President Frank H. Smith in opening the post-prandial exercises expressed his pleasure and pride at the evident success which was attending this initial dinner of the assoiation, and referred to the development in many lines that had attended the Norwich association from its original _start along the idea of a collection agency. Fle referred to the increasing part tha' | business men were taking in legisla- | tion, through the State Business Men's association, which President Smith said was a commendable development Mayor Murphy Speaks. The president introduced ~Mayor Murphy as the first speaker, a member of the association, who had been given the highest homors in the city, and was makine good in his position. The toastmaster and the mayor were greeted with applause, to which Mavor Murphy responded as follows: Mr. Presidert: Tt is with great pleasure tmat T am here tonight at this banquet of the Business Men's association of Norwich There are various matters that we could discuss, but as my time is lim- ited 1 wiil be very brief. There has been one thing lacking in Norwich for a great many year: that is, unity among ourselv ‘We | are facing today the greatest of com- petition in all branches of business, from the Jargest cities of the country. and it remains with us to always pull together, shoulder to shoulder, and make Norwich a larger city.

For He's a Jolly Good Fellow was played by the orchestra as the mayor concluded and the men rose in greet- ing to His Honor. Three Past Presidents. . Past President Thomas F. Burns was the next speaker, sketching brief- 1y the three vears of progress sinco the organization was started with numbers 5o small that every man had an office. The pioneer band num- bered eignt, whose active efforts are now given evidence In the large and active organization at present, which is recognized around the state. Past President Burns referred to the tire- less and efficient secretary, Charles W. Pearson. The organization is harmonious one and invites all citi- zens to join it. Past President Charles I. Smith fol- lowcd with an earnest but brief talk | a on the topic Our Neighbor and Our City. He developed the point of home investments by home people, putting money into circulation perhaps in small industries or in Industrial build- ings, in interest in the playgrounds association and other home interests. He concluded with a poem against knocking and In favor of boosting. Toastmaster Smith said that Past President Smith deserved commenda- tion for belng one of the boosters for | the Boswell Avenue trolley and the statement brought out applause for the past president. Past President Charles S. Fairclough was the fourth speaker, detailing some of the early experiences and hard tion and he referred to some things which were still in the works and would bear fruit in the future. These were indicated on a folder which was distributeq and were as follows: Soil survey of New London county, | one cent postage, better streets and | sidewalks, increasing of the freight | facilities and the question of the cut- ting down of the zones of the Norwich Telephone exchange. A Real Live Wire. Vice President Herbert R. Branche was designated as one of the real “live wires” when he was introAuced by the toastmaster. Vice President Branche pleased his hearers when he told them that the Norwich Business Men's as- soclation knew exactly what it want- ed and was out to get it. These in- cluded the points which Pdst Presi- dent Fairclough haq referred to. On the point of better freight fa- cilities, Vive President Branche said they were after a_new freight station at the N. Y, N. Y. & R. R. R. depot. As a result of a special trip made b: Secretary Pearson, there was alread: an addition to the freight station un- der construction. The widening of Thames street, which the speaker characterized as one of the dirtiest streets in the state, was an imperative need now, and we want cheaper gas and electricity ratce. Harvey lane should also be widened and Rose place asphalted. We should also have six trolley tickets for 2 cents. (Applause.) On thing that the association is op- posed to is the cutting down of the zones of the Norwich telephone ex- change, and the comsequent increase of the cost telephone service. Nor- wich needs also a trolley express to Putnam, and as members of the as- soclation have their dollars invested here they should be found working for everything contributing to_the im- Pprovement and prosperity of Norwich. (Applause.) New London Speaker. Humorous monologue by Prof. Frank T. Maples made a brief and accepta- bie departure from the more serious side of the evening, and Toastmaster Smith_then introduced Vice President B. B. Gardner of the New London Bus- iness Men's assoclation who spoke of what the two cities, Norwich and New London, could do for mutial helpful- ceptance by the state of the old Thames _River bridge for a highway bridge and the defeat of the attempt to take away from New London the $1,000,000 appropriation for wharves. Board of Trade President. _President J. C. Macpherson of the Norwich board of trade responded wWhen calied upon with brief mention of the co-operation which the two or- them that the matter of a new loft ing.

If we need a commission instead of a com- missioner, let us have it. Thames Street Widening. President Maepherson also strongly advocated ~the widening of Thames street, which he called the front door, the approach to the city. This street should be a credit to us, not the re- verse. The buildings eouid be bought. set back Lo widen the strect, and then Fi The speaker was' frequently applaud- ed upon each point he brought out and was followed by Henry W. Tibbits, secretary of the beard of trade, who combatted the idea that the business men of the present generation wera not of equal calibre with teaders in business life whe had passed en. The secretary extolled Norwich ae a place to live in, and saig he believed the knockers were growing less, and that Norwich had a great future before it. Ralph O. Wells of Hartford. What the State Business Men's As- seciation Has Done was the topie for Attorney Ralph O. Weils of Hartford, Who was next introduced by Tcastmas- ter Smith. Attorney Wells made a pleasing beginning with a stery about muddy reads in Virginia and Ken- tucky, and went on te say that he con- sidered that one of the best things standing to the credit of the state ws- soclation was the sgitation for (he cre- medern or’ up te date in any respect, and of course those people weuld lowk dlsewliere for lecations fer their in- dustrics ¥ Fuil Tegsther, Thercfore, gentigimen of this assecia- ton, . we must not look te whit Nor- Wich has been in the past, but we must loek te what this assaciatien, the FBeard of Trade and the peaple can do in the future te make a better and ativn of the public utilities commission.

Judge Curtis in’ the superior court at New London Tuesday _afternoo’ granted a motion for non-suit in the case of Almeda Glynn vs. the Lyceum Pheater company. Judge Curtis said he did not think the evidence Intro duced was sufficient to Supply caus for action. As soon as the testimony was com- pleted Attorney Whittlesey moved for a non-suit, claiming that evidence enough to warrant damages for the plaintift had not been shown. . Attorney G. Curtis Morgan opposed the motlon, stating that evidence had been strong enough to wurrant dam- ages. Attorney Whittlesey had that tbe lemsee, Ira W.
