SUFFRAGE EXPERIENCE
MEETING
County Workers Get Together and Re- late Problems, Difficulties and Sue ceases.

One of the most helpful forms of
 suffrage work that has lately been
 instituted in Connecticut is the county
 workers monthly meetings. These
 meetings are largely social in char
 acter, They form rendezvous for all the workers-county chairman, senatorial district leaders. and presi-
 dents of local leagues within each county and after the fashion Of re-
 igious experience meetings, the work
 CTS take counsel together, relate their own experience and receive hints and inspiration from the work and experi- ece of their colleagues, The most re- cent meeting of this character had a statewide character. It was a meet ing of Fairfield county workers, under the leadership of Mrs. H. H. Knox, and was held Monday at the White Turkey, Brookheld, at the invitation of Mrs Allen, the proprietress who Is an ardent believer in equal suffrage. The president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association, Mrs. VII liam T, Hincks of Bridgeport, was present, as was also the secretary, Mrs. Edward POrritt of Hartford, and Mrs. John Rogers, Jr., of RidgefleId, whose reputation as a suffrage speak CT Is continent wide, extending, like ! gressive party, from New York to California, also added luster to the meeting by her presence and by an- inspiring address to the workers l Among the workers who weTepresent were Miss Dotta Stone Pinneo of Nor walk and her niece, Miss Alys Greg ory, Mrs. Winton. the president of the new Equal Suffrage league of Strat- ford; Mrs. E. o. Parker and Miss FL l sic Herman of Greenwich; Mrs. s. T

 liam T. Hincks H. Alec of RidgefielC acted as one of the hostesses. Sh, sent her automobiles to meet the guest

 White Turkey. Suffrage enthusiasm
 was raised to the ninth power amonj
 all the workers as a result of tn
 conference and Fairfield county durin,

NEW BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM
 ON LOCAL TROLLEY LIN
Section of Track Between Thames Square and Bank Corner Safe guarded.

On Tuesday, Line Foreman John H. Humphrey of the Connecticut com pany connected the recently installed United States block signal system and 1t was put into operation for the first time on Tuesday evening. The old system of lights was taken out during the day. The new system covers the block between the bank corner" Broadway and Main streets, and Thames square.
 When a ear enters the block a white light shows up at that end and at the opposite end red light appears as a danger signal. Thus by .glance at the apparatus, the trolleymen can tell if there is car on the block and which way it is going. The system is automatic, being operated by the pass ing trolley wheel, Any number oi cars up to fifteen may be on the block at one time and the signal does not show a free track until just as many cars leave at one end as entered al the other. The new system avoids the possibility of any accident or in convenience due to the neglect of tn, trolleymen to operate the signals al could be the case with the old system The signaling apparatus on the cit! | end Is located on the bank corner an( on the other end on a new pole jus
 beyond the second West Side bridge
 In the day time red and white sema phores take the place of the lights,

Wilson and Divito buildings the pres ent cement curbing will remain.
 Believes in Hassam Pavement. City Engineer Pitcher believes in the Hassam pavement in spite of un- favorable opinions from some and his endorsement is borne out by the expe- rience of other cities with the same paving. An an example the city engi- neer quotes the progressive city of Portland, Oregon, where in 1908 two miles of the Hassam pavement were laid; in 1909, six more miles; in 1910. IA miles. and in 1911. 29 miles. In the construction of the pave ment, blue stone is mixed with the cement to depth of 2 inches, and this blue stone, of inch ring size gives a grit to the pavement which prevents slipping.
 Letter from Worcester.
 In cities nearer at heme a thor ough trial has seemingly shown the value of the pavement, one of the ex- amples being the city of Worcester whose experience is summed up in this letter from the head of the street department.
 December 9th, 1908. Dear Sir:
 The first Hassam pavement was put down in this city May, 1905. We havs three streets laid with Hassam pave ment, which gives first class satis. faction. It Is not noisy pavement, i! easily repaired and easily cleaned. l has gritty surface offering a gooC i foothold for horses. As 1t Is practi cally a solid pavement there is yer, little dust from the wear and wlia would naturally accumulate on an, street. It cost this city $1.50 pc square yard, although that might no be the price in your section owing t the scarcity of stone, railroad facill ties, etc. It has so many things | its favor that think it recommend itself to anyone wanting a practical ly smooth, cheap, up-to-date pave ment. I would be glad to show yol or any representative, our streets a any time.
 Yours truly,
 GEORGE c, MOSS,
 Street Commissioner
