Perkins Elected by Di in Reorganizing Norwich At a meeting of the directors of the Shore Line Electric Railway company held on Saturday last Robert W. Per- kins, treasurer and general manager of the Norwich and Westerly - Traction company, was elected president of the Shore Line Blectric Co. which com- pany is soon to -take over the New London division of the Connecticut company. The first announcement of the sale of the Connecticut company’s Eastern Connecticut trolley lines to the Shore Line Electric Rallway company, con- | trolled by Morton F. Plant of Groton, Conn., seemed: to be a matter of gen- eral interest to the state, but not of particular or vital interest to Nor- wich. Norwich the Cente: The election of Mr, Perkins as exec- utive head of this property discloses the fact that Norwich Is to be the cen- ter from which all the so-called Plant | lines are to be operated. The general offices are te be in Norwich, and as the dominant ownership is in New | London county this community will | have the great advantage, quite un- usual In 8o large a system, of having | its electrically equipped transportation facilities controlled and operated by men whose interests are identical with those of the public they serv Properties Taken Over. The properties that will, through this consolidation, come under one manage- ment are the Shore Line Electric Rail- way company with its western ter- minus at the New York, New Hayen and Hartford railway station in New Haven, extending east along the shore to Saybrook Junction, and to the east side of the Conmmecticut river, then north to Deep River, serving North Branford, Guilford, East River, Madi- son, Westbrook, Centerbrook, Ivoryton, Deep River, and other iniermediate points. The New London and East Lyme Street Railyay company, now operat- ing from New London to East Lyme and Niantie, has in process of con- struction an _extension to the new bridge over the Connecticut, where connection will be made with the Shore Line, making possible through service from New Haven to New Lon- don. The properties to be taken over from the Connecticut company are what is known as the New -London division, and include the New London city line, the Montville Street Railway company, SHORE LINE ELECTRIC PRESIDENT Will be Operated From Norwich as a Center—New Of- fice For Mr. Perkins is Recognition of His Achievement Plant Line l and Westerly.

Mr. Plant a Constructionist. Mr. Plant, who holds the controliing | interest in these properties, is a con- structionist, building up and develop- | ng to their highest efficiency every- | thing in which he is interested, and it | is safe to assume that these railway ! properties will be made prominent fac- | tors in the development of the terri- | tory they cover and that (hc service will be all that the conditions will warrant. Mr. Perkins Reorganized Norwich and Westerly. Mr. Perkins, the executive head of the operating company, was selected for this important office because of the excellent results accomplished by him in the reorganization and upbuilding of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company. When this property was purchased by the bondholders’ com- mittee, in July, 1911, Mr. Perkins wa elected by the new owners treasurer and general manager. It has since tak- en over. by purchase, the Pawcatuck Valley Streeet Railway company, and purchased all of the common stock of the Groton and Stonington Street Rail- | way company, bringing those proper- ties under its operation. with results that are satisfactory to the public and gratifying to the owners. SPRING PARADES CHANGED TO THE FALL. Guardsmen Will Then Receive Instruc- | tion in War Methods. Spring parades of the Connecticut National guard will hereafter be held in the fall. This will do away with the term Wpring, of course, and the actual parading by which the name of the annual event was suggested was eliminated several years ago. The designation fleld day may be more fittingly applied. The oid time spring parade of the guardsman was the May day on which he donned uniform and accoutrement and marched off for drill, guard mounting, rifie practice and a chowder dinner under the trees. The dinner | was far more jmportant than the drill- ing and an essential feature of the dinner was usually bottled beer. Then the state took the matter up. provided | that no intoxicants hould be served, | and that the food should conform to | rations issued to soldiers in the fleld. "This barred -the clam chowder. Spring | parade was eventually devoted to practical instruction and the idea of parading was divorced from it. Mod ernly equipped companies with a few hours' preparation. it was found, could take to the field, prepare food and march or have {arget practice under the same conditions for one day as would prevail if the company was on a longer tour of duty. Very soon there was faund to be no time for a game of baseball after dinner because the rifle practice and squad drills con- sumed the time. Now the field days will be outlined in accordance with a regular army plan. The coast artillerymen wiil have their small arms practice out of | doors on that day in late September | or early October which is 1 vet to be | designated. The guardsmen will shoot under conditions conducive of training for actual warfare. They will not be expected to stand exposed to view to an imaginary ene- my at the target, but will fire in kneel- ing and prone positions at 200 and 300 yards, distances at which the most ef- Tective shooting would be done. The courses are A and D, in the latier the targets being silhousttes. The change from the timed firing and exacting position firing, which would be difficult to put in practice in actual warfare, 1o the practical instructions, is considered beneficial by local officers.
