Such was the announce- ment made Thursday by Rev. Joseph H. Selden, chairman of the general committee of arrangements, in a com- munication to L. M. Carpenter of Jew- ett City in which Chairman Selden has requested hifa to make arrangements for the placing of one of these huge banners in Jewett City. ‘We are now ready to proceed with the publicity campaign, said Chair- man Selden in his letter to Mr. Car- penter. I have contracted today for a series of street signs, banners fifteen feet long and five feet high, one of which is to be suspended in the main street of each of the towns on the Trall. These banners announce the opening of the Trail on Mohegan Trail, June 22, 1917, with a patriotic cele- bration.” The sien company will at- tend to the hanging of these ban- ners (which are to be complete by the end of the week) next Monday, but it will be necessary to secure the con- sent of the owners of the bulldings between which the banners will be suspended. Will vou kindly arrange for this in Jewett City?” The metal markers along the road will be set up just as soon as they arrive from the manufacturers. Norwich-New London Highway. Several days ago H. R. Branche, sec- retary of the local Chamber of Com- merce, mailed to State Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett a letter asking him if it would not be possible to put in operation a “flag- ging” system on the section of the Norwich-New London highway now under reconstruction, as it is felt that the highway ought not be closed during the summer months, when the traffic is heaviest. The letter to Mr. Bennett was as follows: The Chamber of Commerce of Nor- wich, Conn., Inc., wishes me to take up the question of providing some way, other than a wide detour, for automébiles to follow the main trunk- line between Norwich and New Lon- don_during the time repairs are being made to same. As you must be aware, if this road is_entirely closed during the months of June, July and possibly August, it wil Incur a great loss of business to the merchants of Norwich, and possibly New London as well. Realizing the great need of improv- ing the roadbed on this popular thor- oughfare, would it not be possible to take it up in sections and at the same time ill in_the trolley car tracks, mak- ing it sufficlently eafe, perhaps with the assistance of flagmen, for such vehicles to pass around the sections so taken up? It does seem that a high- way of such vast importance and such popularity as the highway between the aforesaid cities ought not to be closed during the months when the &reatest number of tourists travel over the same. The Chamber of Commerce does not ask anything. we believe, but what is right and fair. Wili you not, there- fore, use your every effort in the in- terests of falr play to our merchants and business men in eastern Connecti- cut to the end that this road will be kept open while repairs are belng car- ried on? A prompt reply was received from Mr. Bennett, who stated that he had referred the matter to A. W. division engineer, Norwich, asking him to get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce secretary and do ail that he possibly can to maintain travel over the road during construction. Our experience in the past, said Mr. Bennett in his reply. has been that If we attempt to maintain a roadway alongside the concrete construction, some automobilists are not patient or ~ourteous, and so serious damage to the construction work. Taken Over Detours. The secretary immediately took the matter up with Mr. Bushnell and through Mr. Bushnel’s courtesy was taken over the detours and that part of the highway .under_construction be- tween this city and New London. Tn a communication addressed to Mr. Bushnell and malled on Thursday, Mr. Branche says: T have already laid tht proposition before some of our influential mem- bers, with the result that they are unanimous in their approval of your plan as outlined, provided that you do put the detour in sud® shape as you feel will be safe and in keeping with a detour that is bound to carry the amount of commerce that this will during the period the main line is closed. Of course, if later we find that there is too much traffic or that large autotrucks and moving vans are a hindrance to the same and an an- noyance to_the regular traffic. as you suggested, I believe it would be a very wise thing for the state to open the second detour and so have a north bound and a southbound one-way route. Concerning the opening of the main line for one day. June 22d, to be known as Mohegan trail opening powwow day, our organization feels that it wouid be a very courteous act on the part of the state highway commissioner and yourself if this could be arranged. In talking with some of our directors they suggested that perhaps it could cause a deeper feeling of appreciation be- tween the automobilists of eastern Connecticut and vour chief and per- haps the general staff. However that may be, personally T do hove. in bekaif of the ‘trail committee, that we may have the trail opened its entire ‘ength on the big day—June 22d. On Boswell Avenue. In a letter to George E. Fellows, Street commiesioner, the secretary has requested him to place in condition the road just north of the junction of Bos- well avenue and North Main street. The letter follows in part: Assuming that you are informed concerning what is known as the Mo- hegan trail proposition. and the date set for the opening of said trail, namely, June 22d. In connection there- with 1 wish to call your attention to that piece of highway within the city limit lylng north of the junction of Boswell avenue and North Main street to the city line. One of the purposes of a trail is to call to the attention of that large number of people known as summer tourists who travel from state to state, sightseeing and enjoying what we in eastern Connecticut have prided our- selves upon—good highways. No bet- ter advertisement for any community con, we believe, surpass that of good roads. ~The local progressive spirit, we feel, is judged largely by this ou ward exhibition. In behalf of the Chamber of Com- merce and speaking for the general committee of the Mchegan trail pro- gram, I am taking the liberty of urg- ing upon you the vital necessity of placing this particular section of the city streets in a condition that we feel will be a credit to the Mohegan trail as a whole. « LARGE BANNER FOR EACH TOWN Signs Fifteen Feet Long and Five Feet High Will Announce Have All Eastern Connecticut Roads in First Class Con- Bushnell, | The Montville Roads. First Selectman George H. Bradford of Montville has been called upon to place the Montville roads In the best condition possible. The letter sent to Mr. Bradford follows in part: My Dear Mr. Bradford: ‘As firet seiectman of your town and a member of the executive committee for the opening of the Mohegan trail at Mohegan Hill Friday, June 224, I am writing you in regard fo the condition of the highways of the town of Mont- ville and over which possibly thou- sands of automobiles will pass upon the day of the great opening POWWOW. In going over the detours in the town of Montviile, around the part of the malin highway under construction, with Assistant Engineer Bushnell of the state highway department, he in- formed me that it was his desire to make the detour in every way fit to handle the commerce upon this great trunkline is as highly _satiefactory manner as it is possible for the sam to be made. Mr. Bushnell stated that he intended to put a heavy scraper over the entire iength of the detour and that he felt if the selectmen of the town of Montville would co-operate to the extent of hauling gravel upon some of the badly washed hills of the same that the highway would be in first class condition to receive any amount of travel that might be divert- ed around the section of the main line under construction. I would also call your attention to a small section of the highway within your town leading from Trading Cove toward the falr grounds. A short dis- tance of this highway ie in your town and at present is In an unsatisfactory condition. We intend on the day of the big trail opening to have our au- tomoribel parade routed through Nor- wich, over West Main street to the fair ground and down past the historical battleground where Uncas clashed with Miantonomo, if the highway is_placed in a satisfactory condition. Will you not see that Montville, as usual, does her fuil duty in order that no criticism may be cast toward the highways of eastern Connecticut covered by the Mohegan trail?

S. army regulations with regard to interior guards, patrols and military police. So that no individual member, who might be favored by a company com. mander can escape his share of the duty, regular percentage tables of regimental, battalion company and individual guard duty are to be kept by the properly constituted officers of the various units and will be checked and observed in the offices of the mili- tary emergency board.
