ENIARCINo THE CITY.

When the annexation of portions of the town to the city is being promoted Norwich is only doing what other communities are considering for their benefit in that direction. Plans for increasing the limits of the city of Hartford and also of Springfield are receiving the attention of the resi- dents of the cities and of the districts which it is proposed to annex. Nor walk and South Norwalk have decided to consolidate as one city, realizing that there are benefits to be gained thereby which cannot be obtained by the present dual government. Nor wich therefore is attempting what other growing cities are and trying to bring about changes which will be for the benefit of all concerned.
 The Norwich Town and Bean Hill section of the town and Sunnyside have for years been getting the ben eft of the city by the fact that they are just over the line, being in fact simply the continuance of the city, but by reason of the old line they are in the town and their neighbors Arc III IHe Clty. Olner CllleS udNe found that the abandonment of the dual government for the same terri tory has been accomplished without detriment to such districts as are an- nexed, in fact they wonder how they ever got along. under the old condi- tions after having tried the change. President Walker of the Thermos company demonstrated the proper spirit when he insisted that for the benefit and development of Norwich, the Thermos plant should be included. if not already planned, in the pro- posed annexed section. It is this same spirit which prevails in the Sunny side section and which it is believed Norwich Town will display when the time comes.
