through Waterbury, Meriden, Hart ford, Manchester, Coventry, Williman- tic to Danielson. There would also be shorter route from Willimanttc through Norwich to New London. The road from Willimantic to Danielson can pass through South Windham thus coinciding with the Willimantic-N wich route for about three miles.
 Concrete Foundation Suggested. A six inch foundation of solid con- crete is suggested for the state roads, the matter of top dressing to be de- cided by a commission of experts. The expense of 400 miles of such a road would be between five and six million dollars, and it is suggested that state bonds be issued to raise the money. The expense of maintenance would be half million dollars a year. The roads of the present are all water bound, said the judge, and have no staying qualities By constructing roads such as suggested, the state would have permanent roads and could have them paid for in ten years time. The concrete foundation roads cost about one-third more and last seven times as long as the water bound roads.
 Prime Essentials Are Three. According to the judge, the associa- 1 ton will recommend to the legislature that no money be appropriated for | highways other than of concrete con- ] struction. The matter of road build 1 ing, said the judge, is merely a mat | ter of business. There are three es sentials for good roads. They should | be elastic, waterproof and not too eX pensive. Any man would borrow mon ey to improve his business if he be- lieved that he could return it in a | short time and still continue with the | improved business. Interest on the | bonds will be more than covered by the fees of the automobilists, according l to the present registration. A road such as is recommended is guaranteed 1 for five years, and the guarantee can be renewed for five years at slight expense.
 Dinner at Hotel.
 After the talk, the visitor took din- ner at the hotel Mayor Murphy, Pres ident Fairclough and Messrs. King and Hill dining with him. Upon leaving here, Messrs.

FALSE REPORT THAT
 CHELSEA WAS ON FIRE
Railroad Man Started Story in New London, When Steamer Was Late Reaching There.

A report that the steamer Chelsea was on fire was in circulation here early Thursday evening, having start ed in New London, where a railroad man had reported that he had seen the boat on fire in the river.
 Agent Knouse of the company here, investigated the rumor, finding that the boat had left Montville all right, and had been seen from there to reach the bridge at New London, although she was considerably behind time as she did not leave Norwich until about 6.30.
 He explained that the boat had some trouble in getting past the dredger in the river, and as the dredger works with a bright light at night. it prob ably gave the appearance as if the Chelsea was on fire when she passed the dredger, and was probably seen just at that time by the railroad man.
