UNITE TO DEVELOP THIS SECTION
Business Men Delegates Organize Boost Eastern Connec cut-Judge Frederick P. Latimer From New London As- sociation Placed at Head-Norwich, Wilimantc Put and DanieIson in the Movement

In the rooms of the Norwich Busi- ness Mems association in the Shannon building a meeting was held on Fri day evening of business men from this city, New London and Danielson who were called together to consider plans for work which could be included un- der the general head of the develop ment of eastern Connecticut
 It was meeting called under the auspices of the Norwich association, which had appointed a committee to work along the development idea, as has also New London and Williman- tic associations. The Putnam asso- citation sent a letter expressing will ingness to cooperate along this line, and the Dan1elSOn aShOciatlOn sent a delegation of three to represent it, but has not yet had time to name a regu- lar committee. The DanieIson men were Senator E. II. Reach. A. P.Wood- ward and s. c. Hopkins, Frederic P. Latimer was the New London repre- sentative, and the Norwich committee attending consisted of Mayor T. C. Murphy, Charles w. Pearson, John H. Barnes and Herbert R. Branche. Sec retary Henry ". Tibbits of the Nor wich Board of Trade was also pres ent
 At the opening of the meeting Mr Latimer was elected chairman, and Pearson secretary of the joint eastern Connecticut development committee WHICH IS 10 1HCluOc I6SGnldIiNeS from the Business Mems associations in the five cities and towns.
 To. MT. Latimer is given credit for the first suggestions along this line of working towards the development of eastern Connecticut, and he explained that he believed this can be of inesti- mable value. The undeveloped re- sources of eastern Connecticut for a g riculture, manufacturing and trade are sufficient to form the basis for an eventual population and wealth greater than that now possessed by the entire state. He spoke for a realization of our assets. a taking count of stock, as it were in the first place.
 If a man has an estate to develop the first thing he does is to take an account of stock. The work at hand is of the same sort. Our scattered towns and cities have made such an accounting. although not at all thor oughly enough, of their developed re- sources But they have done no such

thing for their undeVeloped assets. It is as if a man had listed and mapped the titled fields of his estate, but made no examination of the land which can De made titled and profitable.
 Eastern Connecticut needs a good complete detailed prospectus of it's available business opportunities and it seems that the different business mems committees having in hand the general object of development could take no more useful step than by pre- parlng just this needed statement this accounting and inventorying of undeVeloped business opportunity in the territory within their charge.
 John H. Barnes spoke particularly of undeVelOped agricultural opportunities and Mir. Latimer described further that he believed material should be gathered for issuing some such folder as railroads circulate about property along their lines.
 H. R. Branche spoke for tabula- ton of factory sites and mentioned water powers not now in use at the Lucas mill at POquetanuck. at Yer sailes station where paper mill was burned, two in BOzrah. and one in Oc- cum on the opposite bank of the river from the Totokett mill. lie also eX- plained for the benefit of the Daniel son delegates the proposed Versailles cutoff on the New Haven road
 It was voted to have Chairman Lati- meT arrange with President Mellen of the New Haven road for a date when the development committees might in terVieW him about the cutoff.
 Mayor MtrDhy mentioned the grow ing habit of business men from the big cities to secure farm property which they can retire to and thought this section should offer attractions in that way. He mentioned that Norwich manufacturers were alarmed over the present bill before the legislature over the pollution of waters and said that Charles L. Hubbard had told him that not a mill on the Shetucket could run if the bill should pass, and the mayor thought that even the Norwich sewage could not go into the river Mir. Lati- mer said he did not believe the bill would pass.
 Another meeting of the joint com mittees was set for } D. m. on June ( in this city. and the chatrmen of the local committees were constituted an executive committee.
