Rogers of the bu- reau of census, department of com- merce, there are over ten millions of dollars invested in Norwich establish- ments and over 4,000 wage earners are on_the payrolls. ‘The statement consists of a sum- mary comparing the figures for 1909 and 1914, by totals, prepared under the direction of Willlam M. ‘Steuart, chief statisticlan for manufactures. The figures are preliminary and sub- Ject to such change and correction as may be found necessary from a further examination of the original reports. The census of 1914, like that of 1909, with reference to manufactures, ex- cluded the hand trades, the building trades and the neighborhood industries and took account only of establish- ments conducted under the factory system. In the last census, also, as in that for 1909, statistics were not collected for establishments having products for the census year valued at less than $500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a portion of the census year, or which began operation during that year, and whose products for such reason were valued at less than $500. The word “establishment” as used in the census reports may mean more than one mill or plant, provided they are owned or controlled and operated by a single individual, partnership, corporation or other owner or operator, and are located in the same town or city. The reports were taken for the cal- endar year ending Dec. 31, 1914, wher- ever the system of bookkeeping per- mitted flgures for that period to be secured, but when the fiscal year of an establishment differed from the cal- endar year a report was obtained for the operations of that establishment for its fiscal year falling most largely within the calendar vear 1914. Percentages of Increase. The population of Norwich at the census of 1910 was 20,367, and it is es- timated that it was 21,000 on July 1, The statistics represent the estal lishments located within the corpor- ate limits of the city. The summary shows an increase at the census of 1914, as compared with 1909, except in average number of wage earners and capital. In the or- der of their importance, from a per- centage standpoint, the increases for the several items rank as follows: Salaried employees, 26.4 per cent; sal- aries, 22.7 per cent; primary horse- power, 18.1 per cent; number of es- tablishments, 18 per cent; wages, 7.9 per cent; materials, 5.3 per cent; value of products, 1.1 per cent. Capital Invested. The capital invested, as reported in 1914, was $10,549,000. In this connec- tion it should be stated that the in- quiry contained in the census sched- ule calls for the total amount of ca tal, both owned and borrowed, inv ed in the business, but excludes the value of rented property, plant, or equipment which was employed in the conduct of manufacturing enterprises. In the final bulletins and reports the rental paid for such property will be shown separately. Cost of Materials. The cost of materials used was $4,- 505,000 in 1914, as against $4,! 000 in 1909, an increase of $228,000, or 5.3 per cent. The average cost of materialy per establishment was approximately $43,000 in 1914 and $48,000 in 1509. In addition to the component materials which enter into the products of the establishment for the census _year there are included the cost of fuel, mill supplies, and rent of power and heat. The cost of materials, however, does not include unused materials and sup- plies bought either for speculation or for use during a subsequent period. The census inquiry does not include amounts paid for miscellaneous ex- penses, such as rent of office, royalties, insurance, ordinary repairs, advertis- ing, traveling expenses, or allowance for depreciation. Value of Products. The value of products was $8,471,- 000 in 1914 and $8,379,000 in 1909, the increase being $92,000, or 1.1 per cent. The average per establishment was approximately $81,000 in 1914 and $94,- 000 in 1909. The value of products represents their selling value or price at the plants as actually turned out by the factories during the census year and does not necessarily have any relation to the amount of sales for that year. The values under this head also in- clude amounts received for work donc on materials furnished by others. Salaries and Wages. The salaries and wages amounted to $2,592,000 in 1914 and to $2,353,000 in 1909, the increase being $239,000, or 10.2 per cent. The number of salaries employees was 306 in 1914, as compared with 242 in 1909, The average number of wage earn- ers was 4,074 in 1914, Summary For the City.

The statistics represent the estab- lishments located within the corporate limits of the city. The summary shows an increase at the census of 1914 as compared with that for 1909, except in average num- ber of wage earners. In the order of their importance, from a percentage standpoint, the increases for the sev- eral items rank as follow: Salaries, 44.3 per cent; primary horsepower, 20.5 per cent.; capital, 21.8 per cent.; salaried employes, 19.5 per cent.; wages, 17.2 per cent.; materials, 11.9 and value of products, 10.2 ‘The capital invested, as reported in 1914, was was $6,646,000, a gain of $1,- 179,000, or 21.6 per cent., over $5,467,- 000 in 1809. In this connection it should be stated that the inquiry con- tained in the census schedule calls for the total amount of capital, both own- ed and borrowed, invested in the busi- ness, but excludes the value of rented property, plant, or equipment which was employed in the conduct of man- ufacturing enterprises. In the final bulletins and reports the rental paid for such property will be shown sep- arately. Cost of Materials. The cost of materials used was $2,- 831,000 in 1914, as against $2¢6531,000 in 1909, an increase of $300,000, or 11.9 per cent. In addition to the component materials which enter into the products of the establishment for the census year there are included the cost of fuel, mill supplies, and rent of power and heat. The cost of materials, how- ever, does not include unused mate- rlals and supplies bought either for speculation of for use during a subse- quent period. As in the Norwich report, the cen- sus inquiry does not include amounts paid for miscellaneous expenses, such as rent of offices, royalties, insurance, ordinary repairs, advertising, traveling cxpenses, or allowance for deprecia- ion. Value of Products. The value of products was $4,940,- 000 in 1914, and $4,483,000 in 1909, an increase of $457,000, or 10.2 per cent. The value of products represents their selling value or price at the plants as actually turned out by the factories during the census year and does not necessarily have any relation to the amount of sales for that year. The valués under this head also in- clude amounts received for work done on materials furnished by others. Salaries and Wages. The salaries and wages amounted to $1,349,000 in 1914 and to $1,109,000 in 1909, the iIncrease being $240,000, or 21.6 per cent.

Y. M. C. A, HEARS FROM ITS FOREIGN SECRETARY. R. W. Clack Tells No the Work He Chin; h People of is Doing in North An interesting letter was received Friday by General Secretary Edwin Hill from R. W. Clack, foreign secre- tary of the Norwich Y. M. C. A., who is located at Paotingfu, North China. The Norwich Y. M. C. A. has supported the work carried on by Mr. Clack in North China since last fall, and this support has been made possible by a number ot generous Norwich people. In his letter, which is dated March 7th, Mr. Clack say: Mr. Clinton sent me a copy of your letter to him of Jan. 13th, in which you expressed disappointment that 1 had not yet replied to your letter to me, which was written on Dec. 2th. I am sorry that you were disappointed, but you must please explain to the Norwich people that two months is the very shortest time in which it is possible to get a letter to China and get an answer, and that frequently the mails are delayed so that the time is much longer. So they must not I am neglecting them if they fail te get immediate replies to their letters. You suggest in your letter that you would like to hear more about our building plans and our building site. e work to. get the . building was started even before the association was organized. _As you probably know, Sherwood Eddy has always been very much _interested in Paotingfu, because his schoolboy and college chum, Horace Tracey Pitkin, met his death here at the hands of the boxers in 1900, and is buried here. So when he was visiting here in the early spring of 1913 he made the promise that if the local Christians would get a suitable site he would be responsible for the funds for a building. Under this stimulus an association was organized a few months later and I left the provincial college to take up the secretaryship. But as there are no American educated Chinese at Paotingfu, and there are none of the Chinese who have had any experience with the association else- where in China, the possibility building immediately was not thought of and so very strenuous work was done toward getting the site. A suit- able plot of ground was found and a request made that the government make a present of it but there were so many other things to be done that the matter was not pushed very strongly. ‘However, when Eddy came ot China for the evangelistic campaign in the hall of 1914 he announced that pledges to the amount of $25,000 had been made for a building in Paotingfu as a memorial to Pitkin. ‘We immediately got to work to get our title to the site and as it finally seemed impossible to get the land as a gift, we changed our method of at- tack and after several months’ nego- tiations we got the land by purchase ot ! enve from an outright purchase is that wp can’t sell the land to anvone else. Our president, Dr. Cheng Ming Hsuan, did most of the work. The site is an old “yamen” (official residence) and contains about one and a half acres The site has only one drawback; it is about 75 feet from the street and can only be reached by a narrow lane 20 feet in width. We all feel that we ould be hiding our light under a bushel to build ia such a secluded spot 80 we are now negotiating for the pur- chase of a strip connecting us with the street. As to the building itself, though both the donors and our Chinese constitu- ency are very anxious to have it buflt immediately, the secretaries and direc- tors feel that it should be postponed for two or three years for three very g00d reasons; first, we have not vet had time to develop our financial con- stituency to a point where we can sup- port properly the work of a $25000 building; second, we have not the sec- retaries to properly man such a build- ing; third, we have not yet developed far enough to know just what style of a bullding is best fitted to the needs of Paotingfu. This letter is the second that Secre- tary Hill has received from the for- eign secretary, the first having ar- rived some weeks ago. The first letter was dated Dec. 31. At that time Mr. Clack had just received a letter from Arthur Rugh, who, it will be remem- bered, spoke In this city in behalf of the Chinese work, telling him that the Norwich association had taken up the support of his work. In this etter Mr. Clack told of what he and his assistants had been doing during the fail months, and also spoke of the enlarking of the Y. M. C, A. quarters at Paotingfu by the renting of a building adjoining on the north their main building. Met With Mrs. A. J. Sinay. The Philathea class of the wroad- way Congregational church met at the home of Mrs. A. J. Sinay on Benjamin street, Friday evening with eight in attendance including a new member. This was a work meet- ing. The members sewed for the Red Cross and helped fix tags for the D. A. R. The tags will be used on the Belgian Relief flag day. Musie was enjoyed during the evening and refreshments were served by the hostess. Surprise for Mrs. E. Grace Fowler. Mrs. E. Grace Fowler was ple surprised at her home, No. Main street, Thursday evening.
