 Better Lamps Installed.
 The Connecticut company has sub- stituted incandescents of twenty can dle power for the sixteen candle pow CT bulbs which it installed on Whiting street after the old contract for street lighting had expired. Under court order the company is forced is furnish sixteen candle power lamps. The new lights do not give satisfaction how ever, and it is not likely that -ne concession" will keep the town fir Jn appealing to the public utilities com mission for better service.
 The selectmen have not deciCed what course they will pursue regar(< 1 ing the action of the company but l with other citizens they believe tie l matter will eventually have to be talk l en to the utilities board to ascerta in l what interpretation should be made of l the order issued by the court when the i company was given the right t0 extend it's line to Southington.

Mcconnell of w terbury. The police in question was { owned by Coughlin.
 Only a partial distribution of tn eccentric old mans wealth has been made and it is understood the heirs are anxious to have the remainder 1 given to them and the estate settled. There is a dispute over the status of | the appeal of Charles F. Conlon from l the action of the probate court of 1 Bristol in approving of the admiris- | trator paying certain claims presented 1 by MT. and Mrs. William Coughlin.

Pierce has asked oc, have the case re-opened but the aL- ministrator has refused and the lawyer now threatens to make his request to the court.
