) NORWICH BULLETIN; FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912 KITEMAUG LIGHT AND POWER PLANT Legislature Will be Petitioned For Charter — To Fumhh Electric Current in Towns of Montville, Waterford and at Gales Ferry—W. B. Walker, F. W. Browning and C. W. Comstock on Application For Charter. If a petition to come before the next s#ssion of the legislature is granted the banks of the Thames river will haye one more industrial plant added to Those already located along this fine waterway for commercial purposes. A petition for a charter for the Kitemaug | Ilectric Light and Power company is to be presented when the session of the | general assembly convenes at Hart- ford in January. The petition asks for a charter granting power to install, construet and operate an electric light and power company in the towns of Montville, Waterford and Ledyard. Those - ing the petition are William E. Walke; who is the president of the American Thermos Bottle company, Frank W. Browning and Charles W. Comstock. Mr. Comstock also appears as attor- ney for the petitioners. Mr." Browning, it was the telephone, was in New York Thu day evening, but Attorney Comstoc said that the plant of the company stated over | } was intended to be located in Mont- | ville on the banks of the Thames river and on property of the Kite- maug Orchard company, and that a i steam plant would be put up. It was | the purpose of the company to manu- facture electricity for the purposes of ‘l ht, heat, and power in the,towns { mentioned. The town of Ledyard would be reach- |ed by a cable under the river and the | village of Gales Ferry was looked up- lon as a place that would be supplied | by the company. Montville and Water- | ford would also furnish a good field for | its product. He could not tell what | sized plant would be put up as that !'would depend largely upon how many ipeople it was found would make use | of the electricity they produced. The petition has been presented be- fore Judge Shumway of the superior i fqund that the adverse st of more than twenty in so that he has ordered the notice of the pendency of the petition be published, according to law. spiring and went to the hearts of ail present. E An old gentleman in the congregation nearly 90 years of age, stood up and said that at last he had found the truth, for which he had been looking and praying for many years. This scene of the old man confessing his new found love for the Christ was very touching, and shows in a measure the good that the Salavtion Army officers arc doing about the city. A Another service will be held in the church tonight (Friday), and a large attendance is expected. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Friends Celebrated W dnesday ‘Evan- ing With Miss ian Austin. Wednesday evening about twenty friends of Miss Lillian Austin gathered at the home of Mrs. Rose Rowell on Church street, where a pleasant even- ing was passed in honor of Miss Aus- tin’s birthday. Several piano solos were rendered by Miss Austin and singing was enjoyed by all during the evening. Games also helped to pass the time pleasantly, and at 10 o'clock all adjourned to the dining room, where a bountiful lunch of sandwiches, cake, coffee and ice cream was served by Mrs. Rowell, assisted by Miss Rose Morrissey. The party broke up at a late hour and all voted that it was an evening that will be remembered for some time. Sues for Divorce. Henry C.
