FILLING THE CITY" BIG NEW GAS TANK. 500,000 Cubic Foot Container Getting Ready for Service, Friday night at 6.30 o'clock the big new gas_contuiner at the city works, of the capacity of 500,000 cubic feet, begen to fll with gas for thy first time. It will be several days be ‘ore it is filled, as the gas will be put i only by degrees s there is a above usage from what torts at the works on Norfa Main street can supply. It would be (oo expensive a proposition to run the re- torts specially in order to fill the new container up all at once. When the new tank is filled it will give the city plant a total supply of 650,000 cubic feet, which will be ample for all needs. The old tanks, one of 109,000 cubic feet capacity and the other of 50,000 cubic feet capacity, will be used as auxillaries when the new big tank is filled, since the regular city supply will all be drawn then from the new tank. One of the “marked improvements that will be noted as soon as the new tank is in service will be in regularity of pressure, as the draft on such a big volume of gas will not be enough to affect the pressure the way it does now when the supply is drawn from smaller tanks. The draft that the Thermos com- pany makes on the city gas service will also not have an effect when the new tnak is the source of supply, as the Thermos factory will be on &’ di- rect main from the gas works to the factory, which can be shut off from the city mains by a_valye in Naorth Main strest near the Preston bridge. Before the ne wiank wns rosay for service it was tested out by bemg filled with compressed air to show any possible leaks. It passed the test sat- isfactorily and the valves were then opened, allowing the air to escape and leaving the tank ready to receive the gas The tank is 104 fest in diameter and is connected to the meter house by a 20-inch pipe. From there it reduces to a 10-inch pipe to the city main. Jur the fjur re- FOR MERCHANTS’ WEEK.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SUSTAINS DAIRY COMMISSIONER |In Proposing to Exempt Dairy Deputy from Civil Servi Attorney General John H. Lignt has glven an opinion to the civil servi commission in which he says that & H. Stadtmueller of W Hartford, who has been appointed dairy and pure food commissioner by Governor Baldwin, is “an appointing” officer and can ask that the office of deputy be exempted trom test and competition The opinion of the attorney general in full is as follow Attorney General's Office. Hartford, April 16, 1914. Hon. Charles G. Morris, President of State Civil Service Commission: Dear Sir: 1 have your favor in which you say: “The question has arisen in connec- tior. with tie proposed appointment of a deputy dairy commissioner whether or not a chief officer who has accepted his appointment by the governor or legislature, but whose term of office has not yet commenced, is an appoint- ing officer within the meaning of chap- ter 232 of the Public Acts of 1913." I am of the opinion that the dairy commissioner, recently appointed by the governor, and whose term of of- fice will commence on the first day of May next, is an inchoate commissioner and an “appointing officer” in the meaning of chapter 232 of the Public Acts of 1913, and as such “appoint- ing officer” he may properly notify your board at any time that there will be a vacancy in the office of deputy dairy and food commissioner to be filled by him by appointment on the first day of May, 1914, and to request {1 he should see’ fit to do so the ex- emption of said office frem the test and competition. Very truly youyrs, JOHIN H. LIGHT, Attorney General. This decision by the attorney gen- eral has a bearing upon the appoint- ment of Thomas Holt of Southington to replace Tyler Cruttenden as deputy dairy commissiorer. ABSTRACT OF CONDITION OF SAVINGS BANKS. To Be Published Monthly by Con- necticut Bank Commi ners. State Bank Commissioners Fred P. Holt and Norris S. Lippitt will pub- lish an abstract of the general condt tion of savings banks in Connecticut on the first of every month, beginning May 1. This will be done because the commissioners believe that it is best to allow the public to keep in_cloger touch with such institutions than is possible under the present system of Teporting once a year. They have sent to all of the eighty-four saving banks in the state, a notice of their desire to print the cooperation of the institu- tions by reporting promptly. So far, sixty-five hanks have replied, all de; claring themselves heartlly in favor of the innovation, and promising to aid in. every way. The statement will b sent in by the banks on the last da: of each month, and about six days will be requircd for their receipt and tabulation &nd for printing. . "The abstract will not Jeal with the banks individually, as it is felt that it, would be unfair to show the detalls of the business of each organization for comparfison, but all will be included in & general report which- wil give the| gregate gain or loss of deposits roughout the state, together with any charge that may bave been made, in Investments or otier official ness. Standard Forms.

These will be arranged for inspection There will be no compulsion as re yds adopting any of the forms or ks, but it is believed that banking men who see the samples will of their own yolition select any that are more nearly perfect than the ones they are now using. The advantages of this will be two-fold- tending toward : efficiency for the banks, and toward making the work of the commission- Under ‘the present conditions, an_ examiner may visit twenty different banks and find that every cne has a different system of bookkeeping or a different set of files. { ers and examiners easier.
