Citizens of South Norwalit Ap-
propriate $27,000 for New
Equipment and Addition to
'Buildinp AiterExplanetioo by
Superintendent Winchester

 

 

Without a dissenting voice the city
meeting held last evening, in Arion
Hall, voted to appropriate $27,000 for
new equipment for the municipal elec-
tric works. The need of new ina-
chinery was explained by Superinten-
dent Winchester, who showed the. re.
markably good condition of the. plant
financially.

The meeting was called to order
at 8:00 o’clock, by President William
R. Thompson, of the Board 01' Conn-
cilinen.

A resolution was presented by
Judge John 11. Light calling for the
appropriation of $27,000 for the elec-
tric light plant.

Matthew Corbett asked what the
commissioners desired to do with the
money.

Superintendent Winchester explain-
ed that the increase of business had
overwhelmed the plant. The. demand
for the service is increasing rapidly.
Factories are equipping themselves
with electric power and at the present
time the plant is not sufficient to sup-

‘ ply the needs of the present patrons.
to say nothing of what may be expect-
ed in the. autumn and winter.

In April, 1905, there were 5,251 in
candescent lamps in use; in April.
1907, 9,202. showing a gain of 4,011.
The consumer's lights iii 190:3 num-
bered 265 and in 1907, 488; gain, 223.
In 1905 31 concerns or private par—
ties were, using the electric power
and in 1907, 01. showing a gain of 3:1.
The horse power of" the motors in use
in 1005 was 180 1-2lund in 1907 049
The amouut‘ot current disposed of in
1905 was 32,490 it. w.; in 1907, 48,973

The.value of the plant in 1905 was
$114,000, with $92,500 iii debt. In 1907
the. value was $118,880, with $08,500
debt, showing that the value of the
plant is going up and the debt decreas-
ing. The value at the end of 1907
will be $117,500, with a debt of $95,500.

The plant, it a. private company,
would yield “income of 15 per cent.
‘He explained that the policy of the
commissioners is not to call for ilfIdI‘
tlons until they are needed and thus
keep abreast of the times. The new
machinery does not. displace the old,
but adds to it. It will increase the
capacity of the plant about 25 per
cent. The improvements will prob
ably consist of an oil engine and gen-
erator, though a storage battery may
be equipped.

Mr. Winchester said flint one of the
large factories is likely to call for fifty
horse powor soon. The electric sign
business is on the increase, anti he
cited A. .1. Collins & Company, who
have one with 150 lights. 11‘ a new env
glue is purchased it. will be a 225
horse power machine, with a genera
tor attached, as well as larger lines.

. The office Of the works will be, moved
and a small building will be erected
east of the station for the office and
store room.

is practically limited by the present

law.

At this point Arthur S. Ferris dc~
Iivercd a most. eloquent speech, which
was enthusiastically applauded, after
which, there remaining nothing else
to be said on the subject, the matter
was put to vote. The ballot resulted
as follows:

AND IUBILEE SERVICE

Big Event by Knight Street A.
M. E. Church. Wednesday
Evening

 

 

A mortgage burning and jubilee ser-
vice has been arranged by the mem-
bers of the Knight. Street A. M. 10.
Church. to be held tomorrow evening
in the church edifice in Norwaik. An
elaborate program has been prepared,
and the exercises are free, so that a
large attendance Is anticipated, not
only of the regular church congrega»
tion, but from other churches in The
Norwalks as well. The affair will be
under the entire direction of the trus~
tees, who are Abraham Showell, presi-
dent; James Perkins, secretary; John
1). Taylor, treasurer; James Fuller and
Horace Mlngo. , _
There will be. singing by the choir
in charge of Professor and Mrs. Per~
kins. The mortgage will be burned by
Master Myron Nichols, son of the pan:
for of the church, and little Miss Julie
Mott, both members of the Sabbath
school. Rev. Dr. Ciirtice, pastor of the
South Norwalk Methodist Church, T.
1. Raymond aiitl others will speak.
With the burning of the mortgage the
church becomes free of debt, and this,
is a source of great satisfaction to the‘
pastor, ltcv. .loliii I), Nichols, and the
members. it is possible that Mr. Nich-
ols’ pastorate here may close with the
conference. year, which begins July
3rd. He has done a most commends»
his service while he has been here,
going about till his manifold duties in
a quiet and unosteiitutious way. He
has without apparent. effort reduced
the large indebtedness he found on his
arrival here, and united the various
factions of the church in a most bar.
inonious body. so that the religious
interest and financial standing is much
better than it has ever been before.

Passenger Conductors are Only
Ones Who Do Not Get Raise
“South Norweik Freight
House Workers May “Get
Eight Hours

 

 

The new wage schedule of employees
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road is expected to go into
effect June 1.

Wages are increased all along the
line. Passenger conductors are the
only unlucky ones, for they get no in-
crease, the railroad officials holding
that their pay is high enough now. The
conferences out of which the agree-
ment has grown have lasted over two
months, but for this year at least the
question of wages is definitely settled.

The demand of the. passenger con-
ductors for it raise from $3.60 to $3.80
a day, it is reported, was the cause of
most of the differences, but from the
first the railroad officials refused this
increase or even to compromise. The
pay of ticket collectors is jumped
from $2.85 to $3 a day, while passen-
ger brakemen get an increase ironi $2
and $2.10 to $2.20 a day. Electric. con-
ductors will get $2.75 a day, and elec‘
tric ticket collectors $2.40 ii day. the
former getting a raise of 10 cents in-
stead of the 20 cents asked, and the
latter getting a raise of 20 cents. One
hundred miles a day or less, 11 hours
a day or loss, will, as last year. cousti
title a day‘s work for passenger train
men. For each additional 10 miles oi
fraction thereof over 100 miles pus
setiger conductors will be paid 11
cents while passenger trulunien will
get six cents, per each additional It
miles, and overtime, after 11 hours
will be paid for at the rate of one
tenth of the daily rate per hour. Spurt
men deadbeatliug for the company by
orders will be paid regular rates, saw
when going to relieve another man
in which case no allowance will I)(
made. A spare IIlliII, according to iht
schedule. is a man who has no regular
job of any kind. A demand made by
the baggagenicii and brukemcn, why
sometimes have to act as assistant
conductors or ticket collectors or
trains of their regular runs, for 2?
cents a day additional was refused. Tht
company has paid and will pay it
cents extra for this work.

The rates of pay for freight train
men follow: Way freight. conductors
$3.70 per day: brukeiiien, $2.00: flag
nieu, $2.75; through freight condut-
tors, $3.35; brakenien, $2.35; flaginen
$2.45. The through freight condiic,
tors asked for $3.75 a day, but got only
a. 10 cent raise. The demand of the
way freight fingmcii for a 15 cen
raise was granted, while the througl
freight brakeinen and tiagrnen recelw
10 cent increases. One hundred mile:
or less. 11 hours or less, constitute I
day‘s work for the freight service men
They will be paid per mile for extra
work as follows: Way freight contiut
tors, $037; through freight conductors
$0335: way freight fingmen, $0275
through freight. flagmen, $0215.
through freight brakenien, $0235.

Brakeinen in eight-hour yards ge‘
a general increase of :30 cents a day
while in the, 10 hour yards the. in
creases will be 20 cents for both (la;
and night conductors and 15 cents to:
brukemen and‘ switchmen. In int
10 hour yards the day conductors wil’
not $3.30 a day for day work and $3.3t
for night work, while the day ’bruke
men will get $2.65 and the night. mei
$2.75. Overtime in yards will. be con
lined to the regular assigned work 0‘
crews, and all other time in excess of
eight or 10 hours. as the case may
be, will be considered as extra service

A clause placing the following yards
on an eight-hour basis, it is r'eported
has been the cause of much trouble it
the. conferences, and has not beer.
adopted as yet: Worcester, Hart
ford and East Hartford. Waterbury
MltiWay, South Norwalk, Hopewell
Westfleld. Pawtucket, Fall River anr‘
East. Providence. Tile question of pa}.
for men on electric trains is coveret'
by the following clause: “The electri
fying of the New York Division be
tween Woodlawn Junction and Siam
ford will in no way effect passengei
trnlnmen. As for other parts of tht
road that have not yet been electrified
the question is to be left and is air
open one between the men and iht
management. as it. is unknown at this
time just what plan will be followed
Under like conditions as will prevail
on the New York Division between
Woodlawn Junction and Stamfort‘
passenger men will not be effected."

CHICKEN cameos ‘
All AHA}; AHOPIHOEBS
lecob Frenke’e Frock-the Envy
of All His Friends, and Neigh-
bors in Norwaik

.. .

Without doubt thti mot-if peculiar
freak of nature that has put in an ap-
pearance in the vicinity of Norwalk.
in many years, is in the possession of
Jacob F'ank, an employs of the fin.
lashing department of the Norwulk
Mills.‘ who lives in one of the inill
houses.

Frank’s monstrosity Is no less an ob-
feet then an otherwtiie normal chick-
en from the body of which protrudes
a perfectly formed human forearm
and hand.

This peculiar chicken was one of
nine hatched out th es weeks ago. It
is said that the ow or had originally
contemplated killing '_fhe,freak but for
some reason he did dot. He said very
little about this pcchlinr chicken. but
during the last few days it became
uolsed around and there is now
a constant pilgrimage of cufloslty see-
kers to look at It.

Three legged chickemi are not such
a great rurety but so far as known
nothing like this chicken has even
been hatched. Th0 resemblance to bus
man anatomy ,lnvuo great that the pro-
jection, which Is located near the tail.
appears to be human flesh. The, re
semblance in form is so remarkable
that there. uneven a wrist. knuckle
joints four fingers a thumb and nails
on all of the lust named members. The
whole projection looks like the fore-
arm and hand of ti young baby.

F‘ranke evidently does not consider
that he has a very great prize. as he
allows the chicken to run around with
its mother and brothers and sisters.
The members of the young chicken
family evidently realize that they have
an unusual type of kin for they fre—
quently peck at the projection and
there is seriously danger of their se-
vering it.

It is expected that Franks will be im-
portuned by meeeum proprietor to part
with his curiosity.

' watt: ‘* =

The county commissioners have
input perfected their reports to bt:
albiniftcd to the. county senators and
‘epresentativcs at their meeting in
Hartford Wednesday afternoon. They
will ask for an appropriation of
388.000 and a. special appropriation of
”5,000 for building the addition to
the jail anti for the repairs that are
nem-ssury, including new boilers ntid
electric lighting.

Would lelue Notes,

The board will report to the niecti
ing that it is satisfied the extra
work can be done without. issuing
bonds. It is the intention of the COHI‘
missioners to ask for permission to is-
sue notes which will be taken up as
fuel as the surplus from the existing
tax rate permits it.

No Tax Rate Increase.

As the result. of this method of If-
nuncing the board will not. have to
ask for an increase in the tax rate.
The rate will remain tit one-tenth of
a mill, the same as for the past four
years.

The Commissioners will be able 1"
show that the finances of the county
were. never in better shape. They will
be able to point to the fact that while
Hartford county is asking for a tax
rate of one quarter of a mill, Pall-field
)nly needs one-tenth. (it‘slllfe thc
large demand for improvements and
repairs.

Witt Ask for $88,000. ‘

The board will ask ror $88,000 as
the regular appropriation, which will
include $5,000 for payment on bonds.
Of this amount the tax will raise
$16,000, the state board of prisoners
$22,000 state board of children at the
county home, $25,000, liquor licenses
$20,000 and miscellaneous sources
$300 .

, County Revenue.

Of the county revenue, Bridgeport
will contribute about $19,000 including
the liquor licenses percentage, but
in return it will. get much more for
the cost of keeping Bridgeport child
ren at the county home is over $12,000
while more than half the jail expenses
are chargeable to Bridgepdrt, to say
nothing of all the other county expen-
ses.

NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

The HungarianAmericnn Band, un-
dcr the direction of James P. Punzeli,
held a very successful rehearsal, last
night, at the headquarters in Laura
street. In connection with the band
an orchestra, has been formed. Sew
eral instruments were imported from
Hunga a week ago, and the per-
former , who had previous instruction,
are already proficient in their use.
The leader, Alexander Doczi, plays
the tambors offline with marked abili-
ty, and there are fouritamborus and a
double bass, .makingan orchestra of
six pieces. All the instruments are
strings and are played with the fin-
gers, no how being used. and the
music is very sweet. and catchy, the
Hungarian national. airs and starches
as well as the dance music being pro
duced with fine effect. The rehearsal

New Haven Railroad Company’ ..
Not Likely to Change From
New Haven to Boston

NEW HAVEN. May l-i.—lu connec-
tion with the acquisition of the lion
ton & Maint- control by the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
’knnpany, the question has arisen of
the transfer of the central offices of
the greater corporation to itostou iii-
atead of their present location in New
Haven. In railroad circles here such
a removal is not considered likely, at
least not during the administration
of President Mellen. It is pointed
out that New Haven, while not quite
so centrally located as Iioston in ref—
erence to the whole system, is at a
point between the two terminals, New
York and Boston. flint allows admin-
istration to be effectively exercised,
particularly in these days of quick
communication. In addition the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Hail-
road Company owns here a great
building with all its offices arranged
and organized for administration and
operation of the system which could
only be abandoned at. very great loss
to the company.

The fact that the New Haven cot,“
puny is also a Connecticut. cori ‘
tion under whose charter a majority
of the directors must be Connecticut
int-ii is also regarded here as a ground
for continuing sortie point in the state
as a center of administration for the
system. In addition, President Mellen
has very considerable personal inter—
est iii New Haven. where he has re.-
cently bought and greatly enlarged a
very costly home.

EAST HARTFORD, May 14.———Spon-
taneous combustion caused a fire in
the East Hartfbrd Meadow yesterday.
which resulted in thousands of dollars
loss. The fire started in a partly fin-
ished house, and spread to houses on
each side, burning them.

Two other tenements in the neigh'
borhood also caught fire. but were exv
tingulshed before any harm was done.
The fire started in a tenement owued
by Charles douche, and painters who
were working in the house sai‘ it. Was
caused by spontaneous combustion.

Before the fire department arrived
the whole inside of the building was
atlre. and the efforts of the firemen
to confine the blaze to it were useless.
if spread to another house, destroying
it, and soon the boathouse nearby was
also tifire, but three or four yachts,
owned by members of the Hartford
Yacht Club, were saved, others were
burned.

In some of the tenements the ten-
ants narrowly escaped being b tied.
Assistance was rendered by the are
ford fire department. and it was only
after two hours of hard fighting that
the fire. was gotten under control. The
total less is placed at about. $10,000 or
$12,000. The amount of insurance is
unknown.
