Of rich and varied information on all suh. jeCts of practical importance to our State and nation. of an irrcproachab,e eharac- ter in all the relations of private life but he ls identified. directly. practically. personally. with the great industrial in. teres.s of the State -- those in.erests | which. mere than any other. have con. t.ibutsd to onr prosperity and honor. The results of bis wisely directed labor. skill and energy, are visible not only in the commanding position to which he has elevated hinssT among his fellow citizens. but are equally visible in the almost unparalleled rapidisy with which the piece Of his residence, the chief sphere of his efforts. has advanced, in whatever constitutes the real strength and happiness of a people. Under the wise counsels, skilful direction. and in deFatigabls labors of Green Kendrick and some others of like spirit, the town of Waterbury has. in the course of a few years. risen from comparative obscurity to rank side by side with the most im- portant places of our State. and her course is stlll onward.
