POLICE SIGNALS DISCONTINUED.
Boxes Too Dangerous Under Present Conditions-May Have Protectors Attached.

On account of possible danger to the users. due to the proximity to high voltage wires, the police green light signal system has been discontinued by Chairman W. c. Mclaughlin of the board of police commissioners. There are four of the signals, located at Franklin square, West Side, Falls and Greeneville. No accident has ever happened here through these signals, but owing to the possible danger it is considered advisable to discontinue the system before an accident occurs.
 The accident in New London last year when Car Starter Spottswood lost his life through an electric shock from a signal box of a somewhat similar type showed what danger men using these signal boxes were exposed to.
 Commissioners Mclaughlin and E. E. Baker discussed the matter with Manager Hunt of the telephone con- pany Wednesday afternoon and in the opinion of the latter protectors might be placed on the phones which would Obviate all danger. The matter of pro tectors will be investigated and if the cost is not too heavy they will doubt less be adopted.
 At present the police are using pri- vate telephones in the vicinity of the signal boxes.

Just about one year ago-June 30, to be exact-J. B. Shannon purchased the so-called Lucas property, at the corner of Shetucket and Little Water streets, later adding to 1t by the purchase of the adjoining lot on Little Water street from the c. H. Davis estate, and he has now taken the first steps in the foundation work for a four story building which he is to erect on the Davis lot.
 From MT. Shannon's well recognized policy of improving every piece of property which comes into his owner ship, there is assurance that the build- ing which he will erect will be a sub- stantial and credftable addition to the business properties in the city, and to his own extensive holdings, which al ready exceed those of any single land owner in the city. The four story building on the Davis lot is quickly to be followed by a three story building on the Lucas lot, thus covering the whole of the land. Through the dif- ference in grade on Little Water street, between the east and the west end of the lot, the roofs of the two buildings will come on the same level, and it is Mr. Shannon's idea to have a roof gdrUeH, udNlHS bDOuL kUsUVV SQudTS feet which could be devoted to this purpose, The Lucas property, pur- chased by MT. Shannon after the fire, in May, 1911, which destroyed the buildings on 1t, was 16s feet on Little Water street and 1S1 feet on Shetucket street. This was added to by the pur- chase of the Davis property, with 56 foot frontage on Little Water street. With nearly all this side of the street in the hands of oen owner, it was seen that there was an opportunity to

accomplish the needed widening and strengthening of Little Water street, which was voted for and the appro- priation made at a city meeting. Tn consequence MT. Shannon's new build ings will face a fine wide street, very different from the narrow, crooked and crowded passageway which Little Wa ter street has been for years.
 MT. shannon has decided upon the ground plan of the buildings which ne will erect here, but the upper stories are still subject to change adapt them to such uses as may appear ad- visable or required.
 The buildings to be erected will be of concrete and brick construction, the front being of light gray brick. The four story building on the Davis lost, which Is next to the Cassidy property on inc corner of Little Water and Market streets, will be 65 fet wide and will provide for three srores each 70 feet deep. As shown by the excaVat- ing that has already ben done there. the foundations and the cellar for this building will have to be blasted out of solid rock, which comes within a few feet of the surface all over the lot.
 In the whole property, when com pleted. tther will be thirteen stores and 0 garage 100 rect square our Ot these stores and the garage Will Ironi on Shetucket street. The garage will occ1rnv all three floors of the build ing. and will be at the south end of the Shetuoket street front. It will have an elevator in 1t and a machine shop.
 The corner store on Shetucket street will probably have an entrance both i on Shetucket and Little Water streets The depth of the stores on the Lucas lot MT, Shannon has not yet determin- ed

Hanson Cab a curio.

A hanson cab, duly n4mbered, la beled and catalogued. has been placed with other relics of the past in the new London museum in Keusington palace that posterity may see how its ancestors of the nineteenth century were carried about the streets of Lon don. It is true that a considerable number of hanson cabs are still to be seen in London, but they are merely the shabby ghosts of the smart vehicle that Benjamin DisraeI called the gondola of London" Soon. it is be- heved, the hanson will be as rare as the sedan chair and the authorities of the London museum have perhaps been wise in securing q good and au- thentic specimen before 1t is too late.
 Private hansoms have become so rare in London that the sight of one q few days ago in St, James street was deemed worthy Of mention in the newspapers. Between 1880 and 1890 such S cao was one of the ordinary features of the London street show. King Edward when Prince of Wales used a private hanson habitually in the decade mentioned. The cab is still in the news at Buckingham palace.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PIcNIcs.
Two Boats, Yantic and Shetucket, Are Popular This Week for These Out inqs.

On the initial trips of the Yantic and Shetucket, the new river motor boats of the Thames Navigation company, last Thursday, it was necessary to run at slow speed in each case on one mo- tor only. owing to a twisting of the stern starboard bearings of the boats. The trouble was due to the newness of the boats, which, having been in the water but a short time, swelled, the shafting being displaced On Saturday the boats were hauled out at the yards at Noank and the trouble remedied. so that now they are easily making their scheduled time. Owing to the slowness of the trips on the day of the Yale e- Harvard races many people not know ing the cause, gained the impression that the boats were lacking in power and speed.
 The boats are becoming more and more popular, and are taking down larger and larger crows each day. On Tuesday the Trinity Episcopal Sunday school went down on an outing; on Wednesday the Central Baptist Sun doy school was carried to Kitemaug; today the Park Congregational Sun day school sails on the line; on Friday the Christ church Sunday school, and on Saturday St. Mars church.

GETTING CITY DOCK
 READY FOR RIVER BOATS.
Now SpiInq Driven and Platform Built Line May Be Running from There Saturday.

Repairs and improvements at the City dock, at Rose place, for the ac commodation of the Thames Naviga- tion company passenger motor boats, were completed on Wednesday. Pro vided the Samuel Carlton, the lighter engaged in removing stone from the channel has not further accidents, the river probably will be clear by Satur- day so that the Yantic and Shetucket may tie up at the city dock. Since their trips started last Thursday the boats have been docked at the Hall Bros wharf.
 Twenty spiles were driven along the front of the dock and on the west side, those at the front strengthening it at this point. The spiles driven at the west or wn-Stream, side were plac- ed out about six feet from the dock thus providing for new platform on that side. There has also been pick ct fence built along the dock to keep the people from crowding up to the edge when the boats are loading, and ticket house has been erected. At present the ticket house has been moved down to the Hall Bros dock, where the boats are now landing.

SHOTS BY THIRD COMPANY
 COST GOVERNMENT $1 500
Norwich Coast Artillery Boys Broke up the Tarest-6oth Commands Are Back from Camp Tour.

Sunburned. tanned, and filled with enthusiasm over their ten days en- campment at Fort H. c. Wright, Fish CTS island, the members of the two local companies of militia dropped of the train at this city about 40 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The companies left the island at about 1.45 and on arriving at New London the entire corps of thirteen companies, headed by a band, paraded up State street, turn ing to the left at the old courthouse and making loop back 10 State street. The baggage arrived in this city at GAO
 On account of the extremely foggy weather at the island during the past week only six of the thirteen com panies were able to use the machine guns. It had been planned to have the other seven companies shoot Wed nesday morning, previous to breaking camp. but continued foggy weather prevented. The shooting of the Third company was far ahead of that of any other company On Tuesday the Third company demolished the target, be- yond repair. As each charge for the gun costs about S200. and the target cost S1,2o0, the two shots fired by the Third company cost the government something like $1,600. The boys all enjoyed their stay at the island and the officers consider the camp as high ly satisfactory in every respect.
 A Credit to the City.
 The local companies have made a record which is a credit to the city. If more people could visit camp and see the batteries and the men at work they would understand better that the tour of duty is something besides a picnic, said Capt W. c. Tarbox of the Fifth company, in speaking of the ten days tour. They would realize to some extent what wonderful ma chimes modern disappearing guns are and the skill and care necessary to use them The work of the camp was well planned to accomplish the great est possible amount of work. If at mospheric conditions interfered with the programme, new orders were is- sued. Three times during the encamp- i ment company commanders were awakened during the small hours of 1 the night to receive new orders for | the next day. Much of the success of | this tour of duty was due to the un- | tiring efforts of the inspector -instruc- l tor, Capt Brainard Taylor, U. s. A. | He has shown marked ability and great | earnestness as an instructor during ] the past year and has an advanced i course planned for another season.
 The artillery reserves of Connecticut are very fortunate in having such a | successful teacher
