Discussed Before Water Committee— Thread Mill Employes and Hospital Put in Clai The water committee of the clty council, Aldermen O'Conner, Martin and Clark, with Corperatien Counsel Kelley as legal adviser, held a public hearing at the council chamber Friday evening to listen te propesals concern- ing the disposition of the 1,100 tons or less of ice at the municipal ice plant. The troublesome ice baby was intro- duced by Chairman O'Conner, who oc- cupied the mayor's chair at the hear- ing. There were a number of specta tors present who were interested in the ante-mortem dissection of the little city child. Mr. Jenkins, speaking for the operatives of the American Thread company, who desired the city ice to cool the ‘drinking water at the several miils of the A. I Co,, asked the com- mittee to recommend to the city coun- cil that about 160 to 1756 tons of the city ice be reserved for them. He sug- gested 30 cents a cwt. as a fair pric they to pay the expenses of its deliv ery from the city icebouse to the mill. Mr. Jenkins said the operatives paid for their own ice for drinking purposes and they were now paying W. H. Smith, the local dealer who purchased the Ayer ice suj 50 cents per hun- dred pounds. FKayette Goss and A. C. Everest also represented the A. T. C: ives and endorsed Mr. Jeniins’ Sweeney and J. F. Carr, representing Joseph's hospital, ask - ed the commiltee to reserve about 75 tons of city ice for hospital uses at a fair price, the hospital to pay for its own delivery. Lawyer W. A. King rep- resented W. H. Smith, the local ice dealer. He said whether or mot witn authority /he did not know, but Mr. Smith, his client, understood when be went into the ice business and bought the Ayer stock that the city would seli its ice to him (Smith) and not be- come his competitor. He said Mr. Smith would undoubtedly be willing to put up as much as $1,000 so that the | hospital, the A. T. Co. operatives and the poor people could secure the ice at low terms, even suggesting a donation of the lice to, the hospital Lawyer King said, however, that the real bon: of contention would be to designate who were really the poor people. Mayor Dunn addressed the commit- tee as a citizen and not as mayor. He reviewed the circumstances that led the city to secure legislation giving it the right to cut, sell and harvest ice. ‘The mayor sald he did not care how the newspapers reported him. Then he referred to the proceedings that led | to the city establishing the city ice plant, his introduction to Mr. Cum- mings _of New Haven, the Dunn- Gates-Cummings “star chamber dinne at the Hooker house” and Cummings’ | efforts (that fell through the ice) ,t) solve the local ice problem. Mayor Dunn stated he had talked with Ice Dealer Smith and told him he was in favor of 40-cent ice and that if he (Smith) treated Willimantic fairly he | would recommend the city council to sell him (Smith) the city ice. Alder- man Martin said he knew of a respon- sible party who would give a bond to purchase the city ice at $2 a ton and | retail it at 40 cents a hundred to fam- | ilies. He was sharply asked by Cor- poration Counsel Kelley who the party was and Alderman Martin searched his lttle red book in vain to find the neme. The alderman at large severely criticized the A. T. Co. for not payinz for the ice for the use of its operativ in the mill. The hearing ended with | the understanding that a city council | meeting should be called next Monday evening (o hear their report and tak: action on th matter.

The whorls of hair on the coats of horses and other animals are natural pedometers, inasmuch as they regis- ter the locomotive activities of the animals on whose bodies they are found. The best examples and the greatést number of these hairy whorls and crests are found on the domestic horse. A notable instance is the graceful feathering that extends along the hollow of the flank, dividing the trunk of the animal from the hind- quarters. There are also crests and whorls on the horse's chest and other parts of its body. A study of the action of the under- Iylng muscles explains the origin of these pecuiiarities in the lay of the hair and furnishes the justification for calling them pedometers, aithough the analogy 1s, of course, merely super- fical.
