Everything is now_in readiness for the b Elks ir, and when the doors of Olympic hall open on Thursday the { four days' whirl of fun will commence. Many innovations and _novelties have been provided by the ‘Hello, Bills,” to insure & good time for all that will at- tend; and when it comes to arranging anything for a good time, the Elks are right at home, as their past perform- ances in this line will show. Many surprises for each day of the| fair have been planned, some of which | are positively startling, and to tell| them here would be to take away the | touch of expectation that is essential | to the enjoyment of these delightful affairs. The surrounding country has been scoured for pretty girls who will have charge of the vorious booths, and it would take a case-hardened miser to refuse t5 spend his loose change at the stands over which these comely dam.- | | sels preside. If you have no loose | change, vou may land the big $2,000 | | prize, and then there will be no ex- |cuse’ for not buying everything in sight. Many of the younger people will not feel at home unless there is some dancing—so daneing there will be, lots | of it, freo a8 the air, and the devotees of the terpsichorean art may whirl | away to thelr hearts’ content, and In between dances there will always be| something going on, so that there will not be a dull mement.

Wednesday, Jan, 17th; is the amn versary of the bisth ¢f Benjamin Franklin in 1706, and will be_one of the flag day dates for the Norwich scheols, while the significance of the day will be brought to mind in each room by more or less extended allu- sions te the date.

F. Mahan and J. H. MacDoriald, One hundred business men of the city met on Monday evening at the Buckingham Memorial for the annual meeting of the Norwich board of trade, heard the reports of a year of progress, | re-elected for another term the same | staff of officers who served in the past | vear, recefved the proposition of the American Thermos Bottle company, which wants to locate its manufactur- | ing plant here, and heard two interest- irg talks, one from the senator-mayor of New London, Hon. Bryan Mahan, | State Highway Commissioner James H. MacDonald. Four New Members. President Joseph D. Haviland call- | ed the meeting to order at 8 o'clock, nd after Secretary Henry W. Tibbits had read his report, which was accept- ed, the names of four men were pro- posed and voted in as members, as| follows: Thomas H. Beckley, Frank W. | Holms, Arthur E. Sherman and John H. Sherman, Committee reports for the year were then taken up, beginning with the ad- vertising committee, John M. Lee, chairman. Advertising Committee. Mr. Lee reported meetings of the | commjtiee, but as there had been no | appropriation for the committee not much could be done, especially in the way of advertlsing, but the folder, A Whiff from the Rose of New England, was prepared, and 10,000 were issued at a cost of $19 and given to mer- chants to put in their mail. Mr. Lee's | report advocated advertising, which, | Le said, was a recognized necessity of | modern’ life. ~Advertising to benefit | Norwich should be to add new indus- | tries and to increase the trading zone | of the community. The board could | work for the first, and the merchants in conjunction with the board for the second. Norwich offers much advant- ago as a trading center. Next year a fund should be provided for the use of the advertising committee, Educational Committ Dr. Pratt's report for the educational mmittee was read by Secretary Tib- bits. It told- of one meeting of the board of trade at which Acting School Visitor Foss had explained school ques- tions. It also referred to the town's appropriation for paying tuition at the Academy and the consideration of school consolidation It was thought this might come up later for further consideration by the board of trade. S. Spalding, chairman,: made a brief report for the entertainment committee of lunches furnished for the | different meetings of the yea Report on Sanitation, H. M. Pollock, chairman, sent a ort for the committee on sanitation, read by Secretary Tibbits. The h of the town and city had | been such in the past year so that no great activity of the committee alled for, this experience demonstrat- g that an ounce of prevention worth @ pound of cure. It spoke with tuberculosis sanatorium and the suc- cess in securing the arrangement for distributfon of antitoxin, and recom- mended town medical ingpection in the schools as a thing to be desired and hoped for. Frank H. Smith made a brief report for the reception committee. New Industries Committee. airman Lewls R. Church reported for the committee on new industries Hardly any committee has done as much or put in so much time. The committee did not believe that high taxes was a reason, as had been al- leged, for concerns not locating here. They believe the industries pay the lowest taxes in the town of Norwich of any town in the state, if not in New England. Some say we are going back, but if any are here who think so, let them get The Norwich Bulletin of January 1, 1912, and make a few com- parisons. Norwich is advancing in in- dustrial lines, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. The industry com- | mittes, upon the recommendation of , the largest financial institution in the city, appointed a committee of three raise funds for the B. L. company, and succeeded in raising $2; are sorry to report 0t a success. For the Lester & Wes- ley company, which wanted some ald, the chairman of the committee and the president of the Norwirh Business en's association have tried to raise $5,000, but were only partly successful, stock to the amount of $2,100 now be- ing for sale the company. The committee was successfu’ in arrang- ing for a lease of a plece of land which made it possible for the Me- Crum-Howell company to lease the C. B. Rogers shop,promising a large addi- tion to this thriving industry. A com- mittee was not successful in raising the capital for W. C. Davenport to or- ganize a company to manufacture fire- arms, and he has located elsewhere to his own great personal advantage. At the present time several indus- tries, two of them very large, are look- ing about Norwich for a location. What the committee would like to see accomplished by the Connecticut com- pany in the very near future is the placing of sidings for several manu- facturing concerns in the city and a loop from Trading Cove north through East Great Plain. This would open up A large tract of land for industries that Tequire sidings Transporation and Public Works. John T. Young, whose report was read by the secretary,, reported for the transportation committee that it had secured a new walk at the Central Vermont station, had taken up the matter of high steps on trolley cars, the Shetucket stret extenslon for the car line had been secured, more ship- ping and track faollities for freight asked for, and other matters taken up. Two maiters had been before the public improvements committee, re- ported Chairman John D. Hall, the first on the Bhetucket street smoke nuisance, and the widening of Little Water street, The first is still under discussion with the railroad offical but the credit for the widening that is to be done at Little Water street is entirely due to the board of trade, He thought if it cost $30,000 te widen the street, the assessers ougmt to sit up nd take motice that adioining proper- ty in that street is worth $30,000 more. Other Committess Report, W. B. Young reported for the legis- lative committee that there had been no cause for action and censequently none taken. For the civic esmmittee, A. A. Brown~ ing reperted on the playgrounds move- ment, on which an organization had been’ formed in the city and a fine start in the movement made. He also spoke of a complaint received by the cammittee of vehicles blocking up Falls avenue near the Central Vermont sta- tion. Abundant Water, R. S.

He mentioned 41 new buildings erected in the year, and a $100,000 gain in dwell- ings on the tax lisf, stores gaining about the same amount, while mills and manufactories remained about the same as last year and land decreased $100,000.

Coal is seventy-five cents a ton more there than at New York or New Lon- don. Terminal of Grand Trunk. New London is the terminal of ihe Grand Trunk railroad, a road which can send freight on its own steel (o Chicago and other points in the far west without change of cars. It is now building the greatest stretch of railroad in the world—over 3,080 miles across the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We have also the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad here, which under the splendid and ag- "gressive management of President Mel- len has practically absorbed, with one exception, all the rallroads of New England. In addition to this, it has friendly relations with the other great railroad of Canada, the Canadian Pa- cific. When you stop and think of the natural growth of this country and the wonderful growth of our nelghbor to the north, Canada, in the development of her millions on millions of acres upon which the foot of man has never trod, the truth,.of Charles M. Hayes' remark is apparent. Mr, Hayes was approached by a correspondent of a Providence paper with the question whather Providence would be the main terminal of the Grand Trunk road, and in reply said: “Yeung man, when the Grand Trunk line is finlshed from the Atlantic to the Pacifio, there will not be ports enough on the Atlantic coast to handle our business.” Nearer Europe. New London is frem eight to twelve hours nearer Europe than New York. As far as passengers and express {reights are concerned, & vessel could be docked at New London, passengers landed and sent on express trains to New York and arrive in New York five hours earlier than the ship could touch the dock at New York. We have the money for the erection of large piers, which will be equipped with the most up-to-date appliances for hand- ling freight in the world. When these are available, the economy of using Neow London will induce shipping an- terprises to seek pler space here. The delay in loading and unloading in New York reduces the number of trips each ship can make, with consequent de- crease in earning capacity. In New London there would be no port charges, Also the saving of coal on one trip would be a considerable sum. Large of the playgrouncs association, THERMOS BOTTLE CO. Provided, sistance.
