 CHIMNEY COMPLETED

The brick smokestack of the. new power plant of the Warner Brothers Company is nearing completion, as is the power plant. The contract calls for completion on Sept. 1. It is the third highest stack in the city, be- ing exceeded only by that at the West end plant of the Crane Brothers, which is 25 feet higher and that at the Connecticut Co.,, power plant on Seaview avenue, which is said to be 40 feet higher. The new stack tow CTS 150- feet in the air, its base being octagonal in shape. At the base the chimney is 29 and half feet in di- ameter but narrows until it only 6 and a half feet in diameter at the top. The material used in constructing the chimney Is what is known as hollow radial brick, the walls being 30 inches at the bottom and 20 inches at the top. It is estimated that there are 680, 900 bricks in the stack. It rests upon foundations 55 feet in depth on a solid gravel soil. The actual work of building this stack was not start ed until August since which time it has progressed at the rate of about 10 feet a day. The stack is designed to receive all the gases from three batteries of two boilers each represent ing in all ,500 horse power. Ut has been built by the w. w. Kellogg Co. of New York from the plans of Dodge & Day.

CITY WILL NOT PAY CLAIM OF
 MRS. PETRUCELLI
Claims Committee Decides that She Should Seek Re dress of Connecticut Co., Other Claimants.

The Council committee on claims sat up and spruced itself last evening when Mrs. Louise Petruceln appeared in person to testify in connection with her claim for damages which she has which she received by a fall at Main and Wall streets, March 29,19o9. Mrs. Petrucelli is the wife of Attorney Pe- trucelli, and daughter of the Italian consul of New Haven. She is a beauty of the pure Italian type and was most becomingly gowned. It was her knee that was injured when she fell. The tissues were torn, she said. very handsome dress was destroyed. The skin of the knee was not broken, the plaintiff testified, but it was bruised. The gown she had worn but once. She had suffered pain because of her hurt knee, she said, and men tai anguish because of the destruction of the beautiful dress. She was re- presented by Attorney Greenstein. She was given permission to withdraw her petition. This was not in derogation of her claim. but upon the ground that it should have been made against the Connecticut company. because she fell upon a portion of the street which the company is bound to- keep in order. She asks for $100.
 The petition of Mabel Surdarn, ask ing damages of $500, was heard. Sev- en and one half feet were taken from North Main street was widened re- gently.
 The committee will probably report upon the petitions of Joseph McDer- mott and of T. F. McMurray for the return of money paid by them to the county commissioners for license fees. The former claims $11o and the latter $500,

COTTAGES ROBBED
Seven Woodmont Young Men lose $45, But Valua- ble Gold Watch Over looked.

A number of burglaries which are puzzling the Woodmont authorities occurred yesterday at two of the summer cottages at Woodmont, and the robberies are considered as the boldest in years in the borough. While the occupants of .eKay Ess'' and Sound View cottages were out some one forced an entrance into the places and quite a sum of money was talk en- The summer residents who have lost money and the amounts taken are as follows: Ralph Fogarty, $13 and a card case; George Hill SIP; c. O. D. Anderson $5; Eward Smith $6; James J. F'innegan s3; Charles M. Harrason, g, and Pop Robertson A. For some reason the party mak- ing the collection overlooked gold watch in MT. Finnegan's clothes, which he values at SIS.
 The person entering the cottages is thought to be a resident of the bor- ough. as it is evident that the burglar was acquainted with the places. The Woodmont authorities are quietly working on the cases.

 A hundred feet or more of live wire raised high jinlks in Stratford avenue at the foot of Hough avenue early last evening.
