UNANIMOUS AGAINST SEPARATION| Vote Passed by 500 Citizens in City Meeting Against Dis- memberment of Town of Norwich—Opposition to any Annexation Plan Also Included in Vote—Any Plan Also Should be Submitted for Ratification by Vote— Big Committee Appointed to Represent City at Legislative Hearing. ~ The special city meéting in the town hall on Monday evening recorded the unanimous vote of the close to 500 citizens present against the proposed partition of the town by making a new town called Old Norwich out of what is practically all included in the fourth and fifth voting districts of the present town of Norwich. Em- bodied in the vote passed by the meet- ing after about an hour of discussion of the subject was a declaration against any plan to annex to the city any portion of the town without the consent of the inhabitants of the sec- tion outside the city, Resolutions Passed. The following were the resolutions offered by Conporation Counsel Joseph T. Fanning and passed by unanimous vote when the vote was taken: Whereas, the proposition before the present general assembly of dividing into two towns, the town of Norwich, whose boundaries have remained sub- stantially unchanged since 1786, must be considered as a matter of grave concern to the inhabitants of this city, which holds more than two-thirds of the population of the town and pro- vides 78 per cent. of its grand list, and this movement has been initiated and promoted without the indorsement of town meeting or even of any public gathering of those inhabitants of the town who will be pressed arbitrarily lntg the new municipal corporation; an Whereas, the citizens of this com- munity view the project as a measure which interferes with the regular and justly expected growth of the com- munity and subjects it to the public weakness which invariably marks the course of separation and disunion, and ‘Whereas, particular and serious dis- advantages will result to the city from carrying out the proposed plan which will not only affect its financial in- terests, but undoubtedly will make necessary many changes in the city charter, and under the new arrange- ment the city’s water works at Fair- view and Meadow Brook will be sub- ject to taxation in the new town, the Jjurisdiction of the city court will be affected and the net cost to the city for the court's maintenance will be increased, the amount payable to the city as the town's share for maintain- ing highways will be subject to serious reduction, if not taken away entirely, any addditions to Mohegan park at or towards the north will mean that the park will not lie entirely within the town of Norwich, while similarly at many points what, under present con- ditions, would be the natural expan- slon of the city, would, under the change, mean the growth and finan- cial improvement of the new town rather than of the city itself, and the change involves two separate systems of town officers in place of one. leaves the existing town partly within and partly without the city, and would work to the great detriment of the entire present town: therefore without reciting other disadvantages which become more and more apparent as the proposed enactment is carefully scrutinized and realizing that it will mean to the community a loss which cannot be repaired by the progress of many years and against which all )bionora.ble influence should be exerted; e it Resolved, that it s the sense of this meeting that the city of Norwich should, and it does hereby oppose the plan now under consideration in the legislature of dividing the toewn of Norwich into two towns; that it re- gards such plan if carried into ef- fect as a sure means of detracting from the public importance and stand- ing of the community, and that its effect would be devold of public good. Resolved, that the city is opposed to any plan whereby an effort would be made to annex to the city any partion of the town without the consent of t‘{]e inhabitants of such outside sec- tion. Resolved, that it further is the sense of this meeting that any and every plan of joining, consolidating or sep- arating communities or parts of the same, which would affeet local muni- cipal conditfons, should be submitted for ratification by vote to the people to be\affected before going into effect. Resolved, that a general committee of citizens be appointed by the chair with the mayor to act as chairman of such committee, to oppose the plan of separation herein referred to and sald committee may increase its own mem- bership if considered advisable and all citizens of the community opposed to sald plan are inviteq to work with the committee for the purpose stated. And be it furthermore Resolved, that the Hon, John H. Barnes of Norwich, senator in the gen- eral assembly, and Albert J. Balley, Esquire, and Joseph H, Henderson, Esquire, of Norwich, representatives in the general assembly, he and they are hereby respectfully requested and urged to use all fair and honorable efforts to prevent the proposed dis- memberment of the town of Norwich.

A Moore had read the published call for the meeting, as well as the petition for it, made by Charles S. Holbrook and 33 others, Corporation Counsel Fanning presented the resolutions, which he read, and moved their adoption. Representative Joseph H. Henderson suggested that the mayor explain what the situation was and His Honor re- quested the corporation counsel to do this. Mr. Fanning sald that if the pro- posed bill to create the town of Old Norwich from a part of the town of Norwich becomes a law, it would mean that out of our present 30 square miles about 12 square miles would be taken, comprising what is practically now the Fourth and_Fifth voting districts, and including Norwich Town, Yantic and Taftville. It would be a loss to the town of Norwich of about 7,000 in its population, and instead of speaking of the town as one of 30,000 population we would call it practicaily 20,000. The bill contemplates an apportion- ment of the debt of the town, but what that would be it would be impossible now to figure out. It would shut off from the city the territory where the natural growth could be expected and would result in a big loss of prestize to the community. The legislature has authority to put this into effect with- out submitting it to the town, and we want_to register our vigorous objec- tion. We have worked to give the town advantages and it doesn't seem fair now that we shou!G be arbitrarily shut oft from the advantages that we have striven_to acquire. Mr. Fanning was vigorously ap- plauded as he closed with urging every one to be willing to serve on the com- mittee to go to Hartford to show the sentiment of the city. Grow Larger, Not Smaller. A. A. Browning pointed out that a town growing in size and population has a great advantage over one grow- ing smaller. If there were two towns created it would mean two boards of selectmen and two boards of relief and other officers similarly. In-the matter of almshouses, this town would have to pay the other town for people going there and the other town would have to build another almshouse if they had the money. They would also have to build another courthouse. He said the proposition was a sur- prise to him ang it had been called a joke, but we ought to know that it had gone beyond that, for great ef- forts were being made to put it through. He said that it was his opin- ion now, and always had been, that Taftville ought not to be dragged into @ consolidation with the town. He was given enthuslastic applause when he said that there ought to be no such change as is proposed without submitting it to a vote of the people. But this matter won't go the way we want it to if we ile by and do nothing, for much is being done to break up our grand old town of Norwich. He was again applauded as_he said there should be no hard feeling and as he closed with a_parallel between this sit- uation and the situation between the north and the south, which when their differences were settled both became loval and steadfast supporters of the government. Senator Barnes Against It. "There was earnest applause for Sen- ator John H. Barnes when he said that he_intended to do all in his power to defeat the passage of the proposed measure, and he believed that before the committee would get a majdrity report on this measure they would have to drag Representative Joseph H. Henderson through a keyhole. Representative Bailey Absolutely Op- posed. Representative Albert J. Bailey, who said that although he lived in Yantic, a section of the town that is to be in- cluded in the proposed new town, he was absolutely opposed to any separa- tion of the town as it now stands, was glven vigorous applause. He said he should do all in his power to see that the separation is defeated. He was also opposed to consolidation except by consent of the part outside, and he thought that if there had not been so much talk of consolidation this matter no wwould not have come up. He thought the city was doing a wise thing to make this expression of opin- fon and he wanted to represent a united and not a divided town. From the Fourth District. Woodbury O. Rogers, a resident of Norwich Town, said he was unalter- ably opposed to the separation pro- posed. AR N Opposed Mutilation, Dr. Patrick Cassidy said he was op- posed to the mutilation of the town, but was anxious to maintain its former virility and had always been proud -of our outside industries, as he had seen the big industry at Taftville grow from the time the first shovelful of dirt was thrown up. Widely Scattered Town. Albert Boardman said he was op- posed to separation and if carried ocut it would mean a widely scattered town in the new town and Norwich Town and the Falls would be run by Taft- ville, It would mean a three mile trip over the hills for Norwich Town, when there was town business to be done. Reasons fer It. ‘William H. Shields took up the rea- sons for the change in a stirring speech that he made, which was ap- plauded at several points. % He spoke of the proud heritage which the 250 year old town of Nor- wich has and while it is now pro- posed to divide. He said he had been told that the real reason for this movement arose with a large and powerful corporation, the FPonemah mills at Taftville, which paid one- ninth of the town taxes and had near- ly $2,000,000 in the grand list of the town. They are in fear of annexation to Norwich for taxation purposes, which would thereby double the pres- ent town tax of 10 or 11 mills, which they pay and the same fear existed in Norwich Twn and Yantic, according to what the people who have signed the petition for separation say. Town Voted Against Consolidation. There has not been at this legisla- ture a movement to annex any part of the town to the city, he said, Six years ago the citizens in town meet- ing recorded their opposition to an- nexation upon a unanimous report by a committee that considered the sub- Ject. With this public expression on record no one can point to any step taken contrary to that since thenm, so that the Ponemah mills have the word of the town that it is opposed to con- solidation. The Norwich Board of Trade has also given expression along the same line, But in spite of this, Mr. Shields said he belleved the attempt was to be made to separate the town and it was therefore incumbent on every man to do his utmost to thwart this attempt to destroy the fame and good name of our community, The only reason to raise this talk about annexation now was a ne paper advertisement that had appear- ed last November, giving notice of an intention that had never been carried out, Not State's Policy. Judge Lucius Briwn spoke strongly also against separation and con- solidation and sald it was the policy of the state not grant incorporation of new towns. The last new town made was 25 years ago. He asked how Yan- tic and Ncrwich Town would be af- fected as tc the city privileges they enjoy if they antagonized the city by the separation proposed. VOTE ON BY-LAWS OF BUILDING AND LOAN Those Presented by Committee Were Approved, The adjourned meeting of the Nor- wich Building and ILoan association, which was tentatively organized at a meeting held in Buckingham rial March 12, was held Mond: in the rooms of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce in the Transportation building on Shetucket street. The at- tendance was not as large as had been expected, owing no doubt to the spe- cial city meeting held in the town hall at the same time, but it was, however, a very spirited meeting and deep in- terest was manifest In the business transacted which consisted in the main of the hearing of the report of the by- laws committee and the report of the committee on incorporation. President Frank H, Smith called the gathering to order shortly after § o'clock and the first business was the ‘hearing of the minutes of the previous meeting and they were read by the secretary, A. Ernest Cherry. Charles W. Pearson reported for the by-laws committee saying that the committee had met and carefully in- spected by-laws used by building and loan asscciations in the state and that they had decided upon a proposed set of by-laws which with a few changes would prove equal to the needs of the newly formed association in this city. Secretary Cherry, who is also 2 mem- ber of the by-laws committee, then read the proposed by-laws which con- sisted of 24 articles. As the articles were read they were freely discussed and several changes were advocated, some of them being carried. The object of the association, which will be known as the Norwich Build- ing and Loan Association, Inc., is given in article 1 as follows: The objects of this association shall be to encourage home building and saving among its members; the accu- mulations of savings, the loaning of such accumulations to its members, either for temporary purposes or for the purchase of real estate, the erec- tion of buildings, making improv ments of lands, or paying off encum- brances thereon; and the repayment to each member of his savings when they have accumulated to a_certain sum, or at any time when he shall desire the same, or the association shall desire to repay the same, Regarding membership, article 2 says: Any person of full age and sound mind may become a member of the association by subscribing for, and taking one or more shares therein, and shall thereby be understood to give his or her assent to, and shall be bound by the provisions of the Articles of Association and By-Laws. Shares may be held for a minor in the name of a parent, guardian or next friend as trustee, who shall represent said minor in all the rights and llabilities of membership, except that of holding office. 'When such minor shall be at- tained the age of 21 years he shall be the absolute owner of the shares and become a member. Each member shall pay a subscription fee of 50 cents a share. Regarding capital and shares ar- ticle 13 provides that the capital of the assoclation shall consist of the ac- cumulated savings of its members, which it holds, and shall not exceed at any time one million dollars and shall be divided into shares of the matureq value of $200 each. The shares shall be issued in half yearly series in such amounts in each series and at such times as the board of management may determine. Shares which have been pledged as collateral security for the repayment of a loan shall be called pledged shares. Shares which have not been so pledged shall be called unpledged shares. No per- son shall hold more than 15 unpledged shares in any one series, nor more than 30 pledgeq shares in any one series. It was moved, seconded and carried that the proposed by-laws be declared approved and accepted, subject to the approval of those present at the’next meeting. H. R, Branche of the committee on incorporation reported progress. Among other matters it was decided that a second vice president, an as- sistant secretary and an _assistant treasurer be elected and this will be done when the association is duly in- corporated. Adjournment was taken until next Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the rooms of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, in the Transportation building and President Smith is de- sirous that everyone interested in the association attend the meeting, which promises to be an interesting one, Incidents in Society Mr. and Mrs. Oliver L.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up & mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attrac- tive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture by asking at any drug store for a B50-cent bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, thal nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandrutt, stops sceip itching and falling hair. You just dampen a eponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time.
