The forthcoming announcement of camps for the commands of the Con- necticut National guard will include the innovation of battalion camps at the Fast Haven rifle range instead of re<imental or manoeuvres camps at Niantic. The officers’ camp of instruc- tion will be held at the East Haven range on June 7 to 11. The battalion camps of the First and Second regi- ments of infantry will begin on July 6 and will continue for six weeks, one battalion replacing another at the end of seven days. Each camp will be com- manded respectively by the major of the battalion encamped. These camps will be devoted to general ihstruction and especially to range work. In the fall the entire guard will have one “war mobilization” day. On that day, for the purpose of instruction in mo- bilization, it will be presupposed that war has been declared and commands wili be called out by peremptory sum- mons to repel the enemy.

Bennett was sub- mitted by Governor Holcomb to the general assembly today. In this report there is both general and specific re- views of highway construction and road maintenance from the time Mr. Bennett took up the duties of the of- fice, as well as statements of the cost of highways and the expenditures of state money in maintenance of trunk line highways, the introduction of so- called permanent pavements and in aid to towns for their local roads. Organization Under Three Heads. The department is organized under |Offi three heads: Construction of high- ways, repairs of highways, accounting and records. The officials in charge are known as the deputy highway commissioner in charge of construc- tion; superintendent of repairs in charge of repairs, and a chief clerk in charge of accounting and records. These men are practically of equal au thority except that the deputy com missioner_acts for_the commissioner in his absence or disability. The con- struction department has charge of all new highways alone and the _ work done in each section is in charge of division engineers as provided by law. The state at present is divided into seven parts each under a division en- gineer who has complete charge of the construction of highways in his particular district. These division en- gineers report directly to the deputy commissioner and through him to the commissioner. All construction work is advertised under the unit system as has been done in the past two years; that is, instead of securing the prices per foot for construction of roads regardless of the amount of cut and fill the work s now done and paid for by the cubic yard, square yard ,etc., resflting in increased facility in hand- ling engineering work. Repairs and Maintenance. Repairs or maintenance is un- questionably the most important fea- ture of the departments work. It is assumed that efficlent work can only be gained by sufficient supervision. Kvery road must have periodic and careful maintenance. With increased weights of vehicles and speed of op- eration, the ccnstruction of cheaper types of roads is fast becoming inad- visable on account of the high cost of maintenance. Under the superintend- ent of repairs the state is divided into nine districts, each in, charge of a su- pervisor. These districts do not co- incide with the engineer divisions be- cause the construction work is gener- ally carried on where roads are not al- ready built. The supervisors of repairs employ foremen and laborers and carry on ail repairs, including surface oiling, by force account. It has been impossi- ble so far, to build up any standard system of maintenance for roads. That is, it is impossible to determine that a patrol em is better than the sec- ystem, or vice versa. Each problem of repairs must be consider- ed by itself. As to accounts and records, tne success of the highway department depends on the simplicity and com- pleteness of its accounting system. Ap- propriations made by the legislature can be considered the capital stock with which the highway department does business. These appropriations should in no case be exceeded. The accounting system has proven _itself to be a success. Briefly, it is a double entry bookkeeping system and each contract is at once entered as a charge against the appropriation. Commissioner Bennett's report takes up. the matter of appropriations in an explanatory way, showing the divisions made by the legislature. Permanent Pavements Travel, In the general conclusions it is pointed out that for roads over which travel is heavy the principal of so- called permanent pavements should be adhered to. All those pavements should be built with concrete founda- tions. It does not seem to the depart- ment that the concrete road is the ab- solute perfection of road surfaces claim- ed, but there does seem to be & rea- sonable use for the concrete road for a certain term of years. Types For Light Travel. For roads of lighter travel with a preponderance of automobiles, the use of a bitumonous-bound native stone road is recommended. For roads sub- Jected to light travel, mixed in its Character, the construction of gravel or native stone macadam is recom- mended. Probably the most econora- ical and successful type of road which can be built is the gravel read, pro- vided a source of supply is available. A gravel road properly constructed of suitable material, is a very success- ful and economical type and cheaply maintained and pleasant and agreeable to travel. When properly treated with & heavy cost of crude asphaltic oil the results are good. Sever Main Lines. The trunk line system of Connecti- cut is a layout of main roads amount- ing to about 1520. Of this about 60 per cent. are already constructed and in the apportionment of the last two ap- propriations for trunk lines the money was used to complete, so far as pos- sible—seven roads which were con- sidered to be main routes of the state. The seven lines are: First—The road from New York to Westerly, along Long Island sound. Second—New Haven to Springfield via Meriden and Hartford. Third—Stratford to Winsted, up the Housatonic and Naugatuck valleys. Fourth—New London to Thompson, For Heavy passing through the Freich Rgver val- ey. Fifth—Danbury, through Waterbury, Hartford, Manchester, Willimantic, Putnam and thence to the Rhode Is- land line, Norfolk, through Winsted and Hart- ford, adjoining the road to the east above mentioned. Seventh—Road from Saybrook to Hartford and thence branching east and west adjoining the two roads men- tioned above. The report says that in almost every instance where the state has construct- ed highways, the improvement has been marked, Many roads additionally have been built for the purpose of closing gaps in trunk lines or for the purpose of elimination of exceedingly bad road conditions, Danger from Grade Crossings, No report would be complete with- out a word of warning as to the ex- istence of grade crossings on trunk line highways. Dangerous crossings exist frequently on trunk lines and these crossings are becoming more and more a menace to public safety as fast automobile travel increases. In conclusion the report kays the state stands well up in_the list of states along the lines of hishway de- velopment. The highway system 1s extensive and good, the work extend- ing over a period of nearly twenty yeaxs, and is as near completion as any other state. Financial Showing, From the financial statement of Commissioner Bepnett it 1is shown that the legislature appropriated for the 1913-1915 period $5,422,000, and in addition $612,267 was received from automobile licenses. The appropria- tions were divided as follows: State aid $1,000,000 Trunk line and new repairs 2,000,000 Deputies, engineers spectors . Automobile Commissioner".

Nearly $3,000,000 for Trunk Lines. The expenditures for trunk lines for the twenty months were $2,945,- 408.76, The number of miles of trunk line constructed was 604.12 and in addi- tion 50.10 miles was reconstructed. The state aid road mileage constructed and reconstructed was 318.11. WATERWAY SURVEYS FOR EASTERN CONNECTICUT Included by Congressman Mahan in Rivers and Harbors Bill. Among the'surveys authorized in_the rivers and harbors bill as presented by the senate and house of repres are two pertaining to th which were introduced by Congre: man Mahan. One of these authori survey of the Thames river with a vie to providing a 20-foot channel from New London harbor to Norwich. The other provides for a survey of the She- tucket, Quinebaug and French with a view to securing ard Norwich. The combination o two is the first step in Congre Mahan’s proposition for an inia terway to the sea from the Massac setts city located in the heart of the Bay Stat; Diocesan Prayer by Bishop Brewster. The following prayer is set forth by Bishop_Brewster for use in the Epis- copal Diocese of Connecticut: O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace; look upon the nations now engaged in deadly strife. Stay them from violence and bloodshed. Visit with thy compassion and succour the wounded and sick and dying, and bless them who mi ter to their needs. Preserve all who are in peril by land or sea. Show thy pity upon all prisoners and captives. Protect the widows and fatherless chil- dren. Comfort all who mourn. We be- seech thee so to guide and direct them who are in authority, that in thy good time wars may cease in all the world and that justice and righteousness, peace and good will may prevail among the nations, to the glory of Thy name, through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Sent to State Hospital. In the probate court at New London Friday morning Judge Arthur B. Cal- kins ordered the commitment of Mrs. l:ioncy Allen to the Norwich state hos- tal.
