Mr. Browning stated that the prup- er way to act was first to have a res- olution presented and thea act upon this. Mr. Kinne, said Postmaster urphy, should have made a motion adjourn instead of the one he did meake. Then William H. Cruickshank, the president of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce presented to the vot- ers a resolution authorizing the ~ expenditure of not more than $4,500 fir improvements on the highway between Backus Corner and Trading Cove. An interval follow- ed hefore this motion could be sec- onded, and in that interval Andrew Breed arose with the motien that the resolution be indefinitely postpgned. There was no delay in seconding this, and then the meeting adjourned and the rest of the discussion, of which there was considerabice for many of the citizens were just getting inter- ested when things came to a head and burst, was conducted without the town hall.

Grandson of George R, Case Taken 11l at Summer Home in Nantucket. George R. Case, who was visiting in Norwich, was suddenly called to Hart- ford by ‘the death of his little grand- on, Richard Case Kohn. The Hartford Post says of this promising boy: Richard Case Kohn, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert M. Kohn, of No. 19 Niles street, the summer shome of the family in Nantucket, Thursday. He had been ill scveral Qays with tonsilitis. His parents were vith him at his death. The family had been et since early vears old_and pu Middle school. Last June he was promoted to the ninth grade. He was a corporal in the West Middle cadets. From Middletown comes the follow- ing tribute Richard Thurs ase Kohn, who died , was a boy of unusua! prom- ise. ) sudden was his passing on that all relatives and friends are shocked beyond measure. The death is particularly sad in that it occurred away from home and at the shore, where the summer was being spent primarily to provide the boy with a healthful change. Dick, as intimates called him, was full of life; he was a natural wit and possessed a bril llant mind. In his studies he dis played a remarkable aptitude and at all times a thoughtful consideration of others. He was unselfish to a fault, and he was true in all that he said and did. We cannot understand his going. but we have tender memories of a life that was sweet and blessed. w. C. J. Middletown, August 13, 1915 POQUETANUCK NOTES.

Burnham, who became a member of this corporation soon after it was founded, was elected a director in 1878 and vice president in May, 1900, holding the latter office his death on the 17th of August, and in all of those vears he never missed a meeting if it were pos. sible for him to be present.

Apart from his business relations with the bank. his loyalty, his ablding faith in people, his genial manner, and the magnetism _that named m him, endeared him to his as-| sociates who all feel that they have lost a true friend; while his courage and cheerfulness, even in_ his-hours of suffering, proved him to be a genuine t; of Christian manhood, whose whole life Was an expression of the principles he pref>ssed end a model for all who knew him.
