Boston Store The Great - Bargain Giving Event of 1918 OUR ANNUAL SALE Is Now in Full Swing. Give This Opportunity Full Consideration PULLAR & NIVEN NEIGHBOR STATES ENVY CONNEGTIGUT | Rhode Island and Massachusetts | Hard Hit by Coal Shortage Hartford, Feb. 2.—Those Connect cut business men who think they are severely restricted by the fuel order | closing hours in the state should re- alize that they are far better off than | the merchants in the adjoining states ‘of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, awccording to a statement issued today by the office of the Fuel committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. So marked is this difference, it is said, that in the border community where Westerly, R, I, and the vil- lage of Paweatuck, in the town of Stonington, Conn., form one commun- ity, the merchants on the Rhode Is- land side are raising a vigorous com- plaint because of the many advan- tages over them which they say the merchants on the Connecticut side have. The business section of this community is split in two parts by the Pawcatuck River which forms the state line. , In Massachusetts all places of bus- iness are restricted to 9 a. m. as the opening hour, and 6 p. m. as the clos- ing hour, except on specified nights, when they may remain open until 10 9. m. Show window lights are pro- hibited at all times except Saturday | evening from dusk to the closing hour. | The closing hour for theaters is 10 p. | . TIn a fuel conservation effort, the trolleys have been ordered to make | only every other stop, and lights in trolley cars and elecated railroad cars are reduced to five each. No heat | 1s allowed in elevated or surface cars when the temperature is above 25 de- grees. The night trolley schedule -goes into effect gt 11:15 p. m., instead of 1 a. m., as formerly. Theater mat- inees start earlier in the afternoon so as to let out before the factories and | offices close for the day, thus ing the “peak load.” Tt was said that the proclamation of Governor Holcomb restricting hours of business until the last of March would have been much had it not been for the government ’order for ten holiday Mondays AGE NO BARRIER.

L. Sage, whose request had been previously denied. Likewise, the committee adopted the recom- mendation of the board of public works to increase the salary of M. Pi O'Brien, superintendent of sewers, $100, making it $1,600. Tnasmuch as the fire department increases do not affect Assistant Chief W. J. Noble, who is a callman at $600 per vear, it was voted to increase his pay $100. Those present last night were Chairman A. F. Richstaedt, C. J. Dehm, D. J. Sullivan, Fred Beloin, H. P. Carter, and Gordon J. Ely. City Comptroller H. L. Curtis was also présent. On motion of the chairman the committee reconsidered their pre- vious action in refusing to increase the salary of Dr. Charles Witte, slangh- ter house inspector, from $1,200 to $1,300. Mr. Sullivan objected to so much reconsideration and thousht that matter should be left with the council and Mr. Beloin voiced the opinion that if Dr. Witte was such a capable veterinarian he ought to have a private practise of his own instead of working for the city at $1,200. Mr. Dehm also favored leaving the salary at $1,200 and it was so agreed. It was also voted to increase salary of the mayor's secretary $500 to $600 with the proviso such an incumbent devote her time to the position. Again reverting to the city clerk’s office, Mr. Beloin said he vored dropping the salary of the girl now acting as first deputy at recom- the from that 2ntire back to the former second deput pay in case the former incumbent re- turns or a new first deputy is appoint- ed at the old salary of $1,300. Mr. Beloin asked Mr. Sullivan, following some comment, if he thought City Clerk A. L. Thompson wouid hold an employe down if she was capable. Mr. Sullivan replied that such was his opinion. “A man who would go around and tell his understudies not to put for a raise would do almost zny- he said. Further discusson s finally closed when Mr. Sullivan moved that the salary list be adopted thing | as made out previously. Taking up the matter of payment of city employes, it was voted to recom- mend an ordinance providing that all full time employes and officials be paid weekly. This recommendation provides that part time employes, such assess the assistant prosecuting attorney, chairmen and clerk the fire and police boards, clerk court, prosecuting attorney. board chairman, mayor, treasurer, comptroller, corporation cou judges, and probation officers be p monthly. It also provides that bard of compensation and ment, the board of public works of the civil service board and selec men be paid quarterly and that the board of compensation and members of the commitee also agreed that the comptroller shall draw his checks for these payments and shall also be notified when any employes leave the city’s service and that the salary of a new employe be fixed by the ‘council. of of id the MRS.
