AUToMo6ILIsTS COMPLAIN
 OVER CONDITION OF ROAD.
Some Norwich Drivers Abandoned Trips Because of Closing of New London Street.

The mile of concrete road ben which the state highway department is con- struction in Williams street near the college site, at New London, will un- doubtedly be a big improvement but in the making it is causing considera- ble inconvnience to automobilists and drivers of other vehicles. Because of the closing of the street, those travel ing from New London to Montville and Norwich and vice versa are compelled to make a detour via Hohegan and Benham avenues. At the Junction of these streets there is a experimentation of boulders that are not only a un- isance but dangerous as we'll to traf- fee
 Some automobilists who were ac- customed to make daily trips between New London and Norwich have prac- tically abandoned them because of the condition of the road which they must travel.
 Mayor Murphy of this city has made complaint to State Highway Com missioner Bennett regarding the road Alderman Miner, chairman of the New London street committee. says that the point in question is beyond the confines of his city and within the territory of Waterford.
 The expense of making the highway safe would be small and 1t is desirable that the matter be attended to at once.

FAST BUILDING OF
 GRoToN LONG POINT COTTAGE,
Erected in Three Weeks-compIetin
 Venetian Harhor.

} Considerable building is going on at Groton Long Point, some interesting features being connected with one cottage in particular. This is the big eight room cottage built by George Hewitt of Montville for l.. H. Sherwood of Hartford This cottaee was erect ed, painted two coats, modern plumb ing installed. water and electric lights put in, several bay windows built and the family moved in. all in three weeks time. It Is consideraed at the Point that this record deserves the prize.
 The work on the Venetian harbor will be completed in about three weeks and the bridge structure will then be commenced. The harbor is well filled with boats of many kinds, several big yachts having been in this week. To a stranger this does not ap- pear odd. It is only those who know the little marsh, filled with water weeds. from which this handsome harbor has been made, who can ap- rreciate the amount of work and money spent on it and to them it ap- pears almost incredible that such a change could have been effected.

Give to thought. At all events John
Ellington, the philosopher who makes
the air ring in the vicinity of 126 Fourth
street with the "clang of the forge"
is the inventor of very clever device
which fans the fire and the fireman by
the same operation. The shop has
two bellows, one to be operated by
hahd and the other by electricity. BY
means of pipes the blacksmith con-
nee ted the two so they could be used
together if required. One day whep
the thermometer was soaring skywaro8
he discovered that some air was esca-.

ceeded to utilize. He soldered piece
of ''elbow" pipe to the point of leak
age and when the cur1 eat is on, the.
effect is cooling indeed.
