 He told of the work of that body in- vestigating the city departments and of it's securing all available new and improved city charters with a view of getting at all the good points that ought to be incorporated into the new Norwich charter. He said that the present charter of Norwich was revised in 1876. Since then the city has entered upon municipal owner ship, and the condition of opera ting all departments has changed. He spoke of the gas and electric works as producing an annual income of sl60,000, and of the water plant in- come amounting to s70.000 annually. These two public utilities Mir. Cary thought not properly provided for un- der the present charter and that the functions of the officials directing them are not sufficiently covered by it and cited instances explanatory of his re-

CITY PRIMARY OCCURS TODAY
Four Candidates Are Running For
Three COunCilmanic Places. Cam
paign Has Been Quiet.

The primary for the nomination of
three members of the councilmanic
board will occur today, and the polls
will be opened and closed at the usu-
al hours for elections-seven o'clock
a. m. and p. m.
There are four candidates for the
voters to choose from-W. E. Hick-
ey, j. P. Perry, B. M. Davidson and
NJ. H. Harper-and there are 401
registered white voters. 1t is not at
all probable, howeve, that all of these
will go to the polls, as the campaign
has not excited a great deal of inter

thusiasm prevails.
The candidates nominated today
will be elected on the second We'd
nesday of December, and will succeed
Aldermen Davidson, Baldwin and
