South Norwallt's Electric

The following article regarding
South Norwalk's municipal eloolrit'
light plant. from the current number

or the Municipal Journal and Engineer
New iork. will be read with Interest.
The eleventh year of operating the
municipal electric light plant at South
Norwalk Conn, finds the plant In a
fine condition and on' Q paying buts.
During the past yoar a number of im-
provements have been made and the
meter system has been introduced. The
open arcs. engines, and generators of
the original street lighting system. af
ter eleven years of service, which more
than saved their cost to the city, have
been replaced by modern machinery
and a higher system of economy in up
oration is assured. It is the purpose
of the Electric Commissioners to use.
their discretion in the placing of me
ters only those that have proved
wasteful being compelled to install
them. Many of the merchants are
finding that the city service is much
better and cheaper than that of prl
vate concerns and advertise the fact

 

of which railroad circles in Chunccti-
cut have heard in a long time, will'
discuss the matter in any way, and a
rcticence which is considered signifi- i
(am is being observed by all of them. I

It is known that the railroad com—
pany has practically purchased the
Fair Haven and Westvillc Railroad
Company. and that this deal will be
consummated as soon as the directors
of the Consolidated railroad ratify the
transaction at a meeting, to he held in
New York on March 12.

The Consolidated road now operates
trolley lines in Meriden. Greenwich.
Stamford and New Canaan ‘and it
aims, it is said. to control all of the
trolley lines In this state. It was be—
lieved. that when the railroad com-
pany began negotiations for the Fair
Haven and Westvillo road, it desired
that line to break up long distance
trolley connections between New York
and Boston. but its reported desire to
purchase other roads, indicates that it.
intends to enter extensively into the
conduct of trolley lines.

If the Consolidated railroad should
acquire the system of the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Company, itl
would give the cues and towns
through which its lines would pass. nl
service second to none in the c-ountty.
The cities, particularly, would receive
attention and new extensions and im-
proved rolling stock would follow. As
an layestment it Hi. t-thought that the
purchase would yield big profits to the
railroad company, which would oner-
ute both the steam and electrical roadsc
in conjunction.

The street lighting service has a ca
pacity of 130 area. although but 102
lamps are in use. These lamps are

Joseph Smith Says
Women Are on a Plane with
the Men in; All Models
Except “Priestly Authority"

WASHINGTON. March i.-—-Preei-
dent Joseph I". Smith, of the, Mor-
mon Church. was called to tne’stand
by Senator Hoar at the opening of to-
day's proceedings before the. Senate
committee on privileges anti elections
in the investigation of protests again-
at Senate Reed Smoot. of Utah 'Sc-
nator Hoar desired information on the
subject of the rights of womem in the
Church and whether they hold any
priestly authority.

Mr. Smith said the semen arc regar-
ded as the enlists of the men in all
matters of voting but that in holding
'priestly. authority,'i women arolnoi
regarded on the sameialpnc. He ex-
plained that the women have a charl-
tablc association known as the W0.
man's Relief Society, in which they
have the authority to perform certain
duties.

Their authority is confined to the
relieving of distress but women are not
ordained high priests. apostles or el-
tiers,

Mr. Taylor asked about M. i“. Cowley
one of the apostles and Cowicy's talks
on doctrine. and transistor to a ques-
tion from Senator Dubois. Mr. Smith
said Mr. Cowley was elected as an ap-
ostle in 1807. iReading from the De
scrct Newa of June 23. 1903. regarding
a speech by Mr. Sntith at the Weber
State Reunion. Mr. Taylor used Mr.
Smith if he was correctly reported in
saying that the doctrine of plural mar-
riages was a revelation by God to
Joseph Smith, Jr.. and to reject that
would be equivalent to a rejection of
God Himself.

Mr. Smith said he believed he was
correctly reported. and when a list of
of names of those present, including
Senator Smoot, was read. Mr. Smith
said the list was correct. He declared
that he would not have bad the article
published if be had been: consulted.
Pressed for a reason. he said he was
under injunction not to teach the
rightfulness of polygamy, and that he
had refrained from doing so in public.

At the hearing today. the was a
difference of opinion between enators

 

 

 

 

 

. Hear and Forsker. which for s time
, threatened to result in a serious clash.

Senator Hoar asked Mr. Smith why
he had avoided teaching what had been
held tube a divine command, namely.
polygamy, and the witness answered
that It was because of the more recent
manifesto stopping the practice. Sen-
ator Hoar persisted that accordingto
the witness' own statements the prac-
tice badvnot been stopped. and Senator
Floraker interposed abruptly. that the
witness had gone over that matter fif-
ty times, and he could see no purpose
of the continued questioning along that
line. Senator, Hoar resented the Inter-
ruption and Senator Foraker's state-
ment suggested that he had asked one
question fifty times. and had received
fifty answers. Hc objected to the in-
ference and when Senator Foraker
arose to answer he too stood up The
two senators faced each other in what
threatened to be a serious clash. Sen-
ator Nraker-naid the senator from
ammonium .“0ould say what he
pleased, of course. but I have not said
he asked fifty questions."

"I accept the disclaimer from the
senator from Ohio." responded Senator
floor. ,but‘ the. euro-live manner-eta
which It, was said failed to relieve thew
situation. :After more heated words
Senstor Bevertdge, who occupied a po-
eiticn directl between the two, re-

tinted poi-m on to ask a question.

that John Outlaw did not think there
was anything wrong in the affair. Neltb
