Chippendale had always claimed that he wasn't responsible for the girls condition. Judge Searls sald he had glven no promise to Chippendale of immunity. He told the court that Chippendale was entitled to consider- n by reason of the fact that he had been so helpful to the state. In fact, he would have been satisfled with a jail sentence.

His death occurred in Johns Hopkins hos- pital at Baltimore just before 12 o'clock Saturday night, the result of an opera- tion for kidney trouble. Mr. Shahan was 82 years, 5 months and 8 days old.

The December meeting of the Nor- wich Board of Trade, held Monday evening in the board rooms in the Shannon bullding and _attended by about 3 members, voted in favor of the annexation of Sunnyside and a part of Norwich Town to the city lim- its. These were the extensions recom- mended by the committee which had bad the matter under advisement. The same committee reported ad- versely to extending the town limits to Poquetanuck Cove or even bringing in the territory where now is located the Norwich state hospital. The meeting was called to order by President J. D, Haviand, and after Secretary Henry W, Tibbits had read his minutes of the = previous meeting which were approved, the name of James D. Rough was proposed and voted in as a new member, President Haviland stated that Mr. Rough's ex- perience in trving to find & small cot- tage house to live in was an indication that Norwich needed more medium siz- ed cottage houses for renting. Report from Committee. Chairman J. T. Fanning of the spe- cial committee appointed at the last meeting on the matter of extending city and town limits by annexation then made the report for his commit- tee, which comprised besides himselt Charles S. Holbrook, Thomas H. Beck- ley and Frank H, Smith. Chairman Fanning reported as follows: To the Norwich Board of Trade: Your committee, appointed at the last meeting, to consider the matter of ex- tending the city and town limits, begs leave to report that it has held several meetings as well as informal confer- ences for the purpose of studying all sides of this important subject, and that in a general way it has tried to determine what the different results might be of changing preserit condi- tions, having in mind the purpose of making no recommendation which would not promise positive advantages for the community. It is difficult to give much thought to this subject without coming to the consideration of four proposttions: 1. To have the same limits for town and city, 2. To bring into the cify ~all the thickly portions of the community— Norwich Town, Yantic, Taftville, Oc- cum and the Sunnyside section, leav- ing what might be designated as the agricultural portions outside of the city boundaries 3. To add to the town the territory wherein the, state hospital is located, mainly for the purpose of taking what is, in the actual businesg view of the situation, a Norwich institution away from an adjoining town and having it actually located in the town which gives it its title. 4. To attach to the city only those thickly settled sections which are able to all appearances part of the city al- ready, viz, Sunnyside, whose people are petitioning for admittance, and Norwich Town, which should offer no resistance to any attempt which may be made to annex it to the eity. The committee is not disposed to recommend the adoption at the present time of either of the first three plans; and it does not feel that it is neces- sary to give en extended statement of the reasons which have made it take that position in regard to those phases of the subject. There is a great deal in the first and second plans to com- | mend them, and the committee con- fesses its inability to foresee. any hard; ship or serious public disadvantage in their adoption; but, as already sug- gested, it is considered best to defer for the present any plans which would relate to these particular changes, which are regarded by some as being too radical, although fears of this kind are, in the opinion of the commitiee, clearly unwarranted. The committee does not recommend taking action for extending the town limits to the Poquetanuck Cove nor even bringing in oply the territory where the state hospita] is located. Either extension would involve the care by this town of additional high- ways, and the former arrangement would probably mean the early if not immediate construction of a costly bridge. It is hardly fair to the town of Norwich to attempt to add to pres- ent burdens for the sake of advantages which are impressive mainly through considerations of sentiment Your committee favors the annexa- tion of Sunnyside to the city and also of the part of the town which is em- braced in what is usually called the Norwich Town section, which takes in the more or less populous district lying northerly of the city line and extending to' the Yantic river where it crosses the highway just beyond Bean HIIL The committes regrets that on account of the limited time in which this mat- ter had to be dealt with it has been practically impossible to state with ac- ocuracy what the city's gain woulld be from these additions | ntaxable estate and population; but in a general way all the members of the board of trade are sufficiently familiar with the ex- tenit of the sections under considera- tion, and all other matters relating to the same which would make them de- sirable accesslons to the city. At Buns nyside the part of the town which would be added is, roughly, in the form of a rectangle, about a half mile long and of the same width, measuring from the river. In this spate are in- cluded the many residences which have 2 valuable portion of our community, The Nerwich Town addi- tien should be mtade to _include the property lying easterly of the Yantie river, for such spaee as weuld bring in substantially all the residential and business property in that neghberneod. If these recommendations are fav- ered by the beard of trade it will be necesgary te act premptly in the mat- ter of preparing preper notices for ad- vertisement in a local newspaper, as these changes would be brought about by amendment of the city charter, for which publicatien at least three weeks before the beginning of the legislative session to which it is preferred is made necessary by state law. ©Offers to Talk on System. Before the repert was acted upen, Rutherford C. Plaut spoke of the presence in the city of Ewald R. Van Hornig, an industrial _systematizing expert, who was willing'to give a talk before the board upon systematization. ‘Phe pffer was received with interest and the matter was left with the pres- ident. Annexation Report Accepted. The report of the special committee | on annexation was voted accepted. At- torney Fanping explained further in connection with the matter of annex- ation that peeple have been afraid of making city and two limits ideatica] because of tax ploblems, but he said he could foresee mo great trouble for Norwich as with other communities this matter had been made very light. He sald the committee had discussed but not favored the taking in of all sections which had a city appearance, such as Yantle, Occum and lower Thamesville. He said the committee had not favored adding the state hos- ital territory to the town Iimits. Q'hm was immediate commercial gain and it t raise the taxes. The committes Yoo sy free to recom- mend that the city endeavor to secure the annexation of Supnyside and Nor- wich Town, The latter'’s limils wept | | ! to the river and bridge. A more par- ticular designation of boundaries would be needed for the advertisement about annexation. Mr. Fanning acknowledged the help of Bhepard B. Palmer in making plans. He said it had been impossible to get detalls of population, area or agsessable value property which would be added to the city by the proposed additions, Answered Questions. To a question -from E. A. Tracy, Mr. Fanning said the two territories to be annexed would probably both be in- cluded in the same petition. To A. A Browning he said he did not know the sentiment of the Norwich Town people and he did not know what the senti- ment in Preston was about taking the hospital ~ property. Mr. Browning's question indicated that he judged the Preston people were against the town of Norwich taking in the hospital site. Advises Aveiding Friction. E. A. Tracy spoke in favor of a city policy which should take action with as little friction as possible. He ad- vocated making two petitions for an- nexation, one to include Sunnyside and the other to include Norwick Town. He felt that there would be opposition from Norwich Town, but if the Sunnyside petition were separate it could go through with little delay or opposition. Mr. Tracy spoke a good word for the way Norwich was lighted, saying that its streets generally were much lighter than those in New York and Boston, and Mr. Tracy concluded by moving that the Board of Trade ap- Drove thé angexation of Sunnyside. Thermos Company Heartlly in Faver. Fr:eder]ck ‘W. Cary spoke ,of the coming of the American Thermos Bot- tle company to its Laurel Hill location and he read the following letter from the Thermos company president, which was greeted with applause: Norwich, Conn., Dec. 7, 1912. Board of Trade, Norwich, Conn.: Gentlemen: We note in the Norwich papers that the question of extending the city limits is under discussion, If it is the intention to extend the city line so as to include within the city proper the new Thermos plant on Laurel Hill, the taxes of which'we are under contract to pay, then we beg to advise you that we are strongly in favor of the measure. We believe that the benefits to be derived will more than compensate for any increase in the tax rate. We understand it is hoped to build up the city along the river towards New London, and as this is the first step in that direction, there is every reagon why we should be in favor of it and no reason why we should op- pose 1t. Very truly yours AMERICAN THERMOS BOTTLE COMPANY, WILLIAM B. WALKER, President. Per The New Territorv. At this point Civil Engineer Shepard B. Palmer was called upon to explain from a map a tentative layout of what might be included in the Sunnyside and Norwich Town annexation. At Sunnyside the new projected city line would be far enough south to take in the Spicer residence and run east t¢ the Preston line. The additional territory to be taken in at Norwich Town would be includ- ed in a line which would begin at the city line on Asylum street and run up the Yantic river to the bridge at West Town street. From the bridge the line would run to the Avery Bros. place at Bean Hill, taking in the barn and icehouses, but leaving out the ice- houses. The line from here would run about 500 feet back from West Town street down as far as the Con- gregational church at Norwich Town green, then to the Gulliver house on Scotland road, taking that into the city limits, and from there to the northwest corner of Mohegan park, which is the present city line. Urges Town and City in One. Charles H. Haskell said he believed the opposition in Norwich Town was gradually diminishing. He had for- merly lived there and he gave it as his opinion that this annexation was to raise our city taxes considerably, and he spoke for a complete consolidation of city and town on the grounds of economical management. Step in the Right Direction. C. D. Noyes endorsed the report of the committee, saying it was a step in the right direction, “and he spoke strongly In favor of consolidation of city and town. He showed how the consolidation of city and town in New London had worked to its advantage and against Norwich in making a showing of population by the United States census figures, which are what strangers and busines house judge us Y. The city of Norwich was now giving Norwich Town water and lighting, and was probably paying two-thirds of the lighting bills there. Norwich Town was nlso asking and recelving fire protection from the city. But the place to fight this out and adjust thes claims, concluded Mr. Noyes, was in the legislature, where it could be heard before a committee which would hear both sides and the side which had the Dbest argument would win. In further comment upen the matter of water at Norwich Town, Mr. Palmer stated that the city water new went as far as Adam's tavern and there had recently been a petition te have it ex- tended tp the bridge at West Tewn street over the Yantic river. B. . Tracy's metien {o approve the annexatien of Bunnyside was amend- ed by C. D. Noyes to include Nerwich Town and Bean Hill Mr, Tracy spoke again agaimst put- ting the twe sections in the same pe- titien, saying that he believed results would be better gained by having sep- arate petitions, but Mr. Noyes raised the point that the section agalnst which oppesition was shown could be dropped, if necessary, when it get be- fore the legislature. Buperintendent Corkery Speaks. ‘Water Superintendent J, J. Cerkery made some explanations on the water question, say.ng that it was 'a peculiar situation where the Sunmyside peeple got city water without any extra charge and favered annexation, while the people of Norwich Town paid an extra two mill tax in additionl to reg- ular rates for water and yet were op- posed to amnexation. Vote in Faver. Fhe vote was in favor of the amend- ed motion. On motion af Frederick W. €ary the committee was continued to take the necessary further steps in the annexa- lon matter, the name of Shepard B. almer” dded to the committee, and was zrecelved by them. President Havfland brought up the point that fhe board of trade was to co-operate with’ the common coumcil, and Corporation Counsel Fanning said that he did not anticipate there would be any conflict between the two bod- ies on this matter. Report on New Industries. Secretary Tibbits rted for the new industries commitiee on the ne- gotlations for the coming here from ‘Worcester of the Jdeal Pants company, which is to lgcate in the Davenport bullding, as alresdy stated. The con- cern markets it preduct in Chicago. President Haviland reminded the board that there had been unusual ex- penses this year, which made it desir- able to keep the funds in the treasury at "vod figure, and as 23 members had forgotten to pay thelr dues, he asked that they do so at their early convenience. ) The meeting adjourned after a ses- slon of & litle oyer an hour. J'wo members, heeded President Haviland's sadmonition and paid Becretary Tibbits thelr dues, v $300 JUDGMENT IN f COMMON PLEAS COURT Wulf & Lampert Given This Sum with Costs in Suit Against Max Silverman, i It was motion day here on Monday afternoon in the court of common pleas and Judge Charles B.
