LOCAL CONSIGNEES ASKED TO RELEASE CARS PROMPTLY The continued co-operation of shippers and consignees is requested in the prompt nnloading, release and loading of freight cars, in a statement received by the Norwich Chamber of Commerce from C. L. Bardo, general manager of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company. The statement says in part: At a meeting of the Association of Railway Iixecutives, held in New York which was very largely attended, the fol- lowing resolution was adopted: “Be it resolved by this association, that all members thereof and all other common carriers, be urged to devote forthwith their utmost energy to the more intensive use of the existing equip- ment and that as a program to be fol- lowed in this connection, they should undertake with the co-operation of the public to secure for the country as a whole: 1. An average daily minimum move- ment of freight cars of not less than 30 miles per car per day 2. An average loading of 30 tons per car; 3. Reduction of bad order cars to a minimum of 4 per cent. of the total own- €d 4. An early and substantial reduction in the number of locomotives unfit Yor service ; 5. Should make more effective efforts to bring about the return of cars to the cwner roads. The measuring stick of 30 miles per freight car per day, and 30 tons per loaded freight car has never before been attained, but it is believed that such a performance is not impossible of at- tainment, with the full co-operation of the pubiic. In pursuance of the resolution of the Association of Railway Executives above «quoted the 'eoffrts of the operating organ- ization will be supplemented by a special sommittee who will give exclusive atten- tion to the movement, handling, release and return of equipment to connecting carriers. Based upon previous perform- ance, shippers and consignees will very greatly aid us toward the attainment of the performance set by the Associa- tion of Railway Execntives by prompt unioading, loading ; 4 release of equip- ment. During the month of June, 1918, which with but one exception represented the largest average car placement per day in any month of which we have record, there | was an average of 11,863 cars placed per day, and 5,161 unloaded. In June, 1919, there was an average of 9,092 cars placed and 4,650 cars unloaded, with 394 cars under demurrage with an average demur- delay of per car. In June, 1920, there verage of 11,907 cars placed, an average of 4.378 cars unload- ed, and 844 cars under demurrage with an average demurrage delay of 3.6 da Compared with June, 1918, there was an average of 44 more cars placed per day, and a decrease of an average of 883 cars less per day unloaded. On July 10th there was a total of 1,103 cars under demurrage with average delay of 2.9 demurrage days. On’ account of the failure of 33 firms and individuals to unload coal within the 24 hour period specified in 1. C. C. orders 7 and 9, it has been necessary to place temporary embargo against further ship- ments of coal to them. With the exception of holiday period when the largest amount of passenger traffic in the history of the road was han- dled, the aver: road movement has been well above the average of last year, and approximates closely the average for the heavies tmovement during the period of the war. ‘Within the next 40 days we expect to receive a consignment of 30 new freight and 10 new heavy switching locomotive: which will very materially increase road movement capacity, but we will be unable to obtain the full use of these locomo- tives unless there is a corresponding speeding up in unloading of cars when placed, as 85 per cent. or more of the cars received from connections are des- tined to stations on our line. We are working local, drop and pick-up trains, traveling switchers and way freights on Sundays in order to expedite the han- dling of cars. On July 1ith the total bad order cars, as compared fo cars on the line, was slightly.in excess of 8 per cent. This in- cludes 1,086 all-steel coal cars of our ownership, returned to us in bad order ter long absences, and which now re- quire replacement of floor, side and hop- per sheets. This work' is being rapidly pushed at newly equipped steel car repair shops at New Haven and Norwood Ceu- tral, Mass,, and by contract with the Keith Car and Mfg. Co., Sagamore, i Mass. Excluding these cars, the percentage of bad order cars to cars on the line is slightly excess of 6. We are special- izing on feature of car efficiency. he continued co-operation of shippers and consignees is requested in the prompt unloading, release and loading of cars; loading of cars to visible or carrying ca- acity ; placement of car orders in accord- ance with necessities, and reduction in the use of cars trap or transfer service when movement can be made by motor truck or other conveyance. While this emergency continues it will be necessary for us, in order to avoid an- necessary delay to equipment, to regulate by the issuance of embargoes and use of permits, but up to full transportation ca- pacify, the flow of traffic for delivery on our line in acordance with the rate of progress in unloading and in accord- ance with the more pressing necessitiea. Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, Towa and Texas are the five leading dairy states, in the order named. Grape:Nuts_ Needs No Sugar Street Improvements Nearing Completion Street Commissioner George E. Fellows said Thursday evening that it is expected that the laying of the cement on West Thames street improvement will be com- pleted by Saturday noon. It will then be only a matter of a few days, probably a ‘week, before the road will have hard- |ened sufficiently to withstand traffic. Mo- torists will welcome the day when the inconvenient detour around the West Side will no longer have to be used. The street commissioner also said that in all probability the macadam being laid on Lincoln avenue between Uncas and Oneco streets will be completed by Sat- urday. The work on the paving of West Thames street was started over a year ago and was combpleted as far as Ship- ping street. Here the work stopped ow- ing to the fact there were no 1arge water mains from this point to the city line. Karly this svring the water depart- ment laid a 10-inch main from Shipping street to the cit-_-e. and then the work of laying the semept was started. The work on the new Cement was &tarter.a little over a month ago, the first being laid from the city line to South street. After the cement had been laid to South street the work was held up because of the inability to get cement. The work was resumed several days ago and has been rushed to completion and will be open to traffic in about a week. The street sweeper which was pur- chased over#a month azo by the public works committee is to' be shinped about the first of August and should be sweep- ing the streets by the middle of the month. MEASLES AND WHOOPING COUGH REPORTED FROM NORWICH Two cases of whooping coush and two cases of measles were reported from Norwich during the week ending July 17, according to the weckly morbidity report of the state department of health made public Thursday. In the eastern part of the state diseases were reported as fol- lows: Diphtheria—Groton . : § Whooping cough—New London 3; Nor- wich 2, Brooklyn 1. Measles—Groton (town) 13; Norwich 2 Scarlet fever—Stonington 1. With reference to the vaccination of school children the morbidity report sa. Smallpox is increasing in the United States. It is the rule for health officials to be the object of a great amount of criticism « ConunUany. G Ah= A scourge and caused many fatalities. At the present time, the fatalities are fewer because of the mildness of the disease, but disfiguremeat is the usual aftermath of the disease in those individuals who are so unfortunate as to suffer from it. The general statutes of Connecticut provide that the school authorities may require every child to be vaccinated be- fore entering a public school. 1f small- pox becomes prevalent among school children in a town where the school au- thorities have not exercised the power they have to protect the children. the epi- demic should not be charged against the health officials. 0 In recent years, smallpox has been in- creasing by leaps and bounds in the United States and is causing much con- cern among the health officials who are acquainted with the situation. Figures demonstrate what is happen- ing in this country and what will happen in Connecticut if the “bars are let down” and school children are not vaccl- nated. School authorities should i on every child being vaccinated against smallpox before entering school and par- ents should aid in carrying out this measure of preventive medicine. The time to carry out vaccination is during the va- cation before school begins. Smallpox vaccine is furnished to all health officers of the state on request by the state department of health, and must be kept in a cool place to prevent deter?- oration. LOCAL TROLLEY FARES NOT TO BE CHANGED The New London division, comprising the Connecticut company’s trolley lines in ! eastern Connecticut, is not included in a petition presented to the public utilities commussion the Connecticut company asking for a flat fare rate of seven cents instead of the present zone rate, According to a statement made by President L. S. Storrs of the Connecticut company in the petition to the public utilities commission, the zone system of trolley fares and collections established under an order of the commission dated March 30, 1920, is a failure as a revenue producer. The company desires to estab- lish a kat fare rate of seven cents in place of the zone system in accordance with a proposed schedule filed with the | commission. In accordance with the petition a pro- Posed schedule is submitted. The petition states that upon the petitions of the city of New Haven, town of Manchester and other parties the utilities comm: on es- tablished a system of rates and s to be charged by the company upon all its lines except those in the New London division, and that system was put into operation May 9, 1 effect ever since. Continuing. the petition says: “Though your petitioner has made ev- ery possible endeavor to make such tem a success. and the same has had a fair trial, said system has not produced a revenue sufficient to cover the cost of service with any return whatever upon a fair valuation of property and does not now produce the actual cost of operation. ‘Wherefore your petitioner prays leave to install forthwith a flat fare system of rates upon lines with a base or initial fare of seven cents in accordance with the tariff hereto annexed.” The tariff schedule of rates proposed by President Storrs is as follows Flat rate of fare seven cents in sub- stitution for present distance tariff. On all rural lines fare limits to be located at aproximately 2.3 miles apart. On all short city lines the flat rate to } apply to the entire line. On longer city lines the fare limit to be located at a point mot less than three miies from the traffic center of the city. Free transfers to be given to all sengers from and to points not more t two and one-half miles from the traffic center. When the public utilities commission made its decision on March 30, the com- ppany took an appeal to the superior court, and that apeal is now pending. s SIGMA BETA PHI HOLDS OUTING AT OCEAN BEACH A dozen members of the Sigma Beta Phi sorority of the N.

(CITY MISSIONARY NORTHROP PROVIDES BEACH TRIPS Some fifty round trip tickets to Ocean Beach from Norwich have been distrib- uted to as many elderly people of the city by City Missionary Charles A. Northrop. Mr. Northrop secured the tickets and dis- tributed them for the purpose of provid- ing a day's outing down the river on the steamer Nelseco for these elderly people who would otherwise be unable to enjoy a trip to the shore.

Smith and the sanitary corps are ideal in camp. Three of the state guarders members of the Third Infantry, C. S. G., which is in camp here this week, were overcome with the heat yesterday.and one man is still at Backus hospital. There are a large number of old timers. men who served overseas with the A. E. F. with the reg- iment which is making a more than cred- itable showing. Last night the boys put on a show of their own and it was admirably present- ed under the direction of Capt. Marshall, regimental chaplain. Two or three good boxing bouts drew forth much aplause There was an awkward squad which could not possibly drill, 'in spite of the strenuous efforts of the energetic drill sergeant. But after a drink of imitation jakey” the whole squad “snapped into it""in regular army style and the ap- plause. by the delighted soldier audience was thunderous. Gevers and Waldron put on a tumbling atc that took the “house” by storm. It is said to have rivalled anything yet seen on a camp stage. The regimental band furnished music for the performers and after the show was over gave a concert programme. The boys turned out in force after the show and attended the dance at Pine Grove. Every loose board and hole in the camp fence has been discovered and by a little tactical “guarder” he can generally manage to slip into camp unnoticed by the guard after “taps.” A few who overstayed the time limit and who got nabbed are now cutting wood for the mess sergeants. During evening parade last night a man dropped on the field and the sani- tary corps, made un of Norwich men, jor C. C. Gilder- sleeve of Norwich, got him ihto the hos- pital in exactly two minutes from the tim ehe dropped. Tomorrow will be Governor's Day in camp and many visitors are expected. PLAYGROUND MAY BE OPENED IN GREENEVILLE Miss Julia McKay, supervisor of the Norwich playgrounds, said Thursday night that an effort is being made to open up a playground in Greeneville. If the Greeneville playground is opened it will give the city three plavgrounds. At the present time there are but two—one at Lake street and the other at the Falls schoolhouse. The wading pool at the Lake street ground is proving very popular with the children and at boht grounds croquet games and flag exercises are carried out. Story“telling and community singing are features of the playground program. Sewing classes,have been established at the Lake street ground and knitting class- es at the Falls. Next week the Lake street ground will be in charge of Miss Bernice Willey and the ground at the Falls will be in charge of Miss Mary Me- Intyre, who has charge of the Lake street . grounds this week. Miss Mary Canty has charge of the Falls playground this week. Much of the milk of human kindness is adulterated beyond the cream generating stage. OBITUARY. Mrs. Patrick Sullivan.
