FRENCH GOVERNMENT
IS ENDORSED BY BIG VOTE

Up to midnight there was no change in
the situation. If anything IL was in the
direction of a weakening of the strikers.
The general conviction is that If the
movement does not make vast strides
tomorrow, 1t is almost certain of complete
failure.
NJ. Barthou, the minister of public
works, posts and telegraphs. asserted
during the debate that only 1857 out of
24,2O5 postal employees in Paris. and the
department of the Seine are out and that
conditions in the provinces were even
better.
Premier Clemenceau, in a typically cpl
grammatc speech cooliy concluded the ex-
citing session with the declaration that it
was merely a case where France must
choose between revolution the one
hand and progressive evolution on the
other, or between work under republican
law and order, and spirit of adventure
calculated to disorganize and rend the
republic.

Mr.. Bailey asked Mr.. Aldrich whether
he would agree for time for vote on
the income tax.
Mr. Aldrich in reply asked Mr.. Bailey
whether he would extend agreement to
include a time for voting upon the tar1n
bill and its amendments.
Mr.. Bailey proposed a vote on the in
come tax amendment next Saturday and
a vote upon the tariff bill on June l. say
ing he would ask unanimous consent to
that agreement.

Mr.. Beveridge objected, saying that the
bill would be voted upon when the sena-

Mr.. Bailey, modifying his suggestion,
said that if Mr.. Alrdich would agree to

Saturday he would use his good offlces TO

added that the republican administration
had bankrupt treasury and they would
have either to sell bonds or to allow the
obligations to 60 by default
He said the trainers of both the House
and Senate tariff bills understood that.
He suggested that his amendment pro-
viding for $4,000, 900 of revenue would take
the burden of taxation from the consumer

SMYRNA CREAMERY TO ADD
AN EIGHT-TON ICE PLANT
NEW CONCERN WILL BE ABLE TO
SUPPLY STANDARDIZATION

Mild Winter Brings on an Unsettled
Condition Among Ice Manufacture
ing Concerns to Meet Demand
The Smyrna Creamery Company, H.
M. Smith manager, has made arrange
ment to install an eight ton ice plant
in connection with the Creamery.
The machinery is being shipped and
as soon as everything arrives, the
plant will be put in place and the
work of making ice begun. The an
nOuncement that Smyrna is to have
an ice plant is received with delight.
While the Creamery Company ice
plant is only an 8-ton concern, this
daily output is said to be sufficient to
supply Smyrna, Clayton and outlying
districts and will be a great cOnven-
fence to the public. The mild winter
weather, of the past season has caused
an ice famine in this vicinity. 1t is
understood that within a radius Of
many miles there has not been an
icehOuse filled. While there was cold
weather only thin skim of ice was
produced at any one time on our ponds
and with the hope of getting thicker
ice, the ice men delayed until it was
too late. The consequence is that
many who ordinarily fill their ice
houses with pond ice, will be Deepen
dent on the manufactured ice this
| season. The conditions which are
! similar throughout the country has
caused an unsettled state of affairs
with all ice companies and the larger
concerns are refusing to make any
defnit contracts for the season. Ice
has therefore advanced or will advance
considerably in price over previous
! seasons. With the unsettled condi-
tions generally, it is refreshing to
learn that Smyrna is to have a plant
here capable of supplying home con
sumption. The Smyrna Creamery
Company by taking in the room useC
as an Office, will be able to add thu
plant without the necessity of enlarg
ing the building and Manager Smitl
hopes in a short while to have tn,
plant installed and in operation. Tit
matter of handling the output has no
been definitely arranged, but it il
probable that the Smyrna Transporta
ton and Manufacturing COMPANY
which has operated a wagon route TO
several years, may continue by taking
the entire output of the new concern
Smyrna has been without an ice plan
since the factory at Smyrna Landing
was Destroyed by fire several years ago

MAY NuLLIFY GOOD ROADS BILL
Report That Kent Levy Court May MOI
Borrow Money Authorized.

Report That Kent Levy Court May Not
Borrow Money Authorized.
A conflict was begun in Demo-
cratic political circles last week
when it transpired that the Wolcott
men might prevent the issuance of
500. 600 of bonds for permanent good
roads in Kent county, as is authorized
by the Soper bill which passed the
Senate. The bill permits the Levy
Court to borrow and use the money,
but does not direct or make it imper-
alive that it should do so. The custo-
mary appropriations of $1,000 year
to each district that raises an equal
81. 600 will, however, continue. No
body seemed willing to say whether
the Soper bill would be used or ig-
nored, although Senator Anderson was
informed that there was great doubt
as to whether the Levy Court would
borrow and spend the money.
