can be changed for new ones without

Another merchant said he made it
a point to let hill customers know that
he is a patron of the city's plant, .c-
licvlng that it bonclltted him, for it is
not uncommon to hear people express
a preference to trade where the city‘s
lights shine. This is especially true of
the ladies, who are closc observers and
have a drop scnsc of patriotism, and
all know that every dollar abch the.
cost of operation goes toward paying
off the plant's debt. and brinks nearer
the time when even lower rates than
now may he enjoyed for street-l light-
ing llnd commercial lighting, if the
plant is properly supported; also that
it protects all aliko from any concern
that might if it had the people at its
mercy, be‘ tempted to charge exorbi-
tant. prices fo'r‘a necessity of such vital
importance, as sometimes happens in
less favored places than this.

Possibly our sister city has shared
in the benefit. her street lighting for
years has been much below the aver-
due to the fact that the‘ lowest rate
in the state for this class of service
was established years ago, and has
been maintained ever since by South
Norwalk'a plant. too close to Norwalk
for her to submit to a wide contrast
in rates. To show what this low rate

fcrent parts of the city. Most of the
cases of typhoid lever were severe, but
no ,deaths resulted nevertheless.
Tuberculosis has been fatal in eight
of the thirteen cases reported. The re-
port says: “An early diagnosis of this
disease is invaluable for it has been
demonstrated that with early and prop-
or treatment this disease can in many
cases be curdd. The work of the henna
authorities where deaths hays resulted

will in the. future be strictly enforced.
The report recommends the retail.-
diseases, and it is suggested that pos-
sibly the city of’ Norwalk would join
