THE LIGHTING POWER
 RESOLUTION

New Britain, Conn
 Jan. 31st, 1922. Editor New Britain Herald,
 Dear Sir:
 At the meeting of the Common Council held January 18th, 1922, the following resolution was adopted or motion of Alderman Paonessa:
 Resolved, That whereas at meeting of the Common Council held on the goth day of July, 1921, a resolution was adopted requesting His Honor the Mayor and the Corporation Counsel, to take up with the New Britain Gas Light Co.,, and the .Connecti- cut Lighting and Power Com pany the question of the reduc- tion of rates for gas and electric service, since that time the Gas Company has made a reduction, but as yet no reduction has been made by the Lighting and Power Co.,, of it's rates for lighting serN- ice, it would appear that the said company should consider and make a lower price for lighting !, service, therefore be it
 Resolved: That His Honor he requested to appoint a committee of three to confer with the said Conn. Lighting and Power Co.,, with the view of obtaining a re- duction in their rates for electric service.
 On the adoption Of the resolution Mayor Curtis stated in emphatic lam guage that a reduction was out or the question at this time, adding that New Britain was enjoying the lowest rate in Connecticut. Alderman Paonessa invited the Mayors attention 10 the low rate enjoyed by the city of Hart ford, comparing the difference be tween the exorbitant fixed charges imposed on New Britain with the reasonable Standard charge in Hart ford. Alderman Paonessa further asked His Honor to place him on the committee to confer, expressing his confidence that the time for gen eral reduction all along the line was on hand, and that if the company of ficials and the Public Utilities Com mission proved obdurate, an appeal to the superior court would .nstify his stand.
 On the heels of Mayor Curtis dec laration that reduction at this time was impossible the Lighting com pany has announced vague reduc- ton for business houses, exempting domestic dwellings from the reduc-

CLEBURNE 10 WORK
 CONWAY ROAD NOW MlSINGlLL GETS BUSY
To Utilize Damascus Road in Opening Great Trade Artery North
 Work Begins Now.

Finding that Searcy and White county have not made good in the con- structol of passable road connecting Searcy and Heber Springs, County Judge E. Masingill of Cleburne cour- ty will at once start work on the road in his county leading from Heber Springs to Quitman, connecting with the Conway and Damascus highway there and leading to Conway Judge Masingill notified County Judge E. L. Smith today that one tractor was loaned his road crew by the state highway department and that it will be sent overland from Little Rock to concerned a1out keeping the road open road in that county will be started immediately.
 Judge Smih stated that Judge Masingill intends his road to connect with the Damascus highway and not the Nilonia road, as stated in yes terday's Gazette dispatch republished in the Log Cabin Democrat. The Damascus road is more direct and better, Judge Smith said, and will pull world of trade toward Conway. To use this route to best advantage, Judge Smith advises travellers for the present to leave the Damascus road at Wooster and take the Greenbrier road to Guy, going from Guy to Quit man and thence to Heber Springs. Judge Smith had this dirt road thor oughly worked last summer, and it is now in splendid condition.
 Searcy has not made good the promises extended last summer when the M. X N. A., suspended, Judge Masingill said. Mail service is being maintained between Searcy and Hebel. Springs with the greatest of difficulty, and at one place, the mail car is pulled through by Fordson tractor. Judge Masingill thinks that when his section of the road is worked, the mail can be moved in light car. The post office department will then be asked to route mail for that section through Conway and not Searcy, it was said.
 Judge Masingill means business, Judge Smith said, and is very much Quitman via Conway. Work on the through his county. The service ar present is not satisfactory and is prov ing irksome to all citizens, especially business men, whose freight is being hauled under the handicap of bad roads. The judge also wants im- mediate action and his move to secure tractors at Little Rock indicates that his work will be done Tn a hurry. He requested two tractors, but the state highway department was unable to furnish only one at this time.
