The past year has been the most successtul in the history of the gas and eleciric department, since it be- came a part of the eity government, say the officials of that department. Superintendent Bogue and a member of the gas and eicctric commission stated on Sunday cvening that the department will show the largest profit it ever has in its seven years. This applies Dboth to gas and electricity. The officials stated that the amount of profit could not be told just vet, and no figures would be mentioned by them, but the fact that it exceeds ail others should place the profit for one Year at $30,000 or better. It has been a yvear of extensive im= Provement at the plant and also plan- ning for the future. e electric out- put has increased nearly 25 per cent. ‘over last year and is increasing at the present time at that rate monthly. The city of Waterbury is consider- ing the municipal ownership of a lighting plant and a representative of the Waterbury Americarbwas here last weels to interview Norwich ciiizens and business men on the success of the local municipally operated plant. The Waterbury voters will decide the matter at the polls this fall and The American of Saturday gave a history of the local plant, the litigation and its accomplishménts and comparing the rates in the two cities, which showed Norwich to be very much low- er for electricity, but 15 cents higher a thousand for gas, The following are the interviews slecured by The American representa- ve: Mayor Thayer's View. Mayor Charles F. Thayer, a demo- crat, the admitted father of municipal ownership of light in Norwich, is as enthusiastic as ever about it. “The experiment here,” he said, a few days ago, “has been an unmiti- gated success, a ‘howling’ success. The facts prove that for themselves. Why, if we had just barely.pulled through the first five years, reducing prices a little and paying our expenses, we should have been proud of ourselves. But as the reports of the city treasur- er show, we have not only done that but we have paid into the treasury a clear profit of almost a hundred thousand dollars. At first the project had many enemies. It became at once, unfortunately, a political issue, the bitterness of which is just dying out. Many people opposed the scheme for a few years merely for political rea- sons. In general the demécrats fa- vored it and the republicans opposed, though the 5 to 1 vote on the question i’thowea how many republicans favored “Of course we did have to pay a great deal more than the plant was worth, after being involved in a legal tangle. But we saved about $200,000 by litigating it and even with the handicap we had, we have made a success of the scheme. Our plant which we ourchased for $390,000 is worth at least $1,000,000 today “One objection to municipal owner- ship, of course, is that changing ad- ministrations ke2p the management of the plant in new and unexperienced hands and that political wire pulling is difficuit to keep out. This has bothered us but little. Politics did in- terfere a couple of vears ago, to be sure, but we are gradually ridding ourselves of that evil, The present gas commissioners are all republi- cans, two of them being men who have kept in touch with the situation since its inception. We have perfect con- fidence in our commission.” The Opposition Gives It Up. For vears the leader of the opposi- tion was A. Walton Pearson, editor of the Norwich Bulletin. Mr. Pearson opposed Mavor Thayer in this, as he did in the big Norwich water contro- versy. “The gas commissioners say that they have a balauce of $20,000 every vear, clear profit,” said Mr. Pearsen. “That may be true. The great trouble is vou can’t get at the city’s business any more than vou can that of a cor- poration. We opposed the scheme at first because we didn't think it would profitable, but there has never been an_inquiry—a strict one—about the city’s management of the business, and the citizens are all perfectly sat- isfied. I do not want to cast any re- flections upon decent men. “I don’t see that the city’s plant differs from a private corporation very much. It has all the faults of a pri- vate corporation—and all the virtues. One objection to the plan is that a great many people living in the sub- urbs of the city who use neither elec- tricity nor gas have to help pay for the costs of a plan of this kind, but do not share in its benefits. That's the bad feature of s@eculative lighting. Another peint is that of bonds. which should be particularly interesting to vou people in Waterbury. If you take over your lighting plants, steps should Dbe taien to refund the bonds—if there are any—at a lower rate of interest. We failed to do that, and it's going to cost the city a lot of money. “So far as the figures show, the ex- periment has been a success. 1 per- sonally don’'t know much about g the inside facts of the case. 1 wouldn’'t care to say, really, whether it has been a success or mot. 1 do know, though, that public opinion here con- siders it a great success. Politics Out of It. Frederick W. Cary, vice president of the state board of trade and promi- nent in Norwich's business and politi- cal life, said: “The growth of our lighting plants since the city adopted them has been wonderful, - The experiment has been the greatest success imaginable. Jf any persons are discontented, it chiefly for political reasons. People who are in business and buying elec- tricity and gas from the city would never vote to sell the municipal plant. Of course wé paid too much for the plant, but not as much as we should have had to pay if we had waited ten years. Politics? No, T don’t think politics has entered into the matter of run- ning the plant at all. Our gas com- missioner holds office for three vears, whereas the elections come every two or four years, so that there is ually no changes in the board unless for an urgent reason, Waterbury would do well to follow our example. Mr. Story, Too. Gas and Rlectric Commissioner Ar- thur 1. Story was made a member of the commission by Mayor Costello Lippitt, the leader of the opposition party. When I was put on thig commis- sion,” said Mr, Story, “I was very much opposed to the experiment, for | I thought it wasn't a success. Since then I have become persuaded through studying the facts that Mayor Thayer is right, and that our municipal gas and electric plant has been a decided success.” Herman D. Rallion, a prominent grocer in Norwich, said: _“So far as 1 know, the plant has been a great suc It has reduced rates and sati ory in every way. I shali do everything in my power to_help alorig the cause. H. F. Palmer, who has been in tne real estate business in Norwich for almost forty years, and has been so consistent a republican that he has voted for every republican president since (and inciuding) Lincoln, ig an- other warm advocate of municipal pwnership. “In generll” he said, “I do mot fa- Profits Will Exceed All Others Say Officials—Norwich Men Give Opinion On the Department, to Water- is | i var municipal ownership, but I think that every city should own its water and its lights, because in the man- agement of those facilities there can be no real competition. The only flaw I can find ,in the whole experiment bere is the dilapidated condition of the plant when we took it over, Since then we have been getting fine light and getting it almost at «bst. We used to pay $21,000 a year to the cor- poration. Now we have double the number of lights and pay no more money for them.” “Conditions in our gas and electric business are very satisfactory,” sald W. H. Cardwell, another business n | “Since the city took over the plant the service has been satisfactory and rates have been lower.” G. W. Hamilton, & shoe dealer, was inclined to deprecate the success of the plant, but gave no arguments based on actual fact. “It’s all right in the main,” he said, “put there's too much politics in it.” “I consider municipal ownership here a great success,” said G. P. Kep- pler, the tailor, “for the gas is of bet- ter quality than before and rates are lower.” “1 know it for a fact,” declared Mr. Murphy, of Murphy & McGar: “that Norwich has_the cheapest lights of any in New England. That isn't hearsay, but what I know. There is a différence of opinion here as to the success of the pian, but most of the citizens are warmly in favor of it.” NORWICH PEOPLE GOT EXCITED OVER MONEY Good, New Bills Which Some One Thought Were Counterfeit Caused the Trouble. Norwich was visited by a counter- feit money scare on Sunday morning that assumed such considerable pro- portions that the trolley conductors received orders not to take any of the supposedly spurious $1 bills, passen- gers arrived protesting at Franklin square to know why their good United States money was refused, some mer- chants and hotels caught the alarm and also declined to accept the new crisp willlams that were making the trouble, and many of the citizens spent some anxious moments looking over their pocketbooks to see how badly they had been caught, with the sam- ples of “the queer.” The bills that started the trouble first appeared in Putnam, it was re- ported here, and were new, bright, sil- ver certificates of the $1 denomination, bearing the words “Series of 1899.” Somebody noticed these words were printed along the end of the bill in- stead of under the number on the face of the bill. This variation, taken with the fact that the bills were new and crisp, developed into the supposition that they were counterfeits, and it was rumored that a Putnam bank had refused to take them. Assistant Supt. Blake, who is in charge of the northern district of the trolley lines of the Connecticut com- pany, sent word to Treasurer Vaughn here that the bills were afloat and orders were issued to the conductors to refuse all that were offered. The news quickly spread that the trolley- men | had spotted a counterfeit that was in circulation, and although.it was found that the money was genuine, and the order to the conductors was countermanded by noon, the rumors about the false greenbacks continued to have its effects. Some drug stores, tobacco stores atnd one of the hotels declined the bills and others took an inventory of their cash registers in fear and trembling. One man found that the rumor had spread to the Norwich & Westerly road, where a conductor declined one of the bills. A passenger arriving from New London with seven of the $1 certifi- cates which he had received in his pay the day before, was furious at the conductor, who refused to accept one when tendered for fare, and demanded an explanation at the starter's office in Franklin square. One man who heard of the fake money was moved to sudden generos- ity when he found that he had two of the 1899 series in his pocket. He promptly invited two friends in to Huve a drink of soda, proffering the two bills, so that he got some silver in change for his supposedly worthless pieces of paper. Some of the conductors found they were hard hit when they first got the order. Ome of them had four of the bills, another had two, and many of them had at least one, for which they knew they would have to make good to the company. G.

Saturday momlng R. W. Perkins, treasurer of the Thawmes . Loan and Trust company recelved-word from the officials of the Commerce and Savings bank at Racine, Wis., to the effect that John P. Moulton. formerly of this city, had been arrested at Kenoska, Wis., a week ago for passing worthless checks. He was given a hearing last Tuesday and sentenred to a term of five years in state prison. Mr. Perkins had Dreviously been in communication with the Mitchell Mo- tor company, asking if the bank would honor a check of Moulton's for $750, and they were informed that he had no account here. Two cnecks, one for $7 and the other for $10, were received by Mr. Perkins from the Commerce and Savings bank, and later an in- quiry asking about Moulton. They were told his characfer was not of the best. Upon louking over the checks it was found they haa ween printed by him, as they are different than any the company ever issued. Moulton is 30 yearsh old and was a grocery clerk where when he met Miss Mary Baker of this city, who had in- herited about $30,000. They were mar- ried by Dr, Howe January 31, 1908, but lived happily only a short time. He became involved in a number of shady transactions. He was sentenced to five months in jail here and served his time for getting money under false pretenses. He was later arrest- ed here for skipping his Willimantic board bill, but settled that matter by paying, COGSWELL RESIDENCE ENTERED BY BURGLAR.
