HOURIGAN COMH.ETE HOME FURNISHER 66 MAIN STREET . | of Jesus and Their Teachings Directors of the Norwich Brushed Aside. ‘At a meéting of the directors of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce heid in the Transportation ng on She- tucket street Friday evening a full report of the Falls avenue siding proj- ect from its beginning was presented by Herbert R. Branche for the sub- committee appointed in connection with the movement to have the siding established. 7The meeting was called to-order about 8 o'clock by President William A. Somers. The minutes ‘of the previous meeting were read by ‘| Secretary Charles W. Pearson and were accepted by the meeting. Other routine business was then transacted. The report of the sub-committee, Herbert R. Branche, Daniel T. Shea and Willlam W. Beckwith, named by W. H. Cruickshank, durnig his admin- istration as president of the Chamber of Commerce, to consider the request for assistance from large shippers lo- cated near the Falls avenue siding of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad for additional trackage on Falls avenue, and which was call- ed for in full upon motion of Mr. Cruckshank at the last meeting of the chamber was then read by Mr. Branche. In part the report follows: In order that a clear understanding of the matter may be brought before you, the committee feels' that a_short history of what has been done in the past by the civic bodies of Norwich, the obstacles met with and the fail ure to get the relief for shippers lo- cated on the west bank of the Thames and Yantic rivers that would be pos- sible were a siding extended up Falls avenue, will be accepted as a_part of this report, together with a short re- sume of how that part of the city of Norwich, known as Yantic Cove, first became the property of the city City Buys Cove Land. On May 30, 1874, the city bought all the land lying ter north of the Norwich railroad right of way Rogers Co., and_since that time have continuously filled the cove mnortherly to present..northerly end.” As soon as the act was, passed General William Stanton, then acting city engineer, had a survey made and laid out a highway extending from West Main street northerly to a point on tic street where the driveway now enters: the Falls Company yard. In bringing to your attention the fact that for over 50 vears the citi- zens of Norwich have seen in. that large area, hereinbefore described and known as Yantic Cove, a valuable as- set to the industrial progress of our city, we claim no priority of action in way of accomplishments or success met with in our effort to gain for this or any other future time transporta- tion facilities commensurate with the expenditure of public moneys already invested in the project of reclaiming this long recognized natural center for factory and industrial sites. It is a recognized axiom that without trar portation facilities industrial -develop- ment is handicapped to a desree that makes it physically and financially impossible to meet the sharp compe- tition ground in the world’s open mar- kets of today. i - From time to time'as progress in and Worce from the ¢ preach on the subject, Quit You Like Men.

In 1912 the Board of Trade through their transportation committee, under- took to have the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford road buiid a siding ffom a point on thelr tracks near the western end of their bridge over the Yantic river through Falls avenue to a point north of the land owned by the Norwich Industrial Building Com- pany. At that time the New Haven railroad agreed to build such a siding at ‘an estimated cost of from $12,000 to $16,000, authority for same to be given by the City of Norwich. John T. Young, chairman of the transpor- tation committee, took the matter up with the mayor and city officials at that time and worked on the matter “for over a year but was unable to get this authority. Committee of Three Appointed. The Norwich Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of the directors held July 9, 1915, appointed a committee of three consisting of E. C. Jewett, D. T. Shea, W. W. Beckwith, the committee being appointed at the earnest solicitation of shippers located on Falls avenue or adjacent thereto. B. C. Jewett, chairman, shortly af- ter his appointment, accepted a posi- tion with the Brockton Chamber of Commerce and took up his residence in that city. At a directors’ meeting of the chamber held January 10, 1915, H. R. Branche was appointed to fill the vacancy. At a meeting of the court of com- mon council held February 7, 1916, your committee caused the following Detition to be presented. The petition of the Richmond Radia- tor company and others asking for an alteration and enlargement of Falls avenue by adding to the easterly side thereof a strip of land 10 feet wide to permit the location on the easterly side thereof of a switch, so called, or commercial side track from the steam railroad was presented. At this point in the report appeared the resolution adopted by the council ordering the enlargement to the east- erly side of Falls avenue by the ad- dition of a strip of land, described in full in the resolution. The report went on to say: At a regular meeting of the court of common council of the city of Nor- wich held in the council chamber on March 6th a hearing upon the matter of the proposed widening of Falls ave- nue was opened by the mayor. There appeared and were heard with refer- ence to the matter John T. Young, Henry G. Peck, Albert J. Bailey, at- torney for the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, James C. Isbister, agent for the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad and E. H. Hammond, all favoring the project. A letter from the Norwich Industrial Building- com- pany, asking that no change be made unless extremely necessary, was read. The hearing was then declared closed. On motion of Alderman Gebrath, duly seconded, all resolutions with reference to widening of Falls avenuc were laid on the table and the entire matter was referred to the committee on public works for further considera- tion. Reported Progress on Matter. At a regular meeting of the council on April 3 Alderman Hourigan for the committee on public works, reported progress in relation to the matter of the proposed widening of Falls ave- nue which matter had been laid upon the table and referred to this commit- tee for further consideration at a meeting of the council held March 6. The report wa saccepted. Upon the action of the board of di- | rectors of the Chamber of Commerce at_its last meeting, held Monday ev- ening, Sept. 25th, a vote was passed asking for a full report of the special committee on Falls avenue extension. This action was brought about by the enforced ending of our corporate: ex- istence. While your committee regrets that there may vet be some delay before the tracks are laid up the avenue ow- ing to the financial condition of the New Haven railroad, we are conscious of the fact that all opposition to the opening up of this territory and ob- stacles to its industrial advancement have at last been brushed aside. At the request of the committee Sept. 26, C. J. Isbister, local agent for the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad gave for his company a report on the prospect of an imme- diate construction of a siding up Falls avenue.
