This is money which has gone into circulation through the channels of trade in the past year in addition to that for the preceding year. The total wages paid In the in- AQustrial plants of Norwich during 1909 amounted to $3.638,114.65, against the sum of §3.318,427.86 for the vear 1908, showing the handsome increase during the vear of $319,686.79. This is a most happy showing with which to start off the mew year, during which even sreater prosperity than during the past anticipated. Everything points to it and the manufacturers are confident of the future. This showing will undonbtedly come as a surprise to a vagt vroportion of the readers, because of the street cor- ner gossip as to the decline in indus- trial activity here and will serve to strengthen the faith in the manufac- turing interests. Norwich has passed through a prosperous year, more busi- ness has been done than®in the pre- vious year and the grand total paid out in wages shows an about ten per cent. In some instances there has been 140 per cent. increase in wages paid, while in a few instances the Increase has been between 20 and 30 per cent, but the general average Is about ten. There are cases where the wages paid were less than in 1908, but those are but three, excepting where plants have moved away or gone out of existence. Norwich's prosperous showing in the face of proclaimed adversity will be heralded with delight, and it should be, for it shows that in a year of uncer- tainty there has been excellent results and most promising indications for even better industrial activity in the year at hand. The outlook is rosy and the Norich industries will get their share of the business, meaning in- creased trade and more wages diss tributed. Miscellaneous Industries. Tor the United States Finishing Co. the year 1909 was a top notcher, the payroll showing an increase of over twenty per cent, and the indications are that the ensuing year will like- wise pro > a vear of exiensive gains. The International _Silver company, successors to the Norwich Cutlers company. in 1909 concluded the best ar’s business during the twenty years in Norwich, present outlook for the new year is that they will have fully as much business as during 1909 and it s probable that there will be quite an increase. There was nearly a thirty per cent. increase in the pay- roll. With the Norwich Nickel and Brass company. the past vcar has been one of continued and increased prosperit: an inereased payroll, and brings it td the opening of a vear in which a still further increase is anticipated. This is based upon the demands for their product through the middle west, where the stores are becoming mod- the ernized and are adopting latest 1deas. The payroll of the Uneas Specialty company during 1909 was 2 1-3 times 1908, and the concern day to keep up what it was in is running night and Local Industries Had Prosperous Year During inEnryUuofofi" cas L 1910 Extremely Bright Say Manufacturers. increase of | > e “ 10 S %, with the orders for the upplies whic hit manufactures. a _year's work ahead, the prospects 1910 are for g8 even better period tin one passed. The belt factories are doing an in- creased business and 1ook for an even better year in 1910 than in the one R e sy 50 e Paper ny t yrolls increased many thousand dol- 's and the coming year opens better than last and there is every prospect of its continuing good. The H. B. Porter & Son. Co. fore- see another big year, the past one hav- ing served to increase their payrolls over 15 per cent. while the Ossawan mill can see nothing but good busi- ness during 1910. : The_Cheisea File works and the Blue Star Overalls Co. both show a decided increase in their payrolls and can see nothing but steady business ahead. The Stanton, Turner Co. finished a fine year, showing g good increase and the prospects are that there will be an increase in 1910 from 25 to 40 per cent. The Ossawan mill his shown an increase and expects it will continue this year Cotton Mills. The cotton mills all show an appre- | ciable increase in their payrolls, & significant fact as to prosperity. It was cxpected that 1909, however, would prove an unusually big year, but it has not come up to expectations. This, sald one representative miil man, was & disappointment, and the outlook for 1910 is not clear because of the doubling in the price of cotton, while there has been hut an advance of tem to fifteen per cent. in the price of cof ton cloth. It is believed that this will straighten out, however, and that 1910 will do what was expected of 1909. e | “Another nead of a large cotton in- dustry, in speaking of the coming year, faid that the situation was nev- er so mixed. “It is impossible. to tell anything about it with the prevailing conditions,” he continued, “but we hope for_an adjustment and good results.” The jump In the price of cotton has made an uncertain condition for the mil lagents to meet and at just the time when they would like to see in- to the future and plan for the year. The healthy Increase in payrolls In a vear which did not come up o expec- tations, however, gives reason for be- lieving that business will equal last year's if it does mot exceed it The situation applies to all ihe cot- l.ton mills practically alike, from the Ponemah mill, with its payroll of about | a million a year down to the others, | the Totoketf, Falls and Shetucket | companies, which distribute many hundred thousand a year among their help. Woolen Mills. Figh pressure is on with the woolen mills and in one instance a night shift has been at work for several months to keep up with ‘the orders. Pros- pects are particularly bright in nearly every instance, Hall Bros. show about a tem per increase over last year in their payrolls. All their mills are running | full time and have been doing a steady business through the year. They could run another mill if they had it. At the Reliance mill it has been nec- essary to run nights to fill orders, the new concern proving a big assets for the city. The outlook is that the bus- iness will continue the same. but it can hardly look forward to much of an increase with present equipment, the past year showinz a 20 per cent. increase in_the payroll. At the Yantic woolen mill an in- crease of ten per cent. is shown in the payrolls, with prospects excellent. The Clinton’ was run only about half the vear, owing to the panic. which affected all woolen manufacturers. The outlook is uncertain, said one of the heads of the concern, During the past to 140 ‘ 5 "fi".'“" 5t 206 1m0 1968, ‘Glen ‘Woslen company has had & Toar of ploaperity wpd 1910 augurs for t] “of the same. © Velvet and Silk Mills. “The silk mills are alf doing a steady business, with the tndications that Ii 1] e throughou year.

The New England Silk Spinning company s well started in its new location and the outlook is for a steady increase, % The J. B, Martin velvet mill is be- ing enlarged to take care of itz in- creasing business and there the out- look for 1910 is very promisinz. The past year showed an increase of about 12 pér cent, in payroll over 1908 Foundries. ‘With the foundries and boiler mak- ers there has been a prosperous year _all doing a larger business the previous year. For the ., the 1910 business was in_operation but 140 days a than in McCrum-Howell is expected to be fully as good as in the past year, when a 25 per cent. in- crease in payroll was shown. The capital stock of the company has been increased lately. but this may not af- fect the local plant any Nearly ali the business of the John T. Young Boiler company has been done in the past year and the pros- pects are all for an increasing busi- ness in this new year. At the Vaughn foundry 19/ was a very good year, the business showing an appreciable increase, as the payroll denotes, and a continuance is looked for with the extensive building going | on. Firearms Factori | The remaining firearms factories in | the city have shown an increase in | the total payroll for that industry, de- | spite the fact that the Davenport and Tobin companies have dropped out of the business life of the city. The loss of the two concerns is a vital one, hut at the Hopkins & Allen factory and the Crescent Arms company no rea- son can be seen why there should not be_a good vear in 1910. . he indications for 1909 were mis- leading, the results not being what was prophesied, yet there has been a g00d_business, as the payroils show, Tor the going concerns, an increase of fifteen per cent, despite shutdowns and short time. | Paint Factor 1 At the paint factories there has been an appreciable increase in business as shown by the payrolls, and its con- tinuance is looked for. unless the greatly increased cost of raw mater- ials curtails building plans throughout the country. R. S. Parker of the Parker-Preston Co., stated that there had been an in- crease in employes of fully 25 per cent. The company has opened new branches in San Francisco and Los Angeles and has made arrangements with Derbyshire & MacLbod in Van- couver, B, for the handling of their business there, where extensive bullding operations are going on in 25 towns, embracing citles with popula- tions of from five thousand to seven- ty-five thousand, and 100 towns with Jess than 5000. Carload lots are be- ing sent there. Their trade extends from Bath, Mec., to the Pacific, and even to Christchurch, New Zealand, where a stock of their goods is car- ried. Their products are used in the highest class buildings in the world. their floor coating being in the Singer Manufacturing _company’s building, and_also_the City Investing building in New York. Their policy is pride, conscience and science. ANOTHER NORWICH BOY IN NEW YORK POLITICS. David G. MacConnell Made Deputy Registrar With Salary of $3,500 for Four Years.

WATER COMMISSIONERS TALKED OVER SITUATION. Decide Not to Curtail Just Yet, but Will Be Obliged to Soon Unless Rain Comes. Chester MacGregory The regular monthly meeting of the board of water commissioners was held on Friday evening. at which the routine business was carried out. and there was a discussion on the condi- tion at the reservoir, where the water is over 208 inches below high water mark and dropping Iy. - it was thought, however, that as long as there was S0 much snow and ice on the wa- tershed that there was water cnough to €ave for the needs for quite a while and with a rain there would be plenty. If thére is no rain it will be nece to curtail, provided the cold snap con- tinues, The big waste, it ix believed, comas from the people allowing the water to run nights and days to prevent it freezing and that it is much greater than the consumption by the eleva- tors: although if it comes to curtail- ment it will be the elevators which will have to be shut off. The meters in many instances are proving the opin- jon of the missioners intendent to be true. as free all they use.
