.Ia Mr.. Frank Norton took occasion to
explain something of the history of
base ball in Burlington and Manager
Egans part in the present situation.
1t had been stated that Egan was
charging the local management SO

of interest on the sum invested in the
business here When Egan purchased
the team and franchise of Burlington
he paid s1,4OO for it and assumed all
the debts. He is now getting about .
per cent on the amount OF his invest
ment so Mr. Norton stated. He assur-
ed the meeting that Mr.. Egan has
been square with Burlington, and
that he was getting only what was
coming to him.

While the sod bound orchard may
produce fruit of superior color and
make the work at harvest time little
cleaner, these are about the only adj
vantages that can be claimed for the
plan. The main disadvantages of the
system are that it too often furnishes
an easy excuse for turning the orchard
lot into pasture. that 1t consumes
moisture and fertility that the trees
sorely need, while it reduces the size
of the fruit from third to a half
and provides harbor for multitude
of insect pests which are thus able to
propagate undisturbed. If a careful
survey of the situation seems to show
that there Is more money in raising
hay than there is in producing fruit.
the trees would better be cut out and
the hay or pasture idea given the right
of way.

CHANGES AGREED ON
ALONG MONTVILlE ROAD
SeIectmen and Representatives OF the
Connecticut Company Look Over
New London Turnpike.

Selectmen Moses Chapman and
Robert A. Burchard of Montville met
representatives of the Connecticut Co.
on Monday and went over the line of
trolley along the state highway, within
the town limits. and inspected the
places where alterations in curve or
grading are considered necessary by
the company or by any resident of the
town.
The Connecticut Co. was represented
by Charles c. Elwell, superintendent
Anderson. and one of the engineers of
the road Several alterations were
talked over and all agreed upon as
necessary. In only one instance was
any objection made by a resident to
the present system as laid out or 30
any of the changes suggested. This
instance was that of Mr.. Cook of Mo-
hogan Mr.. Cook met the group and
stated that as the grade of highway
and tracks stood at present in front
of bis property he was unable to get
in and out safely. The highway grade
had at this point been dropped about
Is inches, making 1t dangerous for
him. Mr.. Cook was injured on the
road a short time ago and felt he
ought to make provision to avoid any
other mishaps. 1t was acknowledged
by all that the condition of things was
not satisfactory, but the town repre-
SentativeS diselained any liability in
the matter. the Connecticut company's
Representatives and the selectmen
agreeing thar the matter was not up
to the town, but lay between Mr.. Cook,
the state highway commissioner and
the trolley company. Mr.. Cook made
a formal complaint and the matter
will rest in the first instance between
him and the highway commissioner.
The party agreed that some mistake
must have been made when the high
way was reconstructed.
The first change in curve comes OPP
posite the Hubbard residence near
Haughton farm. The tracks will be
moved little nearer to Mr.. Hubbard s
properly, Strengthening out the line.
This was agreeable to Mr.. Hubbard.
Between the Doyle place and the
Skunk house, another change will be
made and still another at the foot of
Mohegan hill, where d material altera-
tion will take place. A bad crossing
at Fitch hill is also to be improved.
Here the road is TO be paved and hard
ened to maintain the roadway good
during heavy rains. Owners of autos
and other vehicles have complained
of this and Mr.. ElweIl on the part of
the trolley road, promised to put it
in good order.
