The maximum draft which could be cafrried June 30, 1912, to Allyns Point was 20 feet; from thence to Nor- wich, 13 feet; amd in the Shetucket river, 12 feet to the, town dock. The mean range of tide is 2.6 feet at New London and 3.1 feet at Nor- wich. The reported tonnage for the calen- dar year 1911 amounted: to 480,445 short toms, mainly coal, steamboat freight and lumber, valued at $7,063,- 798.39. . | The work done has reduced the cost of transportation by enabling freight to be brought in vessels of 16 and 22 foot draft instead of 8 foot draft. The river commerce of the present day could not be carried ex- cept for the increased depths thus obtained. For the purpose of maintaining the improvement the repair of the three lower training walls, Mohegan, Trad- ing Cove and Long Rock, should be undertaken, and the amount which can ‘be profitably expended for this work in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1814, 1s $12,000.

Bill. Action on two temperance measures was taken at the meeting of temper- ance men in Hartford Tuesday after- noon, under the auspices of the Con- necticut Temperance union. There was a thorough discussion on the restriction of saloons to not more than one for each 1,000 residents in a town. It was said that Connept- icut was far behind other states in this matter. A committee was appointed to draft a bill in accordance with this sentiment. The committee is com- posed of Judge A. McClellan Mat- thewson, the Rev, Clarence H. Barber of Danielson and:- the Rev. Dr. Henry M. Thompson of Hartford. The other measure considered was the establishment of a state farm for inebriates. The measure has been before the general assembly several times, but each time the committee has reported that more important re- formatory matters should be first con- sidered. With the colony for epilep- tics ang the state reformatory near- ing establishment, the temperance men feel sure that a state farm bill will recefye ‘favorable consideration in the mext legislature. It is said that a farm could. be established for about $50,000 and that the feasibility of the plan has beéen proved. A committee was appointed to draft a bill, com- posed of Stanley W. Edwards of this city, Dr. F. H. Barnes of Stamford, Judge Edgar M. Warner of Putnam, Dr. H, M, Pollick, superintendent of the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane, and Charles P. Kellogg of Waterbury, secretary of . the state board of charities. A. O. H. STATE BOARD. Takes Action on Marriage Question— J. J.
