mission to do this will probably be Sc
cured this morning, so that, except at
the hour of ten. every ten blows on
that bell will indicate that other pub
lie spirited men have come forward
for the welfare of Norwich.
At 4.30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
there was a meeting in the board OF
trade rooms of the committee and the
executive committee of the board. at
which there was a thorough discussion
of the progress made and the best
methods for making a canvass of this
kind. 1t was decided to adopt the
Ward plan of covering the town
whereby there is a chairman or gem
eral named, who appoints ten men to
be captain of teams and they in turn
name nine others to serve on theiT
teams, This is the scheme by which
large sums of money have been raised
in other places in q short time and in
this city at the Y. M. c. A., it has been
tried with marked success for the past
two years.
The combined committee named as
the chairman or general William F
Hill and General Hill has named these
captains, Frederic w. Cary, Rutherford
C. Plaut, John J. Cookery, E. c. Jew
EFT, Frank j. King, Allyn l.. Brown
James l.. Case, c. Morgan Williams
Henry T. Parker. The tenth is to bt
named today, by whic htime it is also
expected that most of the teams viii
be made up.
Each noon the teams will meet fol
lunch, at which time the result O.
the canvass will be made known. Much
enthusiasm has been shown at sucl
gatherings and with the rivalry be-
| tween the teams excellent progress i!
| looked for. There being 800 pages il
| the directory, each team will have 81
! to canvass, which will mean abou
| three pages to each man. Under thi
plan, should each team raise the sun
| of $4,000, the object is secured, an,
| it is expected that it will be speedil,
accomplished, ten days being set a
| the time in whic hefforts will be mad
| to bring it about.
There were about 20 in ATTENDANCE
at the meeting Tuesday and the exec
utive committee ratified the vote o
Monday evening, which expressed tn
