rounding towns proposed that congress authorize contract for the eomple- ton of the work at a cost of $2, 500,-
 900; which sum was granted.
 The state of Connecticut will start to expend in few days $1,000,000
 toward building docks at the mouth Of the Thames river. This expendi- ture of money is in itself something that the government should recognize, as these docks will benefit the gov
 ernment as well as our state.
 The people of Connecticut do not think they are getting their just share of the appropriations made by con
 gress considering the population of Connecticut, and the millions of dol
 lars thath are invested in manufac
 turing industries. We have been wait ing from year to year for congress to appropriate a sufficient sum of
 money for permanent improvements on the Thames river
 If the bill now pending in congress is approved, it means the building up | of the banks of the Thames river and the re-inVeStment of thousands and thousands of dollars in industries that would be brought here if this improve ment were made to the channel The need of a broad -~licy and of cooperation between the federal gov 1 ernment and the states to secure i'm proved waterways was the keynote of
 all the speeches at the session. Rep resentatives from nearly all parts of the country took part in the day's pro
 gramme. All agreed that better water weys were needed to meet and help in crease the growing commerce of the nation
 Senator Fletcher of Florida dwelt upon the value of a Mississippi to the Atlantic canal not only to the adjacent
 territory, but to the entire Atlantic coast.
 Toprosay,+a+;,,a cso,a1I of NTor+t, Ctar olina said the intra- coastal canal from
 New England to Florida would be of mutual benefit to hundreds of cities in
 dozens of states. and Representative
 Moore of Pennsylvania voiced the same sentiment.
 spoke of the importance of a Missis- sippit Rio Grande canal.
 Speaking for New England.
 William s. McNarry of Boston, speaking for New England, asserted that the continued growth of that sec tions greot industries depended on The confused railroad situation there, he said, had brought things to a point where it was essential that waterways be improved to handle the commerce of the New England states.
 Women Had Part. Wednesday nights session of the congress was given over to the women, beginning with a reception at the hotel headquarters to the vice president and Mrs. Marshall and the speaker of the house and Mrs. Clark,
 Mrs. Sarah w. Strout of Portland, Me, president of the Woman's Rivers and Harbors Congress, later spoke on developed waterways and their rela- ti0n to the home maker.

 For the Thames River.
 Before the Connecticut delegation Mayor Murphy made a short but force ful speech, which was received with enthusiasm and in which he pointed out the need of more government ap- propriations for the Thames river in particular and for Connecticut water ways in general.
 tion to form a Connecticut deeper wa terways association.
 Mayor Murphy spoke as follows:
 MT. President and Gentlemen: I appeal to this convention, for their moral support in the interests of the state of Connecticut, with popula- ton of 1,115 GOO, and also in behalf of the manufacturing interests of this state with over $517 100000 of cap ital invested in manufacturing indus tries; in regard to a bill now present. ed to congress asking for the widen ing, deepening, and strengthening of the channel on the Thames river of Connecticut.
 The condition that existed on the Thames river B or 30 years ago has changed owing to the depth of water required by freight carrying vessels of today. There are from four to five hundred vessels yearly entering our river. The amount of coal dis charged annually is about 500,00 tons, to say ndthing of lumber, and other commodities of freight. We are handi- capped in a great many ways owing to the fact that the channel is not deep enough for vessels consigned to our river to carry their full capacity of tonnage
 In the past the government has ex- pended very little money toward im proving the channel I would state here that what the government has expended on the Thames river every practically wasted: all that this money has done is to take out part of the sand and mud that had accumulated there from year to year. We would like to have the government make some permanent improVemnt that, in the end would be great saving to the government as well as being a great benefit to the state of Connecti- cut. The condition that exists on the Thames river today is similar to what existed in Houston on Galveston bay. In 1871 the channel there was only 12 feet deep. A project was started for a depth of 25 feet and $2.500,000 was expended. Tn 19O0 with this amount of money the channel was half cOulDleted In 1910 a committee rem resenting the city of Houston and sur

PRICES IN 1874
 FOR GENERAL COMMODITIES
Shown by Old Book in Possession es William McNeeiy-Rum and Gin Among the Staples.

William McNeely of No. 4S0 Bos- we'll avenue, has in his possession an interesting old book of store accounts of the year 1914. The book was brought to this city from Providence by the late John R. Thayer, who came to Greeneyille in 1887 and for years con ducted the Thayer tap and die works. The book is in an excellent condition in spite of the century which has pass ed since the book was in use
 From the accounts, the book was apparently the record of credit sales of a general store articles of all va rieties appearing in the accounts. Rum and gin were two very staple commod- ities and their use appears to have been pretty general in those days as hardly an account appears without a goodly amount of one or the other among the other necessities of life. Prices on flour vary from $S.75 to $14.50 per barrel Sugar sold at about five pounds for a dollar a quart of n1olasses 20 to S5 cents eggs 25 to tea S1.90 a pound, loaf sugar 33 cents bread, loaVes for 10 cents, butter 25e a pound, sparerib 1Gc pound, ham 1Sc a pound oats S100 a bushel, beef 10c 3, pound Cotton cloth is quoted at 50 cents a, yard and one charge of four pairs of shoes totals $3.25. Cheese is given at 6 cents a pound. The prices vary greatly so that it is difficult to determine what normal prices were at that time In some instances prices apparently dou- bled in a few months.

Town Clerks New Book Typewriter.

One of the new 1914 model book typewriters made by Harrisburg, Pa, firm has just been added to the equip- ment at the office of Town Clerk Charles L. HoIbrook, replacing the one formerly in use, which has been taken in trade by the firm. One advantage about the new model is that it is a wis ible writer. The agent who came on from New Haven to deliver and set up the machine told the town clerk that it is probably only the third one of this new model sent out from the factory. With up-to- date appliances to do the work and equally up-to date assist ants to operate the said appliances, the records of the Norwich town clerk s office compare with credit to any in the country, he has been told by those who have visited other cities and seen the way records are kept.
