James L. Case, T. C. Mur- phy, Charles R. Butts, L. M. Young. E. O. Rodier, Richard L. Tarrent, Shepard B. Palmer and Arthur M. Thompson all expressed their opinions on the matter and offered suggestions that might solve the problem for Norwich. Mr. Case was the first speaker after the luncheon and called attention to how Norwich a few years ago had a surplus of vacant houses but that now it was different, every available rent having been taken. No city can grow faster| that the growth of the homes. Mr. Case| said that he did not believe that Nor- wich would stand still. we must either =o forward orSwe will fall backward. To go forward we must have more homes to accommodate the people that come to Norwich Wwith new industries and unless we have, homes fo® new industries they will ot come here. Mr. Case then introduced T. C. Mur- Phy, who spoke to the meeting as a cu- izen. Mr. Murphy said that Norwich had the same problem confronting it as many other cities. When we look at the build- ing permits issued by the fire marshal during the past ten vears we see how little building of Sew homes has been done. Tt is up to the people of Norwich to build homes. But why don't they build? The banks are as liberal as the law allows and any deserving person v hardly ever refused a first mortgage loan. I suggest that the manufactur- ers pay their pro rata share in the con-| struction of new homes. this will not only give their own emploves a place to live but will release other houses for people coming to our city. Transporta- tion is another thing that makes a city. The legislators should bear this in mind and help keep the trolleys running b; acts that will cive them more funds. Cities should not compel trollev com- panies to stand part of the expense or ! improving highws To return to the housing problem there are many large houses in Norwich that could be into apartment houses and I su this be done. \ Richard T. Tarrant real estate broker, of rents in the ci that i the brokers deperded on the renting of | the houses they would go out of busi- ness. Mr. Tarrant advised that anyons with spare capital should invest it in apartment houses as the returns were never greater. Land is cheap and any kind of an apartment house would be a paying venture. Shepard E. Palmer as an engineer, said that the cause of the shortage was due largely to the advance in wages as the man wants a better home as his in- come increases. Why don't people build can be answered by saying that it is pasier to get equally large returns on| money invested in another way without as much trouble. The cost of materials is a thing that prevents buildinz. Mr.| Palmer thought that an increase in the first mortgage loans and in their power to be as liberal as possi- ble. Mr. Butts told of the terms on which loans for building could be se- cured. Ernest O. Rodier, president of the Building and Loan ciation, spoke at length on how the association was will- ing to help those who wished to build their own houses. He told how the membership in the association was now 275, bringing in about $1,800 per month | and that there were about 1,600 shares out. Mr. Rodier said that there was $30.- 000 available for loans. would do all} we are helping others to buy hi have got to have homes to get industri here.

A musical play in three acts and four scenes, The Rainbow Girl, was produced at the Davis theatre Wednesday night with a well selected cast that made the performance one to draw plentiful ap- plause from the full house. The plot pre- sents nothing startling in the way of variety and the action of the play is rather sedate, but there was much in the individual work of the cast that caught the pronounced favor of the house. Katherine Shoup as The Rainbow Girl played the part acceptably and displayed a soprano voice of pleasing quality though not of great power, and had a good leading man in George Lydecker, an English lord incognito, wsa marries The Rainbow Girl and takes her home among his_aristocratic relatives. Sam Sidman had the house with him for his comedy work and a capital piece of character werk was done by Martin Ben- nett as the English butler. Johnnie Jor- dan, soubrette, and Joseph Daniels as a footman scored. a decided hit for their elever dance numbers and were called back for encores.
