Because of the withdrawal of com- K:'uud air power which had been hed by the Norwich Compressed Alr company. wisch has now gene out of business, the street depi ent’s stone crushing plant oo Roath strect has been tically abandoned since the midd¥ of the month, and the praspects seem to be that it will be useless for five or six weeks more. It is probable also that it will be neces- sary 'to spend from $3,000 to $4,000 to get it into running order by supplying new power and because of other condi- tions at the plant. Street Commissioner James P. Fox said on Tuesday that a new 50 horse power electric motor had just been ordered and will be installeq as soon as it is received, but with the uncer- tainty. of freight shipments there is no knowing when that will be. Some sort of a building will have to be erected in which to house the motor. Efforts to tide over the emergency have been made by ordering crushed stone from New Haven dealers, but here again the delays in freight deliv- eries have operated and none of the storfe ordered has been delivered, al- though immediate deliveries was promised by the agents at the time the erders were given. One carload of stone was ordered last Friday and others were ordered before that, but none has arrived. Thig lapse in the supply of crushed stone has come at a particularly awk- ward time, as there was much work ahead for the street department which called for the use of stone. One of those pieces of work was the improve- ment of the West Main street hill, on which work has gone along, but it can- not be completed .now, aithough with what stone there is on hand - Street Commissioner Fox expects to be able to finish the street as’ far as Forest street.

RECORDS Is Probable Mark For This Month This Year, Unless the rainfall of Tuesday and in the few remaining hours of July to- day gives us more than we have had in Norwich all the month so far, this month proniises to make a record as the dryest July known in the history of the water department. Up to last night there had been just .63 of an inch of rain in the month, while the lowesit previous rainfall in July here was 1.30 inches in 1903, There have been but four rainfall month ushering in a country-wide campaign to educate the worker to loy alty to this job, a necessary element ning the war. Government experts Mave prepared a series of ndvertis ments carrving a powerful patriotic a; veal to men and women toilers.

Fuel Administrator Jensen Reports to State Fuel Administration. The state fuel administration has received word from Local Fuel Ad- ministrator Martin E. Jenzen of Nor- Wwich that a peat bed of at least five lacres and prcbably as much as e | feet deep has been discovered within the Norwich city limits. Local Ad istrator Jemsen is at present makisg ihquiries in an attempt to find what thachinery is necessary in the manu- facture of peat. He has written to State Forester W. O. Filley at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station for advice and has made the discovery known to the state fuel ad- ministration. Mr. Jensen said last night that he had nething to say about the reported peat bed and that it was premature to rasise any expectations of its value or availability. It had only been reported to him a day or two ago and he knew that the surface peat was of little value for fuel. The question was whether the lower strata were worth enough to put in the machinery that would be needed to get out the peat and put it up into shape for commer- eial use. He would not say where the reportéd bed of peat was in the city. One possible location that was sug- gested through other quarters was the Lucas property along West Main street near East Great Plain. After the Civil war the peat industry throve in Connecticut and peat plahts existed in Rockville, Coventry, Meri- den and Ellington. The high plice of coal made peat saleable for a time but when coal dropped to 36 a ton the public could no longer be persuaded to use it. It now seems possible that many of the twelve odd peat plants that thrived in Connecticut during the late 60’s and early 70’s may be opéned Zor business again to meet a coal situa- counts in July this year, which wera|tion that has not been equalled here -30 of an inch on July 12, followed by |gince the Civil war.
