Ken- ney was elected chairman, succeeding Thomas W. Crowe. Plans were dis- cussed for new contracts for electric light service in the city, and an- nouncement was made that Contrac- tor W. H. Hill has withdrawn his men from the Grove Hill job because he feels it ‘irregular” to build macadam when amlesite was ordered by the council. Among those who attended the meeting and voted for Chairman Kenney were Commissioners Eugene Facelll and Joseph Mlynarski, both of whom were appointed this week. Mayor Wants Lighting Survey. Messrs. Linsley and Jourdan of the Conenctlcut Light & Power Co. were present to discuss the new lighting contracts. In the course of his re- marks, Mr. Linsley asserted that figured on the costs of street lighting in other cities, which is $1 for each person, New Britain's yearly bill would be $60,000. At present it isf slightly more than half that amount. Mayor Paonessa aftended the meet- ing and suggested that the lighting company make a survey of the en- tire system here and suggest changes or additions. This, the representa- tives of the C. L. & P. Co. agreed to do. The work will take about six weeks and after its completion the advisory committee and public works board will be called in to hear rec- ommendations. The lighting company, according to its representatives, has a claim against the city because of the inter- pretation of a clause in the present contract. The city interprets the agreement to provide for a two per cent decrease in cost for every 10 per cent increase in the number of lights installed. Under this interpretation, should the city increase its number by 500 per cent the service would be entirely free. Why Hall Withdrew Men. Relative to the Grove Hill matter, Contractor Hall, a former city en- gineer, has investigated the circum- stances surrounding the job and finds that the council authorized the plac- ing of an amiesite top. No base was found 1n the street and the board then ordered macadam placed with the idea in view of placing amiesite next year. Mr. Hall does not wish to “made bad matters worse,” he ex- plained, so he has graded the street and now has withdrawn his men, City Engineer J. D. Williams told the board last night that city labor- ers will be sent to Grove Hill to put in macadam as soon as they have completed the Linden street job. OLD LOVE HAY HAVE CAUSED FATAL SHor Sargent’s Suicide Possibly Due to Brooding Over Mary Anderson New York, Aug. 30.—Despair at the hopelessness of an old love for Mary Anderson, the famous actress who for many years has been the wife of Antonio Fernando de Navarro in England, won the name of ‘woman hater” for Franklin H. Sargent, presi- dent of the American Academy of Dramatic Art and drove him to com- mit suicide at Plattsburg, N. Y., last Wednesday, in the opinion of David Belasco. Three times Sargent had attempt- ed suicide said Belasco last night. Only a month ago Sargent's friends prevente dthe last attempt. “Years ago,” Belasco related, “Sargent had a love affair that sad- dened his entire life. He loved Mary Anderson, who has since married and lived in London in retirement from the stage. “Sargent adored her. He taught her how to act. He was engaged to Mary for a long time. There was a sudden end to the love affair and T think they never saw each other again.” That was years ago. Since then Sargent had been a changed man, said Belasco. ‘““He shrank from wom- en and became noted among his friends as a woman hater.” Every important company on Broadway has one or more of Sar- gent’s pupils and at least 50 are playing this season, say Sargent's for- mer associates. Among noted stars of last season’s hits who studied under him were Helen Westley, Jane Cowl and Joseph Shildkraut. Sargent’s body is expected to reach New York today for a simple funeral service after which it probably will Mass, ‘IDEAL’ World’s Champion Lady Swimmer and Acrobatic Diver Appearing at the 'PALACE All Next Week WANTS LOCAL BOYS D GIRLS TO ENTER WIMMING AND DIVING CONTEST AT THE THEATER FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE CITY.

Montague of this city, personal envoy of Governor Charles A, Templeton to the conference of governors of 11 eastern states at New York yestérday, last night told the ggvernor that “Iit- tle was accomplished toward meeting the crisis.” More would have been done, Mr, Montague believes if the conference had been confined to the federal fuel administration, the gevernors and their representatives. Instead, he re- ported to the governor, about 200 per- sons, some of them only remotely in- terested, were present. Mr. Montague believes that Con- | necticut and the other New England states especially should make a survey of the amount of anthracite coal Which has already beenshipped into the state for domestic use, the amount required in normal times and then take steps to provide substitutes for the difference. + The first substitute, Mr. Montague says, is coke in egg and put sizes, This supply is limited, however, he reports and adds that the next substitute is soft coal. This should be screened, he sald, and should be used chiefly in steam and hot water plants. Hot air heating plants are hot usually suited for burning soft coal, he said. Mr. Montague believes that the per- sons hardest hit are those who ordi- narily buy in quarter and half ton lots.
