. NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1914 _ Pleasant View. Attorney Clarence E. Roche has n- stituted proceedings against the J. B. Fitzgerald Construction company of New iondon, in behalf of Frank Rosa and Tony Castello of Westerly, in a claim for damages for injurics sus- tained while the men were in the em- ploy of the construction company. They ere injured when at work in East New London in the employ of " the Fitzgerald company, sub-contractor In the construction of the ocean terminal pier by the state of Connecticut, for which the T. A, Scott company of New London has the general contract. In connection with this work the Fitzger- ald company is doing much excavation, The material being dug by a steam shovel, loaded into narrow gauge cars nd taken quite a distance and used as illing in that section of the waterfront betweer the Standard Oil plant and that of the New London Lumber com- any. P Hese cars are run over a temporary railroad track. It is alleged that in dumping these cars that ties slipped from their place and that ths cars and contents of grave] fell over on a large gang of laborers. Among these were Messrs. Rosa and Casteila, who are sesidents of Pierce street, Wester] These two men were sericusly in. ured and taken to a hospital in New London, and are still vnder treatment ; Itis better to buy roofing . from a big concern that i can, back up its goods when called upon than to ' buy from the little fellow who may not make good when his roofing falls down. When you buy Certainteed ROOFING you are protected by a legal guar- antee of 5 years for 1-ply, 10 years for 2-ply, and 15 years for 3-ply, and this guarantee is backed by the biggest roofing mills in the world. PUBLIC CONFIDENCE As Seen by the General Public confidence is the great- est asset that any house of business can. possess. It s more to be desired than the ability to make money. There are degrees of public confidence. It may be zero, a minus quantity, or a plus quan- tity. At zero no confidence ex- ists—nobody is for or against such a house. But this condi- tion can exist only where the house or its goods are unkno and as soon as the public given the house a trial it Judgment, and public con- idence will then.be ezpressed by a plus or minus sign, accord- ing to the approval or disap- proval of the public as to the g00ds ard policics of the house. t the goods are not as repre- sented, or if ti.c policies are not in accordance with the ethics of 8ood busincss, public confidence | -will drop to a minus quantity and the peopie will transact business twith its competitors whose business ideals are on a higher more _satisfactory plane. If the goods are satis- fuctory, and if the policies of ihe hotise are right. the people will continue to do business with that house and will help to_butld it up. The plus sign of public con- fidence is slways attached to the name of a house of businees that considers service to its customers, . absolute integrity with reference to its s, and high ideals in its business poli- Clsa, 28 being of greater conse- quence than the mere earnin; of dividends. A well satisfled community of customers is the Xkey to the success of any house of business, and, having estab- lished this, dividends will be sure to foliow.

STONINGTON Postponed Meeting of ment Society—School Makeup Urder, Local Notes. age Improve- Committee Discussion—Other The postponed annual meeting of the Village Improvement society was held Tuesday evening at Stonington librars Several reports, showing the' great amount of work that the society has done during the year, were read and accepted, and officers were elected for the ensuing vear. The time for the annual meeting 1s in June. The treasurer reported @ balance on hand.in May, 1913, of $435.95. The bazar held last summer netted $329.96 contributions totaled $93 and $3118 was ‘realized from the rummage sale last season, making a total of $395.12. The disbursements for 1913-14 includ- ed $130.50 for the care of Wadawanuck pary, $225 for spraying the elm trees, $5.32 for grass seed, $3 for raller, $5.10 for emptying garbage cans, $50 to W J. Schoonman on account for shrubs, etc., at station plaza, making a total of $424.92. This left a balance on May 51, 1914, of $471.20, S0 that the summer was started with this amount, plus $30 contributed by the borough, making $510.20. * The financial status of the society brought down to date shows a balance of $36.47 on hand, after the usua] ex- penses incurred duriig the summer season, which have included this sum- mer $150.70 for the care of Wadawa uck park, $225 for spraying the elm trees, $67.50 for the balance due on the work about the station, $18.75 for the lamp posts in the park, and $2.78 for grass seed, making a total of $464.73. It will be seen from these figures that the society has spent for improve- ments in the borough in a little more than a year nearly $1,000. On account of the expense involved by the celebra- tion, the soclety has decided not to have any beneflt entertainment this summer. The annual dues are payable now, however, and all contributions for the work of the society will be appre- ciated. It has also been decided to omit spraying the elm trees next spring. There is no doukt but that this work hds been of great benefit to the shade trees of the borough in prevent- ing damage to them by the tim tree beetle and for six years the trees have been treated in this manner. It is hoped, however, that the beetle is pret- ty well exterminated in this section and that the work will nct be necessary next spring. The following officers were re-elected for the year: President, Miss Jean C. Palmer:-vice president, Warden C. B. Crandail; secretary, Laura T. ‘Wood; treasurer, Dr. Williams. Who Shall ?

Captain and Mrs, D. W. Chester and mittee of six members is a matter that has been receiving some consideration of late. It is probable that it will be composel of three democrats and as many republicans. Already scme names are being talked of in this con- nection. Dr. James H. Weeks of the borough; for a number of years a school visitor under the old district syetem, and on that account well posted in town school matters, has been men- tioned as 2 possible candidate from the borough, and another name that s be- ing discussed from this part of the town is that of Judge L. D. Fairbroth- er, chairman of the special school in- vestigating committee, whose report will soon be ready for public distribu- tion. Judge Fairbrother, together with the other members of ihe committee, devoted considerable of his time io the preparation of the report. which was as comprehensive as anything of the kind ever undertaken in _town. From Pawcatuck the name of William A. Wilcox is heard as being recom- mended as a member of the commit- tee to be elected. It is expected that the slate will be agreed upon prior to the caucuses at which nominations will be made, and, as the nomination is as good as an election, no contests are looked for at present. It is possi- ble also thgt Rev. A. H. Withee of Old Mystic, anSther member of the special investigating committee and its clerk. | will be recommended for a position on the new committee of six.
