The Broadway Congregational church Brotherhood held its third meeting of the season on Friday evening in the Sunday school room. at the church, having an attendance of about 60 when the meeting was called to order at § o'clock by President Herbert W.

OBITUARY. Miss Sarah W. Hakes. Miss Sarah W. Hakes died Tuesday evening at the home of her cousin, Miss Jara Morse, of Forestville. The last iliness was of several months' du- ration, but she had been an invalid for three years. Miss Hakes was the daughter of Capt. Isaac Hakes and Mary Wiliiams Hakes, who was a_sis- ter of the late Mrs. Charles L. Morse of Forestville. She was born in Nor- wich, but the greater part of her life was spent in Windsor, where after the cdeath of her father and mother she made her home with her aumts, Miss Julia S. Willlams and Mrs. Francis. For a number of years she taught in Hayden Hall, Miss Williams’ school for girls. She was an unusually successful teacher, having a quiet strength that carried ‘great influence with her pupils. For several years she studled in Germany, and the German language was her specialty. Later she taught in the Windsor High school. Three years ago, follow- ing a breaking down in health, she went to Forestville and has made her home there with Miss Morse. Miss Hakes was a devout member of Grace Episcopal church, Windsor. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. William Philip Downes, rec- tor of Trinity Episcopal parish, For- estville, Friday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. Two_of her favorite hymns were read by Mr. Downes.

There is no doubt whatever that the bureau system is the best of all sys- tems, said Charles A. Pease, president of the State Chamber of Commerce, at the open meeting held in Buckingham Memorial on Friday evening by the Norwich Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was principally called for the purpose of securing unity among the chamber members in the bureau work recently started and which it is hoped will be of benefit to not only the Nor- wich Chamber of Commerce, but the city as well. The meeting was the first presided over by William A. Som- ers as president, to which office he was elevated at the annual meeting held last month. President Somers called the gather- ing to order shortly after 8 o'clock and after the roll call of officers Secretary Charles W. Pearson read the report of the last meeting. which was accepted. The chairmen of the marcantile, state, new industries and agriculture bureaus reported progress. Organization meet- ings have been held and the bureaus are getting ready for a strenuous s son. Under the head of new business Herbert R. Branche spoke of the na- tional rivers and harbors convention which is to be held at Washington, D. C., Dec. 7-10, and offered in nomination as delegate from the local body, the name of Vice President Joseph T. Cruttenden. The nomination stood and Mr. Cruttenden was declared elected as_delegate. Secretary Pearson announced that any questions or matters which the members wish to bring to the attention of the bureaus should be addressed to him and he will see that they get into the right channels. State President P In introducing Charles A. Pease as the speaker of the evening Preesident Somers said: This meeting has been called for the purpose of uniting our members together in a work that I trust will be a benefit to our organization, and the city of Norwich. Your board of directors have been busy planning a campaign for this yvear. They have named five bureaus, each of 15 men for progress in affairs of interest, namely, civic, agriculture, transportation, real estate and mercan- tile. It being a matter of new business and an important ome, it necessarily needs an instructor. We have with us a gentleman from Hartford who is thoroughly acquainted with the bureau work of the Chamber of Commerce, and I take great pleasure in introduc- ing to you the president of our State Chamber of Commerce, Charles A. Pease. In taking the floor Mr. Pease said that he was very glad to be in Nor- wich and that the officers of the state chamber want to be of as much as- sistance to the organization as pos- sible. Regarding the bureaus of the Cham- ber of Commerce, which topic had been assigned him Mr. Pease said: There is no doubt whatever that it is the best of all systems. It certainly has a great many merits. Mr. Pease spoke of the amalgamation of the two civic bodies in Hartford, who chose as their name The Hartford Chamber of Com- merce and said that the chamber now has 1,500 members. No bureau ought to push an idea of its own until it is sanctioned by the chamber, said Mr. Pease. Under the head of civic bureaus he said that nothing should be pushed until a thor- ough investigation is made. If you go out blindly and make claims you will probably be refused and then at some other time when your claims really merit attention you will probably lose them also. In this connection Mr. Pease spoke of the method followed in New Britain. Jt was felt that the light rates there were too high. A thorough investiga- JUBILEE SINGERS FROM TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Gave Programme at Central Baptist Church—Voluntary Offering of $57. Jubilee singers from Tuskegee nor- mal and_ industrial institute of Ala- bama, which has been the life work of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, were at the Central Baptist church on Friday evening, where they had an audience of about 500, who enjoyed the programme that the five singers gave and listened with interest to a descrip- tion of the work that is done there. At the close of the programme a vol- untary offering that was taken up for mounted to $57. J. E.

The firemen had a fight of about an hour on Friday morning about 7.30 o'clock in putting out the fire in a carload of cotton in the New Haven freight yard. The cotton was consign- ed to the Ponemah company. It was discovered on fire by a section man. The railroad company fire hose was used until the chemical companies from Main street and the West Side arrived and ran hose down from Laurel Hill avenue. The superstructure of the car was considerably burned and the damage on the cotton will amount to several hundred dollars. Water Board Met.

They got a complete set of facts and when these facts were laid before the New Britain light officials they got what they asked for. The Mercantile bureau was touched upon. Mr. Pease said that they have always had a collection department in Hartford and he told of the various methods used and of the results achieved. In Hartford they have a credit book in which are listed names of retail purchasers regarding their standing with the merchants. This is a very excellent book, Mr. Pease said, and he expressed the opinion that a like book might possibly be gotten to- gether by Norwich and New London. Regarding itinerant venders Mr. Pease said that the Hartford commit- tee is very active in following up vio- iations of the itinerant vender's law. In conclusion he expressed the ap- preciation of the state body for the :uvyporl given it by the Norwich cham- er. C. A. Call of Boston of the indus- trial bureau of the New Haven rail- road system was next called . upon. Mr. Call said that the industrial bu- reau of the New Haven system is one of many and that they have a nafenal association which holds very interest- ing meetings at stated intervals. Regarding the location of new plants Mr. Call said that there are about 150 Chambers of Commerce in New England and if they each got even one new industry a year it would mean 150 new industrites a year for New England. He congratulated the local chamber on the methods it em- ployed in endeavoring to get new plants to come here. Hopkins and Allen President. James A. MacGregor, president the Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. who was present, was called upon by President Somers and as he arose there wds thundrous and prolonged burst of applause. Mr. MacGregor stated that one of the things he wanted to do was to correet the impression of the pub- lic regarding the starting of the H. & A. company on the rifle contract. Men g0 over there and apply for work, 1 am told, he said, and don't get any, and then they say, well, they'll never get started. It takes time to get started. Mr. MacGregor spoke of the detalls of the drawings and specifi- cations being made from the model and sald that these have to straightened out. Then there is also the matter of tools. Some dozens or more shops are working now on these tools. It would be impossible to get the tools made in Norwich. The tools will soon begin to arrive, the ma- teriul is all ordered and Mr. Mac- Gregor hopes. that the company will get started in the near future. That :l]ll be the time when they will need elp. In speaking of the work of the Nor- wich Housing company, Mr. MacGreg- or said he was pleased to hear that the contract had been awarded for the erection of twenty.houses but he said tha: many more will be needed to pro- vide hcusing facilities for the 2500 or 3000 employes which the company is to bring here. D. T. Shea, one of the directors of the Norwich Housing company, spoke of the earnest efforts which the com- pany is making to erect houses and referred to the construction of the twenty houses as only a beginning. Following Mr. Shea Mayor, Timothy C. Murphy spoke of the great need of new houses in Norwich. All the speakers were warmly ap- plauded. On motion of Mayor Murphy a rising vote of thanks was tendered State President Pease for his address. Following the adjournment of the business session a buffet lunch was served. of Rl b Sy WS EERER s T AL SR B A AL TR S e A e S L L0 0 B oo R0 P R SR $2,000 SALARY FOR HEALTH OFFICER} Voted in New London—Mayor Then Appoints Dr. John T, Black. ( Special to The Bulletin.) New London .Dec. 3.—The action of the city meeting two weeks ago at which it was voted to disapprove the city ordinance which provided for the increase of the salary of the health officer from $1,000 to $3,000 did not end that matter. At a special meeting of the common council Friday night the whole business was gone over again and resulted in the passage of an or- dinance fi v at $2,000, which was carried with 7 dissenting votes, a gain of one in opposition. Mayor Rogers then appointed Dr. John T. Black as health officer. The ordin- ance and the appointment were favor- ed by Alderman Harrigan, formerly of Norwich, and the other members of the health committee. Both were op- posed by Aldermen Miner, Murray and Perkin: Mr. Murray asked some very point- ed questions that did not receive sat- isfactory response from the commit- tee. Alderman Miner spoke for an hour against Dr. Black on the grounds of his unfitness and lack of tact and his assumption of authority and also that he could not qualify under the law, which plainly stated that. the health officer must be a distinct per- son. It was also claimed that Dr. Black was health officer when the or- dinance passed that raised the salary and that under the city charter it could not be done legally and be ap- plicable to the present incumbent. Alderman Perkins also spoke in op- position and declared that unless he could be shown within 15 days that this increase in salary carried with it a general consolidation of several kin- dred offices such as city physician, in- spectors, and meant a decrease instead of an increase in the expenses of the health department he would have an- other city meeting called and that this new proposition of increasing the sal- ary to $2,000 would be defeated by even a jarger majority than was the ordin- ance that would have made the salary $3,000.

This meeting held November 21, 1912, and Mellen tes- tified that he had been informed on November 20 that the subpoenas had been served.
