 Eactorocs Resume Work
 Factories resumed work this morn- ing as the trouble with the power transmission lines had been remedied during the night and motors could be turned on as usual. Because of the lack of current last night. the night force of the New Departure Manufac- turing Co. was compelled to lay off. The city was being supplied last night by the generating plant of the Bristol X PlainriIle Electric Co.,, which has q capacity of about l,500 kilowatts, while the normal consumption of the city at large is about 5000 kilowatts, so that the plant had plenty to do to keep inc lights on and the trolley cars running.
 City Begins snow Removal
 Removal of the snow from the city streets was started early this morning by the public works department so that traffic was not greatly incon- Venienced by the storm. Sidewalks also received prompt attention last night and today, because of the up work during recent storms by the police department. Prosecution will follow. if property owners are delinquent with their walks, according to an announcement of the police officials.
 Honor Dead Principal
 In honor Of their principal, George Thompson. whose funeral was held this afternoon at 2:S0 o'clock at his homo at 247 high street, the South side and Park street schools were closed during the afternoon. Chill dren and teachers in relays of one room at time visited the Thompson home this morning 10 pay their re- spocts to the dead principal. One of the most beautiful of the floral pieces that covered the casket was a huge blanket of Niolets and lilies of the valley given by the children and teachers of the Par'i street and \,uth- side schools and by the Parent-Tcach- CTS association Of the allied schools. The city paid its respect to the popu- lar Instructor by lowering the flag on the city building 10 half mast.

 Telephone Service Good.
 Despite the trouble with the power ires last night, telephone service was as usual and no great de- avs in putting through toll calls were experienced.
