MUCH BLIGHT EAST OF
 CONNECTICUT RIVER
Thirty Towns Report Diseased Chest
 nut Trees.


 In response to q call issued by the New York commissioner of agriculture there gathered in Albany on Oct. 18th Tor the consideration of the chestnut bark disease 22 delegates from the va rious states in which this disease is row doing considerable damage.
 East Of the Connecticut river the dis ease has been reported in 5yer 90 towns but as yet is doing compara- lively little damage. On the whole, during the past year, this disease has shown greater apparent spread than any previous year. though possibly this may be accounted for by the unusual ly severe drought. This state was rep resented at the conference by the for ester and botanist of the New Haven station.
 Because of the attendant great ex- rense. it is questionable whether the necessary outlay would really be com mensurate with the good accomplished except possibly in towEs east Of the Connecticut river where the disease is just appearing, but where the areas Of chestnut forest are less extensive than west of the river.
 People are urged not to sacrifice a thrifty WOOdIot of chestnuts simply because the blight is present on oc- casionaI tree in their forest. The mar Het, except for cordwood. is readily keeping pace with the killed timber and has not fallen appreciably. The market should not, therefore, be flood , e.! with the healthy trees at sacrifice through fear that chestnuts may be sxterninated.
 Nature in time remedies most of her ills and it is by no means certain that ali the chestnuts in the state will be Killed.

City Would Make Some Changes and Desire Conference With Companys Engineer = Wanted in Center of Street

of the warning for the hearing was read.
 Mayor Thayer stated that the hear ing would precede a special meeting of the court of common council next Monday evening at o'clock, when the hearing about the complaint against a policeman comes up-
 It is understood that the changes the city engineer would make in the layout would be the placing of the track in the center of the street, 1t coming nearer to one side at point in the layout as proposed. It also comes within i've feet of the water ing trough. and 1t is desired that it be at least twelve feet away. The run ming of the track as far as the private property line at the foot of Market street is another objection, it being desired that the cars not stand so as to block the foot of Market street, and that they should run onto the prop erty of the New Haven road by a curve at that point. or by some other arrangement.
 Mayor Thayer sta ted as the close that he had not fixed any date for the city meeting on the Littl Water street matter, but that he would after the next meeting, in all probability. The public works committee will in the meantime get the proposition in shape for presentation to the meeting.
