Mount Vernon's Visitors

THAT sign says so" replies the first,
pointing to the card above the door
The solder reads the card and then
quickly turns back to the room, eX-
aiming the bed with interest.
Down in the library, where Wash
ington's spectacles lie on his desk,
much as if the master had laid them
down absentminedly, and where his
books, bookcase, barometer and Their
mometcr and globe are in their places,
groups gather around the guard.
"Were they really his" is the qucs-
ton asked oftenest. They were. About
half of the things on the first floor
were intimately associated with Wash
ington, at Mount Vernon, Philadcl-
phia or New York. Out in the pantry
people eyed the wine containers, big
glass jars. He must have had big
capacity or done a lot of entertain
ing remarked one irrevcrcnt visitor
Then to the kitchen, with the huge
fireplace, the crane, the long splits sua-
pended overhead, its iron pots and
brick oven. One small boy eyed these
in wonder. How do you think mother
would like to cook on that" he asked
his father who didn't know.
Hams In Smokeh0use
Then on to the smokehouse, with its
hams, suspended from the ceiling
beams and the carriage house where
the huge, ungainly coach in which
Washington is believed to have rid
den, stands "Think of winning war
in that thing" remarked one specta-
tor. "Thcy bred men in those days

guard volunteered the information
that the present vault was not the
original one but was built at Wash
ington's direction after the death OF
Martha. The first one was on a hill
side leading down to the river, the
guard said, and the President was
afraid that a landslide might destroy
it. Quietly they wandered away, to
return to the lawn, or the bowling
green or to walk through the gar
dens. There was no hurry or rush, anu
the attitude Of those who came to the
shrine was startling to any observer
accustomed to the fury of war &C

No Rules Seem Needed
Aside from a modest "no-smoking"
sign placed, with a depository for the
discarded cigarettes Just inside the
gates, there arc no rules for visitors
to Mount Vernon. And yet Americans.

Operating RevenuesOf Power Go. Up In 1941
Offset By Increasing Costs Annual Report of C. L. &
 P. Company Shows

Connecticut Light and Power Com. pany last spring was reviewed by MT. Campbell. Sale of the UGH Con- pany'S stock, which constituted a controlling interest in the Connec- ticut utility, resulted in much greater local control of stock, MT Campbell said. The Company now has 19,600 common stockholders, according to the report, and they own an average of 59 shares each. Residents of Connecticut hold AT per cent of the stock and, with other New England stockholders, they won 62 per cent of the con- mon stock. The change in stock ownership also resulted in changes in the Board of Directors so that at present ten of the eleven directors of the Company are citizens of Con- necticut.
 The report contained a summary of ref1nancing and new financing which has only recently been con- pleted and which includes the re- tirement of all previous preferred stock through exchange or recall and the raising of $10000,000 of new capital through new preferred stock issue to provide money for current and contemplated expansion of the Company's generation, trans mission and distribution facilities. It is estimated by MT. Campbell that the financing will cover the Company's capital Needs for the next next three years.
 In addition to the expansion of the Devon generating plant, im- provementS to the Company'S prop critics in 1941 included:
 Installation of facilities for an emergency inter-connection with the main electric system of The United Illuminating Company at Devon, should such an inter-connection be- come necessary; extension of the Rocky River-Danbury 66,000-volt transmission line to Norwalk; erec- tion of new service building for the Northern Division at Enfield; and installation of additional gas generating facilities at Waterbury.

asked the police board to limit park ing in the grounds around the city hall to city officials and employees.
 Since it can be taken for granted that MT Lynch will rule that the all- night parking ban is legal, Demo- cratic aldermen, who had previously opposed all moves to lift or amend the regulation, joined the Republi- cans in voting for MT. Walkers motion.
 The vote forbidding all persons other than city officials and em- ployes from parking on the city hall grounds may stir up controversy, for attempts to enforce such a rule have met with considerable public opposition in the past.
 Alderman Peter DeCicco expressed the hope that the city hall parking rule benefit not only the chosen people" but such officials as Repub- lican aldermen. He was assured by President John s. Monagan that he is city official.
 The board approved the appoint ment of four factory employees as special constables for two years. The four are John Niauua and Walling- ton Wookey of the French Small Tube division of the American Brass Company and Ernest Gothberg and Joseph Custidio of the Waterbury Button Company.
 Authorization was given Mayor Vincent A. Scully to accept a deed from the A. H. Wells Company for small strip of land near Bunker Hill school. It will be used to build retaining wall.
 An award of $70 ill damages to Carmen Conuale of Jersey street for the loss of two goats killed by stray dogs was voted.
 Aldermen Patrick F. Shea, Demo- crat, majority leader, Alderman Ed- ward Rafferty, Democrat, and AL derman Walker were appointed to a special committee to recommend leg islation on civilian defense.
 A change form B residential to a business zone for Grand View Heights was voted. Permission was given Benjamin Chatf1eld to with draw an application for a zoning change transferring Montrose street to an industrial zone.
 Transfers recommended by the board of works and fire commits sionets were approved.
