engaged throughout the autumn and the winter carrying to Europe and South America fish caught in the spring and summer and cured by being pickled and dried in the sun. The vessels trading prinei- | 'pally with Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, bring back .cargoes of salt from Sicily and Spain. Until recently the war has not seri- ously interfered with this trade except for a temporary shutting off of the Greek market by the Entente block- ade. Since January 1, however, six fish carrying vessels have been torpe- doed off the Portuguese coast and in the Mediterranean. Fishing agencies here have pur- chased ull vessels at present available, ‘but as the British admiralty has re- quisitioned many steamers formerly used in the trade there is e growlng shortage of tonnage. The trade will require at least 35, 000 tons of salt to cure this year catch of fish.. Thus far only enough ships have been secured to bring in 9,000 tons. Sir Edward Morris, prem!er of Newfoundland, who_went to England recently to participage in the forth- coming imperial conference, carried with him strong representations from fish merchants and others as to . the. needs of assistance from the admiralty to meet the problem.
