A hearing to consider the ways of providing better transportation to the state agricultural college at Storrs was held by the Eastern Connecticut Development committee in the rooms of the Norwich Business Mems association Friday afternoon. Presi- dent Robert ". Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway company and
 John McOraw, southern division superintendent for the Central Yer mont railroad, were present. The rail- road men told the meeting that it would be largely a matter of finances, whether transportation service was provided by either trolley or rail road line and that neither had any money to build with. Superintendent GeCraw said that there was no ques- tion but that the college needed more transportation facilities if it were to grow. By the Eagleville way there would be but 2. 4 miles of track to build. He spoke of the storage battery car which might be operated. It could bS run safely at high speed and by connection with Central Vermont trains might meet the passenger demand. He said he was not present to make any proposition. President Perkins of the Shore Line road said there was not much encouragement that the road could be profitably operated. Just how to raise the money would be the problem. It wOuld cost not less than $20O, 900 for the eight miles of the Mansfield route, and counting equipment and power house and no way had been shown even to pay the interest on $2OO, 900.
 Two ways of providing transportation to the college at Storrs were chiefly discussed, one by a spur track from the Central Vermont line at Eagle. ville, and the other by a trolley line from Willimantic through Mansfield Center. President O. L. Beach of the college said that there are from 80 to 40 families resident in the community and presumably 400 to 500 people, including the student body, who want a chance to get better communication with the outside world. Besides passenger traffic there would be freight to be considered. There is annually about 5000 tons of freight brought in by way of Eagleville, which costs $1.26 per ton. There were several speakers who advocated the trolley route as it would serve the public better than the Eagleville ~ At meeting of the committee Agter the hearing had been closed itwM voted to bring this matter of the transpoftmtion facilities for Storrs be- fore the annual meeting of the State 8asiness Men's association In Water
 6@y in October and ask for their support. O. J. Isbister was appointed Q committee of one to get estimates OSshS cost of 8 storage battery car 1@ tMS Sfaying of rails in connection with the route by way of Mansfield. The next meeting of the committee is to be held in Willimantic on Got. g.

Derr, Of Pierre, took three rigs and
made trip to the reservoir and dam
site OF the Angostura Irrigation Project
at the Narrows on the Cheyenne River,
south Of Cascade.
On account Of the muddy condition
Of the roads slow time was made with
the teams and dinner was taken by
some Of the party at the Fred Noeren-
berg ranch, and others lunched at the
site. After dinner the Nsrrows we're
visited. This is the proposed dam site
and Mr.. Newell after looking over the
location and part Of the reservoir site
indicated his satisfaction with II. From
the Narrows the party went east short
distance where 1t was possible to gain Q
view of the Valley and some Of the
land to be irrigated. Owing to the
limited time Mr.. Newell had for this
trip, machines were telephoned for and
met the party at Cascade 90 that he
might take the evening train for Den.
yer. Il L. his intention however to
visit this project again probably in
July.
Regarding this project, Mr.. Newell
stated that It wasn't one Of the very
best nor was tone Of the poorest. The
dam site was fair and the reservoir site
exceptionally fine. At present there
are no funds available for the govern
msnt to take up this proposition but
should the Newland's bill 90 thru or
the government take favorable action
on some Of Secretary Lanes recommen.
dations, without q doubt this project
would be among the first to be consi-
dered.
It is expected that boring will be
made at the dam site to ascertain the
depth to bedrock. Below is Riven

project.
