ever staged since the Festival has
functioned So well was the work Of

 Suspension

B. H. McElhone, district super intendent of the Connecticut Light and Power Co.,, today issued the fol- lowing statement concerning the burning out of cables in a Church street manhole and at the power plant of Landers Frary & Clark last evening:
 Last evening at 5;20 p. m., ser ies of troubles commenced which finally resulted in an Interruption affecting more customers and for a greater duration of time than has ever occurred before in New Brit ain. Our difficulties started with defect of unknown cause in the Church street subway, which result ed in series of short circuits. When the smoke had cleared away and our men were able to get into the subway. 1t was found that two 13,- 500 volt cables and two 2300 volt cables, supplying our Church street sub-station and the central part ot town had burned out Every effort vas directed to restore this service although many difficulties were ex- perenced. including an electrical storm with heavy rain, and at 9:30 D. m, when the first IS, 500 volt cable was about to be placed in service, trouble developed in our power lines at the Landers, Frary X Clark factory, which caused two additional 13.S00 volt cables to be destroyed. This failure in addition to the others caused practically all our customers east of Main street to be without service for several hours, and delayed the establishment oi service on Church street and the central part of Main street for ap- proXimately seven hours
 Every possible effort was made by our entire operating force as well as specialists obtained from the Waterbury and Meriden districts to restore service with the least incon venience and delay 10 our custom CTS.
 Tt is hoped that our customers will appreciate from this statement the almost unsurmountable obstacles that confronted us, which followed series of accidents that were nn- avoidable and beyond our control.
 Our aim has always been, and we will continue, to render the best and most efficient service possible" |"
