CRIPPLED LOCAL SERVICE
 HAS BEEN RESTORED.
Telephone Go. Can Now Get to Work
 on Toll Line Repairs.

The 2,oo0 subscribers telephones that were thrown out of service a week ago by the sleet and wind storm that held Connecticut in its grasp for back in order by the employees of the Southern New England Telephone company: The repairs made last week were necessarily temporary as the idea of the company was to restore communication as quickly as possible, change manager,
 Now that the local phones are in working order, the field forces of the company were able to begin on Mon day the tremendous task of making permanent repairs to the toll plant of the state, 8 piece of work that will re- quire not less than eight weeks and possibly may stretch into twelve weeks. The rapidity with which the repairs are being made has been made possible by the more element wealth CT of the last few days. Although an army of 1900 men is at work, it is obvious that time will be required to restore the service to normal condi- tions as approximately 1,200 poles and more than 25,oGo miles of wire went down in three days under the ice, high winds and hundrdes of falling trees.
 The heaviest blow fell on the toll line system and so its effect must be felt all over the state for sometime to come and these unavoidabls conditions must exist until permanent repairs can be made.
 Even sections of the state where the damage was not apparent will feel the effect, but the service, however, will be infinitely better than 1t was during the big blow and will improve as the permanent work is rushed towards completion.
 Through the press, the company wishes to voice its appreciation of the patience and consideration of its pa- irons under the unavoidaby trying ser vice conditions brought on by the storm.
 The nearest line to Norwich that was completely paralyzed was a pole line leading out of Lebanon towards Colchester. The poles along here went down i'll a. row and gave the Norwich district repair men a place where their services were called for near home.

BELIEVES LAW SHOULD
 BRING IN REVENUE
Commissioner stadtmuelIer Think:
 This of Pure Food Law.

Dairy and Pure Food Commissioner Frank H. St2dtmueller is making ar engagements to vtsit Pennsylvania. next week for a few days and while in that state will make a study of the admin istratton of the pure food laws there. Commissioner Stadtmueller said that while the expenses of administering the law in Pennsylvania were heavy, as compared with those of Connec- ticut, there was a substantial income derived from it. In Connecticut the expenses of administering the pure food law amount to about S12,S50 a year and the only revenue Is the sum derived from the sale of printed mo- tices relating to the sale of limitations cf butter. about $50 year.
 Commissioner Stadtmueller thinks his department should be self sup porting, or. at least, that the state should derive a revenue from the operation of the law which would go a great way toward meeting the ex- penses of the department.
