Since the first of January the gas and electric department has been pay- ing for the electric current it has re- ceived from the Uncas Power com- pany at the rate of 11 cents per kilo- watt hour, it having been agreed be- tween the department and company that it should start at that time. For some time previous to that the com- pany had been furnishing the current and that will be paid for at the same rate, it having been metered, after the ‘tes\ing had been completed. At that time the company had not sig- nifled to the commissioners that it was ready toefurnish the current un- der the contract price, but such was done later and is now in effect, there being plenty of current received and everything "is working smoothly at both the power plant and electric light station, There has been steady current from the time the contract price became ef- fective, it not being necessary to start up the steam plant, although previ- S ous to that for minor reasons it was necessary to start the steam plant. It was necessary to do some repairing on the line on one or two occasions, while a week ago Saturday owing to the mills on the stream shutting down and thereby holding back the water from the Uncas plant, it was necessary to start the m plant about one in the afternoon and ft was run until about eight o'clock Sunday morning. This trouble was quickly overecome ,for as soon as the natural flow of the riv- er was permitted to come to the pow- er plant, there was no difficulty in furnishing the current, and this trou- ble, like many other small ones, at the start, will probably mnot occur again, . There is a special telephone line from the sub station at the light plant to the power plant in Scotland, so they can communicate at any time and make ready to take the load, If nec- essary, at the local plant. In charge at the sub station are Earl Alexan- der and Fred Stebbins. COAST ARTILLEDY ATTAINS HIGH DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY Ahead of Troops in Other States—In- struments and Apparatus for Prac- tice. The Connecticut militla figures prominently in the report of Lieut.- Col, Erasmus M. Weaver, chief of the military bureau of the war de- | partment, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, which has just been made public. Reference is made in the report to the fact that during the year the Sec- ond regiment and st Separate com- pany of Connecticut infant partici- pated in joint manoeuvres with regu- lar troops and that 14 companies of Connecticut coast artillery and the First comgany of militia signal corps participated in joint army and militia coast defense exercises in the New London artillery district. The report states that a portion of the Connecticut coast artillery militia has had instruction in its proper duty for sevéral years, Those members of the organization, it is stated, “have | attained to a higher degree of effi- ciency in the servicé of coast artillery material than the troops of other states. The measure of efficlency has been ‘considered by the wag depart- ment to warrant the assignment of the companies to coast batteries.” Regarding militia companies, the re- port states that those of the Connecti- cut coast arillery will be equipped with instruments and apparatus to en- able the men to practice during the intervals between annual exercises, On the subject of Connecticut armorles the report further says: “A number of the armory buildings are owned by the state, and these as a rule are very satisfactory. There are a number of organizations still oc- cupying rented armories, some of which are totally inadequate. The state is building armories where need- ed as speedily as possible. The state pays rental and furnishes light and heat. The organized strength of the Con- necticut militla on December 31, 190 is reported to have been 2,686, includ- ing 23 general staff officers, 45 ree mental officers, 114 company officers, a total of 182 commissioned officers. Non-commissioned officers, musicians, privates. etc. numbered 2,504 As compared with the organized militia numbering 2,686, the war department estimates that the total number of males in’ Connecticut who are avail- | able for military duty, but unorgan- ized, is 116,117, The report states that Connecticut has complied with all the require- ments of law as regards the organ- ation of her militia, The state also reported to have complied with the wah department's standard for the physical examination of applicants for enlistment. Regular army officers who inspected the Connecticut militia reported that | it was fully armed and equipped. Al organizations that were supposed to | engage in rifle practice, except the | Fourteenth company of coast artillery | of Bridgeport, and " Company H, Sec- ond infantry, Middletown, did so. Company M, Second regiment, Tor- rington, had the highest figure of merit for rifie practice; viz. 117.73. Company F, New Haven, ranked next with a figure of merit of 109.32. The | First Separate company, New Have | came third with a figure of 103.33. From these records the figures of merit of various orghnizations ranged | downward to 10.27, which was eiven Company B, First infantry, Hartford, and 5.85 of Company D, Bristol.
