WANT SHELTER AT
TROLLEY TERMINAL
Effort May BE Made at Next Council
Meeting to Rcsurrect Old
Petition.

1t is very probable that at the next
meeting of the common council q
strong effort will be made to have al
appropriation for the erection of q
trolley waiting station included in the
appropriations for the ensuing fiscal
year. For years there has been agi-
tation in this city for the erection OF
a waiting station at Central park.
This is the central point of trolley
service in the city and all the trail
leys start from this point For years
there has been nothing done, and un-
less, fortunately, there have been
some stores open near Central park
the patrons have had to stand around
in all kinds of weather waiting for
their car. The proposition has been
discussed several times and has been
taken up with the Connecticut COM
pany by the city. The city wanted the
trolley company to pay a small rental
for the use of such "A building If 1t
were erected. 1T is understood that
plans for such an Improvement have
been made. The subject is also agi-
tated now, iaasmuch as a petition has
been received by the common council
asking that the trolley station located
on Main street be removed from its
i've language used around it. The
argument is advanced that the lO@a-
ton for the car starter would prop
erlv be in q waiting station erected at
Central park.

l.. F. & G.. READY
TO DEVELOP PLANT
Making Preparations For Using Water
Power At Meriden Factory
Near Hanover Park

Meriden, Dec. 27.-In the interests
Of the Meriden Cutlery company, now
owned by Landcrs, Frary & Clark, a
force of engineers has ben surveying
and making plans around Hanover
pond Tor the purpose of creating
greater water power for the factory.
The estimates and recommendations
of the engineers have not been COM
pleted and 1T may be some time be-
fore real work on the proposition is
commenced.
The owners of the factory have
f1owage rights that will enable them
to raise the dam of the pond and thus
create more water power and it is
probable that this is What will be
done. Facilities for increasing the
power are not distant and the advan-
tage is so great that it is likely the
work will not be delayed
1t will be rem EN- bered that during
the fuel shortage the cutlery was not
ham pered, while other plants were,
due to its remarkable water power
system. 1t is acknowledged to be
one of the finest in this vicinity and
the Landers, Frary & Clark company
apparently plan to exercise the
great advantage offered by nature.

BRAVE HINDENBURG
ONLY FOURFLUSHER
With Kaiser, Kept Safe From
Shells in Underground Cavern

Spa, Belgium, Dec. 16 (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press y
The former headquarters of the kais-
er and his general staff is disclosing
some extraordinary queer facts these
days about the men Who engineered
the world war. Take for one, Hin
denburg, Germany's superman,
around whom reams of poetry have
been written disclosing him as a fear
less Napoleon leading his troops to
victory. AS matter of fact, he spent
a great deal of time in a wonderfully
constructed "funkhole'' Or dugout I'M
derneath the grounds of his villa
here.
How the Mighty Have Fallen.
Spa, it may be noted, is almost OF
the German border and far from
where battle lines used to be that 1t
was almost a days journey in a fast
motor car to get within sound of the
big guns. The kaiser, too, had a
similar hiding place at Neubois, near
a comic opera trench system about
which he is said to have paraded for
the benefit of motion pictures. At
each of their villas there were deli
cate electrical instruments which
would set up furious buzzing when
ever an airplane approached. AT the
denburg and the kaiser used to run to
shelter, it is reported. People who
worked about Hinbenburg's establish
ment said he was continually running
for cover.
Americas representatives on the
international armistice commission
are now occupying Hinden-
burg's headquarters and they
were amazed when they discovered
this underground refuge of the great
warrior" The entrance was through
the dining room. From there flight
of steps led down to a tiled ante
room, which now serves as very
good pantry for the Americans.
Retreat safely Locked.
From the tiled room another flight
of steps led down to the real dugout.
This was blocked by a huge iron door
about one inch thick which could be
locked from the inside only. Within
1t was fastened by a double bolt which
would do credit to an American bank
ing establishment
The dugout itself was luXuriousiy
equipped. On the floor was a heavy
lowered carpet, and a Louis XIV ia
bic and chairs added to the artistic
arrangement. The walls, which were
