 On this building, which is located to the south and west of the other build ings, work was not started until the others were well along in construction. Just now the carpenters are finishing the floors and roofing. The north end is already shingled The east ward building is ready for the doors and windows, being practically completed on the exterior.
 The main building or administration building. located between the two wards. is very nearly completed. On Monday the masonry and brick work were being given cement finish and the carpenters were at work on the roofing. A sprinkler system has been installed.
 The buildings are long and low and present an attractive appearance. On the outside they are finished in shin

WILL REPAIR OLD
 POLICE SIGNAL SYSTEM
GamewslI Boxes Net to Be Secured
 Now. Commissioners Decide.

Influenced by the cost of the Game well police signal system and the present high tax rate in Norwich, the police commissioners have decided that 1t will not be expedient just now to attempt any installation of the ssytem here. The present police sig nal system will be repaired for use, and then 1t is planned the Gamewell systems cost can be put in the esti- mates for the city meeting next June.
 It Is estimated that new wire for the present system can be put up at a cost of about s360 for the three miles of wire that will be needed. This same wire will then be available for the Gamewell system when put in.
 If the Gamewell system as required for Norwich were used, six miles of wire would need to be strung. A four circuit system would be put in, with the expectation of using three cir cults now and having one circuit for future development. Each circuit would take care of 20 boxes which is far more than Norwich would need, but a three circuit board is necessary any way. and it is thought well also to provide for the future. For this the Gamewell company has quoted $5,500 as the cost of installation, but the police commissioners figure that they can make it cost much less by looking after putting in the line them selves.

MoHEoAN PARK.
Pathway and Road Both Finished
 Within the Appropriations

The new footpath in Mohegan park from the roque grounds to road No. 1 and the new road, called road No. g., have both been completed inside the amounts appropriated for them, a fact which casts credit upon the manage ment of Supt. John Dun. who has done the work.
 The footpath gives visitors from Franklin street an easy way of get ting into the park instead of going up Rockwell street to the Platt avenue entrance. Road No. 8 leads from the Washington street road to road No. 1 and provides a short cut to Greene vile from Washington street. Many people are finding this out now and the road is coming into increasing use for travellers from upper Washington street to Greenevll.e. ~
 The park boards regular meetins time was on Monday afternoon. but the absence of quorum prevented the transaction of business.

WORKING FOR BETTER
 HIGHWAY TO GRoToN.
Norwich Men Go Over It and Hope to
 Cat First Glass Road.

As a step towards the securing of first class road between Norwich and Groton. J. D. Hayiland, president or the Board of Trade, with committee selected from among the business men, went over the road on Monday with the object of learning it's exact condi- tion and possibilities. The party in cluded Archibald Mitchell, in whose automobile the trip was made, Frank H. Smith. Frank J. King. Charles D. Moves and J. D. Haviland.
 With a good highway between Groton and Norwich 1t Is thought that there would be much auto travel over this route, as people from Groton. West erly and the various shore resorts east of the Thames would come up the river On that side in preference to crossing on the ferry. The scenery on this side of the river Is very pretty and with a good highway this route would undoubtedly prove more attrac- tive than that on the other side of the river. It would serve to bring auto parties here which nov go elsewhere
 The Norwich men who have been agitating the subject have conferrei with the county commissioners on the project. and they in turn have con suited the selectmen in the towns in terested. The towns have made some improvements in the roads, probably as much as has been possible for them to do, but this is not sufficient to bring the road to the standard at which 1t should be maintained. It is hoped to bring to bear some influence which will have the power to put the road n perfect condition, connecting NorWlch and Groton with good highway.
 Some time ago committee of Nor wich business men visited State High way Commissioner J. H. Macdonald at Hartford. bringing his attention to the poor condition of the road, and improvements were promised. How ever, the road continues to be in an unsatisfactory condition. The busi- ness. men of Norwich still hope and believe that sooner or later it will be possible to secure a real highway along the east side of the Thames which is by far the more attractive side of the river.
