APPRAISAL SATISFACT
COrbin Avenue Land Owners Offer No Objections To Price Fixed By Court

The report of the commissioners in the condemnation of land on Corbin avenue wanted by the railroad com- pany for bridge purposes allowing them $1,3S3, is satisfactory to the land owners, according to Dr. J. E. Martin. one of the parties at inter- est. The price was fixed by Judge John Coats. William J. Long and Jo- seph Buths of Hartford after hear ing the evidence in the case and view ing the land. The report was made to Judge Joseph P. Futile in superior court.
 The land in question was owned by pr. Martin, J. w. McCabe and the Franklin M. Jerome estate, represent ed by Erastus s. Hart. A. the hear ing MT. Hart made no claim for dam- ages and no award was made in his case. It is understood the railroad company originally offered $1,500 for so feet of land but when it modified the application by changing it to 60 feet only offered s1,00O. The award of the commissioners is therefore re- ceived with satisfa ction by the own- CTS.

NEW HAVEN TRIED TO
 BLOCK GRAND TRUNK
Mellen Admits Spending $5O,000
 in Publicity Campaign

New York, Dec. 2.-Charles S.. Mellen former president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, admitted on the stand today at the trial of the eleven former directors of the road that he had spent $50,O00 in New Haven money trying to prevent the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, from extending it's system to Provi- dence. He said he had used it in a publicity campaign in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the maritime provinces of Canada to show that the Grand Trunk was not acting in good faith in projecting the extension. He said he tried to make it known that the Grand Trunk could not carry out it's obligations in Canada and in Massachusetts at the same time.
 "I do not believe" he said That the Grand Trunk was sincere, and I cont think so yet.''
 New London Northern Road.
 MT. Mellen also disclosed that the New Haven directors authorized the appointment of a committee to buy stock interest in the New London Northern road to test the validity ot it's lease to the Central Vermont. The Central Vermont was a Grand Trunk subsidiary, and the proposed eXten- sion to Providence was to connect with the New London Northern at Palmer, Mass. The committee consisted or Lewis Cass Ledyard, William Rocke- feller and Charles F. Brooker de- fendant directors, appointed at meeting, April 21, 1911, of the board of directors of the New England Navigation company, which was the same as the New Haven board. At this meeting the Navigation company authorized a loan to Mellen of $375,- 900. It was out of this "contlngent fund.- that Mellen said he used $5O,- coo, '1n the collection and dissemina- tion' of information on the Grand Trunk proposition.
 "It was necessary first to get posted" and Mellen said he used some of the money in buying infor- mation in Canada as to the relations of the Grand Trunk with the govern ment. The Grand Trunk has certain obligations to carry out in connection with the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific which, he said, con- ficted with the proposition to extend it's lines in New England.
 Negotiations Failed.
 The action looking to the proposed attack on the lease of the New Lon don Northern was brought out by the 2 government after it had introduced evidence to show that negotiations for ,he purchase of the New London Northern by the New Haven had failed.
 The testimony was preliminary to proof which the government hopes to elicit that the Grand Trunk finally abandoned it's extension, thus elimi- hating the threatened competition with the New Haven.

 I wish at this time to express to the association my sincere thanks and appreciation for the faithful and efficient service given me by your head nurse, Miss Sarah Hamric1, during my long illness, and I wish to state, that if it were not for her, I would not be here to write this let. ter. Miss Hamricl< has taken care of me almost one year, and I cannot say enough for her and the two kind nurses under her. Miss Heath and Miss Feeney. During my long convalescence following an operation, Miss Hamricl1 was ever faithful, kind, painstaking and full of good cheer. The association is to be congratulat- ed for having on it's staff one who is so faithful to duty in administering comfort and aid in time of sickness and distress.
 In closing I will say that the work of your association should receive all the aid the city can give you, and some day I trust that I will be able to pay back for the kindness you have rendered me through your good nurses.
 Very truly yours,
