NEW NORWICH SIGN
 HOLDS SIZE RECORD
Also Fills Safety Requirements-Fas
 Work by Painters.

Requirements along the line of safe ty have been compiled with by those erecting the big sign on top of the Chapman building on Franklin square and the painting of the advertisement on it is well advanced. When the construction of the sign was first started on the roof Chief Stanton as fire marshal ordered the work stopped on the ground that the method of construction was unsafe and there would be danger from the sign to people on the sidewalk. Only coat screws were used to fasten it to the roof at that time and no particular plains were taken to see that the screws set into a good holding sur
 face. Since then the sign men have used heavier and more timbers, bolted together and also bolted to the roof so that there is no further objection to be made on the grounds of safety.
 The new sign makes a record in size for New England, and is said to be the largest in any of the New England states It is 70 feet 6 inches long by 13 feet $ inches tall The two Provi- dence men who were at work on the painting Monday and Tuesday-Harry Schwenk in charge, assisted by James Wilbur-did some speedy work with their brushes, and now expect to finish up in two days and a half what they were allowed four days to do. Seven colors are used in brining out the Gold Medal flour advertisement on the face of it. The two worlmen have several more smaller signs to do ip the city for the Providence advertiS ing concern which emplays them.

ABOUT sso,oc0 FOR
 OCEAN TERMINAL LAND.
Ten of the Eleven Tracts Needed at
 New London Already Secured.


 With one exception all the tracts recommended by the sub committee have been secured for the new ocean terminal at New London. It is expect ed that this one will be secured within 24 hours. The commission has full powers of condemnation, but 1t has found no occasion to exercise them.
 Parcels are now in the hands or the commission from the following owners: Sebastian D. Lawrence and E. Park Beckwith estate, William Il. Cone, Clara J. Swift, HaSson Hatna- way, Mary c. Richards, F. 5. Ewing, Agnes Clark, John Connors, Otis Dlm mock, Sebastian D. Lawrence and Sid ney Miner estate
 These constitute ten of the eleven parcels which the sub committee was authorized to purchase by the vote of the full commission. The whole tract includes about eight acres. Upon 1t are situated twelve houses. The consider ation named in the deeds is nominal. The total amount involved in the pur- chase of the property is understood to be in the vicinity of $90,000
 The virtual completion of the real estate transactions involved in the construction of the terminal is a most important step in the project. With the exception off the one lot referred to the site for the piers is now ready.
 
 commission followed the logical SC quence of events in the work of building the terminal The first vote was to ratify the agreement with the New London Northern and Central Vermont companies, which had all ready been done. The second was to purchase the necessary property ad- joining, which with a single exception is now attended to- The third was to advertise for bids for the construction of the substructure of the pier up to and including the flooring. This is eX- pected not to exceed $400,0 bring ing the total expenditure to approx imately half a million. which is one half the sum appropriated by the general assembly of 1911
 Advertisements will be sent out this week and it is expected that rep resentatives of numerous engineering firms will visit the office of Engineer Clarke to examine the plans and spe- cif1cations and offer estimates. The contract for the construction will be awarded at a meeting of the commis sion to be held as soon as the bids are In.
 Before snow flies the sound of ap- pliances of the pier building trade will undoubtedly fall like sweet music on the ears of many citizens who have been waiting a couple of years to hear it.

SENATOR'S VACATIONS.
3randegee and Mclean Arrange to
 Split the Time.
Especial to The Bulletin)

Washington, Sept. 3O.-As the result of an agreement between Senators Brandegee and Mclean. Senator Bran degee will take short vacation during the lull in congressional proceedings. During his absence Senator Mclean will sit on the job and later upon the return of Senator Brandegee will take a short vacation in the country.
 It now looks as if the banking and currency committee, of which Senator Mclean is a member, would continue it's hearings well into the month of October. There is a strong possibility that the currency bill will not be re- ported out of the committee at this session of congress, for it is growing more and more apparent that time will be gained rather than lost by rigid criticism and amendment of the bill before it is returned to the senate
