DID YOU FORGET THAT WEDDING GIFT? Those friends of yours are to~ be married next week and you forgot to send a present!

Expressions of enthusiastic endorse- ment were given on Friday evening at the meeting of the Norwich Business Men’s assoclation to the plan which they are endeavoring to forward in having the New Haven road see the desirability of building the so-called Versailles cut-off to connect the lines of the Norwich and Worcester division and the Providence to Willimantic dli- vision. i Delegations were present from the Business Men's associations of New London and Willimantic when Presi- dent Frank H. Smith called the meet- ing to order at the Buckingham Me- morial, where there was an attendance of 75 men. . In opening the subject of the meet- ing after brief remarks by President Frank H. Smith, Herbert W. Branche presented the following preamble and resolution: ‘We live in an age of progress—old methods are giving away to new ones —old ideas are being discarded. The old way of doing business is inade quate. In no way is this more notice* able than in water and land transpor- tation. Curves are being straightened on all up-to-date railroads. Cut-offs are being built wherever feasible, in order that time and distance “which spells economy” may be saved. Great harbor improvements. Ocean terminals vieing one with another in a struggle for Big Business. The building of the Panama canal is the greatest example of space an- nihilation, or saving of distance, that has been accompiished in modern times. What applies in Big Business is just as applicable in a lesser sensc in small business. Here in Norwich we are put to great inconvenience, annoyance and ‘loss of time for want of better railroad service between here and the capitol city of the state, Hart- ford. Realizing that little can be done individually, collectively, united and moveq by common purpose much may be accomplished.. We have a plan to unfold here this evening that we feel is economical. practical and feasible, and in line with the march of pro- gress of the rest of New England, and fully warranted by the large amount of new business to be gained. Resolution Resolved: That the Norwich Bus- iness Men's Association, Inc. favor and encourage the building of a three mile cut-off between Taft's Tunnel and Versailles, or points adjacent thereto in the town of Lisbon, the building of which will place Norwich on the main line between New London, Williman- Manchester, Rockville, Hartford, gfield and points north and west, and be it Resolved: That the building of this cut-off is but another link along lines tending towards the industrial and commercial upbuilding of New Eng- land, carrying to compleiion a part of that great work the state of Con- necticut; through an act of its legis- lature, has so magnanimously made possible by its appropriation of one provement at New London, which when completed will permit foreign steamship lines to discnarge their vast an be it further Resolved. That this association ex- tend to the president and board of di- rectors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, every encouragement and assistance possible in the end that this much needed con- nection may be speedily built. Mayor Murphy Speaks. When it was seconded President Smith invited the expression of opin- ion and first calleg on Mayor T. C. The mayor endorsed the resolution as bringing up something that Nor- wich and other towns around here had been looking for for many years. It was time now for eastern Connect- icut to pull all together and we must grasp every opportunity. The pro- posed cut-off of 8 to 4 miles would save 20 miles of trackage. Mayor Murphy praised the Norwich troiley system and decried the policy of “knocking” the New Haven road. It would be better to praise it. We cer- | tainly have very obliging railroad of- | ficials here, sald the mayor. With the assistance of Willimantic and New London, the mayor thought there was : a_possibility of inducing the building | of the road. Is a Feasible Project. President Smith enlarged upon the practicability of. this railroad propo- | sition, and introduced President Ern- est E. Rogers of the New London Business Men's association. Mr. Rog- ers expressed confidence in the judg- ment of the Norwich association in deciding that this was a feasible plan | London association. he | to endorse the Nor- | Mr. Rogers spoke of | wich movement. reasons for the growth of western Connecticut cities and he spoke strongly for a united front by the eastern Connecticut citles, and he ex- pressed cordial appreciation of the aid given by. Norwich and Willimantic in the matter of the aitempted repeal of New London’s,million dollar appro- priation. He said he believed there was a_vindication coming for Presi- dent Mellen and the New Haven road. He closed with & renewed offer on the part of New London to take off their | coats and give any help that they could to further the object of this| meeting. Cooperation by Willimantic. Cooperation on the part of Willi- mantic was also pledged by Judge W. A. Arnold, president of the Williman- tic' Business Men's association, who | said he believed that a committee might later wait upon President Mel- len with good prospects of a favorable reception, although at this time it might not be a good time to walt upon the president in hig present harassed position. President Rogers argued for playing fair with the New Haven road and to stand by it rather than “knock” it for the success of the cities of Con- necticut was really bound up in the suceess of the New Haven road. Answer s Easy. Judge John H. Barnes when called on said that the answer to the ques- | tion as to wlether this was an ad- | visable matter to be forwarded was about as self evident as the answer | to the question, Is food good for a starving man? He went on to speak of what con- certed action could do and also of some of the blindness of Norwich men in times past when they opposed tne | granting of a charter for the Montville trolley line. Now nothing would come to us here unless we work for it, said Judge Barnes, and when that dock in New London is built trade will do tha rest. He Instanced the great growth of the ship line of the United Fruit company and predicted that this un- limited demand for fruit might be ex- pected to send frult ships to the New London decks and thence the shipment to Hartford would be by this cutoff. The whole valley all the way to Springfield weould be opened up. With his well knewn knewledge of the Bible, Judge Barnes found a scrip . ture quotatien to fit the situation and | gave the following words of Paul from | the fifth chapter of Romans: Let us alse rejoice in our tribulations: know- ing that tribulation worketh patience; : Men Have Offers of Cooperation From ! Nflv L.-d.n and Willimantic—Kindly Things Said About the New Haven Road—Citizen’s Commiitee on —— | iness mens’ | with the other associations. | who and patience, probation; and m'olm-l 5. ; LES CUT-OFF A dog that happened to be wander- ing around the room added his bark to-the applause that greeted Judge Barnes and also joined in the ap- | plause for each successive speaker un- til_he was removed from the room. Sidney H. Miner of New London spoke briefly of the advantages of the million dollar piers, and George S. Elliott of Willimantic also spoke briefly. Freight Agent C. i New Haven road s | ciated the pleasant things that had, been said about President Mellen and | the New Haven road and for himself he would be pleased to see this mew | cutoff established. It seemed to be a law of transportation that traffic goes | by the shortest route, and with the new cutoff there would be almost an airline to Springfield. With the docks in operation, Norwich would practi- cally be on the main line between Eu- rope and Chicago. The new cutoff | would bring Manchester, Bolton, Fiop ! River, Turnervilie and other points as | near here, according to freightage, as | Moosup is now. Would Open Up Good Territory. J. Isbister of the id that he appre- J. Arthur Allen of New ILondon ! spoke of what he could see in traffic | possibilities of great moment in the | proposed cutoff. He referred to infor- mation gained by the inferstate com- merce commission, which learned that freight delays, as well as passenger ! delays, occurréd at junction points. At | present New London people have to ! leave at 7.20 to get to Hartford, which was_an inconvenient hour, but there would be a good feeding territory for passenger trafic over this line to Hartford through the proposed cutoff. On the side of freight Mr. Allyn ad- | vised to keep local servic ¢ from the great arterial trunk lines. By ! feeding through the veins instead of the arteries the local service would be ! improved. He indicated how freight for Norwich which now comes around through Springfield and ‘Worcesrer could be shortened and improved by | dropping straight down from Sprini fleld, and he believed there would be such a development of the freight bus- i through the territory to warrant | tra freight service. He believed | Norwich, New London Williman- | tic could unite very artily in and could encourage the Netv H rozd to expect g possibilities. ! Allyn went on to speak of immi- | grant service through eld, | which might be expected to be - mate development of the steamship | lines. 1 Mr. Taylor of Wiilimantic.
