Our annual ‘affairs are as dignified and brilliant as those of any organization in the country, This was the verdict of the trio of ‘congressmen who were our guests a year ago, I feel this magnifi- cent gathering here tonight is a wor- thy tribute to the drawing power of the gifted gentlemen who occupy the speakers’ table. 1 extend to them the warmest welcome that hospitable Nor- wich can give and hope they may often in_the future accept our hospitality. We are met so cloge to the anni y of the birth of Gen. George &: ‘Washington that I cannot refrain from alluding to him, On the evening of June 20, 1775, he came up the Thames Tiver In a packet boat with horses and attendants and stopped for the night in the little, low brick building which stood on the corner mow occupied by the Norwich savings bank. The next day he proceeded on his way to Boston to assume the command of the Ameri- can army. Again in April, 1776, Washington re- turned by way of Norwich and crossed the Shetucket river at the fording- place in Greeneville. He remained here long enough to have dinner with Col, Jedediah Huntington in the house now occupled by Mrs. William H. Fitch at Norwich Town. The board of trade has been very ac- tive the past year.

Furthermore, it Norwich appeared more prosperous forty" years ago it was be- cause our capitalists were investing their money at home. They have since had some cxperience investing their capital abroad. The money wasted on outside schemes In the past forty years would have been ample to; double the number and extent of our | local industries.

New Loridon need have no fears in this direction. The good citizens of Norwich who followed a recent trial in our city of a New London woman are. perfectly satisfled to have London's cases tried at home. Norwich is earning an env bly suited by natural attractions; ntly endowed with historic in- terest and easily the leader of the ies of the state in the hosp and convenjence of its social organ tions, Norwich offers superior induce- ments to organizations which hold an annual gathering. During the past year we have entertained twelve state convention. The impressions which one receives on entering a town are usually lasting ones. Hence a certain amount of civic pride is necessary in making our prin- cipal thoroughfares clean and. attrac- tiy . Norwich was one of the five cities incorporated oy the legislature of Con- necticut in May, 1784. The mayor was at first chosen for an indefinite term. In the early days it was the custom for mayor to serve twelve to teen years. -In 1514 a mayor was elected who held on to the office for seventeen years before he saw resign. Other candidates for the orality grew old waiting for a v and finally rose up and declared that in the future the term of office should be limited to one here aYe hose who belleve now an appropriate time to restore the anclent custom and continue the present mayor in_office indefinitel T have the honor to present to you— His Honor, the Mayor of Norwich, Costello Lippitt. Mayor Lippitt Pleased. Mayor Lippitt received a round of applause as he responded and said he was glad the time had come, as he Dbeen dreading it all the evening, Mak- ing speeches he considered one of the acks in belng mayor. Like the auregan Hook and Ladder co; pany, he said his motto was Deeds Not Wor It Is easy tonight to welcome our as President Tuttle's wife was y of this city, while Mayor parents were residents of this as was he for some time. We have not as much to show here as there was two weeks ago, but thera are some fine ruins and people go tc Fgypt to see less in the shape of ruins than they are. The owners say that better buildings are to replace in time for our 250th anniversary celebration. He thought there would have to be some hustling, as he has had some ex- perience with contractors. It is a big undertaking, but one to rejoice in. He spoke highly of the board of trade and its work and value to the city. Nor- wich owes much of its prosperity and success to it. It has done all it could and created public sentiment, which amounts to much in getting new and fostering old industries. It is well that such men as calamity howlers do not fird a place in the board of trade. But for the work of the hoard of trade or its influence many industries would not be here and those industries must be conserved. They should not be gotten here and then dropped ago we lost such industrie & Wesson and Allen & Thu as others. because of a cold hand. He expressed gratitude to those who did s0 much to keep the Hopkins & Allen Arms company going afi the fire, an industry of- great importance to the city. All honor is due those who re- habilitated it and allowed their divi- dends to be turned in to build up the businese. It is,wise when we abate taxes for new industries to be careful of the old ones. ‘Taxes must be paid or the city departments cannot be carrjed on. The difficulty of the assessors is great and | yet they have donme remarkably well. | Capital, however, cannot be coerced and when capital goes labor follows and then there is no one to pay taxes. He spoke of two concerns which were planning to enlarge, but now it is a questicn whether they can or not, It is well to be very careful of those wlhich are established. Our recent fire has fully established the efficiency of the fire department. They saved in adjoining property so many times the amount of the appro- last year for it and no one it more than the adjoining He expresed obligations to Yan- tic engine to help out our department.

In nome is it worse than in public transportation methods to- ay. Nelther the raflroad or railroad eor- poration was discovered. by any one. It is today the result of evolution, from no intent beyond the carrying on of a purely private business. Follow- ing the close of the wars in Europe after the banishment of Bonaparte, there was a chance for the develop- ment of commerce, trade, industry and farming in many countries. England started flust and soon the product was so great that it could not be gotten to market. McAdam then gave better roads in 1§18 and canals were dug between waterways which helped in breaking the congestion somewhat, but there was groat need of public, uni~ form and facile transportation. Loc motion was only in the minds of In- ventors, the ) first locomotive being built for drawing coal from mines. It vrorked effectively on a level, but not on an up grade. In 1814 Stevenson had one more effective and when the operation of coal mines, which re- quired getting the cars over hills, was started_he put into operation two of his engines there, and that marked the beginning of public transportation by steam. n sprung up great under- takings in that lne, and in 1836 in this country there were 1,000 miles of railroads. Since then the number of miles has been greatly increased until now there are 230,000 miles of main lines to every section of the country. The railroads have changed the coun- try from a wilderness or waste land to great rival states, spreading civil- ization and making this the gréatest nation on earth. Transportation is the life of the busi- ness of the country. We must bear in mind that every corporation Is an in- dustrial enterprise, like all other in- gustries, only its product is trans- portation. It Is purely a private en- terprise and the existence of railroads has depended upon people _placing therein their money, expecting a rea- sonable return therefrom. When the return ceases they seek other chan- nels. Every mile of the 230,000 miles has heen built by such money, placed thercin with the expectation of an adequate return, and out of this pe- riod of jmpatierice has come a desire to regulate and it has become the strangulation of raflroad product. It is about as impossible to get new money for rallroads with an idea of an adequate return as for a philosopher to try to lift himself by his shoe- straps, The repressive force of legislation s destroyed the possibility of ade- rns and caused the placing of ewhere, Stop for one year cessary extension of trans- portation to meet the demands of trade and commerce and decay sets it. The cérporation s looked on as an inani- mate thing which can be persecuted, which policy is an exemplification of the .fable of killing the =oose which laid the golden egg. Tsn't It time to stop and think on these great questions which involye the well being of every Individual and community? Five million are needed to expand transportation systems to look after the business arising after the depression of the last year, Where is it coming from? Will you put in your money unless you know there will be an adequate veturn? The pub- lic servants should be given the chance to give this adequate return which 1s ected. If the movement does not come the publfe and not the railroad be the greater sufferer. President Tuttle closed amidst much applause, haying shown himself thor- oughly versed in his subject. Poem by Charles E. Ca The next number was a poem by Charles E. Case entitled The Old and the New. It referred to a visit of Major Johr' Mason, one of the settlers te. Norwich recently and the great sur- prise he experfenced from the many changes, the Merry Widow being one of the big surprises. The poem was given py Mr. Case in his inimical gtyle which \thoroughly pleased and he was accorded much applause. Mayor Avery of Holyoke, President Cary introduced Nathan P. Avery, son of Edwin P. Avery, who in '62 was one of the 75 who responded from Greeneville at Governor Buckine- Lam’s call for troops. The son Is now serving his fifth term as mayor of Hol- yoke. YoMayor Avery gave an inspiring talk on The Dutles of a Modern City, after xpressing his pleasure at being pres- ent and recalled the many delightful days of his early boyhood here. All ve left this corner of the state, he gaid, retain an undiminished love and regard for it. Norwich is widely known for its beauty and facilitles and is full of memories and traditions. It is a modern city without losing the beauty of earlier years Holyoke iz modern. a bit of the west dropped into the Connecticut valley, and it is interesting that these new and old places have made the boldest plunge into municipal ownership of public utilities and have been _successful. Seven vears ago Holyoke was payving $100 for a street arc light, 20 cents for house electric lights and $1.35 for gas, Now ares are $60 a year, house lights 6 cents and gas $i, and last year their plant pald all its expenses, depreciation, - interest and its own share of the bonded debt. o far it is a success there. It shows two things, that there 1S a new conception of the functions, purpose and uses of a city, TORIA. h Diapepsin Not Only Digests ENJOY FAVORITE FOODS Your Meals But Cures Your Stomach So You Can Eat Favorite Foods With- out Dread of An Upset Stom: ‘There would not be a case of Indl- gestion here if readers who are sub- ject to Stomach trouble knew the tremendous digestive virtue contained in in.

The city is the focus of the locality where it is placed. Every city has the advantages of every other city, the problems varying in intensity but not in kind. A féw men did things in old- en times, but while great men do their work now yet the modern city is not the product of a few individuals, New city charters are now occupying a big share in the work of the legislatures. The future of the United States is not wrapped up in any one citv but in all of them. The time has gone by when a city government can amount to anything except through scientific and economi- cal principles, The reason is econom- ical and not political. The cities are demanding 80 much that unless hon- esty and economics enter in it cannot be done. The future must be planned for, and he told of public bath houses, play grounds and other great thines which are being done there, The rreat- est jumble. he said, is the liquor leg- islation. People stay in a city where modern methods are pushed and in- dustries can be secured for just that reason. Senator Searls Heard. The closing speaker was Senator Searls of Putnam, who interested in a few stories well told and spoke up- on the work of the legislature. There are 800 bils introduced into the leg- islature and of the number each se: sion, it can be fairly said one-quarter are 'vicious, one-half useless and the remainder v rth something. It is oft- en the wortliess ones are passed and the good ones turned down. He told of the workings and spoke on legisia- tion In general concluding with stat- ing that Norwich has always had a glorious record in political or social circles. He recalled a young man Governor Buckingham, Judge Foster, Jeremiah Halsey, Co. J. T. Waite and Judge Hovey. Any resident of Nor- wich can proudly say “I am a citizen of Norwich.” ‘Norwich will lead in all things good and be an uplift to the state. This concluded the spesches and the gathering dispersed after a rising vote of thanks to the speakers. The successtul affair was arranged b the officers and the entertainment | ana reception committecs and was gen- erally acknowledged to be one of the organizations’ most successfur affairs.
