His words were ap- plauded, and President Macpherson commended the general work of the committee. Advertising Norwich. John M. Lee reported for the adver- tising committee, stating that an ag- ricultural convention had been held here through_ the co-operation ‘of this committee. He made the suggestion that there be regularity in the issue of the Board of Trade Quarterly, and spoke of the proposed week to be ar- ranged by the merchants of Norwich of a week to advertise Norwich as a trading_center. The health and sanitation commit- tee was reported for by Dr. P. J. Cas- sidy. He said that Norwich had been singularly fortunate in freedom from epidemics of the more severe type of infectious diseases, when the fact of the miscellaneous grouping of mill villages which make up its entity be considered.

As a clean pavemented street is mnot | tello only more sanitary but also more at- | i tractive than a dirty one, and ing by dry brushing of such a street is not hygienic, we would suggest that steps De taken to secure a better and more frequent cleaning of our streets in the central portions of the city and | those that are pavemented in the resi- | dential_portion. In this connection it | would be of advantage to the citizen i a covered vehicle for the collectio of ashes and dry garbage be secured.

The eastern Connecticut developmenty committee of the Business Men's a sociations met at Daniwlson Tuesday{ afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, with Joseph i\ T. Cruttenden in the chair and C. W. Pearson acting as clerk. It was vot- ed that the eastern Connecticut com- mittee recommend that the three\asso- ciation’s in Windham county_take up the matter of forming a Windham county farm bureau.
