W-The senate today without discussion votsd to Committee Appointed to The local transportation and fuel situations were thoroughly discussed al a meeting of the manufacturers and business man of Norwich held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Manufacturers’ Bureau. Many of “the manufacturers explainbd their situation in regard to fuel and the means of getting it delivered. The policy of keeping the Thames river chanmel open during the winter months was discussed and a commit- tec is to be appointed to investigate conditions and to find a means of keeping it open. The meeting was called to order by |} C. W. Perkins, president of the Man- ufacturers’ Bureau, and the minutes of the last meeting were read. Mr. Perkins then called on Frederick V. R. Knpuse, agent of the Norwich and New York Propeller Co. to express his views of the policy of keeping the river chanmel open for navigation. Mr. Knouse's Views, Mr: Knouse stated that the pros- pects of keeping the chanmel open were good if only moderate weather prevailed. The steamer Cheisea by running every other day would keep the river open if severe gold weather did not set in. He said that when it became so that the river could not be broken the Chelsea freight for Norwich was brought from New Lon- don by auto truck as was done on Tuesday. He, whensasked, said that ke thought it would cost about $20 or $25 per hour to hire a tug tobreak the ice. Mayor Brown was ealled upon for an opinion but stated that he had no sclution of the matter and that he thought it a matter that concerned the people of the town ana that if paything .could e done we shouid- 38 C._James Isbister. agent for the X. Y. H. & H. R. R, stated that if the river was open as far as Allyn's Point his company could take care of all the coal that was needed and could be brought to Norwich.. He said that the trouble was in getting the coal. Fle said that he thought it would cost about $300 or 3130 per day to keep the channel open. Stephen J. Kehoe and R. W. Per- kins told the ‘meeting of baats which they thought might he hired to keep the river open. « Willis Austin, treasurer of the Ed- ward Chappell Co. said that if.coal could be had it was an easv matter to_zet it to Norwich. He told of the difficulty in getting a barge up the river even if Cheisea 8id makez 2 path Overland Transportation. First Selectman C..K. Bailey told of the work done by a committée rep- resenting the government that was getting a line on the automobiles, that might be used for transportation and caid_that if coal could be unloaded at New London it might be possible to cart it overland to Nerwich. Others spoke on“the plan of keeping the channel open and said that with the running of the Chelsea freight of general merchandise could be brought to -the city. » R. W. Perkins then made a meotion that a committee be appointed to in- vestigate the conditions surrounding the matter of keeping the chamne] open. The motion was carried and the chairman stated that he wou'd appoint the committee at a_later date. The local fuel sitwation was *A7 taken up and many of the manufae- turers and representatives of compa- nies using large amounts of coal were called upon to give their views on this serious situation that faces Nerwich.

Mr. Kehoo told of how close the Gas and Blectric company were running 1o their coal supply, stating tha: thire was only one ton left in ths bins when the New Haven road set jwo carloads Tuesday afternoon. H. R. Branche read a letter rexard- ing the situation form the fuel ad istrator at Washington which said that more coal had been mined and shipped during the past year than in any vear previous, but that the de- mand was so much greater that the supply could not meet it. F. R._Smith. manager of the Win- chester Woolen company. said that his supply was not as great as it should be and that he had to car his coal in now that the -iver was closed. Burnad Wood at Falls Company. A. C. Brown, agent of the Yalls company, stated that his supply of coal was running short. but that he had about 100 cords of wood on hand and that on Tuesday he ran five of his Eoliers with wood for fuel. First Selectman Bailey said that while the manufacturers might shut down their plants, what were the peo- ple in the homes going to aafor fuel. He said that he thought it advisable to get a supply of wood that might be uzed to supply those in want. F. W. Cary then rose to make a mo- tion that a committee be appointed to supply the poor with fuel. ° Mr. Austin said that this committee might conflict with the present fuel commit- tee. Mr. Cary then, wirhdrew his mo- tion. Advocates Use of Wood. Martin E. Jensen, chairman of the local fuel committee, was called upon to give his view of the situation.

THRIFT STAMP CONTESTS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Parents to Be Encouraged to Make Initial Purchase For Children. School children in e ana viilage in Connectic ing about America’s _war savins movemient through their numerous burchases of thrift stamps and war savings certificates. Thousands of puplls have already been made to un- derstand that the purchase of o (hrift Stamp will malke. it possible for them to have an active participation in the sucoessful prosecution of the war. Howell Cheney, director for Connecti- cut, expects that the children will re- apond at once to the patriotic appeals Soon to bs made by their teachers and others. An effort is now under way whereby the parents will be instruct- ed fn the details of the thrift move- ment 5o that they. too, can assist, not only by telling the voung people the details, but a'so by means of their own purchose of thrift stamps and of War savings cartificates. It fs probable that contests will soon s> staried in the schools throughout | the state betwean the pupils of different grades. By means of uml method Mr. Cheney hobes to greatly Stimulate the sale of stamps. ' Need- 2a Tesnons of economv nnd fhrift on the part of the children will also be taught. Teachers have been inform- ed that the war savings movement in- Volves a practical democnstration of the ideas of thrift and savine which they Eave been trving 'o Impress u on the minds of the children.
