Strategic Value of the Highway. Ex-Congressman Edwin W. Higgins told of the strategic value of'a high- way on the east side of the river from Norwich to the submarine base, and he also told of the attempt to abandon the Navy Yard. Admiral Bradford in- terested me in the possibilities of that statién, said Mr. Higgins, continuing. He said to me, Mr. Higsins, if it ever comes to hostilities you will find a naval station on the Thames will be essentia] as a base. Arthur C. Brown, works manager of the Marlin-Rockwell plant, announced that he had received on Friday a tele- gram from the vice president of the company stating that the company was in favor of the improvement. New London Man Favors Project. Alderman Alton T. Miner of New London, a member of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, said he is strongly in faver of the project. It is absolutely necessary, if Connecticut is going to do her part, that we should have this highway leading down -the east side of the Thames, said Mr. Mij- ner. Dr, Franklin S. Wilcox, superintend- ent of the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane, told of the growth of the institution during the past fifteen years and of the circuitous route that pa- tiehts and friends from the south; east and- west have to take to get to the hospital. He favored the’improve- ment. Kobert W. Perkins, president of the Shore Line Electric Railway, also spoke in favor of the project.

We are ready to put our steamer in operation to Norwich when we receive confirmation from the Chelsea !line. ‘We will ask the chamber of commerce to confirm with us the arrangements, and good will. KAY STEAMSHIP CO. Representativé A. J. Bailey told of action taken by the New London ¢ounty members of the lezislature who are in favor of the improvement. .He presented a resolution adopted by the New London county members. Only One Side to the Question. There is only one side to the ques- tion, said Senator John H. Barnes, and that is the “east” side. And if it is true, Mr. Commissioner, as they tell me it is, that you have been over this road today, vou will agree with mwe when I say that although thers is only one side to the question, there is no “bottom.” Others' who spoke in favor of the movement to improve the highway in- cluded George H. Bradford of Mont- ille, auto commissioner for this co y; First Selectman Casper K. Baile Frank L. Woodard, treasurer of the Dime 'Savings bank, who has a cot- tage in the Norwich colony at Fastern Point and who told of the inconven- iences of present transportation facili- ties; Coroner Franklin H. Brown, who is a summer resident at Gales Ferry, where a number of Norwich men have cottages: "Arthur F. Libby, chairman of the Norwich war bureau; Edwin Hill, secretary of the Y. M. C. A; Selectman C. T. Landphere of Groton, and Dr. James J. Donohue, compensa- tion commissioner. One of the speakers characterized the New .London-Groton ferry as a “second’ hand merry-go-round ferrv.” This is the ferry on which the spb- marine base has to depend largely for transportation of material and sup- plies. . Statement by Secretary Branche. Herbert' R. Branche, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, told of the dif- ficulties Norwich merchants have in serving customers on the east side of the Thames. There can be no question concern- ing the co-operation of New London and Nerwich on matters that relate to the saving of man power or that calls for servics and sacrifice towards the winning of the world war. We have abundance of proof to present here to- night that this is so. It cannot be truthfully charged that Norwich from any other motive .than man saving economy js asking for this large ex- penditure of money. Norwich mer- chants are as busy as bees in attend- ing to the tradeé that is increasing rapidly in Norwich, proper, owing to the huge war orders that are causing our sixty industrial piants to run on double shifts. Must Conserve Man Power. I have been asked to represent here this evening the - Retail Merchants' Burean of the Chamber of Commerce, representing 555 business firms in Norwich whose patriotism has never been questioned nd whose loyalty to cur state and mational leaders in the world’s crisis has never been doubted. Following brief statements by Fran- cis J. Leavens, president of the trus- tees of the Norwich Free Academy, and Postmacter John P. Murphy, Mayor Allyn L. Brown ‘gave a summary of the evidence .and made the closing ar- gument. He urged the commissioner to give. the matter serious considera- tion. The following resolution, presended by ex-Mayor T. C. Murphy, was unani- mously adopted: Whereas, The highway connecting the ,submarine base with the city of Norwich is unsafe for motor vehicles, and .The improvement of this highway would be of great military benefit for the purpoce of transporting food, gas- oline, explosives, materials, supplies and men to the submarine base, the Groton Iron works and the New Lon- don Ship and Engine company—which latter companies are engaged 100 per cent. on war work, and . The town of Groton is rapidly in- creasing from 6,400 population in 1915 to 20,000 in 1918 and is entirely cut off for highway connections on the north, south and west except by inter- mittent ferryboat service over a dan- gerous congested railroad grade cross- ing, ‘and . S The state hospital for the insane and Connecticut Odd Fellows' home can only be reached by a circuitous route, and. 5 The towns of Preston and:Ledyard are neither disposed nor able to im- prove said highway, and The transportation by water of freight and passengers between New York and Norwich and between Nor- wich and the summer resorts of the easterly coast has been entirely sus- pended, and The summer homes of hundreds, of Norwich citizens are located along said highway, or beyond, and The city of Mcrwich has recently ex- pended $100,000 in widening the ar- teries leading into the city and has caused permanent concrete roads to be laid at the suggestion of the highway department of the state, and The Norwich war bureau and our congressman, the New London county caucus of representatives and senators, and the. officials of institutions, towns and government contracting firms have indorsed the project of improving the highway aforementioned, and Nearly three miles of said highway was improved by the state ‘of Con- necticut a year ago for similar reasons and by similar request, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Chamber of Com- merce of Norwich, Commecticut, incor- porated, at a hearing held this 22d day of March, 1918, do hereby and herewith reéquest the state highway Commissioner to make the necessary repairs and improvement of the re- maining connecting highway between the city of Norwich and the Groton ferry, and further, be it Resolved, That in view of the ur- gency of the situation the highway commissioner is requested to Dbegin this improvement at the earliest date possible. Pleased With Presentation. Commissioner Bennett thanked the meeting for the method of presenta- tion: of the ‘arguments and said he would take the. matter under consid- eration and would try to work out some solution of the problem. . Commander John Rogers of the sub- marine base spoke briefly on the direct connection of this road with .the war. He asked the commissioner to do what he could towards carrying out the im- provement. - The meeting then adjourned.
