NORWICH TO NEW LONDON
 ROAD IN FIERCE CONDITION.
Considered Detriment to Business to
 Allow 1t to Continue.

Motorist of New London writes: Re- gently a we'll known New London lady and gentleman were making tour trip through the western part of the state and in Massachusetts, in their auto. They went up by way of Norwich, and while on the road between that city and New London were greatly discom- forted by the wretched condition of the roads. Particularly is this true this side of the termination of the macad- am and near Trading Cove, where there is an exceedingly dangerous spot, requiring filling and the placing of guard rails. Another New London auto party came to greif there this week. While in Springfield the New London party met with another, who were touring, and the conversation turning on the roads, the Massachusetts people said. not Knowing where the New Lon doners had come from:
 If you are going down through Connecticut, by all means avoid the road between Norwich and New Lon don. It was something fierce wheE we went over it We were glad to get through with the damage that we did and consider ourselves lucky. We have warned scores of autoists from going that way, and when we meet them again they thank us"
 Here is a. consideration for the peo- pie of Norwich and New London who are busy improving business oppor- tunities for their respective towns Auto parties bring a great deal of money to towns. If they are warned to avoid bad roads, that means so much less to the cities living on these roads. It would be money in the pock- cts of New London to pay attention to the terribly bad parts of the route from here to Norwich. The attention of some prominent Norwich business men was called to the remarks of the Springfield people, and they promised to bring it up before the city and have the newspapers agitate the mat terri They suggested an appeal to the New London papers also. Not only is the road bad for autos, but the passen- gers on the trolleys suffer great incon- venience from the dust. It would not require much expense to put the DOT tions objectionable in good shape, and it would mean a great return in com fort, safety and traffic that gives mon ey. Besides this point of view, the dangerous places are likely to cause some catastrophe which will be crim- finally at the door of the authorities if they neglect action when notified, as they have been. of the conditions.

MUCH REGRET AT
 LIEUT.. PRATT's CHANGE.
Ordered from Fort Mansfield to Fort
 Monroe-Well Known Here.

The news has been received at Fort Mansfield that the present command ing officer, Lieut.. J. s. Pratt, is reliev- ed from commanding the S8th company and will proceed to Fort Monroe, Va. This is sad news to the men of his command, as he was well liked by them. Lieutenant Pratt has the com pany in fipe shape for the .new com manding officer. Lieutenant Pratt is like his father, General SedgwiciS Pratt, who was retired after a very honorable and efficient service spent in the army as instructor at Fort Mon roe, Va.
 Every man of the SSth company, c. A. C., would be well pleased If this order included the enlisted men to go with Lieutenant Pratt, but it does not Therefore it means a sad separation os the men from their honorable com manding officer who will leave the fort with the best wishes of the entire command. It is a known fact that more than one of the enlisted men of the S8th company will change stations when their enlistment expires and join their present commanding officer at Fort Monroe, Va.
 The status of the fort will not be changed. as the officer who will take temporary command is First Lieuten- ant w. O. Selkirk, c. A. C., who Is untiring and zelous in his duties and will follow the steps of the present commanding officer, regarding the handling of the men. Captain A. H. Bryant, c. A. C., has been. assigned to the SSth company, c. A. c. He is an officer that any company would be glad to have as it's commanding officer.
 The order changing Lieut.. Pratt will be learned with much regret by the To- cal companies. He was here last winter instructing both companies in the use of the equipment in connection with coast artillery work. They found him an excellent instructor and were de- lighted when they learned that they were to be at Fort Mansfield with him at the tour of duty.

The work will take several months.
 With the pushing of the work, 1t is hoped to have it completed by the first of next year, but no more court sessions will be held in the present building. It will be thoroughly re- modelled on the inside, the front re- maining about the same, while the courtroom will be in the addition which is to be made.
 The entire cost of the alterations and enlargement of the building will be $50, 43S.75, and with the cost of the land and the condemnation proceed ings about s40000 stands planned for already. There will be furniture and the other furnishings for the new building, but the commissioners be- lieve they will be able to keep the cost down to the S50,000 mark.
 The vote to enlarge and alter the court house was made at city meeting which voted to down the plan to erect new combined municipal and county building. The actual work has been delayed by several things, among them the Mercer condemnation proceedings made necessary by the inability of the commission and Mir. Mercer to agree upon price to be paid.

 There will be no license at the Pe- quot inn, New London, now without a license through the disqualification by the county commissioners of the for mer proprietor, George T. Salter.

Word came that he had decided to withdraw his application and so the hearing was not necessary.
