That the Connecticut river and the Thames are two natural waterways which the state should appreciate and that the duvelopment of the Thames in connmection with the new ocean terminal at-Ney London should make both sides of the river veritable hives of industry were beliefs that F. Val- entine Chappell, chairman of the Con- necticut rivers, horbors and bridges commission, expressed Wednesday in his address at New London before the annual convention of the Connecti- cut Deeper Waterways association, ‘The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock in the council chamber of the municipal building by ex-Governor Rollin_ S, Woodruff, president. About 50 were in attendance. The minutes of the previous meet- ting were read by Secretary Charles S. Nichols of New Haven. These being approved, the reperts of the secretary and treasurer were called for and were made by Secretary and Treasurer Nichols. The election of officers for the ensuing year was the next bus- finess and Preseident Woodruff ap- pointed a nominating committee, com- posed of Messrs. Sargent, Tilson and Rogers to prepare nominations. Election of Officers. The committee retired for 15 min- utes and returned with the following list of nominees: 3 President—Rollin S, Woodruff. Vice Presidents—Frank H. Johnson of New Britain, Samuel Russell, Jr., of Middletown, Frederick J. Kingsbury of Bridgeport, Theodore Bodenwein of New London, John M. Brown of Stam- ford. Secretary-Treasurer — Charles = H. Nichols of New Haven. Following the election of officers re- marks were made by President Wood- Tuff, who urged the association to exercise its every power and influence in advancing the waterway interests and to handle judiciously every prob- lem to present itself for the better- ment of deeper waterways in New England. E. D. Steele, president of the New London Chamber. of Commerce, wel- comed the delegates and hoped the session would be an interesting as well as an instructive one. Frank H, Johnson, of New Britain, tolg of attending the national con- vention a year ago at Washington and to the difficult task of securing ap- propriation for harbors, rivers and bridges, although he stated that con- siderable progress had been made and that with the present members from Connecticut in congress more legisla- tion is anticipated, Major B. Pillsbury of the United States Engineers’ department told of the conditions of New London harbor and the facilities for a steamship ter- minal, his remarks being greeted with enthusiastic approbation, 7 Commissioner Chappell Spoke. Commissioner Chappell spoke clear- ly ang convincingly of the future of Connecticut. as a maritime state and of the importance of the state steam- ip terminal at Bast New London as e pioneer step in this directios “Fifty years ago the era of railroad development Dbegan in the United States,” Mr. Chappell said, “and today we have the finest system in the whole world. But waterway transportation in this country is still in its infancy and the next half century must be de- voted to its development, if we would keep pace with the exigencies of mod- ern_transportation problems. “The Connecticut Deeper Waterways assoclation is fortunate in having within the state besides the smaller streams, two such natural waterways as the Connecticut and the Thames rivers, which offer as fine a field for development as any in the United States. If Germany had been the pos- sessor of such a body of water as the Connecticut, both sides from source to mouth womwld have been lined with industrial enterprises of every char- acter. Instead the construction of a bridge at Hartford has been allowed to stop navigation. I firmly expect an ‘order will be issued by the federal government in the not distant future requiring the opening of the bridge, and the giving of an opportunity for the use of a great natural waterway te the citles of Massachusetts, “The Thames river is deep and ex- tends for 14 miles. Deyeloped in con- nection with the state terminal each bank for its full length should be a veritable hive of industry. This is no idle dream. To speak of the terminal as a New London profect is érroneous. It is a Connecticut institution. New London merely happens to be the gate- way to the sea. New York is at the present ‘time so overcrowded at its water front that ft is anxious to see the dewelopment of nearby ports. The metropolis will help and not, hinder us. Bulk cargoes, which we are after at first, are just what New York de- sires to be rig of. ‘And in closing T want to say to you that if the pier were completed today I could show you ocean steam- ships loadin- and unloading freight at its side, for there are steamship companies ready to lease space when We are ready for them. Visit to Terminal Other speakers included Resident Engineer Woldo B. Clarke, former President Ernest B, Rogers of the Chamber of Commerce, Congressman Richard P. Freeman and Congress- man John Q. Tiison. Following the smeeting an automobile trip to the Steamship terminal was taken. Description of Ocean Terminal. Ome of the instructive features of the meeting was a {older provided for the Visitors which gave information of the facilities which will be provided by the ocean terminal and of the present stage of_the construction work. The folder contained the following on these points: The terminal is located in New Lon- don, at the junction of the Tham river and Fishers Island sound, 120 miles from NeWw York and 120 iiles from Boston. Its position is admirable for_shipping purposes, being only three miles from deep water in Fisher's Isl- and sound and eight miles from deep water in the Atlantic ocean. It is con- 9c LONG AND ROUND CLAMS ............. 3 gts. for 25¢ LONG CLAMS, open, qt. WAKEFIELD AND CAPE COD OYSTERS, BLUEPOINT OYSTERS, qt. .............. LIVE.

Theterminal is now equipped with Pier No. 1, under construction, 1,000 feet long, 200 feet wide, having avail able shed room of 100,000 square feet; storage warehouse on the pier of 12,000 tons capacity. The harbor is open for operation throughout the entlre year, oing to mild winters and the absence of ice. The raflway facilities are/good, by direct connection for nearly all points in New England and New York -over lines of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, and the Central Vermont Railway company. There is also_direct connection to all po:nts on the lines of the Grand Trunk system in Canada and western United States. Incidentally the rates are cheaper over. the Grand Trunk lines to Doints in central and western United States than could be obtained on lines oughout this country. commercial purposes in the immediate vicinity and on the terminal site; be- cause of the necessarily rapid growth of industry in Connecticut as shipping increases; because of the location of ew London as the natural outlet of New England’s great inland manufac- tures. Report on Pier Progre The following condensed “report of the progress of the terminal to date was also included: Since Jan. 21, 1912, the state of Connecticut, through its rivers, harbors and bridges commis- sion, has been engaged in the work of developing and improving docking and transportation facilities at New Lon- don. Contract No. 1, covering the con- struction of the substructure of Pier No. 1, including the floor surface, eheds and warehouse foundations, marginal way, connecting streets and accesso- ries, was awarded on the above date to the T. A. Scott company. Location at East New London site; length of pier, 1,020 feet; width, 200 feet; width of slips, 265 feet: depth of water at mean low tide, 35 feet; estimated cost, $500,000. Pier No. 1 is of the center fllled section type, with side and end exten- sicn to deep water. The center is of permanent construction. The area be- tween masonry walls is hydraulically flled to elevation plus 10 feet above mean low tide and covered with a con- crete asphalt surface. It is eventually planned to cover this entire section with a fireproof warehouse, built in sectfons as required, equipped with ele- vators and other approved appliances for handling and storing freight. The outer or extension platfon semni-permanent in type, rests on créo soted piles and clarps. The deck of this section is_of pre-moulded con- crete inverted U units, placed on cast iron plates in turn resting on pile heads and clamps. The floor units are lajid with one inch opening on all sides, with an elastic filler between and an asphalt top surface. The project under way calls for lev- eling off adjoining shore land to ele- vation of 10 feet above mean low tide qnd reclaiming approximately 18 acres of water lots by disposal of land ex- cavation and slip dredging materials behind a riprap bulkhead wall. This reclaimed land will ultimately be de- voted to warehouse sites and railroad switching yard. The present contract is approximately 65 per cent. com- plete. The superstructure of steel sheds and concrete warehouses is now under consideration. Dredging to con- nect slip areas to the proposed gov- ernment 33 foot channel has been 50 per_cent. completed. The foregofng information included in the folder was made doubly impres- sive to the visiting delegates through a lucid and interesting description by Resident Engineer Waldo E. Clarke. FEES TO BE PAID . GAME PROTECTORS. Attorney General Explains the Law o This Subject. p Attorney General George E. Hinman has given the following opinion to John M. Crampton, superintendent of fish- eries and game, relative to arrests by special protectors: John M. Crampton, Esq., Superintend- ent of Fisheries and Game: Dear Sir: In your communication of the 16th inst. you state: “The question has arisen whether a special protector making an arrest for violation of the fish and game laws is entitled to the regular officer's fees in such cases in addition to the sum of $10 allowed him under chapter 234 of the public acts of 1909, or whether he is only entitled to this $10 and does not get any other fees, no matter what his services may have been, and I would like your written opinion regarding same.” Chapter 251 of the public acts of 1893 provided that in prosecutions relating to laws for the preservation of game, the officer making the arrest “shall be entitled—to a fee of $10 in each and every case whero conviction is had” and ““shall be paid said sum and one- half of the fine or fines imposed.” This act was amended by chapter 82 of the public acts fo 1897 by extending its scope to prosecutions relating to laws for the preservation of fish and by eliminating the provision that the offi- cer should be paid one-half of the fine or fines in addition to the $10 fee. Sec- tion 116 of chapter 140 of the public acts of 1901 repealed said act of 1897, but in section 96 is re-enacted in sub- stantially the same language except the amount of the fee is increased from $10 to $20 and there is added a pro- vision that “fish and game wardens and special protectors shall not receive any other fee for their services,” there- by recognizing that without such pro- vision said officers would be entitled to other fees. Said section 96 appears as section 3100 of the general statutes, revision of 1902, and in section 4850, fixing the fees of sheriffs, deputy eheriffs and constables, is included a provision that “in “cases of prosecution for violation of the laws for the preservation of fish and game the officers making the ar- rest shall receive, when taxed as costs Dby the court, $20.” This same section fixes the fees to be received in criminal causesby officers for each arrest, trav- el to court or jail with prisoner, hold- ing prisoner in custody, attending court etc., without any provision that the fee of §20, when taxéd by the court, should be in lieu of said regular spec’fled fees. In 1907, by section 4 of cuupier 239, said section 3100 was amended by sub- stituting for the words “a fee of $20 in each~and every case tion is had” the words as provided by section 4850 of the gen- eral statutés to be paid to constables in similar cases” and by eliminating the provision that fish and game war- dens and special protectors should not receive any fees other than the special fee for their services, thereby placing said wardens and protectors on an equality as to fees with other officérs who were, under said section 4850, en- titled to both the regular officer's fees 7 The Tire That Was Never Skimped You know the reason for Good- year success. I'sthe basicreason for every lasting success. We simply gave the best. We gave it when we held a minor place. We built a super- tire, excelling every rival in five important ways. We gave it in days of small output—when these costly extra features compelled a price one- fifth above our rivals. Men Found Out Users proved that these tires savedtrouble,gavegreatermileage, cut down cost of upkeep. They told others, and Goodyear sales grew fast. Soon Goodyears reached top place in Tire- dom, and they've held it ever since. (Goop No-Rim-Cat Tires With All-Weat Goodyear Service Stations—Tires In Stock T. H. ELDREDGE C. V. PENDLETON, JR.

Plainfield . Putnam Danielson 234 was passed, being approved Aug. 19, 1909, and thereby section 3100 as amended by chapter 239 of the public acts of 1907 was repealed by implica- tion. Said chapter 234 of the public acts of 1909 reads as follows: “In all prosecutions for the violation of any law for the protection of fish and game, the fish and game warden, his deputy, special protector or other officer making - the. arrest shall be en- titled to a fee of $10 in each and every case where conviction is had, which fee shall be taxed by the court as costs against the defendant, and eaid fish and game warden, his deputy, special protector or other officer shail be paid said sum; provided, that the court tax- ing the costs in any additional cases against the same defendant shall do 80 _only as justice shall require.” The only changes effected by this legislation of 1909 were to reduce the Epecial fee to $10, and to make its taxation by the court obligafory (ex- cept in additional cases against the sume defendant) instead of discretion- ary as theretofore. The provisions of said chapter 234, which is the present law, construed in the light of the prior legislation on the subject and the object of the statute, apparent since its inception to provide compensation in addition to the regular ofiicer’s fees in order to stimulate en- forcement of laws for the protection of fish and game, clearly entitle any offi- cer making the arrest in a case where conviction is had, to both the special fee of $10 and the regular officer’s fees provided by section 4850 of the general statutes. If no conviction is had, the officer is, of course, entitled only to the regular fees which would be taxed, un- der section 4850, in any criminal case. Respectfully submitted. (Signed) GEORGE E.
