1876 COMPANIES REPORT
TO UTILITIES COMPANY
This State Board Has an unexpended
Balance of $4,000

The public utilities commission is
receiving the reports for the fiscal
year ending this month from the
public service corporations Of the
state. The number Of companies
which will make reports to the COM
mission is 196. They include steam
and trolley railroad companies. gas,
electric, telegraph, telephone. and
water companies, etc. The increase
in the number of companies which
come under state supervision will be
that before the passage OF the law
Of 1911, when the old railroad COM
mission was in existencs. the number
that reported was seven steam and
thirteen trolley companies. The Il
hce force than was a secretary and
assistant. The clerical force OF the
public utilities commission is nine.
The commission expects to turn
into the state treasury an unexpend-
ed balance of $4,000 from the ap-
preparation which was made at the
session OF 1913 for expense for the
succeeding two years. This appro-
priation was 100000, the same as
was voted at the session Of 1911 of
which $4,000 was turned into the
treasury.
When the first appropriation was
made, in 1911, there was no way of
determining the amount Of money
which the commission would require
for expenses for the following two
years. The late Senator Stiles Jud-
son, who was the republican leader
of the senate, urged the voting of a
generous appropriation" and the
general assembly took his advice and
voted 100000, or $4,000 more than
the commission needed. At the last
session the appropriation for ex-
penses amounted for the coming
two years, to $4,000, which was the
amount Of the previous appropriation
minus the unexpended balance turned
into the treasury.
1t is the determination Of the
commission to keep its expenses
within this amount although there
is the fear that IL may be difficult
to do so. Chairman Richard T. Hig-
gins, of the commission. feels that
it is the duty of the commission to
keep the expenses within the limits
prescribed by the appropriation, and
his colleagues are in cordial SYM
pathy with his view. The commits
sion does not like to be in the posi-
ton of having to go before the legts-
lature of 1917 to make up deficiency

BRIEFS FILED IN
VoLUNToWN DIVORCE SUIT
BY Attorneys for Plaintiff In George
Va. Alice Maeomber,

In the divorce suit brought by George
w. Macomber OF Voluntown against
Alice NJ. Macomber. in which divorce
Is asked by the house on the grounds
OF deseruon. briefs were fled on
Thursday by Shields & Shields, attor-
neys for the plaintiff.
The case was heard IN the last term
OF the superior court here and after
the evidence had been presented coun-
sci were directed to file briefs. The
contention is that although the couple
lived in the same house since their
marriage about five years ago. the wife
neglected and refused to perform the
wifely duties expected under the mar
riage contract. He contributed to her
support for the period while she was at
his house, but much OF the time he was
compelled to get his own meals, and
she finally packed up her belongings
and left him. telling him that she
hoped he would marry someone who
would be a good wife to him, as she
never could.
