New York. - Predicting renewed business prosperity for the United States ill what he said was his first optimistic statement in three years, Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel Company. returned here aboard the White Star liner Adri- attic from a seven days visit to Lon don.
 His hurried trip to Great Britain, made mysterious by persistent rumors that he was hastening to close con tracts for s100,000,000 with the British Government, he accounted for by say ing the contracts under which his firm is building Notifications for Chilli are being financed abroad.
 Stoo,ooo,ooo Contract Denied.
 The steel man denied the S100,000.- 900 contract rumors, and also that the Bethlehem Steel Company would build twenty submarines for Great Britain, but in almost the same breath he said significantly:
 "The real news I have is of such a character that cannot make it public at the present time ;
 Whether his news concerned busi- ness or the sinking of the British Auda cious. which was witnessed by the steamship Olympic, on which he was passenger. Schwab did not say. He declined to discuss the dread nought's disaster.
 Sees Return of Prosperity.
 We are near the turning point for a full return of confidence and pros perity in the United States said Schwab. We are being favored by the war as no other nation. l look for steady increase of business on a better and surer foundation. This country is very favorably affected by the present lamentable conditions in Europe.
 The United States will profit very materially. commercially. for the next ten years at least" he continr ed. when. if the shock of the conflict is ov,s, normal conditions of prosperity will be restored
 Legislation Favors Capital.
 Legislation in the United States has improved to such an exte.t that capital now has more confidence and business is being stimulated As far as We at Bethlehem are concerned we had been eurtailing our production, but now We are going ahead at full speed. It is not true that we are go- ing to raise more money, We have all the money we need.'

Report Shows Income May Be Raised $9i9 Annually and If Continued Ten Years Will Make

East Hartford The result of the inventory of the water plant, taken last summer, was reported to the board of commissioners Of the East Hartford Fire District The inventory Is the second taken since the plant was purchased from the East Hart ford Water Company in 1900, the first inventory being taken at that time The report shows that the revenue from the water takers will be in creased sSlS year, which shows that there were appliances of different kinds that were not on the books of the water department. The largest increase was in the center Of the town where it will amount to S345. In Burnside the amount added will be s200 and S150 in Glastonbury, while the balance, SIS, was found in the other sections of the water plant. The inventory was aken by Frederick A. iarwood and George K. Putnam, who completed the work within two months. The total cost Of the work and the supplies needed was $325. Much credit is due the members of the board who insisted upon the check up. as there was considerable oppo. sitiou to the work being started. as those opposed said the cost would be too great The increase found has proven that the revenue added to the water department will more than pay the cost of the new system that was established al the beginning of the present fiscal year and was made and perfected by the board as constituted last June. If, as has been the GUS. tom, another inventory is not taken during the next ten years, the gain in revenue will be s7,S65.
