NEW STOCK ISSUED
 BY POWER COMPANY
Includes S4,5OO,OOO First Pre-. Iierred and S2,5OO,O00 Convertible

At a meeting of the preferred and 1 common stockholders of the Connec-
 ticut Light and Power Go. approval
 has been given to issuing S4,500,000
 seven per cent first preferred stock
 and $2,500,000 eight per cent con- vertible preferred, both cumulative.
 The principal purpose of these present issues is to carrying on the
 construction program of the com
 pany. The most important unit of
 new construction is a steam electric generating station at Devon, which is located at tidewater at the mouth of the Housatonic river near Bridgeport. This new plant is already under con struction and as now planned will have an initial installation capacity of 100000 horse power which more than doubles the companys present plant capacity.
 The program includes also 75 miles of high tension steel tower transmits sion lines, as well as the necessary sub b-stations to connect the new power station with the companys distribu- tion stations. The location is of great advantage with reference to fuel deliveries and will lend itself to ex- pansion to meet the requirements of the companys steadily increasing business.
 The number of customers, both for power and ordinary electric supply, is constantly increasing and throughout these districts new and improved processes are being steadily installed calling for more diversified and great CT uses of electrical power. It is es- timated that the Connecticut Light & Power company's sales in four years will have almost trebed as compared with the present annual sales Of about 125,000,000 kilowatt hours. The industries of these districts are very diversified and the products in many instances are for most common household as well as trade uses.
 The company owns and operates two hydrk electric properties with an aggregate capacity of 34,600 horse power, S6 miles of high tension trans mission lines and various important sub-stations. The two producing sta tions embody most upfto-date develop ments in machinery, dam engineering" etc. These plants ars on the Housatonic river and the com developments Of reservoirs and control of undeeeloped areas assure l present and future requirements. and show great foresight on tho part of the management. a@
 The new seven PCT cent preferred | stock is to be distributed by syndi- | cate headed by Estabrook & Co. of : Boston and New York.

CLINTON, MASS. HAS FIRE
Loss Estimated At $500. GOO From Bad Blaze in Business Center of City Early This Morning.

Clinton, Mass, Jan. 31.-A loss es- timated at s3o0.oo0 resulted from a fire in the business destrict today which destroyed the Clinton House block and large part of the Doggett block adjoining. The fire started from an undetermined cause in a shne store in the Clinton House block for merly hotel but recently occupied by stores and halls.
 Occupants of tenements in the Dog gett block and another nearby build- ing had plenty of time to dress and reach the street before flames or smoke approached their quarters. Tlfe presence of snow and ice on the roofs of other buildings helped to prevent further spread of the flames.
