TWO FIRE CALLS. On One the Dump—The Other Was ! False Alarm. The fire department was called out on Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock for a fire on the upper end of the dump on Hollyhock island. A pile of shavings wa sablaze and the fire had also communicated to some steel Shav- ings. Chemical Company No. the West Side station laid 80 feet of hose from the nearest hydrant and then used more hose from the auto- chemical which Chief Stanton sent to | the fire also. It was a troublesome blaze to fight as the wind was blow- ing directly in the face of the men from the only direction from which they could approach it, but they handled the blaze successfully. While engaged here a telephone call was sent in for a supposed fire in the feighborheood of Beach drive. Chemical Company No. 3 from the Falls station responded and found it was Superintendent John Duff of the park burning leaves, which he had under perfect control. Meanwhile Chief Stanton had withdrawn the au- tochemical from the fire on the dump sending it to help Chemical No. 3 if needed. ENTERTAINED WORKERS.

Norwich Poiicemen and Fishing. “Many a queer yarn has come out of Norwich, but the one that tells of a member of the police force catching eight trout that averaged over a pound apiece, three of them 25. 26 and 26 ounces, respectively, is too, too much. In the first place, a basket of trout of that size in this part of the world, unless caught out of a farmer’'s well or a uiceway where they have been for five or six years, is just as believable as a story of a 12-foot shark in Gardner lake. And second place, who ever heard of a Norwich policeman catching any- thing but a cold?’—Hartford Courant. fed like the pi The ignorance of the Courant re- garding the possibilities of trout fish- ing by the man that knows how and where around here and of the abilities of the Norwich police force is eonly equaled by the mustiness of that an- cient joke with which the above com- ment is concluded.

Opposes Bill Introduced For Benefit of City| CTitical Lighting Plant. (Special to The Bulletin.) The act. to provide for five members of the board of gas and electrical com- missioners of the city of Norwich was on citles and boroughs Tuesday af- ternoon at the capitol at Hartford. Mayor Murphy explained that the present board is composed of three members and that they are appointed by ‘the mayor with the approval of the court of common councikand it is be- lieved it would be better to have tw additional commissioners. The busi- ness had inereased and it could not be expeeted that the eommissioners could devote so much of their timé to the city, especially as they served with- out financial recompense. With five ccemmissioners the general work would be lightened. He had given the matter serious thought and believed _the city would be best served by an increase in the coemmission. He said that at the meeting of the court of common council Monday evening the commissioners had asked for autlority tc expend $45,000 for a gas container, | but that the matter had been referred to a special committee of the council. When asked if the present was non-partisan, Mayor Murphy said Lc hoped it would be kept out of poli- tics. He made an appointment of a commissioner at ‘the council meeting Monday' night, but politics was not considered in selecting the nominee. Bill Was a Surprise. Commissioner Edwin A. Tracy said that the last appointee of the mayor, Dr. Donohue, was a democrat and that ‘ the commission is composed of two re- ! publicans and one democrat, the com- was succeeded was also a democrat. -He said the taxpay ers were never taxed a cent for the plant and that after paying off interest and expenses the commissioners had $50,000 to their credit. They had ask missioner that new and needed gas retainer to meet the demand. r, Tracy said he did not know that bill was in the legislature hours before the hearing, and he not believe there were 2 the city of Norwich who knew of its existence, and if they did there would be something doing not short of a civil war. Work Takes Little Time. Mr. Tracy said the conduct of the plant took but very little time of the commissioners and that by reason of the excellent system in vogue they did Lot meet but once a month, and there- focre there was no need for additional commissioners. If agreeable to committee, Mr. Tracy suggested that snother hearing be given and give Norwich a chance to express itself. Mayor Murphy Retorts. Mayor Murphy said he was glad to learn that the commissioners gave such little time to such a large and increasing busines: The idea of the commissioners bu once month to trans: s seemed ridiculous to: him. business that thi 20 Qid Any board | sum to build the | until | t people ! the | a | was given attention only once a month was neglected, and he was glad that Mr. Tracy made such a statement, for it could be considered authoritative. Plant Well Conducted. Commissioner McWilliams said he Lad served since the city went into the gas -and electric business and the question was -not the amount of time given, but the results, and the results were surely satisfactory to the peo- ple of Norwich. The earnings show a proper management of the plant. There is a competent superintendent who knows all about the business and the plant is so well managed that it is a big success, and he defied the state to show a better conducted gas and electric light plant. As to a commission of five instead of three, Mr. McWilliams said there was no reed for the change, as three commis- | sioners were ,able to carry on the business. This has been proven inas- much as it has been carried on with- direct cost to the taxMgyers. The conducted on a strictly non- and when application is made for work the applicant is not questioned as to his politics. As to the appropriation asked for, a new { gas retainer, that was matter for | the council to decide, but he knew it was for the best interests of the plant and the city to make the expenditure, and it should have been made several | -ars ago.
