 Waterbury was fortunate that its two important pieces of leglslatio1, the charter revision bill and the trade school bill, were given final passage before the Legislature got Into an even moro serious state Of confusion than it was early this week.

rs was the week ln which the Waterbury trade school bill was threatened with defeat because of Q dispute over who should get the credit. Several House members were angry because when the blll paased the Senate.

MORE ON WASH BOILERS
Now They're Over Fifty
Years Old; Still In Use

Copper wash boilers-those faith
full servants Of the family wash
are apparently near imperishable.
We have boilers reported at 80
years old. Others at near four de-
cades. Still others are so years old.
Boilers that do the washing as a
speciality and the cold pack canning
as a rousing sideline. Boilers that
help the neighbors
Boilers that serve two families.
Boilers that have boiled more
clothes than a South Sea Island ma
tive will ever dream of.
These are results. Results of
q little escapade I'm journalism
the Herald started Last week
with the help Of william Wruck
who claimed precedence for his
SO-year-old boiler bought in 1911
over that belonging to q Slap
les woman bought the same
year but which had ceased to
administer to the family wash
day.
Tsk, tskl Apparently that is
very bad. No wash boiler that
cannot serve unwhimperingly on
the family wash day, no matter
It's age, is scarcely worth the fire

to blacken its bottom. We have
that on good authority.
Right then and there we began
learning things about boilers and
began to learn that such stories
may begin a search we are afraid
will go on forever.
Among the oldest yet reported
is owned by ]. H. Poke, of this
city, bought in the 1905, though
the exact date is not available.
It still serves two families in their
washing needs.
Another oldster in the group is
owned by A. e. Lamb The boiler
has been in continuous use for fiji
ty years and has been used by
neighbors and friends, still feels
young enough to serve two families
in these later years. It was pur-
chased from the Willis Howe hard
ware in this city early in 1891 by
Mr.. Lambs father. II remember"
he said, because I was II at the
time"
Only puzzling aspect Of this
whole performance is the serious
economic question logically arising:
when do hardwares ever sell new
boilers?
