In order to keep off rowdies and hoodlums who might feel inclined. to make a noise and disturb the sessians, ‘“hiet of Police Willlam'J. Rawlings has agreed to provide sufficient police protection to take care of this prob- lem. In addition two_ special police- men will take turns being on duty so “hat there will be at least one police- man on duty at all times. The special police will have a tent pitched close to the big tent and one will sleep there while the other is on guard. An article written by Paul R. Schmoyer, business representative.of tkte Chautauqua, on the Junior Chau- tauqua is as follows: Junior Chautauqua. “The Swarthmore Junior Chautau- qua staff in charge.of the New Brit- 4.n Chautauqua consists of Miss Fran- ccr Pricke as Junior Leader, Mim Dorothy Blackburn as assistant, Mr. Paul Crosby and Mr. Edward Atken ia charge of stunts.

The figure was orig- inally agreed upon at the White House tax conference a week ago and to cut in half the proposed manufacturers’ tax on 12 cents a gallon on cereal bever- ages, 1$200,000,000 Is Added. The changes made in the original committee draft were estimated by some republicans to increase by $200,000,000 the $3,000,000,000 yield which it had been figured would be returned under the bill as drafted by the majority com- mittee men. The program agreed upon by the re- publican conference yesterday for house consideration of the bill called for the adoption of a special rule limiting de- bate to four days from 11 a. m. Wed- nesday and fixing 3 p. m. Saturday as the time for the final vote.

The present supply from over the mountain to the west is brought in on high tension wires to this city which carry 33,000 volts. A large gang of trouble-men are employed in a daily tour of the ways over which these wires carry the current, in or- der to repair promptly any breaks which may occur and to insure con- stant nigh service to all places which the wires feed. This high current is carried on the big steel towers, which local people have so often seen, Cross- ing flelds and highways from Water- bury io this city and continuing’ on to Middletown where it supplies fur- ther territory. Locally Black Rock sub-station is being rebuilt to care for much more work. Two 13,000 power circuits are being installed for service in this city. They are being re-constructed along private right of way on Trum- bull street, over Black Rock bridge, to raflroad property, along which it runs through the main district feed- ing the industrial plants of the city. By .installation of additional cir- cuits ¢nd by way of subway con- riectiohs on “West Main street power will be brought to the new sub-sta- tion at Corbin Place, New Britain’s own power distributing home. The other circuits run along the railroad property to Elm street where they will go underground and be connect- ed with the Corbin Place station. In Logp Circuit. Thus New Britain will rank with the large industrial cities . of the country for beneficial’ service bécause of the fact that the instaliation of these groups of cir- cuits ‘has given the ocity what electri- cal man know as the “ring” or ‘loop” circuit. . This comprises two circuits which run. in opposite directions but have s common meeting place, the new Corbin Place sub-station. Thus efficient service is maintained for if anything happens on the lines along the railroad property, the system is and efficient | |§ for increased power and service,” he said. Discussing the costs of construc- llon Work he said, ‘“The work of in- e New Britain subway dis- tnhutmg service not including the cost of the Corbin Place station, will cost us as least $60,000.” He estimated | that the new station would cost the same amount if not more and gave as a rough estimate that the company is spending over a quarter of a million of dollars for improved service in the city of New Britain. There'is a heavy burden on the company at the present time for it also has to keep up its work of bettering the servtce in the other citles it supplies. CONTRACT 1§ AWARDED Church Street Semi-Pavement Will be Laid by Balf ‘Work is Deferred. Company—Paving The board of public works at a spec- ial session held this noon at City Hall toted to recommend to the common council at tomorrow evening’s session that the contract for semi-permanent Pavement on Church street from the allroad tracks easterly to the pres- ent pavement, be awarded to the Ed- ward Balf company of Hartford. The price to be paid is $2.11 a square yard and the entire job will cost the city about $1,200. The board will also recommend to the council tomorrow evening that work on the laying of a pavement on South Main street from Brook to Stanley streets be deferred for the present. This action is taken because of the probability that water mains may be laid at a later date through this street ‘to e Town Berlin which action would necessitate the tearing up of the pavement. The nains in question are those authorized by the last session of the legislature. PARTY TO MRS. JOHNSON. Friends Help Steele Street Woman to Celebrate 60th Anniversary of Birth. A surprise party was tendered Mrs. C. M. Johnson at her home at 176 Steele 'street yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the- 60th anniversary of her birth. Fifty or more friends of the woman were present. She received a purse of $45 in gold and rumerous other presents from her friends. Mrs. Johnson received many calls and cards of congratulation during the day. HAS OLD HANDCUFFS. . \ Trafic Officer Wagner Gets Pair ~ Which Are Ancient. Traffic Policeman Fred Wagner re- turned to his post at the corner of Main and Church streets this mqrn- ing, after his annual vacation which was spent with his son, who is a member of the Boston police de- partment. v Before going on duty the trafic { director exhibited in the office a pair of handcuffs which were given him by a friend in Feeding Hills, Mass. Chief Rawlings said he believed them to be over 100 years old. REQUIEM MASSES. % A month's mind mass will be cel- ebrated at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing at St. Peter's church for the late Mrs. Martin Buck, and at the same hour on Thursday morning, an anniversary mass will be celebrated for the late Miss A. Gosselin. MilkReduced in immediately cut out, and electricity |- is received for the city from the oth- er half of the “loop.”” This means that there is no stopping of the flow of electricity if the trouble is local; i it is in some place outside the city st might affect the whole loop or the whole city.. The power, as already stated, that enters at Black Rock, is brought in at 33,000 volts. This i1s not used in the city, how- ever. The nigh voltage is stepped down in two distinct - classes. One voltage is stepped to 13,200 volts which is used for industrial needs in the city while 2,200 volts is normally supplied to the regular lighting sys- tem .in the city. The 13,200 volts carried by. the new circuits along the railroad through the main industrial section of the city supplies such Rlaces as the Stanley Works, Fafnir Bear- ing company, Landers Frary and Clark, end the American. Hardware corporation, as well as other factor- ies in New Britain. The 2,200 volt- age. is. supplied, to homes and other places which have the normal light- ing power. When anything happens to the higher temsion wires, there is not as much danger to workmen as in-the lesser current troubles, in the opinjon of Mr. Jourdan. This is due to the fact that automatic circuit Lreakers operate quickiy and _more surely for the. higher currents and cause the wires affected to become dead. 'Thus handling the wires after they are down is not dangerous as the current has automatically been shut off from them. Most of the trouble ensues from the smaller cur- rent which - workmen fear less —and handle more often. 4 Better Service The service in the center of the city ‘'wil be more efficient' than ever, according to a statement of the super- intendent, who says that they are en- tirely revising the layout of the sub- way ‘distributing lines which serve the business center. New Cables, the latest switches, - and up-to-date electrical devices. will be installed in an effort to give the city the best of service. In connection with this work, the com- pany is building with an eye to the future. With installation of these new cables. and devices, plans were made for their enlargement and many con- nections which may have to be made with the growth of the city and larger demands for current in the center of (he city. As a result of this rebuilding, the city of New Britain has had to en- large the subways and manbholes in a number of places. Some question »f the enlargements has been raised by the city and it is understood that a committee representing the Connecti- New Britain We wish to announce to the people of New Britain that on account of the unsettled con- dition of the milk market we will sell our pas- teurized and clarified for the present.

The result of this large amount of |. work bein'done by the company means that interruptions of service in the city with its power. The main one is|! they will be shorter than ever before and the territory they cover will be decidedly lost. An interruption such as occurred in th business center a few months ago, when something went wrong in the subway, would be al- most impossible with the new and im- proved equipment and preparations against loss of power. New Britain is a very fortunate city in regards to its supply of electricity. There are two lines which serve the <city with its power. The man one is from Bunker ; Hill, over Waterbury way, but Black Rock also has connec- ‘ions with the Hartford plant, thus assuring -the city of constant power unless both of the stations develop trouble at the same time. New trans- tormers have been set up at Black Rock station which will now become the main distributing points for this section while the Corbin Place station will care entirely for New Britain's needs.
