IN HER 99TH YEAR. Death of Mrs. Margaret Kibbe Moore of Springfield, Aunt of Mrs. Fannie C. Church of Norwich—Native of North Somers, Mrs, Fannie C. Church of the pro- bate office received word Wednesday of the death, late Tuesday evening, of her aunt, Mrs. Margaret Kibbe Moors, at her home, 140 Spring street, Spring- field, Mass. Although 98 years and ¢ months, Mrs. Moors had been in ex- cellent health until within a short time. Mrs. Church was called to her bedside on Saturday, remaining till Monday. When she left, Mrs, Moore was conscious, but she died at 11 o'clock Tuesday night. She had frequently visited Norwich, being sister of Mrs. Church's mother, Mrs. Prentice. The Springfield Union says of her’ She had lived in her home, 140 Spring street, for more than fifty years. She was the oldest member of the First Congregational church, but when the Olivet church was formed she went with it and was one of the few char- ter members living. Mrs, Margaret Moore was born in North Somers, Conn., Feb. 9, 1814. She was the daughter of Major General Amariah Kibbe and Charlotte McKin- ney Kibbe. Her father was a member of the old home guards of Connecticut, in which he rose to the rank of major general. She lived in North Somers, Conn, umtil she was 22, receiving her education in that place. When 22 she married Willlam Moore of this cit: and came here on her wedding day. Except for two years soon after her marriage, when she went to Hartford, Conn,, to live, she had resided in this city ever since. Her memory was good, and she recalled many things about Springfield in the 40s. In all she had lived in Springfield 72 years. Mr, Moore lived until his 60th year, dying in 1874, Four children were born to them. Mrs, Adelalde Earle Moore Mannering, widow of David Mannering of New York city, is the only surviving daughter, There are no grandchildren. Two sisters are also living, Mrs. Francinia Burt of Waltham, who is eight ‘years younger than Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Augusta Woodman of Walnut street, this city, who is 12 years younger. Mrs. Moore was one of 13 children. OBITUARY. Mrs. Freeborn G. Wright. On Wednesday, Mrs. Myra Dexter Wright, wife of Freeborn G. Wright, die dat her home in Hartford, follow- ing an operation. She had been iil but a short time. She was a native of Chester and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Willlam Foy. She was twice married, her first husband, who lived but three vears after their marriage, being John Dexter. For a time she resided in Danielson. Seventeen years ago she married Mr. Wright and has since resided in Hartford. She is survived by her husband and one son, Dr. F. F, Dexter. Antique Hunter Here. G. U. Blanchfield of Paterson, N.

Dwyer has returned from two weeks' vacation at Suggestions For R s T P Concerning the new street improve- ments that are shortly to be started about the city, there has been much discussion, and while the thorough- fares in question' all need treatment, there has been some difference of opinion as to cost and construction. In regard to the proposed improve- ments on Fraunklin street, the opinion of Deputy State Highway Imspector John Donovan, of this city, formerly street commissioner, and with much experience in the building of roads, was asked for his opinion on Thurs- day night, and while not criticising the present administration and their plans, Mr. Donovan had some inter esting suggestions to make. Five years ago, Mr. Donovan said, the question of\ paving came up in Norwich between Preston bridge and Franklin square, and a special com- mittee of three, Dr. N. B. Lewis, John T. Young and Clarence D. Sevin were appointed by the court of common council to consider the matter. sample of such pavement s shown and the committee was favorably im- pressed, until they were shown a elip- ping from a Derby paper stating how many horses fell there on a similarly paved street. Upon further investi- gation the committee decided not to recommend the Hassam paving and instead they favored brick. Pavement Like Granolithic Sidewalk. This Hassam pavement is a mixture of crushed stone and Portland cement, prepared in a mixer or on a board, the same as concrete and placed in position and then relled. Cement, when placed, Mr, Donevan said, shoula never be disturbed during the proc of setting, as it breaks the bond disintegrates. This Hassam is mixed the same as are wal the preparation used in side is called granolithic. Such a walk can and vement but be seen on Shannon’s corner on Main street. The Hassam pavement, if laid, will become just as smooth, no ma ter how rough it Is laid after tk teams has ironed it down. Another Objection is Subgrade. Another objection to it in Franklin street is the subgrade of the road. The material underlying Franklin square and up the street is a very fine sand. The jar from the street railway cars is continually causing that founda- tion to shift, as any one can see by observing the depressions in the brick pavement which has been laid in the square. That settling, as the result of the jar, caused the foundation and thus the brick to settle, causing the small pools to be seen in the brick ‘work. The depth of this subgrade ig to my personal knowledge 17 feet, so that it is useless to get down to a solid foun- dation. Brick, Wood or Redressed Granite Best. The best thing for the street would be brick or wooden blocks or ,to have the present granite blocks redressed and relaid on a bed of concrete, and the joints flushed with concrete. That would make Franklin street equal to the lower end of Bank street, New London, where tke traffic and the con- ditions are similar. The cheapest thing would probably be a bitulithic pave- ment made of crushed stone and bond- ed with either Trinidad asphalt or coa’ tar. Such a road, however, would not Highway Inspector John Donovan Points Out Defects in Proposed Hassam Pavement — Will Soon Wear as Smooth as a Sidewalk and Sandy Foundation Not Suit- able—New London and Derby Had Trouble. New Franklin St be as durable as brick, wooden or granite blocks, Highway Inspector Donovan's opin- ion is supplemented by the experience of road men in other citles. On June 15, Mr. Donovan wrote the following letter to Street Commissioner Court- land Darrow of New London: Dear Sir: I understand your city has had a piece of Hassam pavement laid in your city. Will you kindly answer by return mail if this Hassam is satis- factory? 1 understand there are holes in this Hassam road. Will you kint ly answer the following questions «nd oblige? ours, DONOVAN. Norwich Conn. Is this pavement slippery? Are there any holes in this road? Would you recommend the use of Hassam on a principal street with heavy traffic and a car track in the center? Has your city laid any Hassam within five years, and if not, why not? | Has your city experienced any trouble with Hassam? If vou have, please state what the trouble was. New London's Experience. Two days later he received this re- ply: New London, Conn., June 17, 1912. Mr. John Donovan, Norwich, Conn. Dear Sir Replying to your letter relative to the Hassam pavement which was laid in this city about five vears ago, would say that after about two vears' wear, the surface, which was on about a five to six per cent grade, became quite slippery, so that we cut grooves across the pavement about every four inches to afford a better foothold. There are some holes in the pav ment, although this is confined to a small portion near one end. From our experience I should not recommend it for very heavy although for light traffic, it might answer admirably traffic and automobiles on not laid any more of this pavemen:, because the streets paved during the last few years have mnot been adapted to this class of pave- ment. The principal fault we find with this ement is its tendency to wear slip- Yours very K truly, R. DARROW. Derby Against Hassam Pavement. Replying to the same questions, Street Commissioner M. H. Manion of Derby, which has had . the Hassam pavement, wrote that the pavement was slippery, that it contained holes, and that he would not recommend Nor- wich to use it on a principal street with a car track in the middle. Derby had laid no more of the Hassam pave- ment within flve years, because it was too slippery. From his own experience, therefore, and from that of road builders in gen- eral, Mr. Donovan believes that care- ful consideration should be given to the matter before the Hassam pave- ment is put it. Tt will be much easier to lay it than to tear it out. FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED TO WEST MAIN STREET Smouldering Rags Caused Small Fire Just Across from Station. A bell alarm from box 14 called out the fire department at 5.40 Thursday afternoon for a small blaze in the block owned by Abraham Jacobson on West Main street, opposite the West Main street fire station. It is a tene- ment building occupied by about a | dozen families, and the fire, though insignificant and resulting in only a fow dollars’ damage, resulted in con- siderable of an uproar in that quarter. | Plumbers had been at work in the bullding and the smoke came from a smouldering pile of o0id rags lying near a bath tub, The rags had probably been quietly burning for some time before they burst inte flame, The blaze ate its way inte the wail nearby, and the firemen had te do a little chopping into the weodwork to get at the blaze,r Then the fire was quickly extinguished with chemieal from Chemical No, 2 and from the aute- chemical, which was there enly a few | seconds after the men from just across the street. By the time the whole apparatus was on hand the fire was put out, This was the second alarm of the month, the first having been a tele- phone alarm on Tuesday for a fire in a pile of sawdust below the Dawley lumber yards. The automobile chem- ical was sent down, but the blaze was put out by the firemen by means of water dipped from the river. The sawdust was evidently set on fire by sparks from a passing locomotive.

Barge Captain Was Arrested. and Fin- ed for Obstreperous Conduct. | Holding in vain to the technicality that he was “on the high seas” when his barge was moored 12 feet from Central warf, in the Thames river, and | that therefore he was beyond the arm of the law as far as the Norwich po- lice were concerned, Captain Willlam Roe, hailing from Lewiston, Me., was brought to headquarters Wednesday night, charged with intoxication and breach of the peace, by Sergeant Mat- thews and Officer Thomas Murphy. The city statutes indicate that the Nor- wich police have jurisdiction over the river down as far as Poquetanuck Cove and from its mouth across the river northwesterly to the Norwich and Montville boundary. In the city court the captain was fined $2 and costs for each charge, and he left with a clearer knowledge of one phase of maritime law. Evan Evans, charged with non-sup- | port, agreed to contribute $8 a week for the care of his family of minors out of his earnings of $24 a week as a mason.
