Russell to Fix Price of Anthracite Coal in This City— — as the man who buys an extra Lib- erty Bond or the gourmet who eats mittee, says he has learned that some people’ in Connecticut are throwing away ashes which contain a considera- ble quantity of unburned or partly burned ceal. The presence of such ~{coal in ashes indicates two faults, for the it shows that the ashes have not been /.| carefully sifted and there would be no the matter up this (Monday) morn- ing.

PEAST OF EPIPHANY, OR “LITTLE GHRISTMAS; Observed Sunday in Catholic Churches Isaiah ix. 1-6 was the lesson read in the Catholic churches of the world Yesterday, which’was, the feast of the Epiphany, familiarly called “Little Christmas,” also “The Feast of the King,” commermorating as it does the visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem. The o) verses of the epi ‘were “Arise, - be enlightened, O Jerusalem; for thy light. is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon’ thee.”. The day’s gospel was Matt. ii. 1-12, narrat- ing the visit of the Magi. ‘At St. Patrick’s church the first mass thedral, at his home in Norwich for a vacation visit. The brief sermon was delivered by ‘the rector, Rev. J. H. Broderick, whose theme wag the les- m taught by the gospel for the Sun- It was an opportune time, Father Broderick said, on the first Sunday of the new year, to kneel as did the three ‘Wise Kings, before the manger in which the Christ-Child is lying, offer- ing him gifts as did the Magi; the gold of good deeds, the frankincense of prayer, the myrrh of resolutions to live during the--coming twelvemonth in accordance with, God's. laws and in His service. . - Yesterday ‘wes the monthly com- munion Sunday of the Young Ladies’ and Immaculate Conception Sodalities and a large number of the s received the Holy Eucharist from Fa- ther Portedance, who was assisted by Rev.

"Phis rule obtains at St. Patrick's at the first mass every Sunday, two priests being required to administer Holy Communion, Rev.

CHURCH SHOWS RIGHT SPIRIT Coal in Bins But_ Services Are g Held in Sunday School Rooms While the present scarcity of coal lasts, the congregation of the Broad- way church will hold its services in the Sunday school rooms. Yesterday there were so many present when communion service was observed, that the large lecture room had to be open- ed to accommodate the -people. Though there is plenty of coal in the bins, the church trustees are of the opinion that, in the présent crisis nothing should be wasted in the mat- ter of fuel, and that by closing the church itself for a time ‘they are set- ting a good example in one way of conserving coal. Rev. Edward 8. Worcester, the pas- tor, made mention of the fact that William A, Young, the first Red Cross nurse to be called to the colors from this vicinity, was to have been ad- mitted to the church membership at the morning communion. As he re- ceived orders to leave town Saturday, a special seryice was held at thé Thursday evening meeting, so that Mr. Young might recefve his first com- munion before leaving for the front and go forth, better armed, maybe, for the work ahead of him. LOCAL MERCHANTS ENDORSE ECONOMY REGULATIONS Call For Reduction of Delivery- Ser- vice by Retailers. Recommendations of the Commer- cial Economy Board of the Council of Nationa) Defense have been adopted by the' merchants in Norwich, Hart- ford, New Haven, New London, West Hartford and Windsor Locks. It is expected that they will be adopted be- fore the énd of the present month in Bristol, Danbury, Danielson, 'Putnam and Willimantic. These recommendations call for the reduction of delivery service by retail merchants and a decided curtailment in the return privilege. The matter is befng handled in Connecticut by a sub-committee of ‘the- industrial sur- vey committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, appointed on recommendation of. the Conmecticut Chamber of Commeérce. COAL SHORTAGE INTERFREES WITH NIGHT SCHOOL Opening Has Been ‘Postponed Until Next Week. Owing to the fact that the Broad- ‘way '8chool will not opert until Jan. 14 on account of the shortage of coal, the opening of the night school has been postponed until the 'same date, As there is to be no fire in the school building it would.be too coid to hold the sessions of the night school. Manchester—The ~local police re- ceived a ten per cent, bonus on their past three months earnings, with. their régular pay - last week. ° The “bonus was voted by the police commissioners some_ time ago. H the| coal was not procured unburned ccal in the ashes if the fur- pice from which they came were pron- érly run. Any coal thus recovered, however, should be mixed wth fresh coal and used over again or can be uged without mixing when glow fire is de- sired, Mr. Bill says. ~He considers it in{almost criminal for any one to_throw away coal with ashes under présent conditions, no matter how easily they can afford such an extravagance. The situation at the local gas and electric plant is getting serious as a consignment of coal which was: sup- posed to have arrived here by Sunday had not put in an appearance Sunday evening. Superintendent Kehoe stated that while there {s only a limited sup- ply of coal on hand, possibly enough tc last a day and a night, the plant would be in serious straits if more within a short time, PLAN TO ORGANIZE WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES Thrift Stamp Campaign Will * Be Started This Week in All Schools in State, Beginning this week a campaign will be started in all the schools of Connecticut - for the distribution of | thrift stamps and war savings cer- tificates among the children. It is es- timated ‘there are more than 209,000 school children in- this state, and it is expected that within a month each one will be the owner of at least, one thrift stamp. - Howell Cheney, state director:of the national war savings committee, has held several conferences with super- ‘visors and principals in different parts of Connecticut, and everywhere he has received assurances of cordial support. It is proposed to organize war savings societies in every grade, and every effort will be made to im- press upon the pupils the doctrine of thrift. The suggestion has been made that each child be urged to save at least one penny a week. The per- formance of additional fasks at home and for neighbors is suggested as a means for increasing the number of stamps which are to be placed on the thrift cards. 'BOY SCOUTS WiLL ASSIST THRIFT MOVEMENT Planned to Use Them Extensively in House to House Canvasses. It is expected that the Boy Scouts. will play an exceedingly active part In the thrift movement which is now under way in Conmnecticut under ' the direction of Howell Cheney, state di- rector for the national war savings committee. Heads of the Boy Scouts in this ‘state have offered their ser- vices to Mr. Cheney, and it is expect- >d that the boys will be able’ to ren- der exceedingly valuable service, It is planned to use the Scouts ex- tensively in the house to house can- vasses which will soon be undertaken in every city and town in the state. Mass meetings for boys will be held everywhere. It is intendea not only to train the boys to-sell stamps, but also to have them buy as many thrift stamps and war savings certificates as their means will allow. It is ex- Dected that an appeal will be sent out to all the scouts in the state to the cffect that the boys of 1917 should show ‘the same patriotism as their ancestors in the war of 1776. They Wwill be asked to go on record as do- Ing everything in their power to bring vietory to this country in the present war with Germany. Mr. Cheney also plans to extend this campaign to the Campfire Girls and other similar organizations' of young women. These will be.asked to bear every bit'as heavy a respon- sibility in the movement as the boys, and it is expected that considerable rivalry will result. BOSTON 'CELLIST HEARD AT Y. M. C. A. MEETING Carl Webster Delighted Large ‘Audi- ence at Sunday Afternoon Rally A larger number than usual at- tended the rally at the local Y. M. C. A. hall Sunday at 3:30 p. m. Those who were present were iighly favored by an address of great merit by Rev. C. H. Ricketts, who held the close attention of his audience as he gave a message from the words of the Apostle Paul, “Forgetting the things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things that are before, I press toward the mark of the prize of ‘the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. Many splendid lessons were brought out by the speaker and it was most certainly @ model New Year's address. The Boston 'cellist; Carl. Webster, rendered five selections and they were all heart- ily e as was the tolk and the coval solo by Hugh Kinder which was ‘well rendered. Mr. Webster is an artist of unusual ability on the sweet toned instrument Which seemed to respond to his every touch. Frederick W. Lester accompanied Mr. Webster, Robert Otis officiated at the piona for the song service. UNION LYCEUM Sunday’s Programme Arfranged by . Miss Eva Lacey Carried Out at:A. M. E.

Speaking of road conmstruction dur- ing the past year the annual report Of state highway commission just is- sued says: During the past vear the work of road construction has been restrict-|. ed because the legisiature of 1915 did not make appropriations for new ro: construction. The legislature of 1917, however, made ample provisions for new coristruction. _Consequently, the coming two years should show an increase in the mileage of improved highways, {hough this amount of work count of rules made by the United States. government for the improye- ment only of necessary roads and al- 50 by the -incréased difficulty in se- curing labor ‘and material on dccount of existent war conditions. A total mileage of all classes of 28.26 miles has been newly built during the year cov- ered by this report, which brings the total net ‘mileage of ‘highways in the state, including both state- aid and trunic lines to 1,457.28 miles. Of this total, the department has reconstruct- ed, with hard surface pavement, 31,27 miles, during the term of this report. In connection with the discussion of road construction this department has become ‘more firmly eonvinced that the necessities of fhe present day traffic on main highways require the construe- tion of pavements of a high character. Conditions at present are abnormal, but even without the war, there is a constant increase in the demand for a twejve-month use of the roads which makes- it necessary to expend more, -and more money. in the construction of improved. types of road surface at a considerable additienal expense. It is hoped, during the coming year, to construct, only!'such roads as are of vital' necessity’ t0 the passage of through traffie er to the development of facilities for the prosecution of the war. This policy may interfere in some instances with the development of the state highway system from the standpoint of the tourist or for the improvement of local communities, but everything must be done to further the country’s interest and this depart- ment ‘expects to work in co-operation with the authorities in the develop- ment of rcads which are a necessity, both ‘from a military and commercial standpoint, ‘in the successful comple- tion of the war. Trunk Line Bridges, In the .construction of trunk line bridges, the department has expended, or constructed for. the, construction of bridges to the .value "of approximate- ly $300,000, which inciudes state funds and refunds to be received from towns and counties and street railway com- panies making a net expenditure of the state in the vicinity of $150,000. This money has not all been spent, but contracts have been let for several bridges now under construction. Maintenance and Repair of Roads. The increase In motor traffic during the past year-has been abnormal and has made it necessary to expend larg- er sums for the ordinary repairs of roads and to increase the expendi- ture for permanent repairs. The .cost of repairs, of course, has Increased due to the increase in the cost of both labor and material. The total amouit expended for both or- dinary and permanent repairs of trunk line Toads for the mileage under re- pair for the past four years is as follows: 1913-14. $785,099.34: 1914-15, 936.4. 1915-16, $981,608.73; 11,495,486.45. The Bolton Notch Crossing. The elimination of grade crossing at Bolton was done in co-operation with the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R! Co. This particular piece of work eliminates dangerous grade crossing and straight- ens out several bad turns in the high- way. The work while not entirely completed is- opened to traffic and is satisfacter . Thames ' River Bridge. ‘The legislature of 1917 required the state hignway .department to trans- form the Thames River Railroad bridge into a highway structure upon its abandonment by the railroad com- pany. Owing .to-delays _on_the part of the Railroad company in the completion of the néw railroad bridge it has hbeen found impossible to do anything with the actual reconstruction of this. old bridge. Due to the indefinite date at which the bridge was to be vacated, it was impossible to let.a contract for the reconstriiction, so undoubtedly the work Will not be done during _the coming year. In view of the difficulty of securing steel and- other materiai for the re- construction work the amount appro- priated by the legislature will proba- bly be far exeeeded by the aggregate cost & he work when done, so that it is_ possiBle that other action by the legislature will be necessary in order to start this work. Niantic River Bridge. This department was instructed by the legislature of 1917 to construct a bridge over the Niantic river between the towns of East Lyme and Water- ford, and under a ruling.of the war department, this bridge was to be con- strupted before: Jamuary 1, 1918, It was found impossible to secure suitable bids for the proper con- struction of 'this bridge within the time _specified,. and in, fact, it was found practically impossible to secure steel or material for this bridge with- in any reasonable limit of time. Conse- quently, this department has petition- ed the ‘war department for an exte: sion of the time during which . this bridge is to be built and has secured permission_to defer the date of com- pletion until January 1, 1919. This ac- tion seems to be wise because of the lack of necessity for a new bridge at this point, sufficient to offset the use of material which might be needed at other points in the prosecution of the war. $579, - 1916-17, PULLED BOX 14 .
