THE COMMON COUNCIL

News came the other day that there
 the upper stories of which was occu-
 pied by a concern which made use of
 chemicals. When water was thrown on
 the chemicals by the fire company it
 percoated through, dropping to the
 flood below and contaminating food
 kept there by it's poison. Inspectors
 discovered the situation just in time
 to prevent the food from being sold
 and eaten, thus averting a possible tragedy.
 Last night at the session of the
 common council the chairman of the salary committee read the committed S
 report which stated that it had been
 discovered that the names of some of
 the city employees were not on the list
 Submitted to the committee" and that some of the employees had not re-
 ceived increases in pay at the time
 others had been so benefited The com
 mittee, therefore, asked more
 time in which to consider this new phase as the proposed ten per cent cut upon which the commit tee had agreed after making certain ladjustments might not be equitable. The time was granted, with some feel ing of relief it is believed. Thus an- other mild tragedy was averted When attention was called yesterday to the lack of information concerning the water situation there was no in- timation that the facts might not be obtained upon request from the water board by any voter. The point made was that when an opportunity arose Ito make the facts public, as the chance came at meeting of the council some weeks ago, that opportunity should be seized and facts given in response to perfectly proper questions of mem- bers of the council. It was not done at that time by the water board and there arose some question concerning the advisability of selling water if we did not have the assurance that there was plenty for this city, or if the amount of water to be sold was to be disposed of under any circum- stances regardless of the water situa- ton here and regardless of the quanti- ty so to be disposed of.
 Last evening the mayor gave the pertinent facts to the evident satisfac- ton of the council. New Britain, he said, uses about 6,000,000 gallons of water daily; arrangements are being made to increase the supply by from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 gallons. This work will be finished by the time other communities have laid their pipes and are ready to take our water. The amount to be disposed of is surplus water" according to the terms of the contract, read, and is but 100000 gal Ions daily, making it seem proper to make the proposed arrangement to the benefit of all concerned
 These facts place quite different light on the matter, and had they been known more generally would have | made the water situation better un- derstood, preventing many of the questions that have arisen from dis tressed conscientious investigators of the city affairs.
 The report of the transportation iiscloses a logical desire to follow up he direct appeal made to the Cover nor by petition to the utilities com- mission for six cent fare on the hort lines all of which are less than | mile and a half in length

COX AND DRY LAW
Massachusetts Governor Says He Had No Liquor and Saw None at Quincy House Dinner.

NO Liquor anu od" -soi'S ~. s'
 House Dinner.
 Boston. Jan. 19.-The seizure of liouor in raid at the Quincy House recently at a time when Governor Cox was dinner guest there, and the Governors subsequent declaration in his inaugural message for strength ening the states legislature support of the Volstead act, are coupled In correspondence between the Governor and The Christian Register made pup lie by the latter yesterday.
 Replying to suggestion that he in form the people of the facts regarding the dinner in his honor and of his at titude toward the prohibition law the Governor wrote in part:
 T cannot believe that any of my friends Intentionally violated the law and as for. myself l did not know of the presence of liquor, saw none of 1t, had none of it, and knew nothing about it. There was none served in the dining room and I am confident most of the guests knew nothing of it any more than l.
 "Whether one favored or opposed national prohibition, that is now the law of the land and it should be re- spected and obeyed. The prohibition law has been honored altogether too much in breach rather than in the observance. Federal officials have represented themselves as powerless to enforce it and I have recommend ed that the Massachusetts law be made to conform to that of the Unit cd States in this respect so that local officers might aid in the enforcement. A good citizen will keep the prohi- bition law without dissimulation."
