sibility of Commissioner Tone go- ing into the Roosevelt cabinet. It is understood that the activities of Governor Cross and Commissioner Tone in their drive to wipe out Sweat shop" conditions has reached the notice of President Elect Roosevelt and other demo- cratic and labor leaders of the country with the result that m3ch favorable comment has resulted.
 Since becoming labor commis- sioner in July, 1881, Tone has suc- ceeded in bringing about 56 con victions in Connecticut for viola ton of the state labor laws. In 17 years preceding, when the rcpubli- cans had charge of the labor de- partment of Connecticut, no ar- rests or convictions were made.
 Incidentally. should Tone be named to the Roosevelt cabinet, he will be the sixth Catholic in the history of the country. Robert E. Fancy of Baltimore was the first.

Fifty-two gasoline pumps were condemned for repairs and three others were confiscated during the past year by sealer of Weights and Measures William !. Dunleavey, 1t is shown in his annual report to Mayor Frank Hayes. Throughout the year he tested and sealed 204 scales, 62 dry measures, TAO liquid measures, 1.001 gas pumps and 470 weights. In his report he points out the increase In gasoline sta. tons and the added inspections necessary because of the increased use of oil for household heating. Had 1t not been for the coopera- ton of the dealers, Mir Dunleavey states, added help would have been necessary for his department.
 During the year five scales. 1 dry measures and ten weights were condemned for repairs, in addition tv the 52 gas pumps. Besides the three gas pumps confiscated. others taken in by Sealer Dunleavey in- cluded six scales, 16 dry measures. 54 liquid measures and 19 weights.

filed a report with the department of education recommending many changes in order to safeguard the health and lives of the children. Since then many of these repairs have been made, judging from Sup erintendent Condon's report, and many more are planned for 1883.
 A new fire escape was installed vt Russell school, the report shows, while at Maloney school new wir- ing and additional lights were in- stalled. The boiler rooms of Sprague and Hamilton avenue schools were newly fireproofed while partitions were fireproofed in the boiler rooms at Hamilton ave- nue, Bishop, Begnal and Hendrick- en schools.
 New doors with panic bolts have been installe dat the Bucks Hill, Rockville. Hamilton avenue, Sprague, Washington, Maloney, Walsh and Webster schools. At Mulcahy, Welton and Leavenworth high schools doors have been re- paired with panic bolts added.
 The last fall registration in the local high schools was the greatest in the history of the city, being 4,69O, an increase of 683 over 1881. Due to this increase and the lack of room. continuation school class es were put on afternoon sessions and Leavenworth High school pu- pills given the use of the rooms in the morning. Also, four rooms in the same building were equipped with pupils desks and seats to meet the great increase in enroll- ment. At Wilby High school pu. pills desks and seats were installed in four rooms, also.
 Instructions in manual training was removed from the sixth grade schedule during the year resulting in three less teachers salaries. Sewing classes were reduced by combining classes, also allowing a reduction in sewing teachers.
 Tn June the Welton street school was made an annex of Croft and the salary of one principal was saved. Also, $4.500 was saved by not naming a successor to Mir Con- don when he was advanced from assistant superintendent.

used for gasoline, 13G loads of coal. 10,O06 packages and 42 tanks used for gasoline and fuel and range oil. He also received calls at his office for advice totalling 370.
 Despite the depression, Sealer Dun1eavey points out, the number of gasoline stations has increased. on the other hand. the number of small scales has decreased. duo apparently to use of pre-weighed package goods. The increase in in- spections necessary due to the growth in the sale of oil for ranges and stoves has been very great, Sealer Dunleavey points out. He also charges in his report that these minute inspections are nec- essary due to the fact that small dealers have been taking advan- tage of the customers. Numerous complaints concerning abuse of customers has been received during 1892, he states.
 Tn the opinion of sealer Dun- leavey meters should be gotten for fuel tanks and trucks so that the inspection of them could be easier and could be carried out more ntiickIv
