President Lucius Briggs presided at the meeting which was the monthly business ssion of the club. Secretary Joseph ‘Weymouth spoke the attendance of the club, saying that the Norwich club was second in its division and with a good turnout dur- ing the remaining six months of the membership contest the local club stood excellent chance of winning the at- se tendance cup in its division. President Priges and Judge Nelson J. Ayling also |spoiie on the subject and urged that Norwich make a special effort to land this cup. The matter of the revision of the city charter was also brought up and T. C. Murphy, a member of the commissiop, spoke on the subject, saying that there was no doubt in anyone's mind that the charter that was framed 50 years ago needed to be changed to keep abreast of the times. Mr. Murphy urged every- ome to be present at the hearing this (Thursday) evening and offer any sug- gestion that they thought would be of benefit. He also urged everyone to turn out and vote on the matter when It comes up for decision In May. It takes 2 vote of 60 per cent of the voters of he city and it is everyone's duty to turn ut and vote elther for or against the charter. Mayor Herbert M. Lerou also spoke on the matter and endorsed Mr, Mur- s remarks. He epoke of the cam- vaign of education that is going on and urged that all people, men and women alike, read the articles in the press and familiarize themselves with the charter, He also said that any organization de- siring more enlightenment of the char- ter could have it as the commission stood ready and willing to provide akers at any time on the subject. The club voted to change the day of meeting on the last Wednesday in Feb- ruary to Tuesday or Friday of the same week to allow P. Alfred Fleming, #7mer fire marshal of Ohio, Who s now speak- Ing in the interests of the National Board of Fire Underwriters on Fire Pre- vention, to speak here. The ‘meeting was enlivened by a num- ber of vocal selections, prominent among them being a selection by the Cotton Gonds Quintette, lad by Joseph C. Worth abl eupported by E. Howard Baker, Charles J. ‘Twist, Alex McNicol and Louis Porteous. Another feature was the selection by those afflicted with a raise in the valuation of their automo- b! Thér selection was Ain't We Got Fun, with sneclal emphasis_on the lines about “havin’ a bus but we ain't got much money, still we have fun. As an encore they sang “Taxation Blues.” Henry LaFontaine sang a pleasing solo as did Bill Park, who was support- ed in the chorus by P. W. Wheeler, Joe Worth and Howie Baker. The meeting closed with The Star Spangled Banner.

LOCENART DEMANDS NAMES OF ENEMIES OF LEGION Captain Charles E.

The following i3 a copy of Captdin Lockhart's lefter: “Dear Sir: My attention has been called to a letter under date of Jan, 11, 1922, which was sent to practicallw all of the posts in this state and in which you urged concerted action to help save the state fund from the clutches of the politicians who have attacked it and have tried to destroy it. As a matter of fairness I am asking you to let me know who the- politicians are and just what attacks they have made, for up to date the only names mentioned have been those of Mr. McKenna and myself. If we are the powerful pojicicians I think it is your duty to let tHe various posts to whom vou appealed know it at once. Your story of the fund did not appear until after vou were enjoined and In that ‘story of the fund’ you mentioned that you remember the preamble of the Amer- ican Legion.

He sald so Tuesday before the board of control at Hartford when he advicated a return to the old system undew which the highway com- ssioner would have control of salaries in his department. Commissioner Bennett appeared before the board in behalf of proposed increases up, pending an explanation in Commission- er Bennett. These two executives now get §4,500 and $4,000 a year respective- ly. “Have there been any salary decreas- es in your department?” asked Governor" Lake, ' To which Commissioner Bennett answered that there were about 600 em- ployed in the department and that the pay of the lahorers had been cut down. The board then voted to refer the sal- ary Increases requested for the assistant commissioner and the chief clerk, back to the board of finance which has al- ready recommeneded $500 and $250 in- crease respectively.

The Groton group consists of 95 frame dwellings, four frame dormitories and several other buildings, the despatch states, and every opportunity will be first given to tenants to purchase them. The \despatch appears to be incorrect as to treference to the number of houses built in Groton as the actual number consists of nine double and seven single houses aside from the dormitories. It has been understood in New Lon- don that practically all these houses were sold some time ago. The govern- ment houses in New London, built by the same government agency at the same tlme, have been disposed of to tenants, although they are not entirely paid for. The Housing Corporation delivered deeds to these purchasers last fall, and hold mortgages on a majority of them. Pur- chasers are paving for them on the in- stallment plan. houses are concerned, the Housing cor- poration still owns the majority of them. ! Tt is belleved that some of them have been s0ld to tenants, but if so, the cor- poration has mot yet come forward with a deed. | At Practically No Expense | Excellent 0il Stoves HALF PRICE These cold mornings and cold evenings demand, some- times, just a bit more heat than your struggling boiler or furnace can deliver.
