Congressman Higgins Already Busy
Hopes for Harbors and Rivers BIells of Work Being Done for Eastern Connecticut at Mystic and Efforts for Shetucket River Here.

direction of the engineer for the dis- trict of Connecticut. Lieut.. Col Harry Taylor, who is located at New London. Win a favorable report from Colonel Tay.or I hcpe to have this improve ment included in the rivers and har- bors bill. Mystic formerly was cen ter of shipbuilding activity. There seems to be prospect for it's revival, although on somewhat different lines, and the deepening and straightening of Mystic river seems to me to be war ranted by the present conditions, al- though everything will depend upon Colonel Taylors report, which will soon be forthcoming.
 .sThe improvement of the Shetucket river above Laurel Hill bridge was first called to my attention by Avery Smith of Norwich. It seems there is ledge between the city dock at Rose place and the bridge, which with the current and tide at that point endangers the navigation for such craft as the Sight Seer. As this dock Is the only public wharf in the city and the expense can not be great, I hope the district engi- neer will recommend the improvement which, though small, may in time be an important factor in the growth of Norwich.
 Tn the river and harbor act of March 2, 1907, surveys for the im- pTOVcH1euL III HdVlEdLlOQ Ol lHe flBnl Mile river, branch of the Connecti- cut, were authorized and the report of Colonel Taylor approved by the act ing secretary of war in favor of the Improvements have been made. This report calls for an expenditure of s9,000 and the dredging of 60,000 cubic yards to give channel at low water of eight feet in depth and 75 feet in width from Hamburg to the channel of the Con- necticut. Colonel Taylor in his report anticipates a revival of business in freighting ties. etc. and refers to the fact that in 1889 about 80 vessel loads, carrying from 65 to 200 tons each, were shipped from there.
 Tn the same act of two years ago survey of Shaw's cove was author ized.- This has been completed and is reported on favorably by the engineer It. is important that it be provided for"
 MT. Higgins further said:
 With the, many demands of all kinds for the expenditure of public money, all projects should be carefully considered before appropriations are made, but I am firmly of the opinion that those in the Third district are most meritorious and will commend themselves to the good judgment of the river and harber committee who are now taking up the general bill"

UNIvERsALIsT MISSION CIRCLE

PARTICIPATING CONTRACT
 FOR FIVE YEARS.
Armour's Plant Will Have It's Meat Boxes Cooled by Brine from Allen Beeman Company's Plant.

A five years contract has been made by the Armour company for the cool ing of their large meat box by brine from the refrigerating plant of the Allen Beeman company. It is expected that the changes can be completed so that the contract can start Jan. 1st
 The work on making oSer the large box In Armour's plant will be started today. The ice bunkers will be done away with and the necessary piping installed, while a pipe line will be laid through the street from the refr'ger ing plant t6r Arm 5ar's plant. The 2 ,st of the changes will be about $1,500. This will do away with the necessity of depending upon ice, will remove dampness, and give an eveh and lower temperature, as well as making more room. It will also be cheaper. The box contains about 12,500 cubic feet.
 Because of the installation of a sec- ond machine by the Allen -Beeman company in the spring 1t will not be necessary to increase their plant to take care of the contract, which may in time further extend its cooling in fiuence.

GRINDING MACHINE USED. Electrical Device Brought Here from Hartford to Widen Frog at sachem Park.

Still another electrical device new to local trolley road men was seen We'd nesday, when a power grinding ma chine was brought here from Hartford to grind out the frog at the spur track into the Connecticut company's sand pit above Sachem park. The groove in the frog has not been quite wide enough for the flanges of the wheels on the cars that pass over the track, and an unpleasant thump has been the result each time car passed over the place.
 The twelve foot emery wheel of the little machine. propelled by a three horse power motor, power for which is obtained by a connection with the overhead trolley wire and the track, quickly widened out the groove in the fange and the cars will now run smoothly. The grinder was shipped back to Hartford Wednesday after noon.
