sUPT COUSINS LEAVES
NORWICH G. WESTERLY ROAD
Given a Surprise Banquet by En-
pIoyes and Presented a Beautiful
Gold Watch as Token of Esteem.


Thursday night, Supt. Judson Cous-
ms completed his work in that posi-
ton with the Norwich & Westerly
Traction Co., the company finding it
necessary to reduce expenses to en-
deaver to get the road on a paying
basis, and one of the changes was in
the office of superintendent Before
the first of April Mr.. Cousins will have
decided which of two propositions he
will accept, one being to a city in
New England in the same line of work
and the other in the west. His family
will remain here until fall, any way.
The recognition of the esteem in
which he is held by the employees Of
the Norwich & Westerly road and the
Pawcatuck Valley road gave him a
surprise banquet at the Wauregan
house Thursday evening, at which
about thirty were present. He was
called to the hotel on business and
there found the party assembled to
greet him. He was completely taken
by surprise. but as in all emergencies
he retained control and was the leader
in the delightful evening which fol-
lowed.
After the banquet, John Taylor, Jr,
electrician at the car barn, in behalf
Of the employees presented Mr.. Cousins
one of the finest gold Hamilton rail-
road watches, which was secured from
Ferguson & Charbonneau, the watcn
inspectors of the New Haven road.
The gift was accepted with thorough
appreciation of the good will and es-
TEEN which il carried with it.
For the past four years Mr.. Cousins
has been the superintendent of the
road and has always given the best
OF service, and ii is regretted that the
company finds itself unable TO retain
his services. For the past % years he
has lived here, coming to Norwich as
conductor on the old horse cars, and
ran from the West Side to Taftville.
He continued until the electric road
was installed and from here went to
Worcester, after which he came back
and was on the Montville line some
time From there he went to New
York, and then to the New London
and East Lyme road, where he was
master mechanic and superintendent
two years. From that position he went
to tie Norwich & Westerly road. He
has made many friends mere by his
uniform courtesy, and it is with much
regret that they learn Ct his probable
departure from the city.
tle will be succe eded as superinteu-
dent by S. J. Kehoe, who has been
master mechanic for the road for some
time.

BY request of Norwich citizens and
a committee from the Board of Trade
the state tuberculosis commission came
here on Thursday morning for an in
spection of the Sholes farm and any
other sites which the committee had
to offer and which they had not SEEN
1t was found after they had reached
here that they had seen not only all
the IA sites on which the citizens held
options. but many more regarding
which one Of the committee said they
knew nothing about, and Secretary
Allen of the commission stated that a
visit had been made to the ShOles farm
last fall.
Commissioners Separated.
This time, however, more time was
spent in the inspection of the farm,
President Knight of the commission
and Secretary Allen spending two
hours there, while Dr. Maher, who had
limited time, was there for about an
hour. Dr. S. J. Maher came here from
New Haven, arriving at 1920, and as
he WIS obliged to leave early he was
taken to the farm at once by DR.. J. j.
DonohIe and William B. Young L. O.
Smith and Willis Austin also accom-
panying. He looked the property over
well, spending quite little time there,
and left at 11.45 O'Clock.
Dr. G. H. Knight president of the
commission, and Secretary G. l. Allen
reached here about noon and they
were accompanied to the farm by DR..
DonOhue, GrosvenOr Ely, John Eccles,
II. W. Tibbits NJ. J. Kelly, while the
other members Of the committee ex-
cepting J. d. Haviland were at the
farm. They went all over the place
and viewed its advantages, obtaining
the views from its point of vantage and
inquiring into the means of getting
supplies there, the question Of light
and water and the general accessible
ty of the place The proposition of the
local citizens was also made to the
commission. wherein the state will not
lose any money by change of site,
and the commissioners inquired if the
entire 100 acres instead of the pro-
posed 40 could be secured. Commits
sioner Gunshanan was not present
No Public Statement.
There was much anxiety to know
how the commission felt in regard to
the change, but they made no public
expression. however, though they
thought it less accessible than the Post
place. 1t was also thought that there
was only a light soil overlaying the
bedrock, which would necessitate quite
a little blasting for a foundation and
the digging of the trench for water.
The matter of the drainage was also
looked into.
1t will not be known until after the
commission meets. probably next week,
what action they viii take They will
then have opportunity to talk over the
proposition in all its details. Consid-
cradle has beaa said regarding the
Johnson property in Preston opposite
GTeeneville, but the commission had
seen that and the same trouble exists
as with all the others except the Post
place, and that is the inaccessibility.
One member of the Board of Trade
committee was of the opinion that the
commissioners looked favorably upon
the Sholes property. but one close to
the commission but not a member of a
committee spoke rather doubtful about

The statement that the secretary. OF

This house must adopt one view OF
the other. and the extraordinary state
ment OF the gentleman from Indiana
made in his speech on this subject
must be considered with both his Ut

Of this question is not to be secured
