He was born on April 5, 1851. in Center Groton the son of Youngs and Susan Starr ‘Turner, being a direct descendent of the Mayflower ancestors. When a younx man he united in marriage with Mary Francis, who died October 11, 1837. On Novembér 4, 1898 he was married to Geuda Hagberg, who survives him with one daughter, Mrs. C. O. Bennett, two grandchildren, Roland A. Bennett of Middleburg, Vt., and Claire E. Bennett, who lives at home. Mr. Turner was a member of the Central Baptist church and belonged to the Men's club. He was a loving father and kind husband. and with his loss the family loses a valuable member. Mrs. Henry E. Stevens. After a brief illness Nan Waitney Stevens, 93, widow of Henry K.

When a young woman she went to Minnesota and it was there that she met and married Henry E. Stevens of Nor- wich. After residing in that state for some years Mr. and Mrs. Stevens came to Norwich in 1861 and made their home on Grove street. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stevens were musical, Mr. Stevens en- gaging in. the . musical business. while in Norwich, and Mrs. Stevens possessing a.splendid voice in her. younger days. She was a member of the old Secon Congregational church and was the old- est momber of the United Congregational church.

One son, Dr. Henry E. Stevens of - West Roxbury, survives, with three grandchildren of Amherst, N. H., Providence, and West Roxbury, and there are five great-grandchildren. Mrs. Stevens had many friends in this city who learned of her death with sor- row. She was a woman of pleasing per- sonality and an interesting conversation- alist, often delighting her friends with tales of the pioneers. of 4 Mrs. Main A1 FUNERALS. Martin Duane Kiblin.

GIVE MANY REASONS FOR WANTING 16 FOOT CHANNEL IN THE THAMES = of about representat manufacturing A group business men from shipping interests of Norwich was pres- ent Friday afternoon at 1.30 el common council chamber at the court| house for the hearing to be Major V.

Practicaliy all the water shipment of freight for East-| ern Connecticut territory goes through| | Norwich, he said. and the present con-|¥ dition is a great handicap. Chamber of Commerce President. Mayor Waters was followed by Pre dent H. M. Lerou of the chamber commerce who sald that Norwic wanted to make the greatest use pos: of its Pres as follows: e er. In proposing the further development of the Thames river the busin of Norwich do so on the lines imperatively needed because water trar portation today is becoming more and more necessary on account of the rail-| road conjestions existing now and that| do exist periodicaily from time to time, The present depth of the channel from Allyn’s Point to Norwich varies from 13 to 14 feet, the width of the channel can- not be ascertained as a fact. We re- spectfully submit the proposition of a 16 foot channel 200 feet wide from Al- lyn's Point to Norwich. In submitting this proposition are certain elements which we desire to call to your attention. At the pres- ent time Norwich is served by the Thames River Line which gives a daily service through the operation of two boats. The Cape Cod has a draught of approximately 13 feet and the John M. Worth_a draught of approximately 10 feet. The Cape Cod finds it very diffi- cult to navigate the channel with a neap tide and a northwest wind which makes the thannel very shallow causing the boat to drag on the bottom. This nec- Cape Cod which in. turn is a tremendous dis- advantage to the shippers of Norwich because of the crippled service caused by the boat beting repaired frequently There is some question of the John M. Worth giving constant service through- out the winter mofiths because of her low draught in going through the sound during heavy seas. The Thames River Line cannot put on a better boat be- cause of the present depth of the river to Allyn’s Point and because of the lack of proper draught to operate through- out the year. It must be born in mind that it is necessary for a boat with a draught similar to the Cape Cod to nav- igate the sound . especially during the winter season. Boats of a lighter draught cannot make the passage. This has caused a situation which has been somewhat disastrous to the ship- ping facilities by water to Norwich in- dustries. Several Norwich industries will not ship their finished product to New York by the Thames River Line because of the inadequate service that this line gives, so that the tonnage on the river has suffered to a very large extent from this phase of the situations Water tonnage of lumber laden ves- sels has similarly suffered because it has been found impossible to get coast- wise vessels from the south which could navigate the river. This situation proves beyond the question of a doubt that the deepening of the present channel to 16 feet and a 200 foot width would doubly increase the present tonnage of water- there dent Lerou presented the situation | i licited the opinion iobtain this result. borne freight in this community. At the same time the tonnage for the past year carried by the boat lines operating on the Thames river is not a fair compar- ison with a normal year. Two of our large shippers on the Thames River Line practically closed for a period of near- ly twenty weeks which of course less- ened the tonnage normally carried. To date the figures from the Thames River Line of a normal year are not availa- ble. During the past year 2 new boat line, The Wilson Line, operated in Norwich for a period of seven months. This boat line gradually increased its business and during the time of its operation of 7 months carried approximately 4,000 tons. The fact that the tonnage carried by the Wilson Line did not in any way hamper, lessen, or hinder the tonnage carried by the Thames River Line seems conclusive proof that the river tonnage would be very largely Increased with dependable and proper boat service, At the present time The Amerfoan Thermos Bottle Company s on the verge of & shut-down, and they are nearly 100, 000 Dottles behind their orders because of the laek of transpertatien faeilities due te the embargoes on ths railvead, Thiy company, with properly develeped beat pervies, would ef jtself vastly in- erense {he tepnage en the Thames river as it wenld he in & pesition {o make eon- stapt use of water {ramsperiation, The teta] of the Thames River Lige for the past yesr, Whish is nermal yeay beeamse ehandise L e e gars Biver and fl‘? 155} 8: Quigp- tons, nu:s’ freight 1 ef iD.Ag tons for Norwich should get isideration by the Unite nt to provide adequa er-borne transportation this community presented fullest « mear fac the s gover: for for wa ies Read Letters From Shippers. the f James ich coal and York A T ward Chapp .

J. F. M'GTTT= John J. O'Rourke, Secretary, hamber of Commerce, Norwich, Conn. Dear Sir: In connection with your re- quest for information regarding our| tonnage on the Thames river and the | necessity for a deeper channel we wish to advise you as follows: During the last eight or ten vears| our coal and lumber tonnage up the river | has varied from about 21,000 net tons | to 35,000 net tons making an average | yearly tonnage into Norwich of approx- imately 27,000 net tons by water. We have found it increasingly difficult to obtain vessels to come to Norwich with both coal and lumber. We used to obtain small boats for coal carrying ap- proximately 500 to 600 tons which had a draft of about ten feet and- boats of this size were. fairly plentiful. For the last five years these small boats have been disappearing and have have been replaced by larger boats, so that even from New York ports at the present time, it is difficult to get a boat carrving less than 700 to 800 tons and drawing in most cases slightly more than 13 feet. /From the southern coal ports the sit- uation is very much the same only on a larger s and the ordinary boats obtainable today from these ports draw 15 to 17 feet of water and if you are fortunate enough to find anything small- er you are compelled to pay a decidedly higher rate. ‘We believe finally that we should have a channel to Norwich 16 feet deep and approximately 200 feet wide and we al- so believe that the tonnage available | warranis any necessary expenditure to As an example of our difficulty in ob- taining ‘lumber by water, let us cite you a comparison. In the year 1914 we handled- approximately 3,000,000 board feet of lumber beside other building ma- terial and 1.620,600 feet feet, or abou 1,500 tons of lumber, came by water which was over one-third of the \rough lumber handled. At that time it was fairly easy to get small schooners which could come up this river. - Last year from January 1, 1921, to sho shi fourth *| probably a submerged pile. |exactly 50 years, 1 month and 4 days January 1, 1922, out of approximately 2,700,000 feet of rough lumber handled by us, 180,300 feet or slightly over 200 tons came by water because it was al- most impossible to get schooners at any reasonable rate which could get up the river. We trust that you will be smccessful in this move for a deeper channmel as we believe that the stirring times of the last five vears have shown that our transportation facilities will not respond to an emergency and it seems wilfully negligent to ignore such a means of transportation as a river like the Thames which s right at our doors, 1f we can give you further Information we shall be glad to do so and the writer expests to be at the hearing tomorrow and will be glad to answer any questions on ‘which he has information.
