JEWELRY FACTORY Report. 1 at Board of Trade Meeting—Criticism of Methods. Used to Railroad Bill Increasing Gas and Electric Com- | mission—Committee Advises Against Undertaking Erec- ||| - tion of Industrial Building Now. Afliations with the Connecticut Good Roads association and with the National One (ent Letter Postage as- sociation were voted at the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade held Tuesday evening in the Buckingham Memorial. President James C. Macpherson presided and there was a good attendance. A pros- pective jewelry factory for Norwich, employing 200 hands, and the increasc in the gas and electrical commission from three to five in number were dis- cussed at length. ; Secretary Tibbits read the minutes of the last regular meeting, and his re- | port was approved. New Names for Membership. The names of John F. Tompkins, é B. Clarke, Charles V. James and <. W. Bates were presented and the four were made members of the associa- tion. Frank J. King reported on the hear- | ing before the committee on highways | and bridges on the acceptance of the railroad bridge at New lLondon byl the state and said that there was no opposition whaisoever to its accept- ance. Report on Industrial Building. Frank H. Smith reported on the matter of the erection of a public in- dustrial building, for and against which, he said, there were many argu- ments. On the whole, he said, the committee felt it undesirable to con- sider seriously the erection of such a building at present. There are a num- ber of empty buildings in town now and Mr. Smith said it was difficult to know what sort of a building would be needed in the future. Through Train in the Fall, Perhaps. Secretary Henry Tibbits said he had conferred with the officials of the New Haven road in regard to a through | train, Boston to New York, through this city. It would be necessary, he =aid. fo put on an entirely new train and the officials later reported to Mr. Tibbits that it would be impoesible to put on such a train while the summer | schedule is in effect, but that it would probably be put on in the fall 1 President Macpherson told of ef- President Macpherson | forts to bave the 7 p. m. train from | next business men's I | here connect with the Federal pxprvss‘f at Groton for Boston, but said that it found that this could not be done present. Thames River Highways. Frank J. King said that in the legis- lature there was no opposition to the five million dollar appropriation asked by the Good Roads association for the state highways. He said that there a possibility that the highway on the east side of the Thames from here to New London might be developed, in view of a million dollar appropria- tion for the maintenance of the road west. which would not be | ar Macpherson asked for Mr. ion on joining the Connec- t Good Roads association, and on | m n of Mr. King it wag voted that the board affiliate with the state or- ganization for the betterment of high- ways. — = e We advertise exactly as It is Some Men Think WANTS TOLOCATE Frank W. Burke Given Prize. John B. Stanton reported for the educational commitiee on the matter of awarding prizés for essays by high school students on the farmers’ insti- tute recently held in the town hall Mr. Stanton said that there was but one essay, which, however, was an ex- ceptionally good plece of work, and | that the prize was awarded to Frank ‘W. Burke. One Cent Letter Postage. President Macpherson made an ap- peal to the members for assistance in building up the buslpess of the cit He explained the purpose of the tional One Cent Letter Postage asso- ciation, showing how much greater rate was paid on first class matter than on other classes of mail matter. I believe, said President Macpherson, that the Norwich Board of Trade should lend its assistance to this movement for a proper readjustment of postal rates. Frank H. Smith said he was heartily in favor of a movement for reduction of first class letter postage. In view of the fact that Postmaster General Burleson is considering a readjustment of rates, Mr. Smith said such a read- justment should precede a demand for one cent postage, and that he felt that greater efficiency was more important just at present than a lower rate. Frank J. King spcke in favor of one cent postage and said that last vear first class mail matter showed a profit to the government of 62 mil- lions, which was ueed to cover a de-{ ficiency in second and third class mat- ter. Mr. King said he felt it unfair for users of first class service to pay for the service of users of the other class- es. It was voted to join the assoc tion by a large majority, only two or three voting against it. President Macpherson exhi seal advertising the cily and said he hoped that the members of the asso- ciation would use them on their ‘et- ters.

Aiken was asked for a report on the matter of increasing he board of gas angd electric commis- sfoners from three to flve in numt in The general criticised the manner in | which the bill providing for this in- | | crease had been passed through the | | legislature without a petition, without action by the common council and | without a hearing of the interests of the city. He said that the manage- ment of the commissioners had been | efficient in the past and there could be | i | no just criticism of their work. The ncrease in number, he qualified as a | big business mistake, making the com- mission unwieldy and ope it to greater personal or political differ- | | ence. | General Afken sald that he felt that | a great injustice had been done by d one member of the Board of haq appeared at Hartford and stated that the people of Norwich had no con- | idence in the present commission and { that confidence would be restored an increase in the commission. Increase Is a Mistake. Frederic W. Cary spoke in support | of what Gen. Aiken had said and stated ! that he felt the increase a m e, | He said that the people of Norwich have every confidence in the present commission and that detailed reports | of the finances and condition of the business are printed regularly for the benefit of the public and that the pub- lic does not even bother to read them. Whether politics were to enter into it or not could be told when the new men are appointed in a day or two. President Macpherson said that the municipal plant had shown the city a good profit, had reduced the cost of ea nd eleciricity to the people and t this city had the best service in | these commodities of any city in the | state. He said that he had never | hearq expression of anvthing but con fidence in the present board of com- missioners. He told of his visit In company with a number of others in Hartford in an effort to have a refer endum attached to the bill so that the | people of Norwich themselves might | decide whether or not they wanted an | increase in the commission A refer endum clauge was prepared and placed in the hands of the local representa tive but nothing further was heard I O L He said that the com- mittee had no other purpose than to see that the people ‘of Nor- wieh had their choice in regard to the commission. If the office of commis- sioner is to become a political one and the commission governeq by party feeling then the future of your muni- cipal plant is endangered. TIn the past the commission has been composed of | able, conscientious, religions men and I trust and hope that the additional members who will be appointed will be just as worthy of our suppért as the old members. Laurel Hili Bank Unslighly. E. C. Jewett spoke of the unsightly appearance of tne land belonging to the Haven road above the tracks along Laurel Hill avenue and suggested that the City Beautiful association take steps to have the underbrush and de- brig cleared and the trees on the prop- erty trimmed. Ile sald that che rail- road was willing that the work be done but difd mot wish to stand ihe expense, President Macpherson said that it would involve a constderable amount of work, but that he hoped it could be accomplished and that he would take the matter up with the City Beautiful association, The meeting adjourned at 9.45 when a buffet lunch was served by the enter- tainment committee, Hartford—8o0 far the personal tax coliectore have collected about $47,000 on Lhis yew= ligt !
