And if the staff ‘'be unsound and weak, life shall fall. Get GOOD bread. Get OUR bread, for it is good. And your life shall have a stout, sound staff.

Citizens Should Take Lesson, Too, for Memorial Day Parade. Bxactly 51 men among the thousands of people that lined the sidewalks to watch the Red Cross parade here sa- {’nted the colors as they were carried Y. This was the actual count kept by a State guard company man who was marching just behind the company’s American flag and watched to see how many knew enough to salute the ceol- ors. A group of five clergymen, squads of 'soldiers and sailors, policemen and civilians generally all were impervious to any special feeling of a patriotic thrill when the flag went by and stood with indifferent air with never a mo- tion to come to attention or remave .

A report of the express conditions between this city and the submarine hase was given by President Cary in which he stated that up to the time that the chamber of commerce took up the question with the general man- ager of the Adams Express company the conditions had been poor, but that the management had agreed to ac- cept express, on the 8 o'clock a. m. train to be delivered at the Base and that conditions would be greatly im- proved. President Cary also made a report of the purchase of the dock used by the New York Propeller Co. for the old steamer Chelsea, stated that the dock had been purchased for $17,500. $10,000 of which was taken by local badks,, guaranteed by twenty of the leading merchants and manufactur- ers of the city. The remaining $7500 had been paid by the Kay Steamship company. He also asserted that the Kay Steamship company had as- sured him that they would charge freight and passenger rates much be- low either the railroad or the other steamship lines, thus affording a quick service between this city and New York at a moderate cost. The fourth item of business that occupied the attention of the meet- ing was a notice from the highway commissioner, stating that a propgsed change in the highway from the Sub- marine base to this city is necessary at Galeg Ferry. The proposed change is that instead of improving the old road at Gales Ferry a new road is to be constructed across private land, thus eliminating two very bad right angles and thus straightening the road. He 'proposed that the land be secured and_given to the state. A committee, Frankiin H. Brown, Na- than A. Gibbs, Charles H. Brown. B. 8. Crandall and Rev. A. S. Bush, was appointed to take up and investigate this matter. Fire Protection. The matter of better fire protection migsioner on Monday said that his de- partment was at the present time in no way to take up rhe matter of im- proving the northerly entrance to the city but finally he consented to consid- er the matter of the West Thames street improvement. After'some con- sideration Mr. Bennett announced to the committee ‘that he was willing t2 contribute $10,000 to the improvement of West Thames street as the staie’s share. Mr. Palmer stated that the present cost of the improvement would proh- ably be $34,000, substracting. thie state’s suare Lhe total to he oxpendel by the city would be $24,000. Mr. Pal- mer said that Mr. Bennett <wvas not anxious to take up the matter of the North Main street imprevement at this time. George E. Fellows stated that at first the cost of the new pa ment had been estimated at $2.50 per squarg yvard but that owing to covdi- t'ons prevailing it would most about $3 per yard. C. . Pearson and James P. Shert dan said that they thought that the North Main street should be im- proved as they said it was the worst piece of road in the state. Postmaster John P. Murphy also spoke on the question. Cm;\dida(as Speak. Democratic ecandidate for mayor, Jeremiah J. Desmond made a short addrecs which he expressed himself as @ citizen and tax paver and not asan aspirant to public office, He said he took the same interest in the city as the other citizens. He said that ro man eould promise anything but that he would live up to the oath of ofiice. H. Repiblican -candidate, Robert MeNeely said that he was presen: a citizen and taxpaver and that he en- dorsed Mr. Desmond’s remarks. Mr McNeely said that he was in favor of improving the thoroughfares and said that the West Main street hill shou!l also be included in the list of im- provements. He said that North Main street was a terrible piece of road and wished that every e should get back of the movement beiler the streets. was taken up and much discussion After Mr. McNeely's talk thh followed. President Cary in introduc- | chamber voted to endq the aciicn ing the matter, said that he knew of | of the Manufacturers’ acean in sl one citizen of the city who had dou- | porting the appropriation for ini- bled his insurante owing to the poor fire protection and the poor condition |- of the service pipes of the water sys- tem. Mr. Cary also brought out the fact that many of the factories in the city were taking means of proteetion and that if a fire should occur which would destroy a large factory there would be great 'difficulty in rebuild- ing and equipping it with machinery in these times. He further said that if a fire should occur in one part of the city which called out the depart- ment the other sections of the city would be wholly unprotected. He called on John H. Rogers of the U. S. Finishing company to state his views on the question. Mr. Rogers stated that recently a meeting of the manufacturers and the fire commissioners had been held in the office of Chief Stanton and that his impression of the condltion of the city protection against fire was very discouraging. He said that if a fire should occur in Thamesville and the fire apparatus from the Central Station should respond his plant would be left unprotected. The Na- tional Board of Underwriters inspect our plants frequently and they also inspect the fire department, and our chief tells us that the board says Nor- wich is not adequately protected, The personnel of the department is very efficient but they lack equipment with which to work. Our losses are small but it is a matter of luck and lable to-jump up at any moment. Mr. Rog- ers advised ‘that the people get behind the chief and push for what the chief wants in new apparatus. Chief Stanton spoke on the ques- tion after stating that the petition for the new aparatus did not originate with him or the commissioners. Chief Stanton told of the conditions of the fire protection in Norwich saying that the city was in need of ‘two moré pieces of motor driven fire appartus similar to the present Seagrave pump- er. The Greeneville station said Mr. Stanton is practically useless as it is a volunteeér station and the appara- tus is horse-drawn. _He stated that there was an en- gine house in Thamesville that could well accommodate a_ piece of appara- tus thus affording adequate protection to that part of the city. The" Nor- wich department protects an area of 26.3 square miles and there is only one city in ‘the state that has a like area. The fire loss' per capita last vear was only $0.24 and other cities in the state ran up into the dollars. We need two pumpers. In answer to a question by Mr. Reg - ers regarding the low water pressure Chief Stanton said that in some paris of the city the pressure is very poor and tkat it always needed a pumper tn force a stream of sufficient size to ac- complish anything. The pipe# are altogether too small. Shepard B. Palmer wanted to know if it would be necessary -to increase the payroll of the department. Chief Stanton said that the days of the voi- unteer departments were over and that if the city was {o have a station in Greeneville and Thamesville it would necessarily increase the number men in the department. He said that the department was now a mare skei- ctin as in some stations at times thers was only one man on duty. William Fitzgerald asked about tke frozen hydrants. Chief Stanton 3aid that in forty years there had only been three times when they had been proved streets. OFFICERS START EAST BRINGING SALSBERRY Deputy Sheriffs Are to Arrive in New London Tonight.
