audience added a pleasing effect by
joining in.
In the evening on the fourth
floor of the plant a large crowd
gathered to enjoy dancing. which
was held until 12 o'clock. Music for
the dancing was furnished by the
Monterey Orchestra and the Ameri-
can Band.
In the evening over fifteen huna
drc persons defied the torrents of
rain and a fifty mile gate to attend
the exercises and the dancing.
The exercises were featured by ad-
dresses by Dudley Field Malone, col-
lector of the Port of New York, un-
der illo \Vilson administration and
Judge James Barrett, president of
the C. .c K. Employes' Mutual Bene-
fit Association. 'Knight MeGrcgor,

In the evening address, Mr. Malone
declared that America had spent
millions in development. of rcschOirs
of hate before the war; the war end-
ed. and now these reservoirs are
spilling the hate out against creeds
and races. lie declared that any se-
cret organization attempting to con-
duct state and national affairs was
working against the principle of the
demoeracy of America. ‘
"it is never those who hate and
destroy \who are remembered and
revered." said Mr. Malone. “It. is
thus? who build and love who are

Mr. Malone closed by urging the
employee of the C. 8.: K. to co-oper-
ate with Mr. Cavanagh and other
officers of the company to make the

“We learn £15m history what the
conditions of hot manufacturing
wure when the Crofut &. Knapp com-
puny was founded. and many of us
here present can remember back to
a period in'our experience when this
business was not far removed from
its primitive conditions. Therefore
we know that hat manufacturing
was in its primitive condition when
this company was founded. that is,
there were no factories'other than
small temporary buildings. The na-
ture of the business, and the volume
of trade was such as to give only
seasonal occupation. The wages
were necessarily fluctuating, and
uncertain. and the conditions under
which all worked both employers
and employees were painful and dis-
couraging. \
"Now here we have ennumerated
the chief things that working peo-
ple are directly concerned with and
in fact all other people are con-

The severe storm that swept the
Norwalks about 4:30 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and continued during
the early part of the evening. caused
considerable damage in the city. The
greatest damage suffered was that to
the Connecticut Light and Power
company. the South Norwalk Elec-
tric “‘orks and the Southern New
England Toll'phone company. All of
these concerns hml n-great many
wires broken down. -

put the syst. nl bur-k in Working or-
der iii less than an hour's time.
A great deal of credit is due to
Superintendent Albert 1-2. “’illchester
of the South Norwnlk Electric Light
works and Superintendent Eben Put—
nam of the Connecticut Light and
Power company. Both of these men
were quick to realize the situation
and despatchcd crews of men totte—
pair the various breaks made by the
storm. The men worked in a pour-
ing rain until the temporary rc-
pairs had all been completed. To-
day the men are. making permanent
repairs and both svstt-ms will be back
in first class condition within the
next few days.
A number of telephones were put
out of order during the storm. but
these are being repaired as.fust as
possible, during today and tomorrow
and the local exehungc will be back
in first class condition shortly.
Besides the number of wires that
were broken by the wind and falling
trees, A great manv electric signs in
the business scctlol‘th7 the city were
_blown down.
In the Second District a great
number of trees were blmvn down in
various sections. Tony Esposito of
Fort Lee street, New Haven. ditched
his auto in the \\'llson Point road
after he ran into a tree that had full-
cn across the road. As a result of
the acicdcnt an axe] on the car was
broken. Patrolman Lockwood pluc-
cd red lanterns on the fallen tree.
The storm struck with all its fury
in the Third District. Billboards
along Seaview avenue were blown
over and in the yard of the home of
E. \V. Howell of Cove avenue, 3
large pine tree. that has stood there
for many years. was blown over and
nearly crashed through the house.
The large electric sign in front of
the stationary store of E. L. Hefner.
in Liberty Square. fell to the ground
and as a result the electric light
service on that circuit was put out
of commission for some time. in
the yard of the l-‘itch school. the
large flag pole was blown over,
crashing against the fire escape and
narrowly missing a window in the
building, it also fell across the tele-
phone and electric light wires run-
ning into the school breaking them.
The new C and K plant in Van Zand‘.
street was not even spared by the
severe storm and as hundreds of
people walked through the building
or were listening to the program.
the lights in the building went out
but they Were soon restored to
working order. The skylight and
two windows were broken in the
Canevari building in Liberty Square.
Referring to last. night’s storm
which seriously interferred with the
electrical service. General Superin-
tendent Albert E. \Vinchester of The
South Norwalk Electric Works made
the following statement:
. "Some section of Norwalk—partl-
cuiarly the Second Taxing District:
and surrounding towns were very se-
verely affected by the failure of the
electric lightingservice during the
fee.
“In the leaders of the Crofut 8:

“Such leaders were always loved.
and such leaders always will be

the Crofut a: Knapp company de-

Power Company this mmnlng:
"One of the worst 'winri and rain
storms which has visited‘ N01‘\Vfllk in
years played havoc with the electric
service wires last night from 6:00
o'clock until the gale gradually died
away about l‘t200 p. in. .
"Shortly after 7:00 o‘clock. the.
feeder wires supplying the Second
district wit. purchased current.
burned down’along the Danbury
branch of the railroad in the rear
of the Mathew's property —- the
trouble apparently being caused by
a piece of limb being carried across
at this point by the high wind. This
plunged the Second. district into
darkness for upwards of one-half an
hour until connections could be made
to supply the Second district plant
from Coscoh supply, which was
available at Pine street station.
Switching equipment is in the pro-
cess of installation at the Pine street
station which will enable the Sec-
ond district to be quickly cut over
to the Coscoh supply in event of
any happening of this kind. but un-
fortunately the installation of the
equipment is not yet finished. “‘hen
the installation of the equipment is
completed. it will be possibly to
quickly switch the Second district
s‘pply from the New Canaan avenue
source of supply to the Coscob sup-
ply with a momentary interruption
to service. \l’ork is being pushed
to complete this as soon as possible
and to do away with any chance of
interruption of such duration as that
of last evening. which came at: a
very bad time for the South Nor-
walk Electric “'orks,, which was
left practically powerless until the
service was restored.
“The supply of current to West-
port was interrupted about 6:30 p.
m. and the \Vestport circuit was
carried down by trees and limbs on
the Post road near Dr. Vollmer's
“Villa Crest Sanitarium." Repairs
were made as rapidly as possible and
service restored.
“The men had barely returned
from this job when another bad
break in the same line, opposite the
“'estport: Country club. plunged
\Vsstport into darkness for a sec-
ond time. This break was a. very
difficult one to repair and took a.
considerable time to re-cstablish
serv.ice
‘ At 7: 49 o 'clock there was a one-
minute interruption to all the ser-
vice supplied from Coscob which in-
cludes the First district and East
Norwalk. due to trouble on the line
between here and Coscob. Fortu-
nately this interruption was of such
brief duration that it caused little
inconvenience. During the evenlnz
trees and wires were tangled up in
Rowayton. putting the lower end of
Rowayton out of business. There
were other cases of local tree trouble
in acme sections of West Norwalk and
New Canaan.

Trolley. fares. on all lines of the
Connecticut company will' be in-
creased to three Salt/ens for 25 cents
on February 1,0. This was learned
authoritatively today. although an-
nouncement of the change in rate
was withheld by the Connecticut
Company. and all officials refused to
comment on the situation.
The change in fare rate restores
trolley fares to the same basis op—
eratlve a year ago, when the Con-
necticut company, following ti .o ter-
mination of five cent fare tests in
Bridgeport and Norwalk. vo.untar-
ily reduCcd its rate to two fares for
15 cents. It was learned that the
Connecticut company, in a public
statement expected to be made later
this week. will justify the increased
fare on the ground that exrectations
of. "more general riding" oy reason
of the reduced fare, have not been
the company officials. it is indicated,
as the increased riding hoped for
has not been noticeable. but the fi-
nances of the company will again
become precarious unless steps are
taken to increase the operating re-
venue.
Officials of the company are re-
ported as in intatnlng that the ef-
ficiency of t e service has lately
reached a high point. and that; in
order. to maintain this service. a fare
increase was imperative. the alter-
native. being a. curtailment of setvicc
to a point where operating resume
and operating expenses would more
nearly balance.
The ' Connecticut company, in
making the revised rate effective. is
not required to go before the Pub-
lic Utilities commission unless com-
plaint is made “in the premises" by
persons who may be aggrieved by
the increase. At. the last heart-lg on
the trolley fare question in Bridge.
,rmrt. the commission overruled phase
tor a. live cent base fare, an! ap-
provod the plan for a. seven and a
half cent. rate. with full transfer
privileges.
Recently the Connecticut com-
pany announced in \Vaterbur) that
all cars on that division would be
operated as “one-man cars" as the
cars in Bridgeport have been oper-
ated for two years. ~"‘his was an-
nounced as an economy measure.
and the same expedient was also
planned for Hartford.
Figures to offer a. comparisrn o!
the riding under the seven and a
half cent rate with ‘he previous
rates have not yet become available.

Mr. Nash
“Observation has taught me that
most of the school population is
located on the hill. Thus. I have
reached the ‘concluslon that the 10-
goal site for the proposed new
school is on the hill. In fact, I am
very much in favor of the Falrfleld
avenue property.
“The growing district in the city
is on the hill. The people are moving
away from the center. Of course. I
will admit it will be a. little inconé
venient for the children from East
Norwalk to climb up the hill. Then,
on the other hand it is no more of a
hardship on them to climb the hill
than for the children who live up
there and who will be lowed to
climb it if the school is built else-
where. If the -growth of East Nor-
walk warrants it. I hope. eventually
to see a school over there also.
“But. at: the present: time. I adv0o
cate the erection of the new building
on a site where the 'schooipopuiav
.tion is located. That is why I am
ongly in favor of the Fail-field ave-
e property."
