COST OF PUMPING
 PLANTS MADE KNOWN

Agricultural Experiment Station)
 TUCSON, Dec. 6.-An inquiry has just been received from !. " ", Of
 Kansas in regard to the cost of in stalling irrigating plants on both small and large farms. Professor c. E. P. Smith, irrigating engineer Of the Arizona Agricultural experiment station, answers as follows T am pleased to furnish you the following
 suggestions based on Arizona pTac- tice. Ths cost of wells is exceeding ly variable on account of the element of chance involved. for in some lo- ca'ities the good water bearing ma terial lies at shallow depth, at other times it is found very deep. Some times the good gravels are in strealis or lenses, representing old water ways; sometimes the material Is like a sheet, SO that whenever one puts
 down a well he is quite sure to get
 a good water supp;y. In some in- stances excellent wells have been de- veloped at cost of not over $2G0, while at other places $2.O0O has been
 spent on a well without obtaining a good water supply always recon mend localities where the good gray.
 els are shallow. that the vel curb be
 built CT reinforced concrete and sunk as an open caisson, while if the water gravels are very deep the we'll should
 be drilled. The cost of pumps and
 piping may be estimated on a basis of S3 per acre (ahalfa) irrigated. Cheaper pumps can be purchased, but it is false economy to buy them. lt
 is of greater importance to have a well built pump than to have fine engine to drive the pump. I should recommend the California pump man
 ufacturers since they have had grea. experience along pump irrigation lines Engines cannot be estimated on an acreage basis, but depend on the pumping lift also. Gasoline engines are not being purchased any more fo- pump irrigation in Arizona, for the new types of oil burning engines which utilize low gravity residual dis tillates are coming rapidly into use. I think these same engines vii burn the Oklahoma crude oil just as 1t comes out of the ground. but they will net burn the crude California oil. A basis for estimating the cost of engines is 17 cents per acre IT, rigated for each foot that the water has to be lifted. Thus for 100 acre tract where the lift is 50 feet the cost of engine will be ss5e. In many in- stances where the farmers have nos lseen well supplied with cash, but have used good judgment with regard to their wells and pumping ants they have succeeded in making very small capital go a long way. In general. however, it Is desirable to de- velop an ample water supply. to in- stall good machinery. and to build a. good engine house over it. In some parts of Arizona ranchers have recent Iy put in high grade pumping ants at a cost of over s5.000 each. The santan wells on the Gila river in' dian reservation cost s4,000 apiece for the wells alone. but each well yields a water supply sufficient for a thousand acres of land. The cost of pumping is even harder to estimate than the cost of the wells, and in-

DECISION GIVEN BY
 COUNTY MMISSIONER MOVES

The town of Groton has appoTtion- ed to the borough $5,000 to be used for borough streets and roadways. and the sum of $l.600 which will be used in cutting down and leVeling the Baker avenue hill. The apportiOnment is the result of a hearing held Wednesday evening before County Commissioner Moves of Norwich. As is the custom committee had been appointed from the warden and burgesses to confer with the selectmen for the purpose of fixing the amount of the towns ap- propriation to the borough. The com mittee of burgesses was composed of Charles Kenyon, Charles F. White
 Eugene l.. Baker They met with AL bert F. Hewitt. Frank R. Wheeler and Marcus Trail a short while ago. but the meeting resulted in a deadlock. The two bodies could not agree upon the amount the town should give. In the borough charter there is a clause stating that in this event the matter should be settled by a county Commis- sioner Accordingly County Commis- sioner Moves of Norwich was called and after hearing both sides of the ar gUment decreed that the town grant the sum for the purposes mentioned.
 The Baker avenue hill question is settled and it will not be necessary to call a special meeting of the voters of the town for the purpose of appro- priating money for the improvement of this grade as was at first planned.

The number of seats provided for scholars in all the school rooms of the district is only S48. More than this, it is estimated that within the past four months there have come into the limits of the district more than 100 children connected with the families of those employed in the large manufacturing establishment recently opened here. Another lack is an ade- quate force of teachers which at pres ent is IT, the same number that was employed when the district was first organized There is urgent necessity of providing greater and necessary ac- commodatiOns for the district.

TRUNK LINE ROUTES
 ARE NOW DEFINED.
Will Direct Highway Commissioner Where to Spend the Money.

In case the bill providing for bond issue which passed the senate yesterday with the endorsement Of one committee and the lawyer for an au- tomobile association, the highway commissioner will find that he has little power left~in the matter of se- lecting roads to be improved.
 The bill provides for a bond issue of $5,000,000, the proceeds to be used for road work in this manner:
 For the laying out grading, foun- dation work. and preparation for pay ing of the main trunk line highways designated in Section ' hereof $1OO0,- GOO; for the placing of permanent pavement on the main trunk line highways designated in Section ment of trunk line highways other than said main trunk line highways, $1,00O 900; for the improvement of public roads other than trunk line, $1000 000
 The various trunk lines are laid out as follows:
 Trunk line No 1. from the state line in East Portchester, through Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, Southport, Bridgeport Mil ford. New Haven, East Haven, Bran ford Guilford, Madison, Clinton, West brook, Lyme, East Lyme, New Lon don Groton, Mystic and StOnington, to the state line at Westerly. R. I.
 Trunk line No 2. from New Haven to North Haven, by way of the Mid dletoWn avenue route, Wallingford, Meriden. Berlin, Hartford, South Windsor, Warehouse Point, Enfield, U the state line in Thompsonville.
 Trunk line No. 3. from the state line in Mill Plains to Danbury, Bethel and thence to Newtown, Bennett's Bridge, Southbury, Woodbury, Middlebury, to Waterbury. from Thomaston, Bristol, Plainville and New Britain to Berlin.
 Trunk line No 4. from Hartford to East Hartford. Manchester Coventry South Coventry. Willimantic, South Windham. Windham, Brooklyn, Dan ielson and Putnam. to the state line on the east.
 Trunk line No. }. from Stratfor7 north through Derby to Ansonia, Bea- con Falls. Naugatuck, Waterbury. Wa terville. Thomaston. East Litchfeld, Torrington. Winsted and Norfolk, to the state line in North Canaan.
 Trunk line No. 6. from New London on the west side of the Thames river, north through Quaker Hill. Montville and Norwich Franklin to South Wind ham.
 Under the wording of the bill none of the money can be used within the limits of any city. Whether or not ii is statesmanlike remains to be seen but if is certainly sagacious from q practical standpoint. In the house it's fate rests with the small towns and it hits a liberal number of these the only section of the state left out altogether being Middlesex county.

A new $60,000 bank building on She tuCket street was being erected in this city fifty years ago, work having been resumed on it in this week of May 1863, after an interval when the work had been temporarily suspended It was evidently to be the banking center of the city as it was to contain the Norwich Savings society, the Thames bank the Quinebaug bank, the Chelsea Savings bank, and the Eagle bank.
 The following as extracts from the Bulletin of May, 1863:
 Escaped From Rebel Service.
 May IS, 1S6S-A soldier passed through this city on Saturday on his way to his home in Plymouth. Mass, who had just escaped from the rebel service.
 He was in the south when the re- bellion broke out and being unable to make his way home was obliged to en- ter the ranks of the army. He in tended to escape to our lines on the occasion of the first battle of Fred ericksburg, but found no convenient opportunity. During the recent bat tie of Charlottesville, however, he managed to get within our line by falling as if wounded when our troops were making their advance He be- came a willing prisoner to our boys and after taking oath was sent on his way rejoicing. He says much dis satisfaction exists in the rebel armies, do their best in fighting. The opinion among them is that Burnside would have won the battle of F'redericks- burg if General Franklin had fought as well as Cen. Sumner.
 New Steamer City of New London.
 The new steamer City of New Lon don had a trial trip in New York har- Dor on Saturday. She comes upon the line shortly.
 May 19, 1S63-Work upon the new bank building in Shetucket street was resumed some days since. When COm- pleted it will be the finest building for commercial uses in the city It oc- cupies S5 feet frontage, and is 50 feet deep except at the northerly end and where width of 26 feet is eX- tended back 100 feet It is to be three of Dorchester freestone and heavy side and rear walls of brick. The southerly rooms on the lower floor is to be occupied by the Norwich Saw ings society, the next by the Thames bank and the most northerly room by the Quinebaug bank in front and the Chelsea Savings society in the rear. The Eagle bank and the office of the Eagle ArmOrY will be in the second story. The building is to be com pleted in November and will cost about $G0,000.
