GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES ON THAMES RIVER CHANNEL. Proposed to Dredge Between Allyn’s Point and This City. In his annual report to congress on the work of th eengineer division of the United States army, General Wil- liam M. Black, chief of the division, quotes from the reports of Colonel C. H. McKinstry, district engineer, lo- cated at New London, on the work done in the rivers and harbors of Connecticut. The report shows that the existing project for the improvement of the harbor at New London will be com- pleted by Jan. 1, 1917. It consists of a channel 600 feet wide, 38 feet deep and about 8 1-2 miles lone from Long Isl- and sound to the natural deep water in the upper channel; a channel 400 feet or more in width, 23 feet deep and about 6,000 feet long skirting the waterfront of the city; and for dreds- ing Shaw's cove to a depth of 15 feet. The river and harbor act of last July edopted the project for an entrance channel in accordance with cenditions named in house document No, 613, that after the secretary of war had satis- factory assurance that the state of Connecticut would carry out its proj- ect of terminal development the gov- ernment would dredge an _entrance channel. The project was begun in October and the funds will be ex- hausted during the present fiscal year.

It is proposed to use the available funds in_dredsing the channel between Allyn’s Point and the city of Norwich, where shoaling has taken place, _ GODMAN'S JUBILEE SINGERS Large Audience Heard Excellent En- tertainment Held for Interests of McKinley Avenue Church.

Work on New Road at Mohegan Park Discontinued. Superintendent Duff of Mohegan park reports that the ice on the skat- ing pond at the park is safe, but not in satisfactory condition for skating. Just before the snowstorm the ice on the pond measured little over an inch, but the snow spoiled it. Although some boys are skating on the ice, it is just snow ice. One of the features of the pond lies in the fact that the decpest part, which is in_the north center, is only four and one-half feet, while the average depth of the pond is about two feet, which makes the skating perfectly safe as far as drowning is concerned. The work on the new road which is being constructed from the main lake to Taftville has been postponed until spring. The men that have been em- ploved on the road construction have been let go and the work will be taken up again in the spring. Super- intendent Duff reports that he has had considerable trouble during the past year in getting the necessary labor to develop different phases of the-work at the park. = .

The Christmas mail at the Norwich post office so far .is lighter than in former years, although the business is gradually picking up. With Christmas less than a week away, Postmaster John P. Murphy wishes to remind/ the patrons of the office of the course that parcels and holiday cards must foliow before reaching destinations, so that it may be clearly understood why carly mail- ing is necessary. All® packages ex- ceeding the size of an ordinary shoe box, for western states, must be sent to ‘Springfield, Mass. terminal rail- way post office, to be reworsed in compliance with rules governing the transportation and workig of mails by_the railway mail service, No cards to speak of have been led as vet, and when it is realized that hundreds of thousands of Christ- mas cards will be dropped into the mails, that must follow the tine_as Christmas paci reaching destinations, senders should mail cards at once if same are Lo be delivered by Christmas. ‘Another matter that is concerning the postal employes, is the probability of having a storm interfere with the mall trains during the next few days. Two years ago a SNOWstorm two oOr three days prior to Christmas tied up traffic and paralyzed the mail service for the time. Such a storm this year would make absolutely impossibie the deliverp of packages and cards befc Christmas if mailed but a few. before the holiday, as the mails are enormous this year as compared with other years. Mail your Christmas remembrances now. The sub station in the Thayer build- ing is proving to be a great conven- fence and is a time-saver for many. COLCHESTER WOMAN TO RECEIVE LEGACY. Orlando L.
