FOR ADOPTION OF SIGNAL SYSTEM| BIG Special City Meeting May of New Equipment For Be Called to Present Matter Norwich Police Department— Commissioners Are Conferring With Officials in Other[ Cities and Proposed Apparatus is Highly Recommended For several weeks now the police slgnal and telegraph apparatus of the Gamewell company that was installed in the Norwich police headquarters with signal box on Young's corner on Franklin square has been tested out under actual service conditions and it has been found to glve com- plete satisfaction. During the same length of time the police commission- ers have been in communication with & number of cities where the same system is in operation in order to get their opinions of the apparatus and City Englneer Geonge E. Pitcher has been making a survey of the city for the layout of the proposed : His plans will be finished next week and then it is probable that they with the data that the police commis: ers have collected from other and the statement of the that are faced in this city lice department at the pri will be brought Dbefore a' spe meeting, at which definite ac be taken in regard to the [ In his survey of the city to deter- mine about what the mileage of the new system would be, City Engineer Pitcher has taken one line from head- quarters up Broadway to Broad, then up Crescent to Willlams avenue, and then up Sachem street to the station wf Chemical company No: 3. A gecond line was followed over to Washington square, Thames out to the corner of West Main and Maple streets, From Thames square a branch line was run down Thames mtreet as far as Shipping street, From the West Side line a branch line was surveyed down ds far as Center street on Laurel HilL Across Franklin square from Bath street, another line was surveved up Maln street and over the bridge as far as the corner of Main strest and Hamilton avenues, A Kne was run up CUff street, nlong Roath, along the raliroad tracks up by the po- nt time, al city on will oposal. conditions | square | to Fifth street, ending at the Greene- ville police station. A side line from this citreuit was extended down Oak street to the junction of Boswell ave- nue and Franklin streets. The sur- veys will glve an ldea of the thorough way in which it 1s proposed to cover the clty, although it Is not yet an- founced just where some of the vari- ous boxes will be located along the cir- cuits, The equipment that has been suggested as most suitable for the needs of a city the size of Norwich with its possibility of growth by in- corporating outlying sections, such as Norwich Town and Taftville, will be ampd sufficient for extensions, as it provides for four circuits, each capable of having twenty boxes on it. Only about ten signal boxes are planned for at present. Hartford, Meriden and New Haven are some of the cities to who mthe po- lice commi oners have written, and the police tem in the last city has been personally inspected. From Mer- | iden, which is regarded as having a | most up-to-date police department, Chief C. B, Bowen has written to Chairman William (. McLaughlin of the police commissioners, exiracts from his letter being as follows: “We have used the Gamewell police | system for more than 20 years, extend- ing it each year in a small way, until we now have nearly a sufficient num- ber of boxes. It costs a bit, but 80 does everything worth having. These little sub-stations, as you may call them, on a man’'s post where he may get In touch at any time with the office, and the office with him, are sim- ply indispensable, The policeman of intelligence and worth welcomes the police box as his next best friend, and the tape displays to the close observ- ing desk officer much more than is registered in dots an ddashes, as to the work and interest of his men. Even in our small city they are worth more than a hundred times the co | HOME FROM A YEAR OF TRAVEL AND STUDY | Albert R.

Jarly in October he settled in guaint old town of Marburg, Germany, for five months of study. The town #ccupies the steep slopes of a hill, and the narrow, crooked streets are lined with picturesque old houses.

New York, Aug. 2 The American Olympic heroes were lionized on Broadway tonight. The athletes as- sembled here, almost in the full num- ber which made up the American tour, as guests of government, state and city over the week end.

OPPORTUNITY BEST OPENING IN NEW ENGLAND BREWERY AND ICE PLANT AT PUBLIC AUCTION New London, Conn., September 3rd, 3 p. m. Brewery and lce Plant at New London, Connecticut, corner Winthrop and Mill Streets; will be sold at Public Auction, on the premises, Tuesday, September 3rd, 1912, at 3.00 p. m. This plant is located in the thriving city of New London, with no other brewery within a radius of about 50 miles. are many good cities within this radius, particularly Norwich. Shipping facilities are excellent, the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R, Central Vermont R. R. and several steamboat lines come into New London. Great piers are to be constructed at New London for ocean steamers to land. This is to be done at the expenditure of large sums of money, part of which the state will furnish. It is also understood that the Crand Trunk R. R. and Union steam- ship lines are to have new large terminals constructed at New London. Not only will the city be greatly benefited by the expenditures of money, but the great and lasting benefits to this great seaport of the near future cannot be overestimated. Owing to New London and surrounding towns having a great many summer residents, there has been a good demand for artificial ice, and a good profit can be realized from this end of the business. This plant came into the hands of present owner through mortgage foreclosure, due to improper management, and owing to other large inter- ests, he is unable to handle same. A mortgage can probably be negotiated for part payment of purchase price, if interested parties will first commun- icate with owner, setting forth their desires, experience, etc. $10,000 cash at time of sal will be announced at time of and conditions of balance tion. of payments Conneqticut is one of the most liberal states in the Union, and practi- cally free from prohibition agitation. Such a favorable location as New London for a brewery, arfigciil ice plant and public cold storage in a thickly settied, energetic, prosperous section of New England, with thriving industries throughout Connecticut, with no other brewery with- in such a large radius, affords an exceptional opportunity for some one who understands the business, or for a combination of men who control an output of the plant, a number of liquor dealers could associate them- selves and brew their own Ale and Lager, saving the brewer's and middle- man's profits for themselves.

Charles Jacobus, father of roque, of- ficial editor of the game in America and for 37 years past identified with the pastime in Norwich, made a felici- tous addre: quoting a poet to give expression to his sentiments regarding the Rose of New England. He intro- duced Mayor Timothy C. Murphy, who ex his heartiest welcome in of and for the people of the city, mentioned his regret at the un- fortunate weather that had attended the tournament, and hoped that the newer members of the roque associa- tion might receive the same impres- sion of the city as have the older, for Norwich wants the National Roque asso President ~ Williamson gracefully presented by Prof. Jacobus as a prominent attorney of Washing ton, D.
