RIVER CHANNEL AND HIGHWAYS City Likened to Chinese The June meeting of the Norwich Board of Trade was given over, on Tuesday evening, to a consideration of a deecpened channel in the Thames river (o this city, to a discussion of the merits of Norwich-made cigars and a resolution to indorse and use home products, and to the bettering of the highway conditions that one finds entering this city from New London. At present, considering the various approaches to Norwich, there might just as well be a Chinese wall around the city, President King remarked. Below Laurel Hill coming up on that side of the river automobiles struck as much as 15 inches of sand in the highway, and on the other side com- ing from New London they got stuck at Thames street and some even turn- ed back. He mentioned the disgraceful condition of the only public dock of the city at Rose alley, the single place where motor parties coming up the river can land. The dumping there was also disgraceful. In addition to these questions thai of trolley exten- sions was also revived and in the single hour that the board was in ses- sion many suggestions for civic bet- terment were brought forward President Frank J. King was in_the chair and shortly after 8 o'clock Sec- retary Henry W. Tibbits was called upon to read the minutes of the meet- in held in the town hall on May 18th and of the meeting previo to that, and both were accepted, no errors be- ing found. Train S@rvice. Replies to letters sent to the two railroads regarding better train ser- vice were read by President King. The Central Vermont officials wrote that on account of the business con- ditions due to the war, it would prob- bly be necessary to take off trains instead of adding any. Since the let- ter was written, thy have dona so, President King =aid; the 11.37 a, m. train south and the 2,58 train north, have been removed. The New Haven road called atten- tion in their reply to the S Maine express which _ now through here from New York. It leav New York at 7.25 p. m, and reaches Norwich at 11.25, making an e train for business men returni the metropolis. The State of Maine last year went through Hartford Putnam, while the Bar Hz went through had nothing but sieep- ing cars. The morning train at 8.10 and the 1226 give good connections for New Haven and New York, A Great Need of Deeper Channel. The matter of deepening the chan- nel of the Thames river was brought up next by President King. The sur- vey for the 20 feet channel has been made and the report w favorable but the board of engineers for rivers and harbors are not convinced of desirability of the proje in the f; of what they term its e: Mr. King said that he had e ad a pe sonal intervied at New London with the engineer who went over the river. His examination was favorable, but unless more interest was taken in the matter, the committee would turn it down. Mr. King told of recent vis itors in Norwich looking for a manu- fac They were pleased with sville and a ce below the cutlery but when they learned that there was only 14 feet of water the thing was settled. Here was one in- dustry lost because of the low depth of water., It was of vital importanc he urged, that the matter be pust before July 21st, which is the time limit. He was surprised that the overnment hadn't taken the er in hand. F. Dawley, the veteran lumber man, said that the tendency is to build large and deeper drausht vess depth of 15 1-2 feet is gua Dawley's Lumber yard, but often have to lighter vessels at New don at considerable expense. King remarked that at Gales Ferr the government is now dredging in the river.where an 18 foot bar goes across. Mr. Dawley said that he is ready to provide at private expense a channel to the lumber vards from the main channel. Luclus Brigss, who is connected w with the appel company ventur ed the prediction that unless the chan nel were deepened eventually th would be lighterage cost for all v and Norwich would be taken off map as a water port. Westerners Work For Waterways. the Fran Aubrey recalled ¥ Murphy’s report of the enthusia over water development he found among the westerners at the Atlantic Deeper Waterways convention in Washington a couple of year 3 King said he was there too, a surprised at the enthusiasm of Ohio iver men, work! for a five foot cbannel, a deepening of only a foot, to a place for unloading_coal. We have fourteen feet already and don’t appreciate what we have. This is & important to the city of Norwich anything that can come up. Barge Rates Going Up. C. J. Isbister, freight agent of the ew Haven road, thought that the amap's act and the restrictions on towing barges had Formerly any from starb killed _business. man who could tell port d and take orders from a tug captain could take command of a barge, but in consequence of new regulations water rates have incre: ed and where three years ago alm double the amount of coal was taken away from Allyn's Point, soing as far ‘as Worcester and Putnam, now only from two to three hundred tons of coal are taken from the barge there. The tendency is to more rail- coal and less barge-coal and when three quarters of the barge men get into the union they will be admitted to the American Federation of Labor and this will kill traffic just as it has on the Great Lakes and the Pa- cific. Therefore the tonnage from the government standpoint is less, but if we could make the government sce the future, things would be different. President King stated that it costs 15 cents more to carry a ton of coal from Newport News to Allyn's Point than it does from there to Providence. Committee A-nointed. It was moved by S. B. Palmer that a committee be appointed to take the matter in charge, confer with the city government and take action before July 21, President King named this committee: J. J. Corkery, John M. Lee, C, J. Isbister, H. F. Dawley and Lucius’ Briggs. Cigarmakers’ Resolution. For the Cigarmakers’ union, No. 407, of this city, Charles Rice appeared and presented this resolution, which was read by President King: By the Executive Board of the Cigar- makers' Local Union @07 of Nor- wich, Comn.: Whereas, The industrial security of any community is determined by the co-operation of its citizens; and Whereas, The Cigarmakers' union of S = e Made Two Topics Before Board of Trade—Approaches to Wall—One Industry Lost to Norwich Because River Channel is Only Fourteen Feet —Citizens Should Work for Twenty Foot Channel— Other Matters of Civic Betterment Discussed. Norwich are striving to advance the output of the cigar industry of ..or- wich; and Whereas, The union label of the Cigermakers' union is a guarantee agalnst child labor and the trust, and a guarantee of clean and sanitary ;‘)Onldiuani in a cigar factory; therefore e it Resolved, That we call on members ©of the Board of Trade, merchants and all public epirited citizens to demand home made and union made cigars. Mr, Rice asked that it be endorsed in whole or in part. Mr. King said the cigars made in Norwich were just as good as any made anywhere and was surprised that grocerymen sent out of town for their supply. Mr. Rice said that there are 35 cigar- makers in the city, but if home in- dustry and output were favored there would be_opportunity for 100 cizar- makers. The men work eight hours a day, getting from $15 to $20 a week on the’ five cent goods and from $18 to 330 a week on the ten cent goods. On every 1,000 ten cent cigars $20 is made and ‘the cigarmaker certainly spends this money in this he said. For every 1,000 five cent cigars, $11 is spent here. He cit\l one local place alone where the outpwut last year was 200,000 cigars. He said that he had lived in this city a year and a half and that at his boarding house Nor- wich-made bread was served, both wheat and rye. No more people bake bread in Norwich than make cigars, but he thought if people stopped buy- ing Providence and Springfield bread and other importations that e hundred bakers would be kept busy here. Clerk Charles S. Holbrook said he found Norwich cigars better than some from out of town. The res- olution was passed unanimously and before leaving Mr. Rice distributed to the members souvenir match boxes bearing the union label of New Eng- land made cigars and om one side the words Boom Norwich. Maplewood Trolley Extension. John H. Powelson asked if the mmitter of extending the trolley to Maplewood was dead. Mr. King didn't know of anything new or anything that could be done. He couldn’t see why the railroad company made an exten- sion up Boswell avenue and stopped ,300 feet from the park when they would have carried triple the number if so extended. Mr. Powelson said that there are over 600 interments in Maplewood and ordinary people could not hire transportation out there whenever théy wanted to visit the place. Mr. King suggested that the railroad company couid furnish a fu- neral car with profit if there were an extension. President Perkins claims the railroad had no money for such purposes, but it really was a matter of increasing the railroad’s busine: New Highway Into the City. Civil Engineer S. B. Palmer w: called upon to present the matter of mproving the road from Trading Cove to Backus corner, East Great Plain, part of the New London turnpike, in view of the ames street conditions. Mr. Palmer said the Chamber of Com- merce had advocated such improve- ments, and that survey had been made and the plans were completed and_ re: for exhibition. A gravel road was contemplated as between Oc- cum and Baltic and between Lisbon idge and Jewett City. This kind of road is ideal for automobil Mr. Palmer estimated that the improve- ments would add a quarter mill tax on the grand list of’ the town. There is no immediate way of improving the Thames street approach and the other could be done at small expense. Mont- ville had agreed to help if Norwich does its pa Mr. Isbister understood that Norwich could do its part under the general appropriation. Hall Broth- s have agreed to give the gravel needed. Mr. Palmer suggested that a special town meeting would be needed if the work were to be undertaken without delay. Mr. Isbister said that Norwich can't have too many good roads and he would e building there and perha he trolley would be extended n a loop line past the fair grounds. Some thought that the rc could de- flect travel from the city and that peo- ple would keep on through Norwich Town. Mr. Holbrook made the motion that the Board of Trade go on record as favoring the improvement of the road and then the meeting adjourned at 9 o'clock. Engineer Palmer exhibited his plans and explained some of the details. The etch of road that be proved T WILLIAM C.

The supposition that the man drowned here Sunday in the Shetucket river was Julius Couchon, formerly of Lowell, was confirmed on Tuesday when Undertaker Hourigan received a telegram from the man’s wife in Low- ell. It is understood that they have not lived together for 12 years -and she signed the telegram Mrs. Mima Couchon. She_identified the body as that of her husband by a large scar on one of the limbs. He has a daughter Alice who lives with her mother.

Robbins of this city and William J. Barber of Harwinton were reappointed on Tuesday trustees of the Connecticut colony for epileptics which is located at Mansfield. TWO WELLS SHOW NO TYPHOID POSSIBILITIES Report of Tests Has Been Received From State Laboratory—Two Gther Samples Sent By Dr. Lewis. City Health officer, Dr. N. B. Lewis, received a report on Tuesday evening from the state laboratory upon the two samples of well water that he had sent for analysis. Both were reported free from colon beilll, which show evidence of possible typhoid contamination.. Both were reported fit for drinking water as far as any disease germs were concerned although unsatisfac- tory in some respects. Both showed & higher percentage in bacteria than is considered desirable in water fer drinking, and one haq a very high percentage of chlorine which would indicate#Sewage contamination. One sample was from the Yerring- ton well on Fox Hill. Mr. Yerring- ton's son is sick with typhold fever. The other samples, which was the one high in chlorine, was from the well in Thamesville near the paper mill pond. The water from this well is used by a large number of people and Dr, Lewis considered it advisable to have it tested although there are no cases of typhoid which it was sus- pected might have come from the use of this water. Dr. Lewis has now sent for test two other samples of well water which has been used in families where there are typhoid cases. One is from the Bigelow well on Broad street, the doctor said, this water having been used in the family of Clarence P. Roath, where Mr. Roath his_daughter and his son, all have typhoid cases. it is understood that the Roath family blames their sick- ness upon raw ovsters which were eaten 10 or 12 days before the disease developed. Dr. Lewis said Tuesday night that he understood that the three members of the family who ate oysters are sick while Mrs. Roath who did not eat any has not been affected. The second sample of well water that Dr. Lewis has sent is from the well at the Polish church. The house- keeper for Rev. I. Maclejewski, pastor of the church, has been taken sick with typhoid and has been sent to relat in Willimantic to be taken care of. WEDDINGS. Champlin-Peck.
