Military.

The Union ArmOries in the State
 NOrvaIk Moving for 8 State ArmOry-
 A New Armory for NOrwnlk.
 In 1882 the State Senate passed bill, subsequently, approved by the Governor, providing that in all towns of the State in which two or more military companies are located, suitable armory accommoda- tions for the members of the companies might be built or purchased by the State, not over $50, ,OOO to be expended in any one year, and the total expenditure not to exceed $200,OOO The commission appointed to carry out the provisions of the act have purchased sites in New Haven, Waterbury, Bridgeport and New London. The same commission also con- tracted for the erection of armories in the former cities, which were completed last year. The cost of constructing the New Haven armory was $6S, 900 and $25, ,306.- 33 was expended on the one in Waterbury. Lots in Bridgeport and New London were purchased for $10, ,223 24. leaving balance of about $95, 900 of the appropriation. The commission took no steps towards construct ing the remaining armories, mainly for the reason that those towns entitled to them by the act-Hartford, Bridgeport, New Lon don, New Britain, Norwalk and Willimantic cannot have suitable ones built for the sum now standing to the credit of the appropriation. Adjutant General Couch in his last annual report to the Legislature rec commended an additional appropriation of $50 900, believing that that amount would be required to carry out the intention of the General Assembly. The Gazette says that Norwalk military interests are moving strongly for the erection of a union armory there, and that the bill offered by Senator Hyatt to raise $28,O 900 for that end will un- doubtedly be favorably reported on by the Legislative Committee on Military and be passed by the Senate.
