The New London city manager has al
ready investigated the salaries paid to
patrolmen in various Connecticut cities
and he finds that while New London
pay well, its monthly rate is nearly the
exact amount Of the average sum paid
in the cities from which reports were re-
ceived, the average pay Of the several
cities OF the state is $149 per month.
New London pay $3.50. Norwich pays
$50; Hartford s152.5o; New Haven,
Bridgeport and New Britain pay s165
Rockville $3.50; Waterbury s157.50 and
cities like Ansonia, Derby and q few
others pay less than $50.
But in proportion to population there
is but one city in Connecticut, that las
a larger number of policemen. That city
is New Haven, which has one cop tc
every 522 inhabitants. Based on a pop
ulation of $4,000 New London has one
to every $50 inhabitants. Other cities
| as to per capita based on figures furnish
ed the city manager are Hartford,

SETS IN HOMES ACETATE
INSURANCE COMPANIES
Rating Associations Look to
Fire Hazards.

Increased fire hazards from radio re-
ceiving and transmission sets in apart
ments and private dwellings are re-
ceivlng the attention OF insurance men
throughout the country. A committee
Of fifteen fire insurance rating associa-
tions covering large section, including
the middle Atlantic and New England
States, IL working on the problem.
Tho only local action 80 far In Now
York city is the announcement by the
electrical committee OF the Board or
Fire Underwriters that all wireless In
stallations having outside exposed neri-
ais or having connection with light
or power circuit must be inspected and
approved by the board and a certificate
issued, IL the owner desires to avoid
trouble in collecting insurance money.
There prevails at present some doubt
on the legal status OF the wireless In
its relation with the fire insurance pol
ICY. Some insurance men believe that
the use Of a radio set Is most unlikely
Ia increase the possibility OF fire, espe-
ciallv IL the proper precautions ar
taken.
During lightning storms md also
when not IN use the wire from the
antenna should be connected direct with
the wire to the ground. The ground
wire should be kept outside the build
ing as nuclr- as possible.
