Of the passenger will be in the
seats planned on automotive prin-
ciples. Indeed SO great is the SIM
ilarity between the new type of
seat and that in motor cars that
automobile body companies are
bidding on the new units. These
seats will be made of netal tubing
constructed on the "angle of emo
fort" principle with detachable
cushions and backs and moulded
arms and will weigh 65 pounds per
seat les sthan the present type. An
ingenious pivot arrangement will
allow for a foursome of bridge.
Chair arms as we'll as window stills
are of nodded plastic compound,
and non-shatterable glass is used.
Luggage racks are of aluminium,
effecting another weight saving of
several hundred pounds.
The lighting has been given great
attention. With the indirect prin-
ciple discarded because of the
waste of current, Mr. league adopt
ed a systen<which directs the light
downward in controlled beams.
This eliminates glare and provides
such concentrated light where the
passenger needs it that he can read
as easily as in his favorite chair
at home.
Throughout the program effort
his been made to effect economics
which will compensate for addi-
tional expenditures involved in
weight-saving construction and in
creased passenger comfort. Saw
ings have been made in lighting,
seat construction and other details.

comfort and attractiveness, on the

will be represented, together with

TAX REDUCTION
PLEASES HARRIS
Local Welfare Director In
terested in Local Con-
Sun1erS of Oil

A communication received by
William Harris at Lincoln House
yesterday from Senator Walcott in
regard to the proposed tax on CO.
coanut oil states that the levy has
been reduced. to three cents in the
tariff bill now worked out. 1t was
formerly five cents.
Mr. Harris believes that even a
three cent tax is excessively high.
He has interested himself in the
issue because of the large quanti-
ties Of oil consumed in Waterbury
by many OF the families which
come to his attention in his official
capacity at the Lincoln house.
Many of the families in Water
bury Of foreign birth are users of
the oil in various ways. Mr. Harris
said, particularly for cooking pur-
s p more re- oil than many cities
larger in size but with smaller
per centage of foreign population.

CLOCKAID DANCE
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Revue, With a Cast of IS,
to Top Hamilton Park
Event

Waterbury, Here's your chance
to get that pleasing. colorful sort
of entertainment that you have
been waiting for so long-the kind
of entertainment that is pleasing
to the eye, to the ear and more
especially to the mind.
Surrounded by a cast of thirty
five plus twenty-five principals, the
Employees Aid Association Of the
Waterbury Clock Company will put
on their annual revue and dance
at Hamilton Park on April 9Th.
With that eminent director, Jack
Fitzgerald, this event promises to
be one of the most colorful anna
teur events that the city has had
SO far.
Through the efforts of the enter
tainment committee, a group of
sixty have been picked from
throughout the plant and have
been rehearsing for the past month
and a half to put this show over.
Waterbury will be quite pleased to
know that talent of this nature has
been hiding behind the skirts of
modesty. The only entertainers
working outside of the Waterbury
Clock Company who are in this
affair are the Mccoy Trio Of Wa
terbury, composed of the we'll
known Lillian Mccoy, Dorothy
Sternberg and Helen Larkin, and

Railroad Purchases
Fifty New Coaches
New Haven Line Expects to Benefit Principally
Through Reduced Fuel Consumption

Details of the design for the fifty
new coaches designed by Walter
Derwin league, the contract for
which has been awarded to the
Pullman Bradley Car Corporation,
Worcester, Mass, a subsidiary of
Of the Pullman cmopanyfiy, for de-
livery in the latter part of 1884,
have just been announced by j. J.
PelIey, president of the New Ha-
ven railroad.
Embodying radically new prin-
ciples, the new cars will be operat-
ed, SO far as possible, as unit trains,
but are interchangeable with pres
ent equipment IL occasion de-
mands. The stream lining of the
body and the greatly decreased
weight, from $4,000 pounds each
with present coaches, to 10000
pounds with the new ones, marks
the first adaptation TO modern de-
sign to standard railroad coaches
cipally through reduced fuel con-
sumption.
All Air Conditioned
In order to reduce wind resist
ance by DETECTING air currents, an
approach to a tubular cross-section
has been effected. Because the cars
are aforementioned the usual clere-
story has bene eliminated, and a
turtle back" roof adopted. By
careful design the overall height
of the cars has been reduced IL
inchs without sacrifice of head
room, inside. All mouldings have
been eliminated from the sides and
the windows, grouped in pairs, will
be framed in round-cornered
polished aluminium band. Thus an
effect familiar in automobile body
construction has been adapted for
the first time to railway coaches.
The interior has been designed
for the maximum of passenger
comfort and "eye appeal" Easy
riding seats, cleanliness, gaiety of
color schemes, ample light have
been the designers aim. Air-con-
ditioning provides an agreeable at
mosphere at all times, as we'll as a
quiet ride, noises being reduced to
the minimum. The eliminating of
dust and dirt makes high-keyed
color combinations and decorative
effects possible which will be as
gay and pleasing as those in a
home interior. In one scheme rich
blue and silver predominates, with
of vermilion beneath O.
white ceiling.

suspended in the case of James
Owens of Hoadley street on a
charge Of intoxication. Owens was
arrested Sunday night and the case
was continued from yesterday. He
was found not guilty on a charge
of breach of the peace. The case
of Charles White of 80 Aetna street
accused of breach of the peace,
was discharged in court today. MI
chael Belancia of 1O4 Quinsiga-

These were the only cases in court.
CWA Paid sS5,714.63, -
The sum Of $85,714.63 was paid

ers here during the time the CWA
was effective in the borough, Chris
Groh, local CWA official, today
announced. This covers the period
from November II, 1888 to the end
of March, 1894.
When 1t is considered that a.
least part of this expense would
have had to be paid ordinarily by
the town, 1t can be seen what q
big assistance the CWA was to the
borough. It is true that many prof.
ects undertaken by the CWA
might not have been started unless
1t were in existence but borough
relief expenses would have been
thousands OF dollars higher.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.

Juneau and all of Alaska should be particularly
aware of thoughtfuy observing this week, which
is nationally designated Fire Prevention Week.
The extensive and devastating effect of the ruth
essness of destructive fires has been recently den
itey impressed the mind of every Alaskan by the
unfortunate and ruinous Nome fire.
Fire is constant hazard from innumerable
sources ranging from defective wiring, stoves furn
aces combustibe materials in storage to carelessly
handled cigarettes cigars ashes and matches.
Fire Prevention Week is good week to check
over possible fire hazards in homes and business
places and to eliminate them. 1t is an opportune
time to clean up storage rooms, attics, and base
ments; to clean flues and to check over electric
wiring, for short circuits and to that stove
pipes, chimneys stoves and furnaces properly
insulated, from anything that might catch fire.
Also it is good time to again point out to
children the danger of fire not only in property
destruction, but the painful and many times fatal
injuries that caused by it.
Fire is present possible enemy, and
should be regarded as such, and watched with
thorough vigilance, that it may properly serve
but not destroy.
