 There is but little change at the rolling mill, which was shut dswn Monday owing to a cut in wages. This week the boilers are being cleaned, the company taking ad- vantage of the shutdown. These boilers arc cleaned once in four months owing to the lime encrustations forming on the boiler shell. The water is now taken from thirty driven pipes. Formerly it was sup piled by the water company, but it was found to be cheaper for the company to secure supply of it's own. About twen- ty-five laborers were at work yesterday, but by the end of the week it is expected there will be no work for them. No change is anticipated until next week. At the new electric light plant near Gainesville bridge, two of the engines are running and furnishing power for all of the arc lights, some six hundred, includ- ing those at West Haven, Westville and Newhallville. As new lights are added, and the incandescent light system is ex- tended, it will require the power from the third engine. From the new plant the company will then be able to supply in- candescent lights from State street on the west to Ferry street on the east At pres ent there are none of these lights in that district, as it is too far from the George street factory. It is expected that many stores and few houses in Fair Haven will be supplied with incandescent lamps now that the company can furnish them.
