When the superior court came in here on Wednesday morning, continu ing the April additional session, the first case scheduled was the New London divorce suit of Inlan l.

ONE OF THE THREE OLDEST INSURANCE COMPANIES
Mutual Assurance Corporation of This City Chartered in 1795-Has $136,- 900 in Force Now.

In an article that estimates the total fire insurance in force in the United States at thirty billion dollars, one of the iremen's journals refers to the fact two companies in Phila- delphia and one in this city are among the thirty five insurance companies which received charters after the Rev olutionary war and before the end of that century.
 The Norwich company referred to is The Mutual Assurance Corporation of the City of Norwich, which received it's charter in 1794 and is still doing business with policies covering $136, GOO in force on Dec. 31, 1911. This is represented by 62 policies, all on dwelling houses in New London county. most of them being in the cities of Norwich and New London.
 Policy No. 1, issued in 1795 by the Norwich company upon the sO-called Benjamin Huntington house at Nor wich Town opposite Gen. Harlands s is still in force, but the company now makes no further attempt to write new business. For the last 75 years 1t has paid 100 per cent return prem lums and the only executive officer now is Charles R. Butts, who is secretary and treasurer. One of the noteworthy things about the company is that the records of every one of it's meetings are kept in one book, the same book being used for the records or the an nual meeting of Jan. l, 1912, and for the meeting of Jan. 1, 1Ts5.
 The two Philadelphia companies re- eeived their charters in 1794 The oldest company in New York does not date back further than 1906, nor in Massachusetts further than ISIS.

GOOD START ON STONY BROOK WORK
Contractor Begins With 60 Men and Several Teas-Cean- ing Out To Be Done First North Side-Farview and Bog Meadow Both Filled To Capacity.

so that the concrete work is out of the way, although there is some fix Ing to be done about the spillway. There are also stones to be put on at the gate house. It is probable that the contractor will not be through with the work till October
 Superintendent Corl1eTy found that the 24-inch pipe was taking care of the natural flow of the brook all right Wednesday at Stony brook.
 At H'airview reservoir, Superintend- ent Corkery stated that there was now so much water that some was going to waste, but this could not be helped. Beg meadow has all the water it can hold, and with Fairview in the same condition, the department can see that it has water enough on hand to keep Fairview full to it's capacity until June l. This will be done by grad uating the flow from Bog meadow to Fairview at the right point to main tain it at full pond, and if Fairview is full on June 1st, it can be conh- dently stated that all danger of any water shortage in the present season is at an end.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-04-18

Supt. |. J. Corkery of the water de- partment made a visit to the site of the new Stony brook reservoir and dam on Wednesday afternoon. where the contractor this week resumed work after the winter shutdown, and upon his return the superintendent reported that the contractor had taken hold vigorously. with about sixty men at work and a few teams
 The first work to be done is in cleaning out and this has been started on the north side of the reservoir. At the present time the ground is found very soft, due to the large precipita ton in the heavy spring rains, and this interferes to some extent with the work of teams. But the work to be done just now is of the kind that does not call for a large number of teams at the start. The men employed on the job at present are mostly those wno were working last fall, many of them coming from Hartford. By next week probably more teams will be put to work,
 The spillway dam is practically done

REVENUE CADETS WILL
 GRADUATE AT FIT. TRUMBuLL
Class of Eleven to Pass Out in May
 Incoming Class of Seven.

Exercises of graduation will be held at the school of instruction, revenue cutter service, at Fort Trumbull May l5. They will be the second held since the removal of the school to New London from Arundel Cove, Md.
 The first graduation at New Lon don was held last year. It was ad- vanced some weeks because of the de- mand for officers in the revenue cut ter service. The places of the grad uating cadets were not taken by any incoming class, and as a result the school is now much smaller than when first established at the old fort
 In fact there are now but two classes, the first class of Il and the second class of 16 The first class of II is the class to be graduated. All of the cadets now at the school are engineers now.
 Captain Jacobs, superintendent of the school, has stated that he expects an incoming class of seven cadet en- gineers in May early. The II cadets, to be graduated May 15, will be as- signed at once to duty on cruising cut ters along the coast .
 They will not go on the annual practice cruise of the Itasca. The Itas- ca will leave June 4 with the 16 ca dets of the present second class and the seven incoming cadet engineers aboard.
 The growing importance of the rev enue cutter service is shown in the fact that the school here cannot pro duce officers enough to fill the de- mand, In time of peace the revenue cutter service is of even greater ser vice than in time of war, and it's scope grows yearly.
