Alsop, F. D. Cheney George M.| Landers and Herbert Knox Smith to draw up q resolution pro- changes throughout the state under the auspices of the council The reso- Iution will be presented at the next meeting of the council.

NEW LoNDoN's WHITE
 WAY Is DfMNED
Power Co. Shuts Of Display Signs
 and Street Lamps.

New London turned backward to- ward the dark ages Thursday night when for the first time the observance as to reduce street lighting began.
 Years ago the police depart naeut had as one of his duties the job of starting out with torch or a Box Of matches, and lighting the oil lamps from way down Pequot way up as far as the courthouse. and then, when the moon came up bright they had to go around agail and blow them out. It win be m easier job to turn on and burr out the lights in, these days of electric lights. but the glim- mer will be glummer than has been in evidence along the white way"
 There are about 50 ornamental SUD- ports for the lights along State street, each one holdings a cluster of four large lamps. This means 200 lamps that have been used in brilliantly il- 1uminating this street. Last night two lamps to pole were lighted, thus eff fecting a saving of t,is. power for 100 lamps. Many other large lamps in stores and smaller ones on display signs were cut off and while the lights afforded sufficient glow for. safety, the effect was noticeable!
 The Connecticut Light and Power Co. is taking action without any spe- cial orders from any source, but man ifests it's willingness to help along in the general scheme of. conservation.

FUEL. COMMITTEE ISSUES
 NO ORDERS SATURDAY
Local Coal Dealers. Do Not Deliver Saturday Afterneon-May Establish Card Systene

The local fuel committee on Thurs day were busy issuing orders for coal to those who are entirely out of fuel. A large number were issued and re- ceived prompt attention by the local dealers. --..--,---..
 The committee will issue no orders for coal on Saturday as the local coal dealers do not deliver on that after noon.
 One dealer has received one carload of coal and 10 per cent. of this load is to be set aside for the use of the fuel committee and will be drawn upon by order
 If the present fuel situation holds through the winter and people who have coal in their cellars try to get more it is proposed to adopt the card system whereby no one will be sold coal unless he has his card which is issued by the fuel committee. This means is to be adopted only to pre- vent those people who are hoarding the coal from getting larger supplies.
 Several reports have been sent in to the fuel committee, stating cases where people have ordered coal, say ing that they were in need and when the coal was delivered it was found that they had coal in their bins. These cases reported are looked into and black1isted. It is these people who make it necessary for the introduc- ton of a card system such as is used in Europe.

saIoonkeepers. Lose Licenses.

County Commissioner Charles H. Smith of Noanlz stated yesterday that the commissioners have decided after hearing the evidence produced by wit nesses- for the rernonstrants in the cases of Joseph Hoffs and Philip Houtz, saloon keepers, of this city, that they will deny their applications for, a renewal of license.
 Tn the case of Frank Danesi the commissioners will also refuse him a renewal of license. although his case was not Heard before them Stuff cient information had come to. their attention which has convinced them of the, sundesirability of granting Danesi @ license and his saloon gill likewise have to go out of business
 This means that three saloons are permanently closed According to the state law no one else can obtain li- censes for these places as the mum Der of saloons is~ limited by popuIa- ton and when a license becomes for feited no new license can be granted except in case there were fewer saloons than the law would permit. In the case of New London the ratio of saloons to population is still far in excess of the prescribed number
