GRISWOLD NONOGENARIAN
 HOME FROM THE WEST
James G. Bill Reviews Conditions on
 the Big Farms.

Ninety years old on Sept 7th, but enjoying life as well or even better than many good many years young CT, James c. Bill of GItswold has just returned from 8 trip in the west of three months and was caller on friends here on Monday.
 MT. Bill is always a close observer of farm interests. Grain is high there as here, he says, selling at $3O ton, and the Borden people take all the milk that is produced at $1.75 per 100 pounds. The shippers get S2 per 100 pounds, the difference being that Bor- den washes the cans for them. It was a prosperous year in southern Wiscon- sin and Illinois, the corn being a good crop this year and crops generally good Glover seed was plenty and there is pile of cabbage grown, many planting as much as 1000 acres. 1t sold at $19 per ton and all goes to the sauerkraut factories.
 Stock is high, MT. Bill says, good fresh cows selling for $100 and any . thing else that is worth anything at about $65. Some years ago the farmers went out of the hog business because 1t lost it's profit, but they are getting back into it again.
 While Mr Bill was on his western trip his birthday came around and was celebrated in grand style by his friends and relatives there.

McWilliams, who were large property owners on the street The old drain now in use to the river had been put in when East Norwich was a part or the town of Preston. He showed now 1t would be economy for the city 10 vote to build the sewer for if they dld not the county would have to go anead and construct it anyway.
 w. w. BeckWith inquired about the size of the sewer and was answered by Engineer Pitcher that it was to be an IS inch pipe and 1900 feet long and that there seemed to be no great dlt- faculties in excavating presented.
 The vote on the matter, Corporation Counsel Tanning told the meeting, had to be by pailot, and g men filed in front of the desk. all depositing Yes ballots, so that Mayor Murphy de- ciared the resolution carried after he had received Sheriff Thumm's report.
 To Redeem Bonds Maturing.
 Corporation Counsel Tanning intro duCed the next matter in the call, which was to authorize the borrowing of money needed for the redemption of an issue of city bonds to the amount of $125,000 maturing on Oct 1, 1913. Mir. Tanning explained that the issue was one of 30 years ago and that all ready from the sinking fund some of the bonds had been bought up, so that the sum to he borrowed now was not over $115,000. He said that the last general assembly gave the city aQ- .thOrity to u4ake a bond issue to take care of those that were maturing, but there was l condition about the new issue that it should not be at more tEan 1-2 ger cent. interest. and the bonds were Lot to be sold at less than par. In the present condition of the money marI.et he said it was tmpossi- blc to do anything wit ha bond issue at less than per cent, and as we can money to take care of these old ma turing bonds. as the city cannot default on them.
 He moved the passage of a resolu- tion to borrow not to exceed S115, ,00O for this purpose.
 E. A. Cherry asked if the loan would be a term loan and was told 1t would not be and to a question from C. D. Moves the IT. ayor answered that the rate of interest on the bonds maturing had been 4 per cent.
 Mayor Murphy said further that he had been to New York and Boston in an effort to see what could be done about securing money, but without success, that because of the stringency in the money market the interest ac- count of the city would cost $5,325.86 more than lest year. He said that the Norwich Sa' ings society had always been accommodating and let the city have money at 1, IA and 1-2 per cent, but now 1t felt that it must have per cent.
 Corporation Counsel Tanning cast the one Yes ballot that went into the box on this question, and the meeting ! then adjourned

A special city meeting of about twenty minutes which had 20 voters present when Mayor Murphy called 1t to order and was reinforced by sew eral more later disposed of the two matters in the call Monday evening in the town halI. City Clerk Stephen D. Moore read the warning and City Sheriff Gustaves Thumm guarded the ballot box and counted the votes when the two ballots necessary were taken.
 The first matter 10 come before the meeting was in relation to building a sewer in Smith avenue for which a petition signed by the following had been presented: Dr. N. B. Lewis, Thomas J. Kelly, Shepard B. Palmer, H. M Lee H. A. Tirrell, Charles Q. Murphy, P. J. Cassidy, M. D. Charles D. Moves, Lester Greenman, A. Thatch CT Otis, George E. Parsons, c.

Cary, Otto F. Ernst. TelIey D. Babcock, George Greenberger, John F. Craney, Henry G. Peck, Lewis k. Church. c. H. Haskell George H. LOT ing, Felix Callahan John McWilliams.
 Joseph T. Tanning stated to the meeting that the city engineer had es- timated that to construct the proposed sewer would cost $3 40 and he brought forward a resolution which he said he had been requested to present, that the city meeting approves the layout and construction of a public sewer, to- gether with any necessary catch ba- sins, from point near Hamilton ave nue in and through Smith avenue to the first pier of the bridge over the Shetucket river and authorizing the court of common council to appro- priate the sum of $3,440 or so much thereof as is needed to construct the sewer.
 County Commissioner Charles D. Moves in advocating the passage of the resolution explained how this pc tition for an appropriation was coming in at this time and not at the. other time in the year when appropriations are usually asked for, and said this was a matter that had been recom- mended time and again by the city health officer whose name headed this petition. The school authorities also consider 1t a necessity and the town school board had signed the petition to a man. The county of New London has recently bought new property here and will have to lay a private drain unless this is built, but if the citizens vote to lay the sewer the county stands ready to pay it's assessment on the 300 feet of frontage which it has.
 Mr. Moves mentioned that the school with 100 children enrolled had only primitive toilet conVeniences and the county home 0uthoUses are nuisance to the neighborhood, although kept in the best condition possible through dls- fufectants. Mir Moves spoke of neigh boring property owners who had sign ed the petition, among them Peck ana
