DIVISION ST. SIDEWALKS NOT NEW Move For Them First Began in 1885—Came Up ‘Again in 1907—Thirty-Six Property Owners Affected by the 'Public Works Committee’s Resolution. As shown by the records of the court of common council, the matter of side- walks on Division street is nothing new, but has already been brought up twice before ‘on petition from citi- zens. Once was in 1885 and again in 1907, At the council meeting on Monday evening the recommendation of the public works committee was that as- phalt concrete sidewalks or cement concrete walks be laid on both sides of the street for its entire length with a stone curb or a cement concrete curb and the hearing at which property owners can appear to give their views on the matier was set for the time of the next regular meeting which is the first Monday in November. The petition on which action was taken this time by the public works com- mittee was from George E. Pitcher and 23 others. There will be property 38 separate parcels of property fected by the present resolution, on eauch side of the street. The property owners affected are he following: On northeasterly side of the street— derbert R.

Pitcher, Frank H. Clark gnd Mrs, Hen- Rogers. The common council records, accord- ing to Clerk Stephen D. Moore, show that the matter was brought up in 1885 and a hearing was to have been held on the 18th of May that year, but it does not appear that the hearing was ever held. Again in 1907 there was a petition for Division street side- walks, but this was met by a big remonstrance which put the quietus on the matter at that time. = Ty | i I NOVEL CONTESTS FEATURE CLUB MEETING. Preston City ldeal Clubh Met With Charles Burdick, The Preston City Ideal club held its | regular meeting Saturday evening, the 18th, at the home of Charles Burdics at Preston City. Although the weata er was threatening, there was a good- 1y attendance and a very pleasant time was enjoyed by all. At the business meeting member was voted in. Toe regular schedule generally toj- lowed out by the entertainment com- mittee was abandoned for the evening and a series of noval contests was offered. Refreshments of cake, ice cream, eoffee, etc., were served at the close of the contests, and this feature did much to cheer up those who were not fortunate in being numbered among the prize winners. The club has now been in existence for over two vears. and the object of its formation has most certainly been fulfilled: It has given the young folks a chance to get together and become better acquainted with each other. It has tended to promote a higher stand- ing, both morally and socially. And the anticipation with which the mem- bers look forward to each coming meeting shows the good fellowship that exists. TERMINAL SPECIFICATIONS. Te Be Issued for Bids for Big Harbor Contract at New London. one new The New lLondon harbor commission has requested estimates from printing firms for the publication of a bhooklet which will contain the invitation to contractors to submit bids for the construction of the ocean terminal at Wast-New London, specifications of the plans: details of %he amount of excava- tion to be done, information as to the bond required and other matter rela- tive to the contract to be awarded for building the substructure of the pier. There are’ 56 typewritten pages to ncluded in the printed booklets, of :h 100 will be vrinted. These will be sent to prominent contractors throughcout the country.upon request, together with blue prints of the plans of the terminal. In order to prevent irresponsible contractors from asking for the booklets and plans, merely out of curiosity, a -deposit of $25 will be b required for each set, the same to be | given back upon the return of the booklet and plans in good condition. 1t is estimated that the building of the substructure will cost in the vicin- ity of $400,000. A bond of approx mately 76 per cent. of this amount will be required from the successful bidder to insure the faithful performance of the contract. Vesper Services at Christ Church.

Norwich Citizens Falling Into Line in the Campaign This Week. | Norwich oyster dealers who have enlisted in “Oyster Week” campaign which is carried on in a country-wide way this week, said on Monday and Tuesday that Norwich householders were evidently going to get in line with all the rest of the country in add- ing oysters particularly to their bill of fare for this week and the local orders were already showing the ef- fect of the publicity campaign on the subject that has been carried on by the National Oyster Growers and Dealers’ association, In speaking of the Oyster Week campaign, one of the local dealers sald Tuesday that if sold by weight, oy- sters would cost about 22 cents per pound. According to a recent issus of the Farmers’ Bulletin, published by the department of agriculture, the cost of foodstuffs to the consumer at mar- ket prices, when refuse and waste were considered was: Chicken, 35.6c per pound; choice cuts of beef and lamb 30 to 40c per pound. If sold by weight, opened oysters would cost about 22c per pound, but few people realize that about one-half the weight of meats is in the bones, gristle and waste. Oy- sters, although costing much less by weight, have no bones or gristls to dis- card. Thus oysters are not only a deli- cious luxury for the wealthy epicure, but are an economical and.wholesome | food for those of limited means. They furnish an agreeable change from the monotony of ordinary foods and an- | swer the frequent question of the puz- zled housewlife, “What shall we next ! have to eat?”” They should not be re- garded as a rare treat, but as a fre- quent and appetizing item of regular ! food supply. Oysters are now caught by steamers, power boats and fast sailing vessels, delivered promptly at the shipping houses. They are thus not subject to the delays formerly experienced. They' are handled and packed by the best methods in sterilized receptacles. They are kept cold by artificial refrigeration and by pure artificial ice. Oysters, either In shell or opened, are now ship- ped from the Atlantic coast to the Pa- | cific, arriving there in as perfect con- | dition as when taken from the water. There is no place in the United States or British America where the rail- | roads penetrate in which oysters can- not be received in perfect eondition. As a backing for the use of the oy- | ster, the dealers are quoting the fol- { lowing opinions: { President Rowe of the Oyster Grow- ing AN EASY WAY TO_GET | FAT ARD BE STRONG. .

Alsberg, chief of the United States Bureau of Chemistry, says: “I could wish the number of sources of dangerous milk supply was as small and the percentage of pure, wholesome milk was as great as the wholesome, safe oysters that reach our table.” Dr. Julius Nelson, professor of bi- ology, of Rutgers college says: “Oysters are a good food. Ouysters come nearer in composition to cow’s milk than do most other meats, as all the four kinds of nutrients needed are present in good degree. Oysters have a larger excess of the fish building substance relative to the other con- stituents than milk, so we ‘balance the ration’ by addition of starchy food and fats when eating ovsters, thus se- curing a good mea] at a cost that com- pares favorably with that when other meats are chosen.” Owners May Not Lose Very Much. Captain William Hegarty, master of whaling brig Sullivan, which was lost at Fayal on Oct. 15, has cabled fo agents in New Bedford as follows: Fayal, Oct. 16.—Oil saved, 907 bar- rels; lost, 284 barrels. Sending first opportunity. No accidents, Crew left for home yesterday. Leaving 29th. Provided the oil is insured the own- ers of the brig figure they have a chance to split even on the trip. The oil saved is worth, at $15 per barrel, taken © $13,605, and the value of that which was lost is $4,260. ° Dector Announces Engagement. Dr. Thomas J. Murray, son of ex- Alderman and Mrs. John T.
