RAINED ICE ALL DAY
Borough Residents Needed Shock Ab- sorbers, for Falls and for Resultant Bad Language.

Humanity with shock absorber att tachZnents might have fared better, in many instances, than was the case here Wednesday. As one little fel- low described the situation; '1t rained ice all day" At times and places it also rained humanity-not discrimi- hating, either. as to whether particu- lar specimens of humanity were proud or meek, but just sprngng them around kind of casual like on the glazed land gcape. Hence the advantage of shock absorbers, of which there might have been at least two kinds--one to lessen the compact of an irresistible fall against an immovable object, the oth- CT to ease off the force of some of the explosive language, of which there was a picturesque supply.
 In other words, it was exceedingly slippery about town MT. Heinz and his 57 varieties would have been shamed into oblivion after taking a peek at what was done to borough streets and sidewalks in an attempt to make it possible to walk upon them with some degree ofE safety. Red, green and blue dust destroyers, coal ashes, wood ashes. salt, coarse and fine. beef brine, twenty-six, more or less, kinds of sawdust, sand, gravel and a host of other things were seat tered about to ward off the nachina- tionS of the Ice King. But he con- tinued to claim his victims.
 The paved section of Main street was like a skating rink. A horse owned by the Quinebaug company fell at point near Union street. She compladently resisted all efforts to get her up, so as a last expedient a score of men and boys lifted her bod tly others slipped a skid under her and she was lifted clear of the ground. Even then she held her legs doubled under her. refusing to put them down until. after much persua- sion and many devices, she was in duced to do so. In the meantime she was some baby for those who were holding her up.
 While sllids were not required for the humans who fell. some of them had difficulty in getting to their feet and many of them got bumps that they won't forget for the remainder of the year.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-12-28

for discussion at next weeks meeting of the common council.
 Outside of the members of the city government, persons with whom the matter was discussed Wednesday were nearly a unit in admitting that it would be fine for a city to have a truck such as proposed, just as it would be fine to have two more or three more; but all were not agreed that the condition of the city's f. nances at the present time would warrant spending the price Of even one truck.
 In the interest of keeping city ex- penditures down, some voters hold that the purchase of another truck should be deferred for a tine
 Notwithstanding that cautious and prudent citizens point out that it would be wise for the city to limit it's expenditures as much as possible at this time, on account of the rather large debt. it is known that there is strong sentiment in the north part of the cty. where the truck would be located, in favor of its purchase, and that fact may prove to be the balance of power, as it were, in the final dis position of the truck matter.
