RETRAclNG A SURVEY
FOR A RAILROAD.
Half a Dozen Engineers Are at Work
from the Lisbon Side of TaftviIe to
Midland Division Near Baltic.

Employees of the New Haven road
are engaged N retracing survey
made in 1900 for a railroad track from
a point on the Lisbon side, near the
Taftville station, through Lisbon and
Sprague to a point near Baltic, a dis
t. nee of five miles. Engineer A. c..
White and a half dozen men are well
started on the job. and it is expected
that they will be engaged there for the
next two weeks.
A rough draft is being made of that
line at the present time, but whether
there are any intentions of using it in
the near future is not known.
In the past dozen years there has
been much talk about cross line there
which would mean a big saving in dis
tanee in getting freight here from
Hartford over the New Haven line
The road running between Willimantic
and Plainfield, going through Baltic
make sa big dip south from a parallel
line between the two places, and the
bringing of trains over such a pro-
posed connection would greatly short
EN- the distance and provide the ac-
Communications on that road now given
by the Central Vermont Should it
Join the Midland division line at Lis
hon or Versailles II is claimed there
would also be a big saving in travel
from Worcester south The Midland
division and the Norwich branch lines
go parallel from Lisbon into Plainfeld
but from Taftville to Jewett City the
Norwich branch follows the river on a
somewhat crooked line
Agent F.. c. Jewett of the New Ha-
Ven road In this city was unable to
state what was in tended for the con-
rection or whether it was intended to
build there right away or not.
Engineer White in charge of tile
work stated that he had no informa-
ton in regard to the building Of the
lire. He will sc out rough map OF
it as directed and submit it to the Of
ticials.

for development n connection with the
proposed terminal for ocean liners at

Warden Frank A. Hill, Past Supreme
Wardens r w. Peabody and Thomas
w. Chaplin, Grand Warden P. Whalen,
and Grand Secretary Jerry Wall Of
the Connecticut grand lodge.
supreme Warden Chaplin, in opening
the subject, said that while there had
been a numerical loss in membership
since the double assessment plan hSd
gone into effect, there had been an
increase in the financial side, and the
change in rate had not been made be-
cause the Old rate was inadequate to
pay current death claims, but be-
cause the law obliged them to estab-
lish a reserve fund, and by the in
crease there had been a gain of sl17-
GOO in the funds in the last eight
months, and there was now reserve
| fund of 1000 on hand, with every
| proved claim paid up to o'clock o!
Friday afternoon.
| Past Supreme Warden Chaplin also
| spoke at length explaining the situn-
| ton which first brought about tho
calling of tho extra assessment, and
said that the order had really been in
advance of the enactment Of the law
! in this respect and hod won the com
! incubation cf the insurance commits
| sioners for its progressiveness and its
/ demonstrated ability to meet any ex-
/ igeney. He considered that the rank

! was really better satisfied with the
/ condition of the order than it was
three years ago, because of its in

Others of the visiting grand ano
