Booth in the civil slde of the court of common pleas 2t New Haven, in the sult of Jerry Coz- zolino of ‘the Cozzolino garage of Com- merce street, that city, against James Puzone, ‘While the question of damages Wil mot be disposed of umtil the issues are tried out, however, the principle involv- ed is settled by the decision on'a de- murrer.

Puzone sent three-autonfobiles to the Cozolino garage and the bill for repairs amounted to several hunired _doMars. The owner refused to pay in excess of $50, holling that the state law forbids ‘making repeirs In excess of that amount without a’ written order, and mo such consent had been given, The repairman then brought the suit to the common Dleas court.

Mr. Jenkins said n part: Within the past few months, most of us ggvp received notices from the ety of Norwich Gas & Flectrical Dept., rec- ommending that certain changes be made in our electrical Installations, particn- larly referring to what we call the ser- vice, or that part of the installation Which includes the city’s connection with the bullding and the entrance of the ‘wires into the same. It is something of a mystery to many why these cianges are recommended, and it is rather interesting to mote the differenent attitude assumed.by the re- ciplent of these mnotices. Some ‘think it very unfalr that work dome a few years ago in now no longer considered good ‘practice. Others, real- izing the rapid progress which has been made In the electrical Industry are only too glar to comply with falr recom- mendations which are made with only one purpose In view, namely, safer con- ditions and better service. These rec- ommendations are the results of what experience has taught. When we realize that only 15 years ago we were burn- ing carbon filiment lamps consuming 33 to 4 watts per candle and poor at that, flickering.” discolored after a few weeks' service, compared with our gas filled 1 watt per candle clear, steady lamp of today, is it surprising that improve- ments are recommended along the line of distribution and installation as well. One of the most fmportant recommend- ations is In regard to the \rounding, and brietly, this is the why and wherefore of grounding. Grounding cr earthing, 1s the conmecting of an electric circuit to the earth. Theorectically, electricity will always seek the path of least re- sistance to earth, therefore, If we equip our installation with a direct wire of sufficient size and properly installed, any rush af excess current will be conduct- ed thereby, to earth instead of following the smaller wire of higher resistance to our fixtures and appliances. The pur- pose of this ground wire is to protect the wring in the building, and also per- sons llable to come In comtact with it from any rush of voltage which through accldent may be imposed upon it. Another recommendation which s generally considered important, is the replacing of metal sockets with porcelain sockets in cellars, bath rooms, and over sinks. Also where one s likely to put one hand on a radiator and turn on the light with the other. The reason for this s that the insulation on a cocket 1s very thin, and after being In service a long time may deteriorate enough fo let the electricity leak throush. A person touching a sdcket where such conditions existed and touching at the same time a part of the plumbing or heating sys- tem which is always grounded by a water pipes to the earth, might recelve enough of a shock to make him jump. The same is true in the cellar, and is particularly like'v to occur if the cel- lar_bottom s wot. We often insert in our ads the words— “Ask Us Questions” and we mean just that.

There are many other things in elec- tric wiring which don't amount to much in_themselves, perhaps, but are just the difference between right and wrong. Every man takes a certain amount of pride in his business. He wants hi own little husiness to prosper of course, and strives to make It a success. But greater than this, s his desire to see his chosen profession an honarable one. We electragists (which is a ne: adopted name for Electrical contractors and dealers) want to see the standard of electrical work ralsed. We are proud when one of us like W. L. Goodwin or Samuel Chase reaches a point in his ca- reer when he is honored, respected, and his counsel sought by mot only men of the electrical industry, but by all men Wwho honestly desire to see in practice a better code of business ethics. The electrical industry has recently adopted a rew child, and belleve m he is some husky brby.

His name is Radio. They have heard his cry in the coun- try grocery store. At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Jen- kins answered a number of questions re- garding electrical house wiring.

Bennett. That mark- Jor It ey 1623 | ed the maximum sum that has had to |be soent by the department to repair ' such highways at the end of the soring frosts. Last soring’s damage was less, akhough it caused a heavy expenditure. Determined to keep down such waste | this year to'a minimum, the highway, motor vehicle and state police depart- ments have agreed to co-operate in a plan of strict enforcement of the law | azainst overloading. The law gives the | highway commissioner the right to or- | der a reduction in the load of any truck | using the state highways, if he think it is damaging the roads, or evem to {der the machine off the road altogether. The other two departments will assist (him fh the watch for trucks which arc | t:arly detrimental to the hkly § s and arrests Wil be made by the siate police in flagrant cases, !t was an- nounced Wednesday by Superintendent Rébert T. Hurley. The fact that a truck is registered to carry a rated load does not hinder the highway commissioner ordering a re- éuction of the load to a weight under the registered capacity, when he is con- vinced that it is too heavy for tho par- ticular road to be traversed. The great- est trouble is experienced, he sald. bn gravel roads and those of the cheaper construction. Most of the concrete Toads are bearing up remarkably well, Commisgioner Bennett pointed out that the necessity and expends of repairing damage dome to main roads n the spring often takes funds that could oth- erwise be used to extend the reconstruc- tion work on highways that have be- come run down by long wear.
