GETS LOW PRICE ON
 HAssAM PAVEMENT.
Public Works Committee Will Make Up Estimates for City Meeting.

In a conference at the Wauregan house on Thursday afternoon at . o'clock which Mayor Thayer and the committee on public works had with President c. A McGill of the Connecti- cut I[assam Pavement company, the president gave them price on put ting in Hassam pavement on Frank lin street from Bath street to Grove street. He gave them price which is $1.40 yard less than the cost of vitri- fled brick and would make the i'm provement cost about S8, 300 to SS, 800. The distance in Franklin street is about three times the distance from Preston Brothers to the Western Un- ion corner but the proposed Hassam pavement for Franklin street would only cost about $500 more than the vi tTihed brick did between the points named on Main street. The Franklin street readbed would also average wider says City Engineer George A. Pitcher. The price given to Norwich is the most reasonable to any city.
 With Mir. Pitcher, the street com mittee has seen a stretch of road in LynR which was put down seven years age, and after heavy travel and no re- pairs in that time is in perfect condi- ton today,

AND THE mot GUILTY" BEEF HOGS ARE FREE TO
BOOST PRICES AGAIN OF THE MEAT WE EAT

FOR ten weary years, the multi
millionaire beef hogs fought
every effort of the governmental
bring them to trial on the charge
of violating the Sherman anti
trust law.
They used every trick, every
crooked piece of technical bunk
known to the lawyers of the pres
day who have sold themselves
and their souls and their profess
sion to the money power.
They spent over a million dol
lars of their ill-gotten, watered-
stock money. They laughed at
courts and injunctions. They
Knocked the people who cried in
vain against the high price of
meats.
At last, on December last, the
government contrived to get the
packers before what we, in our
blindness, have called the bar of
justice.
During the trial the govern
ment showed that the beef. hogs
had been in a combination, so IL
legal, and of methods so dark,
that they themselves were asham-
ed of it, or afraid that it might be
found out, and hid it under the
anonymous name of "P. o. Box
247."
The government showed that
"P. o. Box 24z" consisted of
nothing. at all save weekly meet
ings of the beef barons, at which
prices were fixed and territory
distributed, and other little "busi-
ness" arrangements made.
The govern r1eY1f showed that

another name. =
The government showed that
after the packers realized they
were to be brought to trial, all
of them save one quit attending
these meetings.
But the government also show
ed that the meetings did not stop.
They continued, and what pack
ers did not attend them PERSONAL
ly were represented by their hire
lings.
The beef hogs entered a formal
plea of not guilty at the Begin
ming of the trial.
Yet even their own attorneys,
in their arguments, were not so
foolish as to try to pretend that
the packers never had violated
the law
John S. Miller, chief of the
packers array of law sharks,
dwelled long on the magnitude,
the philanthropy, of the packers
business, and then closed his ar
gument with theIextraordinary
plea that the beef barons were \
neither innocent nor guilty, but
had dwelt in a twilight zone" be-
tween innocence and guilt.
And after all, a jury of presum- ,
ably sane, enlightened and I'M
afraid citizens, yesterday found
the packers not guilty.
And then the jury reported,
and was "congratulated"-this
is the word of the Chicago press
by the packers, which indeed
was no more than their due, and
thereafter thew were taken ont TO
