MEETING THE CITY'S NEEDS. - When it comes to meeting the needs of the city it eannot help but be con- sidered that the city meeting did the proper thing in regard t) filling iis immediate and future nzeds for gas and electricity by authorizing the ap- propriations for the municipal light- inz and power plant. Every user of gas and eleetricity has been made aware of the fact that the present equipment at the gas and electric plant is inadequate. Not only is it working on the ragged edge and supplying with difficulty the demands which are made upon it, but the gas is puor in ality and limited as to quantity w the amount of electri- cal energy is not sufficient to meet requirements. It was only a few years ago tha: the city experienced a shortage ot water. It was clearly demonstrated rhat it was likely to be repeated Gur- ing any dry season and that ‘there should be an increase in its reser- voirs. There was a biz demand for water which could not be met until pro- vision was made for an increased sup- ply with the result that Stony Brook reservoir was added. Wearenow in a nosition to take care of all néeds for many years Lo come. The situation is almost identical re- garding the gas and electric plant. If we ure going to do anything but stand still or go backward it is necessary to provide for the growing neede, We ure In the business of supplying gas and electricity and as long as we are we must meet the requirements and do so in as businessiike 2 manner as would a private corporation. And that according to its action was the view of the city meeting MOVING THE SHIPS. No one will doubt the assertior cf the fuel administrator to the effect that the terminais and docks of this country are piled bigh with material being held for {ransportation to our soldiers and our allies, or that there are hundreds of ships in cur harbors awaiting sufficient bunker coal to get them to their destination. For a long time the situation hss prevailed regarding congested termi- nals and piers. Thousands of tons ef war supplies which have been turned out in this country for Franece and other countries have been clegging our ports because it was impossible to get &hips to move them. The effort to se- cure the necessary transportation was not carried out according to any dras- tic plan. It did not proceed to take possession of the vessels of other coun- iries which were in our harbors and could have been commandeered. There was the disposition to wait until some ugreement could be reached with the owners. In some instances this had been done. In others it has not and & hundred or so ships which might have been uti to relieve the sit- aation are still ridinz at anchor, both with and without cargoes. The situation in regard to fuel has brought forth a different method of at- tack. Industry has been forcad to give way that the ships which the country wants to move may sail. It is there- fore to be sincerely hoped that inas- muek as it is regarded by the fuel ad- ministrator as the only wise move that it will be successful in accom- plishing all that is desired, though the country cannot help but regret that it could not be accomplished in a less drastic manner, - IN RUSSIA TODAY. Fer a long time conditions have been decidedly uncertain in Russia. The bolsheviki have been having the upper hand and from certain reports indications point to the extension of their control in spite of the opposi- tion which they have been receiving in certain of the provinces and even in Petrograd. The convening of the constituent assembly with delegates from all over the country shows in its first tést that the strength of that party is not what it has claimed it to be, In the choice for the chairman the opponents of the bolsheviki were successful in electing a former m-~mber of Kerensky’s cabi- net by a Jarge majority. It was ac- companied by demonstrations against the exirting government resulting in riots, deaths and injuries.

THE HOUSING APPROPRIATION. The action which has been taken by the lower “house of congress in ap- proving the bill authorizing the ex- ngnditure of $50,000,000 for the pur- commodation of shipyard employes would have been of much greater benefit had it been taken some mronths age so that the eonstruetion desired could have been completesl or be well underway at the present time. It was apparently one of the things which was overlooked in making preparations and it therefere calls for @il the more aaste now, that the benefits can be the more quickly obtained. It is there- fore of the utmost importanecs that the approve the measure and thus overcome s rapidly. as possible one of the handicaps which the shipbuilding programme iz cxperiencing. It is perfectly apparent that if the necessary help is going to be secured at the shipbuilding plants, and partic- ularly at those which are being en- larged and those which are just start- :ng' up, there must be sufficient ac- commodations ‘for them and their families. Housing facilities are an important requisite in such localities as esewhere and it is as important that the goveérnment should provide the funds to hasten such work as it is trat financial aid should Dbe ex- tended in other ways in advance of the delivery of the zoods. .The house has recognized this and it is time that ‘e aid igz for in the list indbstries the shipyards oc- a eading place. u b HOME GARDENERS. The need of making an early start, whatever the project that is to be set on foot, ought to be fully understood in view of past ¢xperiences, and such is the way the department of agri- culture loocks upon the matter of get- imng the war gawien campaign started for the eoming season. It will be some time before % will be possible to do any plowing or pianting but there is plemty of op- portunity to de the plamning and in recognition therecf the department anucunces that the backyard farmer is going to be depended upon more b P! an appetizing luncheon table. ing water of handkerchiefs, would have them a little etiff. ~'WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN - SUGGESTIONS FOR When washing dishes leave _the saucepan till after the plates.

There ‘were mistakes of course, but another season will permit of the ex- perience gained being used to gocd advantage. The home gardener will have plen- ty to do. He wiil be working for his own as weil as the nation's goed and when in connection with the pianting of gardens there is urged the raising of a pig or two it can be appreciated that the chance of thus increasing the meal supply of the nation is ene which ought not to be overlooked or neglected. Individual efforts in both of these directions are going to count for much during 1918. 1i EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mr. Editor: Is it not well at times to give our public servants a Iittle praise when they do well? Like most of us they are busy men trying to raake a livelihood for their tamilies ang themselves in a competi- tive world and the time which they give to pablic affairs must be given either out of the time Gevoted to their personal interests or as extra er over- time. In either case, there is a sacrifice which those of us who do not hold public office do not have to make. This«was brought very foreibiy to my mind at our city meeting last Fri- day evening when a number of mat- ters in connection with the city were up for consideration, and one of th: peculiar things was that those mat- ters affected the many who were not there quite as much as the few who felt it their duty to attend. In my way of thinking the people of Norwich, in trving times iike these, have good reason for feeling justly proud of their public servants and we ought to show our. appreciation of them by giving our hearty support to every effort which they make in the line of progress and improvement. The mayor and common council are to be congratulated on that great im- provement on Thames street, the many new sidewalks, and other things that might be spoken of. We can aiso give them ecredit for their endeavor to suppert and aid in every way possible the gas and elec- trical department of our city, which is the greatest undertaking the city has to manage, the most technical and which requires at least as much skill and business experience to direct on successful lines os any of the great in- dustries of our city. ‘We can also congratulate ourselves that we have on the gas and electric commission at preseat, men who are striving to keep up proper improve- ments in the plant, who are fully aware of its needs and make wise ef- forts to attain the objects which they seek. The appropriations which they sought and were sranted at our eity meeting are to be expended for the purpose of increasing the motive pow- er which is needed in our sheps and factories, for lighting stores and homes and last. but not least, to give us bet- ter gas to cook with in our homes, at a time when coal is not only dear but sometimes impossible to gzet. ‘When we think that the important things above mentioned have been done in Norwich, without the playing of petty politics, it inelines us to the belief that there may, in some far dis- tant day, be a millenium. JOHN M'WILLIAMS. Norwich, Jan. 20, 1918. s a s e e e () a P 0 The Farmer and His Auto. Mr. Editor: I read in your paper of January first that every one making application for a chauffeur's license must pass an examination as to his ability to run a ecar, for which exam- ination he has to pay $2 before he can obtain a license. 1 see nothing in this but a new plot to rob the public, & new scheme for graft and red tape. To a man who has been running a car ®or ten years such operation is_easy and he naturally keeps cool when he gets into any tight places. But this . man may rot be able to answer all the scientific. questions pertaining to the automobile ani its handling and a license may be refused him, while the voung feliow who has just come from the auto school, filled to the brim with motor science but without road experience and likely to get nervous when trouble threatens, may get a license without any trouble. Tt is possible in the case of the for- mer that his business depends upon his automobile, for the auto has come to be a necessity for anyone in busi- ness whether he is a merchant, manu- facturer or farmer, and everything ought to be done to increase the use of -auto trucks. Millions of cords of waod are rot- ting in New England and so are thou- sands of barrels of fruit every fall be- cause of lack of carting facilities.
