As a result of the shooting Miss Richmong suf- fered the amputation of her leg, The defendants jointly demurred to the complaint and after the plaintiff had been allowed to amend, withdrew their demurrer, and filed a joint de- sive building operations are being car. ried on at the sub base and deliveries of materia] for this construction-are unsatisfactory at the present . time. New London is unable fo take care of the. demands made for material and supplies and the naval men are.look- ing- to Norwich to supply the badly nreeded ' deliveries. - The highway - be- tween Norwich and the " base is im very poor condition and almost im- passable in sections at:certain times of the year. The closing argument in favor of the improvement was made by Mayor Allyn L. Brown. Highway mmissioner Bennett, who in com- pany with a committee of the chamber of commerce went over the road by automobile Friday afternoon. an- nounced at the close of the hearing that he would take the _matter under consideration and would 'do whatever he is able to relieve the situation. ° The War Savings Campaign. Frederic W. Cary, president of the chamber of commerce, presided: at-the hearing which was attended by sev- erfl hundred, including representa- tions from nearby towns interested in the improvement. Before the hearing proper was taken up brief addresses were made by Howell Cheney, stafe director of war savings, and Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, local four minute man. Mr. Cheney spoke on the war savings campaign which he said in no ways conflicts with the Liberty Loan campaign soon to be lanunched. We are working towards the same end, saig Mr. Chehey. Rev. Mr. Ricketts spoke for four minutes on the income tax. He said German propagandists are saying that this is a rich man's war, That is a most malicious false- hood, said the.speaker...He then. went on to tell of the object and the pro- yisions of the income tax. Agitation During Past Ten Years Frank J. King, ex-president of the old board of ‘was introduced as the first speakfd on the highway mat- ter. « He gavejd history of ' the board of trade actigdi and public' agitation for the high %I during the past ten years. For the last ten years ~we have been striving with all our might and main to get an improvement in the highway on the -easterly ‘side of the Thames.river and now that it has be- come a war necessity we are embold- ened to appear before you Mr. Com- missioner and urge upon vou the im- portance of this h:nprovement said Mr. King. Mr. MacDonald once told me that this was the most picturesque ' and probably the worst road in Connec- ticut. It is in no sense of the word a par- allel to the one on the west side of the river as it taps an entirely different section of thé country with a larg- er population. Highway Commissioner Handicapped. The - highway commissioner has been handicapped - in -his desire for this improvement by the lack of in- terest shown by the towns of Preston and Ledyard through which this road passes. You can hardly blame the town of Preston - for this indifference - as the road passes through the extreme south western corner of the town. We have repeztedly taken up the matter with the selectmen of the town of Preston without result. The Dawley Lumber Co., at Fort Roint on this side of the river though only about five miles from the sub* marine base were obliged to come- to Norwich with-a motor truck of lum- ber recently to 2o to New London on the western side of the river and cross the ferry and on to the:base, a distance -of about twenty miles, you can see what this meant if :it had Deen 'a load of ammunition that the bidse had been reiying on. State ' Hosoital . Inconvenienced. The' ‘State - Hospital for the Insane also on this: site ‘of ‘the river ‘repre- senting an onutlay of over a . million accompanied by a otion to strike out, and the board of water commission- ers also filed a demurrer of its- own. This latter demurrer is sustained. CHENEY SPEAKS TO i LOCAL SCHOOL PUPILS State Director of W.r Savings Tells of the Thrift Campaign.

Construc- tion has been'in progress for the past several months and in spite of the severe wedther conditions this winter a' great’ deal -hag been accomplished The, money appropriated provides for wer plant, machinie shop, electrical laboratory, ordnance building, supply storehouse,, submarine - officers’ school, enlisted ‘men's ~ school, ~ barracks house about 2,000 men, quarters to ac- commodate about 128 officers, barracks for . -marine detachiment, detention building and dispensary for the medi- cal department, buildings for ammu- nition depot, and piers on the water- front for submarines and other crafts. Only, a4 small percentage of this con- struction is now" completed and with more favorable weather conditions in view " progress will ‘be more rapid. Much Material Needed. You can readily see that in ordel; the base a great deal of material is required for this purpose, and-after construction ‘is accomplished a great ldeal of material will be required for the maintenance and operation®of this base, .-In.this connection the supply of necessary. material nd time of de- livery. are very important factors. For the past several months we have been handicapped. in, this respect due to railroad and express congestion, which of course meaps a delay in our pro- gress. Delays are - something with which we cannot afford to contend, especially. at this stage of our na- tional emergency, and every possible means should be adopted to overcome this defect. New lLondon is our nearest source of supply from the south, and a great deal of material is heing purchased there. However, delivery facilities de- pend upon the satisfactory operation of the ferry. If the ferry refuses to run, or meets with .an accident, it means that truck deiiveries and traf- fice is suspended and that we are cut from this source of supply to a gre:xtl extent and operations at the base are hampered. In the past fortnight we have ex- perienced this condifion which is thor- oughly convincing’ that additional de- liyery facilities are necessary in or- der. to_expedite government.work. Furthermore, New London cannot meet all ouri requirements and it. is absolutely essential that steps be taken to bring aid.-from the north. Briefly. our requirements consist of all kinds of building material, machin- ery, hardware, tools, electrical sup- plies, furniture, stationery, boat: and ship fittings. engine room and fire- room’ supplies. oils, greases and lubri- cants, dry goods, packings of all kinds. lumber, metal in bars, sheets and plates, foundry supplies, acids and paints. office equipment, provisions and. commissary supplies. In connection with .the purchase of materjal for the government the law requires competition. Proposals amv sent out to the different dealers invit- ing bids. On every proposal the date of opening -is, noted- and the dealer should act promptly sending in his bid in time for the opening. In awarding orders on bids the supply officers consider mostly cost and time of de- livery. ‘In some cases cost is the most and ’'a Walf dollars and a pepulation of |. base, | important factor and in some cases time of delivery. Tt all depends on the urgency which exist! as to the re- quirernents. ( Reliable Delivery Facilities Important. In order, to be sucecessful in com- petition reliable delivery facilifies are very important, and I cannot too strongly urge you gentlemen to use your runceasing efforts toward having a-highway constructed between Nor- wich. and the submarine base which is a solution to the problem. This high- way wilt help to promote commercial activities between Norwich and ‘the base, will .give us unlimited competi- tion,~ together with 'réliable and ex- pedient deliveries. from. the north. This will naturally did us in our pro- gress and military activities and now is the' time that everything possible should be dome, to win this_war. In time of peace this highway®will still| be needed.. as ‘the -base is a permanent | naval establishment, and its mainte- nance. and operatwn will -be meces- sary.
