CGeofge Brm visited relatives at West Kingston e Charles Peckbam ig ~ery {ll with no all | of €.} over the Thames inte a public-highway, which would be of incaiculable benefit to automobilists and all others who would have use for that great public convenience. The railroad com- pany has already given the bridge to the state, and now it is up to the leg- islature to make that higshway avail- able. This can be done along the same lines that prevail with the Connecticut river bridge, which would in the end be no expense to the state. The other project is for the improvement of the state property in New London harbor, which provides for the construction of a grain elevator on the state pier. Were that pier privately owned, there is no doubt but the elevator would be con- structed as a business proposition, pure and simple, as it would be sure to bring returns. . Senator James R. May has presented in the state senate a resolution to ap- propriate $500,000 for the grain elevator, it is presumed at the instance of the state commission havinz charge of the big pier. It is understood that a steam- ship company stands ready to lease one-half of the pier and change the steamship terminal from New York to New London if this elevator is con- structed. After ‘the war is over the representatives of this big steamship company say that there is never any difficuity in getting cargoes for the United States, but that there is always difficulty in getting a full return cargo. Therefore it is necessary for the steam- ship companies to get return cargoes to serve as ballast, to a certain extent, and yet make the return trip profitabla, This is usdally done by return cargoes ©of pig_iron or grain, preferably the lat- ter. In the case of the state pier at; New London the return carzoes would naturally be srain from the west. * With the tracks of the Central Ver- ! mont or Grand Trunk railway running | on to the pier, carloads of grain could be shipped from the big granaries di- rectly to the elevator and the ships ! loaded with despatch that could not be | equalled even in New York harbor. It is the state’s opportunity to increas the value of its property, and that's a | reason why the senator from New Lon don introduced the resolution asking | for the appropriation. It is believed the elevator would be the means of | getting the first cost of the pier back into the state treasury sooner than in the way originally planned. If the pier | s to be a permanent terminal for one | of the largest steamship companies that | now make terminal in New York. this | grain elevator is an absolute necessity. | It does not seem, however. that such a | big sum is required for the construc tion and operation of the srain ele vator. An estimate by a conservative | party, qualified to estimate, is that an| elevator that would answer the present purpose couid be constructed for per-! haps $250,000 or $300.000. Should the state deciine to make the appropria tion, it is possiblethat a section of the pier may be leased for the purpose and the elevator constructed by the ra road company, the steamship company or by a private company of capifalists | who can see in the proposition a profit- able investment.

London in this respect is true of every other town In the Nutmeg State. Bilis introduced by the gentlefnen from New London include one gives to the mayor authority to appolnt a clerk of the board of assessors, now an elective office, with a salary of $1,500 a year. Another gives the mayor the power to appoint a board of assessors with minority representation, and another makes provision for the election of a non-partisan board of school visitors. But these are but a few of the many bills from New London and indicate that New London will be just as much in the legislative floodlight as ever. Then, besides the big zropnm ns of | state-wide interest, in which New Lon- | don will cut a figure, and those here| ‘mentioned, is the act that authorizes | the board of water and sewer commis- sioners to pension off employes who have been in the service for 30 years, and who, in the judgment of the com- missioners, are incapacitated from fur. ther useful service. There are at least ' two of the employes who would be ! eligible to retirement and pension, men ‘who have been in the employ ever since the construction of the water system, and who, in fact, helped to comstruct the system. They are Walter H. Rich |ards, the superintendent, who has made ublic declaration that the proposed t is not to cover his case, as he con- siders himself just as capable as ever, and has no intention of retiring on haif pay. The other employe is Austin Ruddy, the foreman of the water works. He came to New London with the con- ractor and helped to construct the system. He was left in New London after the completion of the contract as the representative of the contractor in charge of the system. At the end of the year when the obligations of the contractor ended, Mr. Ruddy was en- gaged by the water department as foreman of the system, and he has sat- isfactorily filied the position ever since, and for a period of about 44 years. Mr. Ruddy is also active and has no inten- tion of going on the retired list. There- fore, it would seem that there is no for the water and sewer commissioners for the city of New London, especially if it is the designe of the commission- ers to'dispense with the active services of these faithful employes and force them to retire on half pay. With the cil, a pension could be provided for these men when the time arrives when it may become necessary for them to NORWICH TOWN Mrs. Henry Guile Installs Willimantic Officers—Losses at the Pember —Prof. Allen Latham Entertains Guest from Porto Rico.
