SAVES LIGHT PLANT FROM SHUTDOWN

{. gas and electric, plant may be relieved if the barge arrives, as 1t is probable that part of the coal received will go to this plant. Mr. Isbister stated that there were three other barges on their way to this city, two in the sound somewhere between New Haven and Ntw London and the other between New London and Delaware. When these will arrive Is uncertain and de- spends largely on the amount, of ice encountered in the sound.
 Local dealers state that they have been unable to get any great amount of soft coal, although few carloads have been received at intervals. during the past two weeks. The supply of anthracite coal Is, however, holding out well and no serious shortage Is expected.
 The Thames River Specialties com pany at Montville went on to a re- duced schedule several days ago owing to their inability to get suficient snrnly of soft coal to run their plant 10 capacity. They do not. however anticipate an absolute shutdown. as fl I is possible to get enough fuel 10 run l on the reduced time.
 The United States Finishing com l palY several weeks. ago was forced to siut down several of their depart- ] nents, but; their supply of fuel has
 beer replenished recently by the re. l ceirt or consignment of coal. A

But for the opportune arrival or three cars of bituminous coal at the Norwich gas and electric plant on Tuesday afternoon, local manufactur- CTS who depend on electric power for the operation of their plants would have been forced to Shut down today Wednesday,, as the coal arrived just about as the last shovelfulsof the sup ply at the plant was, being thrown to the fires beneath the boilers.
 The local plant has been getting a supply of coal from various sources and at the end of last week It was seen that a shutdown would be neces- Sary unless coal was secured within 6 short time. The three carloads re- ceived on, Tuesday have temporarily relieved the situation, but as the plant consumes practically a car of coal a day the supply on hand will only hold out until the last of the week. Unless the department,is able to procure coal before that time 1t Is practically a certainty that Norwich will be without electric power
 Although the Chamber of. Commerce had the channel of the Thames river opened to Allyn's Point short time ago. no barges have been unlcaded at that point since and the river is now frozen over from the navy yard to the
 point with ice heavy enouCfl for per

And just the other night.

And there was a new man.

That he couldn't stand.

And here I am.
