Thread company home gardens will-bé at least three times as numerous this year as thby were last year.. Last vear 100.of the employes of the mammoth: company had home gardens, the company plow- ing the land for $1.a plot, and sélling the seed and fertilizer at cost price. The value of the crops last vear was $3,500, while the expenses were $1,000. This year 300 employés have already applied for plots and a banner year is looked for. James Smith will have charge of the gardens as last year. In addition, the company will haye gar-| dens at Recreation park for -children, if any desire to plant. To Start Pra The Thread company: baseball team will start practicing next week. Prac- tically the same team as last year will be availaple, as only one man, William Nichols, ‘has . éntered the lservice. A schedule of games will. be secured. Manager Jack McQuillan has a chal- lenge from the Newport Naval Train- ing school baseball team, but as they desire to play on Sunday,.and that is against the law in this city, they will probably be unablé: to play. here. OIL 1S SCARCE. So None Can Be Obtained for Use on Streets. It looks as if Willimantic would be a dusty place this summer, as- oil, which is usually used to lay the dust is unobtainable on account of the gov- erfiment demands for it and its prod ucts. Superintendent of Streets A. L. Gelinas also stated that it would be impossible to keep all of the Wili- mantic strests wet with water as the city has not sufficient apparatus to do the work. “ At the last meeting of the board of aldermen a sum of money was voted to purchase a ealcium compound to spread on newly made stréets; or any that 'had not been previously treated jwith oil. Several of ‘the <Norwich streets have been treated with this substance and give good service, but this material will ‘probably be scarce. At the present tilme tHere are.. four barrels of it in this cfty, but it is | likely that enough can, be obtained to cover the streets which have never een oiled. 4 / Recreation Park. The baseball diamond at Recreation park is all ready for playing but there will not be many games therd for some time, probably, as the Thread company team has not vet started. practice and the high school, which fises the dia- mond, has discontinued athletics, The park is the center of -amuse- ment in summer 'and all of the priv- ileges will be in full swing by May 1st. The tennis courts and croquet grounds have not been rolled yet. A series- of band concerts will be held at the park once a week as last vear, and the series will commence the last of June or the first of July, ac- cording to the weather. Another project controlled by the Thread company 15 the swimming hole on the Natchaug river. Last ¥er.the company erected two bathhouses and a springboard on the bank,-and this year a refreshments and clothes- checking booth will be erected at.the same place. Toby Mahue, who has, the refreshment privileges at Recreation park, will also cater at: the swimming pool. The bathhouses will be reno- vated soon and will be openéd within a few weeks.
