The possible locatfon in this city of the Rowe Calk company of Hartford, manufacturers of calks for horseshoes, occupied the attention of the members of the Norwich Cham- ber of Commerce at their meeting in the Transportation building on Fri- day evening. The Rowe company plant has been destroyed by fire and in view of the fact that the company desires to resume business immediately and to secure a location near the waterfront, the Norwich Chamber of Commerce has issued an invitation to ‘Warren L. Chase, president of the company, to come te Norwich and look over the avail- able sites here. Over the telephone Friday night Mr. Chase assured Sec- retary Charles W. Pearson of his wil lingness to come to Norwich today (Saturday). It is_expected that Mr. Chase will leave Hartford about 11 o'clock this morning and upon ar- rival in Willimantic he will be met by a delegation of the local chamber and will be brought to Norwich by automobile.

Isbister, chairman of the committee in charge of the proposed new high- way entrance into the city from New London, via fairgrounds and West Main street, instead of through Thames street and West Main street, reported progress. Road Workers from Inebriate Farm. A communication was read from the Groton highway commission regarding the employment of inebriates on pub- lic highways in this vicinity. The communication stated that as it was the plan of the originators of the in- ebriate farm bill passed at the last legislative session, to have the men sent to the farm by the city, town and probate courts, employed on the im- provement on the road on the east e of the Thames river between Norwich and New London and they asked the Norwich Chamber of Com- merce to take action on the matter. It was voted that the chamber co- operate with the Groton highway com- mission in regard to the furtherance of the plan, C. W. Pearson, W. A. Somers, E. J. Hunt, C. I. Smith and James Hiscox were avbpointed a committee of 5 to look after the Norwich end of the arrangements for the annual banquet of the Eastern Connecticut Develop- ment committee which is to be held The New London Chamber of Commerce is making the general for the outing, ed that ined the bulletins now r has j national body the National are arriving weekly and it was de- cided that the Bulletins be hung in the chamber rooms in the Transpor- tation building where the members may go at any time to look them over. The bulletins contain a vast amount of interesting reading regard- ing current topics. Upbuilding of Merchant Marine. The following questions submitted in the report of the special commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America on the upbuilding of the merchant marine were favorably ‘voted upon at the meeting: Do you favor subventions from the government to establish regular mail and freight lines under the American flag to countries in which the com- mercial interests of the United States are important and’ to American de- pendencies? S The committee recommends the cre- ation of a federal shipping board to investigate and report to congress re- garding the navigation laws and to have full jurisdiction under the law in all matters pertaining to over-sea transportation. The committee recommends that the government subscribe to the entire stock of a marine development com- pany with a capital of thirty million dollars this company to have author- ity for seven years to lend, —under supervision of the federal shipping board, upon security of first mort- gages on merchant vessels taking as evidence of this indebtedness bonds which ‘bear a fair rate of interest and contain provisions for amortization, the' devolpment committee to guar antee the bonds as to principal and interest and sell them to the public. The committee recommends that the ocean mail law of 1891 be amended by lowering the speed for first class steamers from 20 to 16 knots and from second class steamers from 16 to 12 knots, and by making the compensa- tion adequate to permit the establish- ment of lines of steamships carrying both mail and freight. The committee recommends that there should be legislation abolishing deferred rebates and providing for supervisions of rates by the federal shipping board with requirements for filing with the board of schedules of rates and all agreements among over- sea lines. The committee ° recom- mends that federal licenses should be taken . * hv lines, domestic and for- eign, engaged in shipping between ports of the United States and other countries. All of these questions were voted ves at the State Chamber of Com- merce meeting in Hartford several days ago. Will Change Signs. E. C. Jewett, D. T.
