BURNS HEATING AND PLUMBING 92 Franklin Strest iers are represented in |- | | | { New York and” Noank,. the - world's metropelis and a Connecticut hamlet, are building ships for the American merchant marine. - Their methods of tackling the job are as unlike as the two communities. New York's shiu construction activities are centered at Shooter’s Island, in the lower bay, where ' 7,500-ton .steel freighters are erected at a plant created out of.the stress of war and equipped with me- chanical devices of the last word in modernity. At Noank, in a yard made famous by “Deacon” Robert Palmer 50 years ago, wooden hulls are being built by artisans’ who have more use for the adze and the caulking mallet than for forges and cranes. % Nearly. all the shipyards on ' the North Atlantic’ coast have come into being since the American ‘declaration of war. ~ Many are temporary, to be scrapped when, peace is proclaimed. But where the Mystic ziver:flows inf Long Island sound, at’Noank, Deacon Palmer built yachts, schooners, harges and lighters-for half a century. Around the plant grew up,a community of ship carpenters, - whose sons -became ship carpenters, and the second.and third generations of these Yankee crafts- men, readily adapting their calling to the needs of the nation in' war time, are turning out 3,580-ton freighters of the Werris’ type generaRy built in the emre‘irgeqcy fleet corporation’s wooden vards.- New York, the nation’s greatest port, thronged with the.picturesque shipping of 2 worll at ‘war, is.a powerful factor in the ; fleet program, yet its largest yards are in the territory of New Jersey.. 'Within the Empire State is a single group of ship production plants, ‘on Staten Island and its tiny naeighbor, Shodter's Istand, in addition to yards at Newburg on the Hudson Port Jefferson on Lamg Island sound and Buffalo at Lake Erie. ‘Along with several of the oldest, Connecticut "has one of the newest yards in :the east at Groten., The Groton Iron works, controlled, with the wooden shipways at Noank, by the Charles' W. Morse interests, has built 2 thoroughly . modern and permanent plant, where .steel - vessels of 9,000 and 9,400 tons are being constructed. Six ways are:served by a'force of 2.800 men, to be increased soon to 6,000, and the- first Jaunching will be held in Oc- tober. ‘When. the plant is completed Jate this fall ships ready to sail will be-erected’ at the rate of 18 a year. ——eeeeee e MAKES PLANS FOR , CHAMBER OF COMMERCE " When the annual meeting of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce is held in New ILondon this month del- egates are expected to register at headquarters at the Mohican hotel on Meonday, October 21, between 11 and 12.30 o'clock.

In fact every day's delay may mean 2n advance in prices. This is indicated by the statement of a local merchant Monday that his fine assortment of furs, bought last March, would cost him 35 per cent. morc at wholesale ifs purchased today. This assertion soumds reasonable, for. as is well known, pelts are grow- ing scarcer and scarcer, It is no long- er merely a question of competing with the FEuropean market. tbut of at_home.
