BETTER FLAG SERVICE JAN. I
 AT EIGHTH ST. CROSSING

Some time ago hearing was held in this city by the Public Utilities Com mission to do away with the dangerous railroad crossing at Eighth street. Greeneviile and order the erection of an overhead bridge at this crossing.
 C., c. Elwell of the public utilities commission heard the evidence from the petitioners and from representatives of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and after the hearing announced that the railroad had agreed to. give better protection at the cross ing, this having met the approval of the approval of the petitioners.
 On Thursday a letter was received from MT. Elwell by one of the petitioners stating that action had been taken on the petition and more protection would be given after January 1.
 The communication from MT. Elwell read as follows: Beginning January 1, 1922, the grade crossing at Eighth street Norwich, there will be a fagman on duty from a. m. until II D. m. daily and on Sunday. This is in accordance with our understanding at the hearing held in Norwich, December 19, 1922.
 The petitioners feel that their action has at least made it possible to better protect the public using this grade cross- ing and although the hopes of the peti- tioners for an overhead bridge had not been realized, there is great satisfac- ton that much of the danger at this crossing had been done away with by the commission. It is, the hope of the peti- tioners, however. that the day will soon come when this crossing, by far the most dangerous in this section, will be done away with, and an overhead bridge con- structed that will absolutely do away with any possible accidents at Eighth street

MAY CUT NUMBER OF
COUNTY cOanrrapNhEs


 As the time, for the opening of the 1s23 session of the general assembly, approaches there Is considerable discus- sion of the topic of amending the jaw relating to county cornmissioners with the view of reducing the number of commissioners for each county and theruby save the state the amount which is paid for salaries that are hot earned. In circles where every man and, now, every woman may look for ward, says the Hartford Times, to the time when he of she will have a chance of being elected Nto a board there is the fear that the legislature will recognize the economical necessity of reforming the eight boards of commissioners in the state and that the reform will take | the shape of plan to reduce the num- Der Of commissioners in each county from three to one. As an Alternative 1t has been suggested that there should be one selaried commissioner and two asso= ciate eommissioners who would ba paid for the actual time spent in the service of the county with, however, q limit placed Oh the amount which each asso- ciate commissioner could earn. TSe amount saved might not excc(d Siz,0OO q year. But it would be in the line of economy and where there IS econ6rly Ia small things there will be a s1sst antial saving in the total. It is not in the large amounts that the steStest leak, ages occur, but in the small sums. Sing. " the small expenditures do hot seem to be large enough to attract attention but in the aggregate they atnbart ts hundred of thousands and perhaps tt seven figures.

SNOW AND SHEET
 MAKE TRAVEI, DIFFICULT


 Rain that began to fall early Thursday morning changed into sleet shortly before daybreal1 and soon the ground was GOV cred with coating of ice and sieet that made travel and walking difficult.
 Streets that had been cleared Of snow during the recent warm spell were again covered with ice and snow that made it hard going for automobiles. The trolley service and train service also suffered to some extent owing to icy rails but noth- ing more damaging than delays in time resulted
 About 5.45 o'clock in the afternoon car on the West Side run burned out and had to be towed back to the car6drn at GreeneviNe, making the trolleys on this run about a half hour late. The Con- necticut company had the snow blows out to clear the ice from the rails, the blows l keeping on the job over various runs un- til shortly after midnight Thursday. Business houses and theatres felt the effects of the storm, as people remained at home unless called out for some urgent need. Church socials and entertainmeDes l were affected. ...-
 The storm made excellent sleighing l but as there are practically no slefghs in the city few were able to enjoy this l pleasure.
 I &aOOuI O U III tAI0 0S c1lAIaS tAlC cury began to go down and by midnight had dropped to about 1e above zero. and 8 high wind, came up shortly after dark. 1 Before midnight the storm cleared and for time the moon appeared. but this was not for long. as by o'clock snow started to fall and 1t looked as though the storm would continue through the night.
 Pedestrians and auto drivers were not the only ones to suffer: many housewives who had left washings out on the lives over night Wednesday experienced all manner of difficulties in taking them in Thursday. The clothes had been frozen stiR to the lines and it was no easy mat ter to remove them without tearing. Tn many cases the clothes were left on the l lines.
