| pose. Then the work of construction
 will be commenced with the least pos sible delay, and soon thereafter there
 will be an addition to New London's
 industries.
 This is one of the few official sug- gestions Of Mayor Armstrong that Will

 There has been complaint of duIlness
 in building in New London, but the application for eighteen building per
 mits at the April session of the town
 council discredits the complaint. One of the applications was for a permit Co build a Unitarian church.
 Besides these there are many build ings in course of construction, includ-
 ing the large St. Joseph's church. the changing over of the big Munsey

 with the extensive repairs to the court house in prospect indicate a bright out-

 never in more satisfa 2tory condition to members and pastor than at tho present time. A committee has been chosen to arrange for a reception to the new pastor and Mrs. McNaly fin
 the near future.

 those that preceded up to the time
