FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD CALL TO GREENEVILLE ‘Chemical Subdued Blaze in Rooms of George Lasatz. A fire, started probably from a lamp that had been left in apartments oc- cupled by George Lasatz, a Syrian, in the building at the corner of North Main and Golden streets, called the department there on Wednesday eve- ning at 9.20 by a bell alarm from box 226 on North Main street, near Erin street. The box was pulled by Wal- ter Tillen, who with Edward Kozlow- ski ang Leo Macusky had seen the smoke from the street and run to the box. Nobody was home in the tene- ment on the second floor where the fire broke out. Two streams of chemical, one from the autochemical and the other from the wagon of Chemical Co, No. 1, with several small tanks of chemical were used, and no.water was required, al- though & line of hose was run in ready for use if required. The firemen had to cut away a considerable part of a partition and also cut through the floor into the celling of the room below to get at the fire. The recall was struck in about half an hour. The damage was probably “about $200 to the building and contents. In responding to the alarm, the chemical company from the Main street station scored a point on the autochemical from the central station by beating it to the Buckingham Me- morfal on Main street, but the speed of the auto landed that piece of ap- paratus first at the fire. The Greeneville Hooks and the Greeneville steamer responded and the steamer stood in North Main street getting steam up ready for service. Policeman Matthew Delaney and Ser- geant John H. Kane were on duty keeping the crowd in order. The bullding is owned by Joseph Rymsza, who occupies one tenement in it and in the basement of North Main street is the barber shop of S. Nicacos.

Counsel Want to See Them Paid If Charters Are Granted to New Power Companies. (Special to The Bulletin.) The committee on incorporations gave a continueq hearing Wednesday afternoon at the capitol upon the acts incorporating the Co-operative Power company and the Rex company, and to amend the charter of the Norwich Compressed Air sompany, the oppo- nents being glven opportunity to be heard. Those favoring had been heard at the first hearing. Wants Taxes Looked Out oFr. William H, Shields, representing the town of Norwich, said the claims were similar to those presented by Mr. Fan- ning, counsel for the city of Norwich, in the matter of taxation of the Com- pressed Air company to the amount of $6,404.81, back taxes, In addition to the city taxes. This is a pecullar mat- ter and the legislation was peculiar. The first compresseq alr company in the United States was inaugurated in Norwich by Joseph Mack of Philadel- phia, and this is the plant upon which taxes are due. The plant was intend- ed to encourage Industry and the pow- er scught was on the Quinebaug river, located in_the towns of Lisbon and Preston. There was o tremendous out- ley, and_the users were located in the town of Norwich, the amount ex? pended being about $500,000. Pipe llnes were lald in_the streets to the city and town. Conditions were peculiar as to taxation as the plant was in two towns and not In Sorwich. A contract was made with the city of Norwich, or agreement, and by leg- islative enactment. There is effort to have appealed the section that gives protection in the matter of taxes. The Rex company, through Mr, Comstock, if chartered, is willing to take care of the tax Under the statute the plant shall be set on the tax llst of Norwich at not less than $100,000 and for which Mr. Comstock could have purchased for not less than $195,000. Mr. Shields sald that every effort has been made to collect the tax, but without success, although the town pays to the state the tax due the state on this plant. At present the Com- pressed Air company has no right to manufacture electricity, but they now asi_for the privilege and they come to the committee as defaulters. Mr. Shields said there were legal taxes that were legally due. Suits were brought for the taxes before the legis- lature agreed to take care of the taxes due. Mr. Fanning wanted some pro- tective clause written into the char- ter of any company that may take over the Compressed Air company. Nor- wich has paid to the state these obli- ations and ought to be made good. mphatic specifications should be made in these new charters that there should be no competition with the Nor- wich municipal plant, and that the local company ought to be properly safeguarded. Not Competiing with City. . Edwin W. Higgins said it was the intention not to compete with the city of Norwich municipal plant, but was willing to have Mr. Fanning prepare a clause to that effect. Objection was made to the compressed air feature of the Co-operative proposed charter and Mr. Higgins agreed to have that stricken from the hill. Mr. Fanning said the legislature glves the Norwich plant authority to extend service and to sell to existing Soft, Fluffy Hair Always Aids Beauty and Charm Girls and women of a1l ages want to be charming, beautiful and attartctive —it's their birthright—but stringy, thin and lifeless hair destroys half the beauty of a pretty face. If your hair is not beautiful, lacking that enviable softness, lustre and fluf- finess, or is falling out, full of dan- druff, too dry, or the scalp itches and burns, by all means use Parisian Sage, an inexpensive and _delicately-per- fumed liquid, easily obtained at any drug counter or from Lee & Osgood. Simply rub Parisian Sage well into the scalp. It will go right to the hair roots, nourish them, and stimulate the hajr to grow strong and luxurfant. It removes every trace of dandruff with one application, thoroughly cleanses the hair of dust and excess oil, leav- ing it soft, fluffy and lustrous.

PUMPING ENGINE GAVE GOOD DEMONSTRATION. Would Be Desirable Addition to Fire Department. . The hearing was A demonstration of a combination auto chemical pump and hose wagon made by the White company was giv- en Wednesday afternoon at the cor- ner of Cedar street and Greene ave- nue before the fire commissioners, the water board and Fire Chief Howard L. Stanton. The engine showed its effi- ciency by raising a 25 pound pressure at the hydrant to 80 pounds, and it was remarked by Chairman A. 8. Comstock and Supt. J. J. Corkery of the water department that such an apparatus would seem to be the solu- tion of the hill problem here, with the four inch water mains. Chalir- man Thomas H. Beckley of the fire commissioners was also impressed by the demonstration, and gave it as his opinion that the expenditure for an apparatus of this character—one tha would deliver about 400 gallons n.nl; would respond to all alarms—would probably be the best investment that Norwich could make for its fire de- partment. -_— Returned to College. companies and he believed there might be competition. He felt obliged to call the committee’s attention to the neces- sity for protection of the taxes to the amount of $5,220.20, Christopher L. Avery asked if the Connecticut Power company or any like company could not now take over under their charter the Compressed Alr company. The reply was that not for the purpose of producing com- pressed air. Changes in Co-operative Co. Rights. Mr. Avery, counsel for the Co-oper- ative company, submitted changes to the substitute bill with reference ot allowing the company transmission rights and to make contracts with manufacturers on the Quinebaug river in territory not covered by existing electric companies, and not sell to any concern except to mills, without the consent of municipality or other com- panies. Mr. Fanning of Norwich, who had the floor- when the hearing was ad- Journed st week, sald that Norwich Wwas interested to the extent of taxes due Norwich by the Norwich Com- pressed Air company, as Charles W. Comstock would have done had the Rex company been incorporated. Mr. Avery said if the Co-operative company took over the compressed air company it would assume all legal rights.” There would be no moral ob- ligations to meet, only legal. Protect City of Norwich. Mr. Fanning stated that agreement was made between the compressed air company and the city of Norwich in regard to the payment of the taxes. If the proposed company is allowed tn engage in the manufacture of electrici- ty it becomes a new company and would ignore the city of Norwich claim. The property of the company is now there and will work automatic- ally and without the employment of help, except two men. The earnings were $12,000 a year, more or less.
