Brown just after the Augus: meeting of the court of common council had opened in the council chamber on Monday evening. Some of these awnings are so low as to strike the face of a person walking upon the sidewalk, and many others are so low as to interfere with the Pbats or umbrellas of persons walking under them. Because of the manner in which some of the buildings to which some of the awnings are attached and cor ble to m all cases provide for suffi- cient clearance so that an umbrella or parasol could be carried by a person on the walks without interference with the awnings. I am satisfied, however, that for the safety of people on the street, as well as a matter of public convenience, no awning or any part of the same which overhiangs a public sidewalk should be allowed lower than seven feet above the level of the side- walk.

He can splice a rope better than any man in New London county and when Norwich was more of a center for steamboats, was frequently called upon to splice large hawsers.

He has also a wonderful mem- ory and in his younger days was noted as a public speaker. During his stay in California he found himself “one Sabbath in a rough mining camp and e decided to do some good on that day and he called about 100 of the miners together and delivered a ser- mon on the text “Love one another.’ that brought tears to the eves of the rough group and the occasion was one long remembered. The camp showed evidence ‘of the effectiveness of the discourse. Mr. Willlams is bound up in the hardware firm in which he was o active for 60 years.
