Hartford May Lose
 Sum Allotted Them
 For Wage Payments
Washington Administrator Not Sympathizing With Cities Which Have Not Found Projects to Fill
 Quotas s-Defnite Deadline to Be Set

understood from Hartford reports that unless that city and others have made great progress in fill ing their allotr1ents within a few days that the money assigned them for wages will be transferred to this and other cities.
 It is known that Harry l.. Hop kins, e d e ral administrator at Washington, has no sympathy with those places which have not yet found enough projects to enable them to fill their given quotas. He said in radio address the other night that such towns would lose CWA funds and would see their allotments go to other towns which had cooperated immediately with the CWA plans and aims.
 This city was the first in the state to have filed its original quota of 1,647, and was rewarded for its promptness by a further grant of S5S jobs, making the total 2,000. During the first two days of the CWA's operation in Water bury, more than 1000 persons were placed on it's payrolls by William M Harris, local administrator. The early jobs were given to those tram ferred from the Mutual Aid payroll while the remainder of the city's 1000 jobs have been allotted to un- employed.
 The danger that Hartford may lose a. good part of its quota has been cited by Miss Eleanor Little, state secretary of the CWA board. She expects that a definite headline will be given Hartford and other tardy towns, before which time tho quota must be filled or they will be given to other cities.

THOMAS A. WESTON
 DIED SUDDENLY
Stricken With Heart Fail= ure in Hallway on South
 Main Street

Thomas A. Weston of 160 Edson avenue died suddenly this morning in the hallway of a building on the corner of South Main and Meadow streets. His body was discovered a few minutes after death by Mrs Mary Cyr of South Main street, who had called to visit friends in the big apartment block. She summoned Lieutenant James Mag ner and Traffic Officer James Kier- nan. They discovered that MT Weston was dead and notified po- lice headquarters. Lieutenant James Mulville on the desk informed Medical Examiner Dr Edward H. Kirschbaum and Coroner John T. Monzani. The cause of death was given as due to complications, in- cluding heart attack.
 The deceased was about 69 years of age and a resident of Waterbury for over fifty years. He was known to many as former driver of hacks when those modes of con- veyance were popular in Water- bury. He was very well known about the city. The body following the coroner's and medical examin- CTS examination and investigation was removed to the Mulville funer- al home. The funeral arrangements will be announced later.
 Mir Weston is survived by three daughters, Mrs Anthony Graph of this city, Mrs Suzanne Boston and

Healing Arts Show
 39O Increase In 1883
NEsss Gain By 3O8 and "M.D.'s" By 52-Past Years
 Registration Listed lO,O36 Practitioners

Under Section 636B of the 1883 Cumulative Supplement to the General Statutes (Section 409A in the 1881 Supplement), all practi- tioners of the Healing Arts, except those in dentistry, optometry and Christian Science, are required to register annually with the state de- partment of health and to pay a license fee of $2.00. They are like wise required to furnish on blanks provided by the department such information concerning themselves as may be asked. The statute also provides that the department shall annually publish a list of all reg istered practitioners and distribute it among those on the list. The registered practitioners are then re- quired to notify the department of anyone practicing the Healing Arts whose name does not appear on the list. Through the provisions of this act Is thus provided a safeguard against the fraudulent practice of the healing cults.

Utilities Need Not
 Fear 1884 Factors
Samuel Ferguson Finds Many Adverse and Favorable
 Adherents in Past Year

Factors, both favorable and un- favorable to the light and power industry, followed rapidly upon one another, last year, but stockAold- CTS of the utilities have little to fear from the coming year of 1884, Samuel Ferguson, president of the Hartford Electric Light company, declared today in reviewing the past year. Among other state- ments, MT Ferguson said that ad- verse agitation against utilities Is more and more being confined to those who seek publicity there from.
 MT Ferguson's statement was as follows:
 "The past year has been one of marked changes in the business of electric companies throughout the country. Factors, both favorable and unfavorable, have followed one another with great rapidity.
 "The adverse factors of moment were:
 "1. Heavy falling off in business during the first few months of the year when the output was material ly below that of the corresponding months of the previous year. 2. The transfer of the three per cent tax to the companies which while seemingly Insignificant on any in- dividual bill amounts in the case of The Hartford Electric Light Company to $110,000.O0. 8. The imposition of the Capitol Stock Tax which owing to the dates fixed by law amounted to one and One-half per cent instead of one percent. This meant $37,O00.0O more. 4. The burdens of the NRA regulations. 5. The acts of the federal administra- tion adverse to the interests of util- ities, such as the Muscle Shoals leg islation and the PWA grants to municipalities for the purpose of creating municipal plants. While these acts have not directly affected industries In the state, they have served to encourage discontent on the part of the public.
 "The favorable factors have been:
 q. The great increase in the number of customers electing to cook with electric ranges. 2. The mid-year turn in volume of busi- ness when increases as large as twenty per cent were recorded over the output of the preceding year. 3. The action of the Ten nessee Valley Authority in incor- porating a clause in their contracts which states that the deficits to be created by the specified three cent retail rates would be made up through subsidies in the form of Development Surcharges' on all commercial and industrial busi- ness.
 "This action is of the greatest importance to all private utilities in that the federal government thereby goes on record that under present conditions of usage price of three cents is insufficient to GOV CT cost. It will probable serve t awake in the American peopl, their natural instinct of fair play
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-27

and they will recognize that it ia not fair play to attack utilities for failure to make rates as low as the utility baiters have been demanding when the government itself finds that these rates are only possible by means of a subsidy.
 "The stockholders of Connecticut utility companies have little to fear from the coming year. Complaints are decreasing and adverse agita- ton, while disturbing to public re- lations, is more and more being confined to those who seek pub iicity therefrom. Further tax tn- creases will be bearable as they will be collected in turn from cus- toners, but these constantly in- creasing burdens are making very difficult the constant effort to lower prices and thus make service more generally available for all pur- poses. How can rates go down in the face of being forced to collect from ten to fifteen dollars per cus- toner for t.xes? Except for this burden the prospect for lower prices is very good as during the past year, the adoption of elec- tricity as a means of cooking and heating hot water has become much more widely accepted than ever before."
 Although the gas industry in Connecticut has been hit by gen. eral economic conditions during 1888, the outlook for better busir ness appears to be brighter at the present than at any time during the past year. according to Eben E. Putnam, president of the Green wich Water & Gas company, in a statement issued today in which he sums up the past year in his field. Wider use of gas in industry is al- ready being reflected and residen- tial sales have held up remarkably well due to the introduction of spe- cial rates for some types of heat ing, he says.
 MT Putnam's statement follows:
 While the gas business in the state has suffered from the general economic conditions which have prevailed during late years as have other lines of business, the outlook for better business appears to be brighter at present than at any time during the past year.
 Companies supplying industrial centers report that the increase in payrolls of local manufacturing plants is being reflected in a re- sumption of wider use of gas ser- vice. Customers who during the past two or three years have changed to competitive fuels be- cause of apparent or hoped for economies, find that these have not been realized and are gradually re- turning to the use of gas service. Residential business as . whole has held up remarkably well and the introduction by some companies of so-called inducement or promo tional rates for water heating and. home hetaing has resulted in more extensive use of gas service in | many instances.

STEP CAREFULLY ON
 SLIPPERY WALKS
The Ice Concealed Under Snow Is Cause of
 Many Falls

Watch your step. The treacher- ous ice under the snow makes walking very dangerous and it will be no wonder if many serious falls are reported before the snow is all cleared off walks and crossings. People are making an effort to comply with the ordinance regard ing cleaning and sanding. walks, but 1t is not possible to meet public requirements. Many worked hard last night and woke up this morn ing to find that the wind had tossed large share of the snow back onto the walks, leaving things almost the same-as before they did anything.
 No doubt the police will take things into consideration and give property owners a fair show to clean walks before reporting them as offenders against the law.
