Every merchant In the city town of Norwich is being urged to tend the meeting at the close of bu: iness this (Wednesday) evening. and It is said that a strong effort wifil be . meds to carry the fare incremss to the Podlic Ttilitles Commimion. * The Old and the New. A compari: of the old rates with Q-mm‘::mul!n'wu cents to come to Norwich from Will- tic, It posts 18 cents one way, 36 cents tor a | TOURA trip. The old rate was 12 cents one Way and 24 for the round tri Before the zons system went into ef- something over a year ago, it cost but 10 cents one way and 20 for the round trip. From Taftville to Nor- wich Is a 7 cent ride Instead of a 3 cent ride, and this of course makes 4 cents difference in the round trip. Increase of 32 Cents. South of Norwich the New correspondingly large. London to Norwich the fare is now 36 Cents, 72 cents for the round trip. ‘When the zone system went into effect over a year ago the rate was increased from 20 cents to 94 cents, making 48 cents the charge for tHe round trip instead of 40. Putting the zone sys- tem into effect and following it up with the 50 per cent. increase means a total increase of 16 cents for a one- way ride or 32 for a round trip. From Montville to Norwich it now costs 18 cents one way instead of 12. The rate before either of the two in- greages went into effect was but 10. Thirty-six cents is the charge for- a round trip now, this being an increase of 16 cents over the old 20 cent rate. Shoppers coming to the city from Yantic also feel the increase, as it means 2 cents more one way and 4 for the round trip. Norwich and Westerly Rates the Same The rates on the Norwich and West- erly road remain the same, for the present, at least, and the same is true with the Groton and Stonington line. It is understood that both these lines have entered into an agreement with the public utilities commission where- by they must advertise a proposed In- crease In fares a certain time before the increase goes into effect. SUPREME COURT HERE i . FOR SIX CASES One Action Goes Over By Agreement of Counsel. - There were six cases on the docket at the session of the supreme court in this city on Tuesday. The case of Frank W. Barber va. The’ Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. was urged by Iee R. Robbins and Mayor Brown. THe plaintiff got a verdict for being run down by a horse of the ompany and the court set the verdict for $1,000 aside. The case of John F. Craney vs. John Donovan was argued and the case of Jennie Ostman and ofhers vs. Fred Ostman went over by agreement. Tuesdy afternoon the case of Rich- ard O. Libby vs. J. E. ergan Co., was argued by C. V. James and Ar- thur F. Libby and court went out shortly afterwards. Fraternal Organizations Pledge Sup- port. Pledges of hearty co-operation on the part of the Knights of Columbus and Independent Order of 0dd Fel- lows, in forwarding the food conserva- tion programme of the United States Tood administration, have been re- ceived by Chairman Goorge M. Land- ers of the Committee of Food Supply and Conservation of the state council of defence. This makes a total of three of the fraternal organizations of the state ‘which have signified their intention of linking up their activi- ties with those of the Food Adminis- tration, the B. P. O. Flks having al- ready begun their campaign. Tore Down Poster. John Viroztek, who was born in Austria-Hungary twenty-four years ago, was before Justice of the Peace John D. Horsfall in Unionville Mon- day afternoon for tearing from &, Connecticut State Counoll of -Defence’ official war bulletin board a poster en- titled “Why Germany -Wants Peace Now.” Justice Horsfall bound Viroz- tek over to the superfor court under bonds of $500. The specific charge for tearing down the poster was breach of theipeace. Boy Scouts’ Uniforms. The increased use of the khaki uni- form by members of the United States army, militia, home defense leagueg| and various otter men and boy organ- izations makes it very desirable for us to safeguard our movement from_ un- falr criticism due to confusion "and misunderstanding occasioned by simi- larity of such uniforms to those worn by our own members. As has been announced previously, section 125 of the armv reorganization law specifically excepts only the Boy Scouts of America from the provisions restricting to the members of the U. S. army, navy and marine corps the right to wear uniforme peculiar to those branches of the government ser- vics or similar thereto. Already the war department is beginning to enforce this law regarding the authorized wearing of such uniforms. It behooves us to co-operate with the war depart- ment in any way within_our power. ‘With this end in view and in order that the Boy Scouts of America may be readily discovered and recognized at any time in case they are needed for service, it has been decided, for the period of the war, at least, to require all scouts to wear their badge of rank at all times, either on the coat or shirt, or better still, wear a metal badge of rank on the frcnt of the hat, as has been the practice among the English scouts since the date of their organiza- tion. The tenderfoot pin and the new size secon] and first class pins not only make a very effective ornament but immediately classify the wearers as members of the Boy Scouts of Amer- jca. It e believed that in addition to identifying scouts it will stimulate in- creased activity id scouts to qualify for second and first class degrees, es- pecially among the boys who have been been in the movement for some time. During the period of the war alf scouts and scout officials should wear the official uniform with this desig- nation.—Scouti A Mean Man. We have no ill feeling toward the woman who pays $85 for a pair of shoes—but we do hope they pinch her feet.—Washington Heraid. Hartford—The total amount for Liberty bonds raised ir Hartford to aate is still a trifie under $10,000,000, but with two weeks more to go boom- ers in this community are confident that the total reached when the sales close on Oct. 27 would be at least the maximum allotted to Hartford, $18,- 667,000, R 8COUTS PLAN RALLY FOR FRIDAY NIGHT Will Be Favored by Presence of Con- gressman R. P. Freeman. Local Boy Scout officials are ex- ceedingly fortunate in having secured the services of Congressman Richard 2 man. At the big public scout. rally Friday right at the town hall Congressman Freeman will make the presentation speech before awarding the treasury department medaly to the 22 Norwich scouts who sold 10 or more bonds of the first Liberty Loan. When Scout Commissioner Bruce telephoned to Mr. Freeman, the latter stated it would be a great pleasire for him to be present at this time. This meeting in common with oth- ers throughout the country Is held at the request of Secretarv of the Treas- ury McAdoo, as noted by the follow- ing letter: My Dear Mr. Livingstone: It is highly gratifying to me to learn that your complete official report shows that 7.740 boyv scouts have qualified for the War Service Emblems as of- fered in each community. T wish, it were possible for me to present personally each one of these ‘War Service Emlflems but this of course is impracticable. . T feel confi- dent, however, that you can- through your own officials, throughout the country, secure in each community the consent of some representative of the fedaral government, either a member of congress, a judge or postmaster, to reward these embuems. It would please me very much if such a plan can be developed. Inasmuch as the Roy America have selected October 20th-25th v their special drive in_connection with the Second Liberty Loan campaign, would it not be appropriate to have some special ceremony arranged in every city or town where thcse emblems are to be awarded, for Friday evening, October 18th? All of the scouts could be brought together on this occasion for 2 patriotic rally. This would serve to bring to the attention of the public as well as to the scouts the definite ser- vice they are to render our country during the dayvs specially set aside for their campaign, ‘With warm regards, I am Cordially yours, " . M. G. M’ADOO. The Norwich Scoutmasters’ Round Table meets tonight at the Chamber of Commerce to complete the plans for the rally. THE LIBERTY BOND Local Subscriptions' Are Now 397 For Total of $238,000. The Liberty Loan in this city at the close of banking hours on Satur- day totaled $282,800 with 397 subscrip- tions. Saturday’'s figures are but for half a day as the banks closed at noon. The mercury of the thermometer on Franklin square has been changed to | correspond with the total. In the Town hall this (Tuesday) evening there wiil be a Liberty loan rally, at which Dr. Benjamin Bacon of Yale university will speak cn the work ings of the loan and says that can be made for the purchase of bonds. Robert H. Fiske will also address the meeting. It is planned to have Tubbs’ band out and have community sing- ing. Mrs. Albert H. Chase will pre- side at the meeting. Middle Haddam.—Rev. A. T. Gésner, who for the past seven years ha- been minister In_charge of Christ church parish, Middle Haddam, and St. John's mission, East Hampton, in conjunction with his work as professor in the Berkeley Divinity school. anpounced to his congregation Sunday that he would have to be rcleased from the pastoral care of these two churches at the conclusion of the present monti. Professor Gesner, while retaining fer the present vear his connection witi the Berkeley Divinity school, has ac- cepted the appointment of vicar of All Souls’ chapel, Waterbury, and will move his residence to that city about the middle of November.
