Other Times, Other Customs ‘The knife is no longer placed in the mouth,” says a writer on table stiquette who flouished dnly thirty or forty years ago, “by those who give erict attention to elegant table man- rs.” So far, so good; and then our authority spoils it by saying: “It is used only for cutting the meat and mashing the vegetables.” But it was under the guidance of this book or hooks similar to this that our grandmothers were taught, and it was no more uncouth for them to go through the performance of mashing getables on their plate with a steel knife than it is for us to break them with the side of 2 fork, if they are not in convenient size to eat. But If the grandmamas who were taught in the old school make little breaks once in a while, we are apt to think of them as being unmanneriy or as having lapsed into uncouthness with time. nd they are only doing what they were taught to do. Fifty or sixty years ago cups had no handles. Cups with handles were freaky things that conservative folk did not use. The proper way to drink from one’s handleless cup was to leave the spoon in the beverage, grasp the cup‘jus below its rim with the first finger in front of the spoon to keep it from moving. An old eti- auette hook actually shows a dainty hand so placed and it was from this instruction that the genalewomen who wore hoops took their ideas. Books of the same period gave in- struction to take the knife and fork from the plate before passing it for mecond helpings and to lay them on a piece of bread on the tablecloth. The bread, furthermore, was always kept on the tablecloth, since there were no bread and bautter plates, and eti- Guette authorities took pains to in- struct their readers that bread was the only article of food that was ltept on the cloth. Supposediy without this instruction the novice at table man- rers would have kept potatoes and other dainties on the cloth. 8o it is only within recent times one puts the knife and fork at the right side of the plate when the plate taken for “second helps.”—Buffalo ‘p_ Light vehicle lamps at 731 this evening.

That the gas plant is very poorly managed, that a new head should be secured at once for this department, that both gas and electric lighting rates should be advanced, that the need for this advance s imperativ that there is an absence of snap in the employes of both plants of the gas and electric department are but a few of the statements which appear in the lengthy repert made by H. E. Mole, ot to Mayor Allyn L, Brown and pre- zented by the mayor to the common council at the adjourned meeting m the council chamber last evening. The reading of the minutes was waived according to the usual custom and they were accepted. The clerk read his return on the publication of the proposed ordinances presented at the last meeting of the council and the return was accepted. The ordi- nances were then adopted. Alderman W. H. Allen presented the auditinz committee’s report for the vear and it was accepted and ordered printed in the appendix to the journal. | The report of the board of water com- missioners, the chief of the fire de- rartment, the gas and electric com- missioners showing the expenditures for the vear wero accepted and or- dered printed in the appendix to the Journal Alderman C.

The resolution also recommended that there he no col- lection of assessments from those people who have refused to pay om the grounds that they have received no sprinkling henefits in front of their propertie The resolution wak adopted. Separate Account for G. and E. Alderman Dolbeare piresented and moved for adoption the following res- olution: Whereas, The receipts from and payments directly and indirectly made for account of the gas and electrical department. as ziven in the annual estimates, have averaged for several years more than one-third of the to- tal_estimates. and Whereas, the practice of the ci treasurer’s’ office has been to deposit the receipts from the gas and electric department in, and make payments for the department from the eity treasurer’s general checking account, and Whereas, Tt wonld result in morse easily audited accounting and more clearly indicate at all times the rels tion of accounts between the depart- ment and the city to make a change, therefore be it Resolved. That be directed, that the city treasurer beginning May 16, 1917, the beginning of the city fiscal vear, he deposit in a separate bank account to be designated as City of Norwich. Gas and Electrical Depart- ment, City Treasurer's account, all receipts from the gas and elecirical department, and make all payments for account of said department by cheeks drawn on such accoun After a short explanation by Alder- man Dolbears the resolution was adopted. Alderman Dolbeare pointed cut that it would simplify the ac- counting for the G. & E. department. The Gas ond Electric Report. Mayor Frown then presented the report on the condition of the gas and |clectric_department made to him by H. E. Mole of New York, expert en- zineer, secured by the mavor to make the investigation upon authorization of a recent city meeting which voted $1,000 for this purpose. Alderman C. K. Bailey made a motion that the re- port be read. ~Councilman Babcock inquired as to the length of the report nd was told that it covers over fifty typewritten pages. Alderman Bailey's motion to bave the report read lost for lack of a second. The report was accepted dered printed in the appendi; Journal. Alderman Dolbeare with reference to the Memorial Day parade, said that Memorial Day this vear is g Ht- tle different than in other vears. We are at war, he said, and I appreciate as never before, the sacrifices of the boys of '8l. He sald he thought it more fitting that the council march in the parade rather than ride in auto- mobfies as bas been the custom. His motion_was seconded by Councilman to the m., ev Developing Inustries in lndia. | There has been. or jof talk about the : iment of India ti < jthreatens to ar i Those who possesc merinzs of a commo: vie iwhole question seem to e deeply with an incipient advos faver of the old cottage India. ~Unpleasant as the bare fact may be, it has to be realized that sich of the smail industries as are now de- cadent have but earned their own fate, Any attempt to create, in these days of practicai utilitarianism, a taste for the muslins of Dacca or the Kinkohs of Surat would be to court simple dis- aster. That machinery must super- rede hand labor is writ large over the face of medern industrialism. But in order to fully utilize imported machin- ery it is essential that there should be indigenous skill available to cm- play it to the best advantage. The want of skilled Jabor has, in the past, contributed not a little towards biock- Ing the way of industrial progress here for it is impossible that with every kind of machinery therc should be added a colony of imported artisans.— Capital (Calcuilta). a reat deal | cevelop- | ies of Awaiting an Explanation.

John H. Vaughn. There was some discussion as to whether the other city officials would care to fall in line rather than ride in automohiles as it was pointed out that there were sev- eral who might feel that they are not able to march and whe would not care to ride if the remaining town and city officials marched. Alderman Doibeare then amended his resolution reguesting the city clerk to notify the town nand other city officials of the action taken. When put to a vote the motion was lost. The matter of rccompense for the gentiemen who served on the Thames street committee to secure the Drop- erty necessary in the widening of the street, was referred to the finance and public works committee jointly. Appropriation was made for a bill for street lighting and maintenance amountinz to $1436.66. This LIl was rendered hy the gus and electrie de- partment at the request of the mayor that misht be included in the bills o be pald for the year just ended. Appropriation was made for a bill of 35200 to cover the amount paid to take up note 354. Adjournment was then taken to May 26 at S p. m. G. AND E. REPORT. Need for Increase in Present Rates is Imperative. The need for an increase in both gas and_electric_rates is imperatice. ac- cording to the report made by H. I. Mole, expert engineer, to Mayor Aliyn L. Browa. A summary of the report foilow ade an examination of the municipality’s gas and electric prop- erty in the city of Nerwich and the ew York, expert .engineer, Investigator Mole Recommends That Capable Head be Se- cured for That Department at Earliest Possible Moment J—S-ysGuM Should be Increased to $1.25 Per ° Thousand Cubic Feet and Base Rate for Electric Light- Cents—Absence of Snap in Employes at Both Plants—Report Made at Council accompanying report gives the results of our findings. Recommend Rate Increase. The electric and gas rates are low, especially in view of the fact that the price the department has paid for both steam coal and for gas coal dur- ing the past eight months has been practically double the price paid 18 months ago. The price of gas oil has also practically doubled. In view of this we recommend the base rate for electric lighting be increased from $§ cents to 10 cents per kilowatt hour and that the 2 cent portion of the power rate be revised to take the ioad factor into consideration. We also recommend the base gas rate be in- ereased from $1.15 to §1.25 per M. cu. ft. Gas Plant Poorly Managed. The gas plant is very poorly man- aged, the superintendent of the same having previously had no gas experi- ence. We recommend that a suitable gas' man be obtained at the earliest possible moment and until such a man enters upon his duties but few oper- ating economics in that plant can be obtained. ‘The condition of the electric powor station is generally good. The condi- tion of the overhead distribution eys- tem is generally fair. The condition oOf the gas plani is fair to poor. The gas department for the past 12 menths has shown the highest per- centage of gas unaccounted for of any gas property in the state of Connecti cut. This is undoubtedly due to lewk: mains. The records of the gas de- partment for the past two years show that a considerable amount of the tar manufactured has heem ailowed to g0 to waste in the Shetucket river. In addition to polluting the river, *his tar Is of comsiderable fuel value. Incomplete Record: The map of the electric distribution system and the map of the as mains, which were made about 1902, are ap- parently the only records of the alec- tric distribution system and of ine ®as mains, and we understand thaf since the municipality acquired the property ne records of the extensions, alterations or removals of either the electric or gas mains have been mede on_these maps. > The replacement value of the com- bined gas and electric property, not including any item for value of fran- chises, good will or moing concomm rights, but including 25 per cent. for overhead charges on ail excepting real estate. we estimate to be s follows Repiacement value, $992,625 Present physical value., $727, Operated at a Loss.

During the time of our visits at Norwich, in March and the eariy part of April, this year, the T50 ISW steam turbine in the city’s power station was usually operated during the working day, being shut down during the noon hour. and the hydro-elsctric power was used either all of the time or during a mafority of the time. On one of ihe days we observed the 2000 K'W steam turbine In operation, and in reply to an inquiry we were informed that due to the rains the previous day the tail water at the Uncas power station had backed up, thereby reducing the head on the waterwheels and consequently curtalling the output of that station. Gas Manufacture. The department manufacturers both gy, but tion, lows: New TLon three years ago the manufacture of the mixture of both coal gas and wa- ter gas worked in very well together, for the reason that coke, a by-product from the coal gas, is available as gen- eraior fuel in the water gas 4et, and furthermore, the {lluminating quali- ty of the mixture can he regulated without the necessity of adding an enricher which would be necessary if coal gas was manufactured exclusive- Iy. The last two or three vears the cost of cil used in the manufacture of water gas has been so high that most companies have manufactured as large a portion of coal gas as Pos- sible conststent with the mixture maintaining the standard of iltumina- tion required by the various public service commissions.
