The annual city budget of New Lon don this year totals $1,1sO.e15, according to the recommendation of the city coun- ci!.
 This is subject to further revision fol lowing public hearings.
 The above total >Jes not include the anticipated cost of several so-called capi- tai expenditures. including the Crystal avenue bridge the Broad street pave ment and MoheTsn avenue concreting all, of which will approximate s1o0.o0 and which in the, opinion of the city manager and. the city council should not be paid for from current income of the l city, but should be financed through thu l issuance of serial bonds running for z time not to exceed the life of the i'm | provements, or not to exceed Is or 2l years.

NAMES HOLT AGAIN FOR
 DAIRY AND FOOD CnMN


 Dairy and Food Commissioner Thomas Holt was reappointed Monday by Govern or Lake for a term of four years from May l. Announcement to. this effect put a. rest discussion of a possible consolidation of the duties of this office with those of the commissioner of domestic anllnals
 tentative plan under consideration was to a!-Doint CoAnmissianer Of Domestic Animals James NJ. Whittiesey also as dairy and food commissioner. but without additional salary. to be assisted by a, dep- uty in charge of the dairy and food di- vision. His present salary is S2,500 a year, the same ais that fixed 1y statu.e for the dairy cofngnissioner. The governor doubts that such consolidation of offices could be properly accomplished without the sanction of the legislature.
 It is likely that the governor will re- conMnend to the next session of the ieg islaturey the distribution among three diff ferent state daDtrtments of certain duties now performed by the dairy and food com missioner. The plan would be to but dairy inspecitions under the commissioner of domestic animals, food ins9ections Tn- der the state health depar tmeGlt and drug inspections under the state pharmacy com mission. Such changes could be made 
 MT. Holt has been dairy and food com missioner little more/than four years. succeeding CoTnni ssioner Frank H. Stadt- me1ller at the Fatter's death. Jan. 2l, 1918 Previously, by appointment of Contmis- sioner Stadtanueller, Mr. Holt had servee four years as deputy commissioner. Commissioner Holt is a native of Eng land. born in Lancashire Ian. 2t, 1883. At 1 the age of 1s he migrated to America, set ting cn q wheat farm in what is now South Dakota. Four years later he took a place on a Tennessee farm, wfers he re- mained a year. boom at Fort Payne Ala then attracted him to that rlaca where he entered the milk business and kept a herd of S5 cows. From there he went to Worcester. N. Y, after four years i where he ran 8 large farm for about z. year before buyinr farm in Southing- | ton. this state, in 1895.

SUES NEW HAVEN ROAD
 FOR FALL IN LYME

Meriden man, Henry A. Maydelb brings peculiar suit in the New Hav en superior court against the New Haven road for 5000 damages.
 Maydell alleges that last February while he was at Lyme, he fell down in a cellar hole, or man trap and was so badly injured that he will be dis abled for life and unable to work at his trade, that of printer.
 In the suit it is alleged that the railroad has a station at Lyme which is supposed to be kept for the public in a reasonably safe condition and that the railroad failed in it's duty and by means of its negligence and default the plaintiff was injured.
 Maydell says that while he was ex- ercising due care he fell through an open door that was left unguarded and down into this trap. The rail- road knew the trap existed there and knowingly allowed it to remain.
 The plaintiff alleges that beside his bodily injuries a suit of clothes he had on was spoiled.

As railroads are to go on day light saving schedule on April 90. the last Sunday in this month, the same out of joint condiJdn will prevail this year unless the community ad- justs it's time to general conditions in the state and New England.
 AS far as the city government is concerned Mayor H. M. Lerou is to follow the same policy he did last year in having no action taken by the city government in view of the act of the legislature that forbade munic- ipalfties to take official action to change their time.
 Discussion of the proposed new and revised city charter upon which the citizens will vote in June is to take place at the monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in Odd Fellows hall Friday evening. The meeting is to begin with a supper at 6:15 and is to be concluded by 8 o'clock in time to allow members to keep other en- agreements.

Contrary to the published report that the Chamber of Commerce was to hold a mass meeting to discuss the subject of daylight saving for Nor wich, Secretary J. J. ORourke of the Chamber stated Tuesday evening that no mass meeting was to be held but the Chamber was to hold a conference of the manufacturers, merchants, cler gymen and school board Thursday eve ming to discuss what action seems ad- visible to be taken here.
 In arranging for such a conference the Chamber of Commerce is acting merely as a medium through which a decision may be reached to take some Sort of concerted action on the subject From all that has been learn ed 1t is apparent that there is a strong sentiment in Norwich in favor of day light saving, but there is some oppo- sition as well. Last year Norwich was one of the few cities in the state that was out of joint with the railroad time and the time prevailing generally in all the large cities of the state, be- cause this city decided not to make

Healthful Kentucky

Kentucky was healthier last
year than the average of the rhir.
ty-eight states included in the
registration area of the United
States Bureau, it is shown by a
report of the Bureau made pub
lie here today by the State Board
of Health which gives Ken
tuck's death rate for the year as
10 ) while the average for the
thirty. eight states was ii 3, a
difference of s in Kentucky's
favor.
In comparison with the states
adjoining it, Kentucky also
makes a good showing, only one
neighboring state having a death
rate lower than Kentucky's, Cne
other having the same rate, and
all others having a. rate higher
than this CommOnw ealth's.
OF these states Missouri, with
a death rate of 03, made the
best showing. Kentucky and
Ohio, with rates of 10 D, came
next Then. IN order, came In.
diana. with a death rate of 1917;
West Virginia, 10 8; Tennessee,
IL |, and Virginia, l27. West
Virginia is not yet in the regis
trstlon area of the United States
Census Bureau, and the figure
gwen for that state ID ITS own.
The reduction in Kentucky,
death rate from ll.S tn 1915, on
] 2. is under the average reduc
tion of l5 effected by the thir-
ty.eight states of the registration
area, the report also shows.

Where is Clay City's Gas!

Clay City could now be enjoy
ing the comforts and profits Of
natural gas If the people OF this
town had have shown the prop.
er spirit of progress. Millions of
feet of tins valuable business
builder is confined only two
miles from our town while we
are sleeping. Thousands of dol.
lars will be spent for coal this
winter to keep us warm while
hundreds of dollars spent TO get
natural gas would do the same
thing. Investing IN natural gas,
is helping your neighbors ana
friends, and your pooketbook.
Investing in coal is helping the
freight carriers and the coal op.
orators and miners, that may
Justly be termed disrupters of
the country. The best way to
get the gas here seems to be to
organize a stock company of
home people. Let the users of
the gas be the stockholders OF
the gas company. While the
Times has all along been opposed
to promoting stock companies
not acquainted to us. We are for
all home companies organized by
honest men for worthy pur.
pose We are IN heart and hand
TO get the natural gas, lying at
our door, piped into our homes
and business establishments.
