Bridgeport gas light station projects noted in winter section summaries. O. T. 7 ae.
The Bridgeport Gas Light Co plans a January 1 rate schedule based on modern gas practices. Aimed at fairness to all users, the scheme uses a cumulative pricing model with a maximum of $1.00 per thousand cubic feet for the smallest users and discounts for prompt payment. Volume discounts apply beyond 10,000 cubic feet monthly, with additional meter charges for multiple meters. The company seeks to boost total sales, justify future base-rate cuts, and lower prices for small consumers as wholesale volumes rise. Dever H. Warner, President.
A humorous verse describes birds and eggs in simple terms. It notes the cow or elephant cannot lay an egg, praises hens for eggs, and lists useful birds like the stork and canary. The piece mocks parrots and ends with a playful line about boosting a child to say a mild swear.
The Fourth International Egg Laying Contest at Storrs shows rising weekly production since November 1. In week five 1 462 eggs were produced, 296 more than the prior week and 441 more than the same period last year.
