growth of the business of the com pany was gradual but sure from the first, but no extensive additions were made to their buildings, except per- haps the building of wing on the north end of the boarding house for a residence for their superintendent, Origeu Hall. until about 1850, when they fully doubled their capacity by developing more water power by building the dam 10 feet high, that now forms the Lake Beauty of South wilmington, together with the fine breast wheel and large addition to the north end of the mill, with a good office on the first floor. and giving much needed room for their machine sht and packing case room, which was fer SC me years under the care of Andrew Fl. Fuller and Jonas Parker as master mechanic. This time ma ked au epoch in the history of the Willington Thread company, and their success was assured.
 About 1947 or 8 another industry was added to the hamlet at the thread factory. A small water power was developed just over the bluff from where Gardiner Hall had built him a house. A dam had been built and raceway excavated and a mill built for the manufacture of police wad. ding. The power was the first iron water wheel that I had ever seen.
 It was a peculiar wheel, consisting of two hollow arms of some 2 to feet In length, perforated on one side and attached to the bottom of an mp. right shaft, through which the water passed to these arms, giving foros by the back pressure of the water, the wheel running at the surface of the water and not under, like the turbine of later date. The police wadding not proving a success, in 1850 $ limited partnership was formed by Gardiner Hall and Timothy Merrick and one Bingham, under the name of Brigham, Hall and Merrick for the manufacture of spool cotton, MT. Hall having the bleaching and wind ing and MT Merrick making the spools. After one year the partner ship was dissolved by mutual consent and another was formed. with Hall and MeIrick as managers and Elisha Johnson as financial packer.
 After about two years Hall and Merrick bought out MT Johnson and for a time carried on the business alone until, through the influence o1 MT. Johnson, the little fish was swal. lowed up by the larger one and merged in the Willington Thread company, with Hall and Merrick holding good position with the company. s. ..
 That little industry to which have referred think was where Gardine, Hall, Jr., took his first lessons in the bleaching and winding of thread that has been his life work, and hal given the beautiful village of South Wilmington to the town.
 With the greetings of a Happy New Year I now bid the readers of these articles of my "reminiscences of Will lington, which I trust have helped some at least to while away an other. wise lonely hour, hearty God bless you.

LANDING BRIDGE is
CLOSED FOR REPAIRS

New Brunswick, Mar. 10:-It is
probable that the repairs to the
Landing Bridge, which was closed by
the freeholders, upon discovering
the condition of one of the piers,
which has crumbled away, making
the bridge unsafe, will be commenced
within few days.
Director Peter Hendricks stated
this morning that upon the compile
tion of the freeholders' inspection of
the roads today, the Landing Bridge
matter would be taken up at once
and the condemned pier replaced.
County Engineer Frederick ST.
mons stated that he did not know
just when the work would be COM
menced, but undoubtedly within a
very short time. The crumbled pier,
he stated, was beyond repair. and
will have to be replaced. Owing to
the dangerous condition of the
bridge it is not likely that the free
holders will go through the formali-
ties attendant upon the awarding of
contract for the work, such as ad-
vertising for bids, but will order the
work done at once, to avoid keeping
the bridge closed longer than neces-

HIGH COST Of
LIVING WAS UP
Legislators Consider the
batter--CoId Storage Bill
in the House.
RESOLUTION TO OCONGRESS

Trenton, Mar. 10:-The high cost
OF living was uppermost on the
minds of the legislators here yester-
day, when action was gotten on two
matters and threatened action on a
third was made. The ball was start
ed rolling In the senate in the morn
ing, when Senator Ackerman report
ed resolution heartily commencing
the federal authorities for their eff
forts to discover the cause for the
increasing cost of living. Immedi-
ately that resolution had passed
Senator Osborne, seeking to inject
politics into the situation, gave no.
tice that he would demand from the
senate judiciary committee Monday
night the resolution put in by him
demanding that the senators and
representatives in congress from this
state take steps to abolish the tariff
on all food stuffs Immediately as the
real cause for the high cost of food.
In the house there was action
when the James bill was reported,
which puts cold storage plants under
the direction of the State Board of
Health and forbids the storage of
food stuffs longer than six months
without the permission of the state
board. which board has the power at
all times to destroy food stuffs found
in cold storage unfit to eat
The James bill has several techni-
cal amendments, and they were or
dered printed before second reading,
in order that no Joker be found in
the act when 1t gets on the statute
books. 1t is understood that the bill
will get on the calendar of the house
for Monday night.
