WILLIMANTIC OFFICE, 67 Chureh St. ‘Telephome 210-2. TWO AUTOMOBILE MISHAPS DUE TO WEDNESDAY’S ICE, Only by a Fencepost—D. C. Flaher- ty's Machine Ovefturhs, Women in- jured. . Many falls and bad accidents were reported Wednesday as the result of icy going. The streets during the morning were coated with thin ice that made walking anything but safe. but during the afternoon some of the walks became passable, as sand was sprinkled on them, or the ice softened up and became slush. Many going home for their noon meal from the shops and stores experienced thrilling sensations as they endeavored to get along without falling, which some were able to do, while others were not as fortunate. Two Automobile Accidents. Two accidents are known to have happened between this city and Spring Hill. One accident happened on this stretch of road to the car owned by T. R. Sadd of this city. As the car was being driven along it skidded in front of the store in Mansfield Center and crashed into a fence which stands on the top of a six-foot embagiment. Cne of the posts in the fence h#d and this was the only thing that saved the car from ~oing down the embankment into a lot. With the assistance of a number of men who saw the accident, the driver lowered the car into the lot and then drove out on to the highway. The car was not damaged nor was the driver injured. Spring Hill Car Overturns. The other accident on this road hap- pened in Mansfield Center when the car owned and driven by Daniel C Flaherty of Spring HKill skidded and struck a culvert, causing it to turn over, Those in the car with the driver e Mrs. Norton White of Winsted, Byron Hawkins of Middletown and her two children, Margaret and Kenneth. The women had been spend- ing the holiday with their father, Mr, t, who was bringing them to to take the train for their > car was being driven at a fair of speed when without warning it skidded off the road and over the culvert, which caused it to turn over. People living in the neighborhood wit- tiessed the accident and hurried to pull the car off from the passengers. It was at first thought that all the occu- pants of the car were injured, but it w learned that the only one seri- t was Mrs. Hawkins, who was suffering from a badly bruised shoulder and strained back. She was taken into a house near by, where she received medical attention; later the ambulance brought her to St. Joseph's hospital in this city. The other mem- bers of the party were taken back to Mr. Flaherty on Spring car was badly damaged by dent. Truck Goes Off Bank. The first accident to be reported in the city was shortly before noon, when the autotruck of the Wet Wash laun- dry skidded and went off the bank east of the Brick Row. The car landed on the railroad stracks and it was same time before it could be brought back on to the road, where it was run off under its own power. Neither the car nor the driver was injured by the drop, which wae only three or four feet. A number of close calls were re- ported from the drivers of machines who had cause to use the hilly side streets, which were made very danger- ous by the thin coating of ice, rate CONTENTS OF SAFE SUFFERED NO DAMAGE. Went Through Fire at Jordan Blook— Smaller Safe Somewhat Warped. The work of clearing up the ruins of the Jordan fire has been completed and now the building has been razed even with Main street. A great deal of the stock of the company was found in the cellar of the building, but much of this was found to be worthless.

At 8 o'clock in the evening over 200 citizens of the city, were in the town hall and the meeting was called to order at 8.15 by Mayor Daniel P. Dunn, Clerk A. C. Scripture read the reso- lution of the meeting of Dec. 4th, when it was voted to adjourn the meeting until this date. The report of the fire committee was then read by the chair- man of the committee, George M. Graves. Upon the motion of Wade U. Webster it was voted to accept the resolution as read. This meeting then adjourned and the meeting for the pur. pose of motorizing the fire depart- ment was then started, Clerk A. C. Scripture read the ac- tion taken at the last meeting and this was adopted on the motion of Wade U. Webste: ‘Walter B. Knight then intreduced an amendment to the resolution intro- duced by Counsel Kelley at the last meeting in regard to motorizing the fire department. A discussion was then -held in regard to this amend- ment, whigh would appropriate $20,900 for the purchasing of the new appa- ratus and of making the necessary im- provemenjs to the department. The emendmént was adopted. The amend- ment was then read and it contained seven clauses which, upon the motion of Charles A. Capen, were voted to be taken up separately. The first clause of the amendment was for the appropriation of $8,400 or a part for the purchase of an auto- pumping engine of a capac of from 500 to 750 gallons. Charles A. Capen made a motion that this clauce be adopted and it was carried. The second clause called for the ap- propriati 0 for the purchase of one or two combination chemical and hose wagons. W, C. Norris in- troduced a substitute for this second clause and after much discussion th substitute was voted down. The mo- tion by C. A. Capen that no action on this second clause be taken was car- tied. The third clause, which was adopted upon the motion of C. A. Capen, was un appropriation of $2.500 for the pur- pose of purchasing mew hose for thei department. The n the fourth, clause adopted upon the motion of E. P. Ches bro and $1,000 was appropriated for the erection of a fireproof building in which the batteries may be ored. This new building is to be erected back of the present firehouse on Bank street, The fift ause brought forth a lengthy discussion, the most interested speakers being Robert George Taylor and Gates. This clause Would appropriate $1,500 for the alteration of the street firehouse &o that sleeping qua ters could be made in the house- R. E. Mitchell made the motion that no action should be taken on this clause, but after a lengthy discussion this was not accepted. C. A. Gates then made a motion that the resolution should be laid on the tabie for the time being. This motion was carried. The sixth clause was to haye the common council go before the next session of the legislature and have the charter amended so that the fi department could be put en a half and half volunteer system. Corporation Counsel Kelley was then called upon to give his idea in the matter and he decided that it was not necessary for the council to do this, as they had supervision over the department and could do as they saw fit in the matter of appropriations to-this branch of the city departments. On the motion of C. A. Capen it was voted that no action should” be taken in regard to this clause. ‘The seventh clause, which gave the common council power to make the requisite appropriations of the money, was adopted upon the motion of C. A. Capen. C. A. Gates then made a motion that the resolution which he moved be put on the table should be taken up and action taken. This motion was car- rlied. The clause was for the purpose of appropriating $1,500 for alterations to the Bank street engine house. R. Eq Mitchell then again made the mo- tion that no action should be taken on this clause. When remarks were ask- ed for on this clause F. P. Fenton spoke of the need of at least two men to be at this station house for the purpose of taking care of the new piece of apparatus for which money had been appropriated and of the great good and service that two men and the apparatus could go getting to fires from this house.

The citizens of the city in the last two meetings have appropriated $20,400 toward making extensive improvements to the fire alarm system and to the department.

If this is found to be a fact, another special city meeting will have to be called and more money appropriated for thie pur- pose. The meeting adjourned at 9.40. FUNERALS. Mrs. Rose L. Walden.

REPORT ON HIGH PRICE OF COAL TO GOV. M'CALL One Cause is the Domination of the Trade by Nine Large Companies. Boston, Dec. .—The immediate causes for the high price of anthra- cite coal are “increases in the price charged by the mining companies, high freight rates on water-borne coal and the difficulty of obtaining additional supplies,” according to 8 report made to Governor McCall to- day by a commission appointed to in- vestigate the cost of living. “A serious aspect of the situation”™ saye the report, “is the domination of the anthraeite coal trade by nine large companies, each of which is closely allied or at least in sympa- thetic operation with the railroad com- pany on whose line it is located. Two or three of the companies have cur- tailed their shipments to New Eng- land during the present year, presu- mably in the interests of the railroads that could secure a longer haul and more revenue by delivering coal else- where.” The report recommends that the leg- islature memorailize congress in be- haif of a law that will give power to federal authorities to separaie effec- tively the antbracite coal business from centrol, direct or indirect, by any railroads; secure the prompt re- turn of empty coal cars; direct the railroads, in case of emergency, sto give the right of way to coal over traffic not involving the immediate necessities of life: prevent discrimi- nation in the distribution of coal to different markets, and regulate prices at which anthracite coal is sold. by the mining companies or their agents.
