ANTHRACITE COAL NORWICH 1S NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1922 SUPPLY FOR ALMOST NOTHING The directors of the chamber of com- merce in their regular meeting Thurs- day noon at the Wauregan house, with President Charles F. Wells in the chair, heard reports on the effect of the rail- road strike and conditions resulting in Norwich from the coal strike, which showed that the anthracite coal situa- tion is alarming and likely to be dan- gerous to the public welfare during the coming winter. There is practically no anthracite coal in Norwich, the only exception being a supply of ‘pea coal, and it seems cer- tain that the outlook for the normal winter's supply for Norwich is not en- couraging. Receipts of coal in Norwich for the last three months were reported to be 88 per cent less than during the same period last year, and some dealers have received no coal at all In the last three months. The operators are mak- ing no promises as to deliveries so that dealers do not know how soon to expect that their vanishing stocks can be filled out again. The retail price of anthra- cite coal now was reported at $16.50, So~far, it was understood at the meeting, there is little prospect of Nor- wich mills being affected by a shortage of bituminous coal as practically all ‘were said to have their normal supply for this season of the year. It was reported for the Norwich gas and electric department that the emny's plant has 12.000 tons of bituminous coa! on hand, which is a supply for about two months, Committes Reports, ~ Several committee reports wers re- ceived and action taken on them. The committee on the outing Thurs- day last week at Happyland at Poque- tanuck Drawbridge showed that there wero 142 persons who sat down at the shore dinner served by Mr, Schultz on the veranda of the pavilion. Arrange- ments had been made for 150. As this was the first outing the chamber has held in several years the results were gratifying. The housing committee of the cham- ber have had prepared and are now exhibiting in some of the store win- dows pictures and plans of six and Sev- en-room houses which have recently been ‘bullt in Norwich for $5,000 ex- clusive of the price of the lot. These houses are modern in every respect and the cost of construction is extremley fa- vorable for the family wishing to build or buy their own home. It was gratifying to the directors to learn of the number of mew sharehold- ers who have joined the tocal Building & Loan Association during the present month. The local association is grow- ing steadily and now has assets of over $75,000. This organization presents an easy and an acceptable method for per- sons of small means to build or buy their own homes. The housing committee is also studr- ing the bullding codes of cities of stmi- lar size to Norwich, and will make the'r report to the board of directors when their investigations are completed. Ths present building ordinances of the city of Norwcih were enacted in 1898. The directors learned that the new shos industry recently secured for Nor- wich would soon begin operations, as they are erecting some of thelr machin- ery and bringing some of their stock ready for work. It is expected that this new industry will be a great addi- tlon to the annual payroll in Norwich within a year. Two thousand dollars was raised by the Norwicn Chamber of Commerce among its members, to pay part of the moving expenses of this new industry, and President L. S. Storrs of the Connecticut Company sent his per- sonal check for $75 towards this fund, which was greatly appreciated by the directors, and it was felt by the board that this personal manifestation of Mr. Storrs’ interest in Norwich was most praiseworthy. A communication from the Knott Ho- tels management, which operates the Wauregan hotel in this city, offering special inducements to members of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce at any of their New York hotels, was dis- cussed. 'The directors expressed their appreciation to the hotel management for their kind offer. and Instructed the secretary to so notify the members of the chamber. A request from the president of the Middletown Chamber of Commerce, urs- ing the cooperation of the local cham- ber with others in this state for the adoption of a state law making it com- pulsory for all cities in the state to have 2 uniform budget and accounting meth- od for their expenses, was .discussed. President Wells was authorized to ap- point a committee to look into this mat- ter. There is an interest shown on the part of the members of the chamber of commerce in Norwich and others inter- ested In the subject, that Chandler & Palmer, local engineers, should be en- gaged to make a tax map for the city and town of Norwich. This firm has the confidence of the people of this com- munity, and has a large amount of data gathered from years of experience, which would prove valuable in the mak- ing of a tax map. This firm is consider- ing the matter. At the request of the committee on equitable taxation, State Tax Commis sioner W. H. Blodgett furnished a list of cities in Cognecticut that now make use of a tax map for assessment purposes. The list as submitted by Mr. Blodgett is as follows: Hartford, New Britain, Simsbury, West Hartford, Wethersfield, Ansonia, Meriden, Milford, Naugatuck. New Haven. Waterbury, Bridgeport, Union, Saybrook. Watertown. Torring- ton, Harwinton, Fairfield, New London is also having a tax map made for as- sessment purposes at the present time FEWER CONNECTICUT DOCTORS CAN PRESCRIBE LIQUOR Federal Prohbbition Director Harry E. MacKenzie disclosed in Hartford Tuesday that 603 of approximately 1,- 000 physicians registered in Connecti-| cut have been allowed the privilege of| prescribing intoxicating liquor - for medi- cinal purposes. This is 237 less than were on the permit list prior to the call- ing in of the old form permit books and the Issuance of new permit forms, ef- fectively July 20. The fact that the majority of Connec- ticut physicians did not make applica-| tion for such permit books was explained by Assistant United States Prohibition Commissioner James E. Jones, from the Washington office, who happened to be in Director Mackanzie'’s office when an- nouncement was made of the number of permits held in this state. Me said that twenty-four states of the Union have laws which prohibit the prescribing of liquor for any purposes, and that in the} remaining twenty-four states there are 133,000 registered physicians, of whom only 33,000 have applied for such per- mits, “The clear inference is that the jority of physiclans do not blieve whiskey fs necessary for medicinal poses.” The 603 doctors to whom permit books of the new form were lssued were the only ones who made application in this state, according to Director Mackenzie The federal law allows the director no alternative but to issue such permit books to applicants of good character who have not been found guilty of Vio- lating the national prohibition act, New Haven has the largest number of doctors holding the whiskey prescrib- ing privilege and Hartford comes sec ond, it is understood. Assistant Commissioner Jones was ac- companied by Clayton E. Main, a native of Maryland Who has been appointed New England supervisor of federal pro- hibition directors, succeedidg Edson Brown of New London, who recently re- signed from the government service. Mr. Jones said that the prohibition de- partment at Washington had noted a big improvement in the enforcement of the prohibition act throughout the coun- try, notwithstanding reports to the con- trary. He found that the largest month- iy withdrawal of whiskey now allowed by Director Mackenzie, was ten gallons, which was for a druggist. Mr. Jones congratulated him upon this fact, in view of provisions in the regutations which permit the withdrawal of a maximum of 100 gallons a month. The average daily withdrawals on permits issued by Director Mackenzie is three barrels, which includes intoxicating liquor of all kinds. Chief Jonathan E. Eno of the prohibi- tion enforcement squad escorted Mr. Jones through several of the public buildings before the latter left for a visit to the federal director's office In Boss ton. He expressed himself as greatly pleased with the prohfbition situation tn Connecticut. BUILDING MARINE RATLWAY AT SHIP & ENGINE CO.

At 4 o'clock ice cream and cake were served. The meet- ing was purely a social one, no business being taken up during the day. The members greatly appreciated Mrs. Ford's cordial hospitality. TRUCK HITS POLE AND RUNS INTO ROCK LEDGE A light delivery truck belonging to Verrastro & Sons, 246 West 146th street, New York, was damaged in North Main street near the Maeguerite corner early Thursday afternoon when it hit‘a tele- graph pole and the cliff of rocks on the westerly side of the street. The truck was being towed into the city when it overran the towrope from the car ahead and plunged - off to the right. The right forward wheel struck and slid past the telephone pole, turned back into the highway. and thsn back to the right again towards the let'ze, Wwhere it climbed a small shelf of rock and was on the point of tipping over, but righted itself as it came down into the stret again to a stop. The truck had its wishbone doubled up, a smashed headlight and broken water. pipe connection.

QUITTER HENS SHOWING IN STORBS EGG LAYING Egg production is the barometer of, tne egg laying contest has shown conclusively that from this time on ome can find quitters in every flock. It Is an essen- tial loss both to the community and to the owner to kill oft laying hens, but it| is equally unwise for the poultry farmer to nurse along a lot of hens that are not earning thelr board. This is the psychological season of the year: to spend a little time in the hen house get- ting acquainted with the birds. They ought to be pretty thorougnly inspected not less than each fortnight. One can readily learn to spot the loafers and send them to market. s In the thirty-eighth week of the con- test, Hollywood Farm's pen of Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash., was an easy first for the week with a score or 58 eggs. A Connecticut pen of Rhode Isl- and Reds owned by John Z. Labelle of Bellouville was second best pen for the week with 55 eggs. Another pen of Rhode Island Reds entered by Charles D. Pelrce of Arnold Mills, R. I, was a close third with 54 eggs for the week. Barred Rocks owned by Lewis Farm's from Davisville, R.

MARKET CONDITIONS. Heavy supplies of corn, apples, ber- ries, potatoes and tomatoes are now ev- ident on the markets. The trend of the vegetable market is inclined to be on a lower level this week. Golden baniam corn and Farly Dawn were recelved in larger quantities by the wholesalers. Beets, carrots, string beans, are coming into the markets in larger quantities now and this has helped to eliminate the high prices that have been prevailing on these products. There is a contin- uance of the same prices on beet ani veal this week. The egg market re- mains firm. Prices range from 40 to 4Sc.

In the time of Edward IV, Henry VIL and Henry VIII a crude form of tennis was played in England, and it is on re- cord that Queen Elizabeth was pleased at a game played by ten of the Earl of Hertford's servants. Another story tells how a noble earl, becoming heated by the exertions of the game, wiped his face with the queen's handkerchief, and was rewarded with a crack on the head with her majesty’s Freckle-Face How to Remove Easily pense Is trifling. ful compiexion. is sold under guarantee of back if it fails to remove freckles.
