Lady Assistant _ NORWICH BULLETIN, SATUBDAY, MAY 8, 1915 Charles S. Osgood was elected pres- 1dent of the Shetucket bank at the an- nual meeting held in this city ffty years ago this week and John L. De- votion vas ohosen cashier. Among other matters brought before the at- tention of the public was the high price of milk. Milkmen were charg- ing ten cents a quart in this city, while in other cities the price was _only seven cents. The Norwich Iight In- fantry paid a visit to Hartford that ‘Week and were reviewed by the gov- ernor and staff. Interesting items tak- en from the Bulletin files of 1865 fol- low: Four Sites for Town Hall. Monday, May 1, 1865—The adjourn- ed town meeting met in Treadway's hall Saturday afternoon to hear the reports of the committees appointed to consider matters relating to the courthouse and town hall. Four sites were named which in the opinion of the committee, were proper positions for the building proposed to be erect- ed. The first was the building down on a line with Frederick Prentice's house. A much larger building could be put up there, one perhaps a hun- dred feet square. The second lot pro- posed was the site of the old Mer- chant's hotel. The third proposition ‘was to buy the Asher Perkins property at the junction of Broadway and Un- ion street. The fourth lot named is that where the American house stands, on Shetucket street. Plans were ex: hibited and explained of the building proposed to be erected. The meeting adjourned to Saturday, May 20th, at 2 o’clock. Today is the last day for making returns of income for 1864. Also for returning carriage’s gold watches and pianos. All licenses expire and must be remewed. Heavy penalties are in- curred for failure to attend to these matters. Uncas Baseball Club, The Uncas baseball club, to consist of from twenty to thirty members, was organized at a meeting at the Waure- gan Saturday. The club is organized under the rules of the National Base Ball Association. Tuesday, May 2, 1865.—At the an- nual meeting of the Shetucket bank held Monday the old board of direc- tors was elected, viz: Charles Osgood, Isaac Johnson, Gilbert Osgood, Thomas G. Kingsley, William L. Brewer, Cal- vin G. Rawson, John L. Devotion. At a subsequent meeting of the directors, Charles S. Osgood was elected presi- dent and John L. Devotion, cashier. Three Norwich Generals. During the present war Norwich has furnished three generals—Brigadiers Daniel Tyler and Edward Harland and Brevet Major General Birge, and New London two—Major General Mower and Brigadier General Totten. Considerable indignation is felt at the course of the milk dealers in main- taining the present high price—ten cents a quart. In Worcester the price is but seven cents, and in other places the price bas been put down to suit the season. There seems to be no good reason for maintaining the present high rate here. Ten cents is more than a quart of milk is worth, at least at this time in the year. Consumers have the matter in their own hands if they will only combine to enforce fair dealing. Wednesday, May 3, 1865.—A. girl of 10 years of age, daughter of James Dooling, was run over on Shetucket street about 4 p. m. on Tuesday, by a team owned by O. Whittlesey of Salem.

It prohibi sports, concerts, moving picture exh: bitions and other amusements to whic bitions and other amusements to which an admission fee is charged. Under the bill amateur games which do not conflict with public worship or disturb the public peace and to which there is na admission would be permit- te he change in the Sunday law as provided for in the bill is as follows: “Section 2. The provisions of section 1 shall not be construed to prohibit any amateur game, picture exhibition, concert or other amateur recreation, on Sunday, provided such game, pic- ture exhibition, conceért or recreation shall not disturb public worship or the public peace, and provided no fees for attendance is charged or received directly or i “Section 3. 1, 2, and 3 of chapter 119 of the public acts of 1913 are hereby repealed.” BICYCLES WITH MOTORS MUST PAY FEE And Carry Registration Number Plates and Lights. Attorney General George E. Hinman gave an opinion Friday that a bicycle to which is attached a so-called “mo- tor wheel” is subject to registration as a motor vehicle and to the other statutory provisions applying to motor vehicles, and cannot be treated as a motorcycle. The motor wheel is made by a firm in Milwaukee and has agen- cles in this state, some having been sold. It is a wheel with a motor which is attached to the ordinary bicycle and operates it. The ruling of the attorney general will compel any bicy- clist transforming his machine into a motor vehicle not only to pay a license fee of $5 but to carry number plates’| both front and back of the regular automoblile size and carry two lights, one in front and one in the rear, The number plates are each 18 inches long and each weigh three and three-quar- ters pounds.

A. and Employes ‘Are Among Benefi- ciaries. The late George F, Tinker, former- 1y mayor of New London, left an es- tate estimated at $100,000.

SHRINERS’ JITNEY LINE, Sphinx Temple Ceremonial on May 19th Advertised in Novel Form. And still the jitney lines come into being. Some quietly; others with more ceremony and a measure of publicity. In the latter falls easily the Sphinx jitney line: fathered by Sphinx temple of the Mystic Shrine and press-agent- ed, if such a term may be employed, by Recorder Richard P. Martin of Sphinx temple. Anyhow, Mr. Martin claims to be secretary of the Sphinx jitney line, and he has put one over on the lines now running on the streets and avenues of the state by issuing books of jitney tickets. The cover of the little book reads “The Sphinx Jit- ney company. Twenty 5-cent tickets, $1._Good on All Eot Sand Jitney Lines of This Company in State of Connec! cut” Mr. Martin puts a second one across, because while his cover says twenty tickets the hook only has twelve. The twelve in order of print- Ing read, with City hall as the starting point: To county jail; to state prison; to Dr. Crothers’:” to union station ruins; to Nepaug dry docks; to police station; to New ain; to New Lon- don; to Garvin's hotel; to the Retreat; to Cromwell; to Foot Guard armory. The tickets accompany a well print- ed illustrated booklet = announcing a ceremonial session of the temple at Foot Guard armory, Hartford, Wed- nesday evening, May 19, when a large class of candidates will be instructed in_running jitneys and be licensed to run Sphinx jitney cars, at their own peril. On the front of the booklet is a por- trait of Tllustrious Potentate Henry S. Strong president of the Sphinx Jitney company. He has on his boiled shirt, black tie and red Sphinx cap, which he wears when running to get out of the way of one of his own jitney cars. His serious expression is attributed to his feeling of responsibility for his horde of unlictnsed. and embryo_jitneyers. One page of the booklet has a pic- ture of an express Sphinx jitney loaded to the limit with fresh produce grown by the farmer members of the temple and delivered by the co-operative plan of garden to table. On one page of the booklet Recorder Martin queries in red ink: “Why Pay $42,000 to Revise?” and gives a re- vision of the early laws relating to jitneys as they were.in vogue in Con- necticut. He gives a revision of the law in 1642, and goes on through the years. One of the revised laws reads: “A debtor in prison swearing he has no estate shall be let out and ordered to Tun a jitney.” Special guests of the temple May 19 will be Governor MaYcus H. Holcomb and Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. Wilson. The reception committee is Past Potentates Walter S. Garde, William G. Simmons, Stanley B. Bosworth, Dr. Joseph E. Root, Edward Mahl, John T. Henderson, George W. Klett, William W. Frayer and William F. Loomis, and Judge William F. Henney, Senators James A. Peasley, Edward E. King and E. Hart Fenn. CRUSHED AT ONECO ¢ WHEN BANK CAVED IN J.
