The Little Willow people all came

Directors, at the home of Garry
Hurst, last Wednesday, March IL.
This was the first meeting whore
the people all were interested and
expressed themselves very freely. 1t
seems that the people are all of
one mind and that is to make every
effort possible to push the Irrigation
Dist. and get water this year if posi-
BILE. We firmly believe that the peo-
pie are in earnest Eow and that some-
thing will be done for if ever a peo-
pie were tired of this irrigation talk

Storm Signals to Tell
Summit Pupils When the
Schools Hold No Sessions
Especial to the Newark start

IepeciUt the newark SIar.I
SUMMIT, March "A meeting of
the Board of Education was held here
last night to discuss matters brought
on by the weather conditions. The
building and grounds committee of
the board was delegated to look into
the suggestion that a signal be in
stalled into the schoolhouse to be
sounded on days when school ses-
sions are either entirely abandoned
or held for only half a day. The
suggestion was made owing to pro-
test from parents whose children
made their way to school through the
storm yesterday only to find the
schoolhouse closed.
The entire board will make an in
spection on Saturday afternoon of the
old City Hall, which it has been sug-
gested, be altered to accommodate five
more classes of school children. There
is no overcrowding at the schools at
present, but the board is anxious to
provide for an emergency. 1t is esti-
mated that the alteration can be made
at a cost of $1,000. Part of the build
ing Is now occupied by the Board of
Health.
Announcement was made that 81 900
has been paid to the contractors for
work completed on the Drayton
school, now being built.
A communication has been received
from President James w. Cromwell,
of the board, who Is spending a short
vacation in Bermuda. Mr.. Cromwell
les the board to continue the night
school. The communication W.,
~ the president upon receipt of the
news that the board would discon-
tinue school at night, owing to lack
of attendance. President Cromwell
urges the board to abandon the idea,
as. he says, a great benefit is being
derived by those who attend it.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Soter-

an hour the city was without cleo

the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company had to stop running.
All the giant turbines that sup
ply the lighting and power current

Gas; Oil Lamps and Candies
Come Into Their Own Again
in Madison Households

MADISON, March 3.-On every
street in town, almost without ex
ception, the wires are down. and it
will probably be several days and
perhaps weeks before all the residents
will be again supplied with electric
light from the local power house. All
means Of communication by telephone
in nearly all parts of town has been
cut off, as the wires of the telephone
company are also down in many
places. Only those who have installed
gas or have their own lighting plants
were unruffied by the damage of the
storm. A continuous sig.It during the
night of the storm was to see children
running to what stores they could
find with kerosene oil cans. The old
oil lamps were returned to their places
in the brackets or on the sideboard,
and those who could got some little
solace from this form of illumination.
The snow being heavy and wet
stuck to the wires and made them sag
six feet in between poles before they
finally broke. Strained as they were
by the heavy weight of the snow, the
heavy wind easily snapped the wires.
All those who owned greenhouses
in Madison We're subjected to heavy
losses. James Murphey. of Gibbons
place, and John Mitchell, of Loantaka,
were busy during the storm trying to
save what plants they could after
parts of the houses had caved in from
the snow and wind Many trees were
stripped of their branches and others
were bowed to the ground with the
snow.
THE expense to the borough on ac-
count of the damage to the wires can
not be estimated. 1t is probable that
a great deal of time, labor and new
wire will be necessary to replace the
towns system. For several years
there has been much criticism con-
corning the poor wires. Two years
ago much expense was occasioned
when teamster was electrocuted by
a fallen wire, and many times since
residents were Inconvenience for
want of light on account also of fall
len wires The fact that the wires
were in such weakened condition
made them much more susceptible to
breakage. In many places. especially
in the outlying districts, nearly all of
the insulation had been worn off by
the elements. The fact that few
years ago large increase in voltage
was made in Madison is one of the
causes of so many breaks.
