Notification has been given former Congressrnan Bryan F. Mahan of New London that the war department board of engineers for rivers and harbors does not approve of the survey to pro vide a 20-foot channel in the Thames river from New London to Norwich. A period of 30 days Is allowed for the presentation of further statements and arguments bearing on the matter, and all parties interested are urged to communicate with the above board.
 The notification from the board or engineers follows and is self f-explana- tory:
 The river and harbor act approved March 4, 1915, contained provision for a preliminary examination of Thames river, Connecticut, with a view of pro viding a 20-foot channel between New London harbor and the city of Nor wich The required examination has been made by the district officer and his report thereon Is favorable to the extent of recommending a survey and further investigation. looking toward an increase in channel dimensions be- tween AlIyn's Point and the city of Norwich.
 In accordance with law, the report has been referred to the board of en- gineers for rivers and harbors for con sideration and recommendation. From the information presented, the board is not convinced of the advisabiltty of the United States undertaking any ad- ditional improvement at this locality for the reason that the probable cost of the work involved would be exceS- sive when compared with the benefits to general commerce and navigation

DEER WAS LANDED

BOAT RACE AUTOS
 FILLED BROADWAY
AutochemicaI Was Near Collision Answering Fire Call -Line of Autos Along Each Curb.

blaze in an awning over one Of the windows of J. B. Shannon's of flee, corner of Market and Commerce streets, was quickly extinguished by Chemical Go. No. 1 about o'clock Friday evening. A telephone call to the department brought Chemical Co. No. 1, from the Main street station and the auto chemical and hook and ladder truck from the Central sta ton to the scene in quick time. Chem teal No. 1 was the first on the scene and the flames were eXtinguished with chemical. The awning was folded up and it is the opinion of Chief H. l.. Stanton that the fire was caused by a cigarette butt dropped from a window on the upper floor.
 The congested condition of lower Broadway greatly hindered the auto chemical in making the run and twice the machine narrowly escaped collid- ing with cars drawn up alongside the curb and in addition to this it met two automobiles coming from the op- posite direction. Lower Broadway is about the narrowest street in the bus mess section and in the opinion of Chief Stanton should only be used as a one way street, a plan that has worked admirably in other cities. With 8 line of autos drawn up on both sides of the street there $ barely room for one machine to pass down the centre and no room at all for two machines to pass each other.
 The congestion Friday evening was so great that the aerial ladder truck was sent down Bath street, to Frank lin street and the square, and thence up Main street, this making a detouT by which the company lost several minutes. A minute or two lost by the firemen responding to an alarm often makes a big difference as fires some times gain tremendous headway in a very short space of time and may thus result in the sacrifice of human lives with nobody to blame but the careless automobile drivers.
 A count at g.: 30 o'clock Friday eve ming showed that there were just 24 large touring cars drawn up along side the curbing on lower Broadway from St. Mary's hall down to the cor ner of Main street. 13 on one side and Il on the other. One car was drawn up directly in front of a, fire dydrant This is another difficulty with which the firemen have to cope. It is said that in other cities of the state the matter of blocking streets and hy- drants has been taken up by the au- thorities and there is fine for of lenders.
 The thought of self protection should prompt the auto owners to park their machines in more suitable places than congested streets fsr ir the event of fire in the immediate vicinity, their machines would very likely be damaged with water, if not by fire, for the fremen would not be able to wait for Q, score or more ot machines to move out of range of thei1 hose lines.
 Chief Stanton says that the con- gestion of lower Broadway Friday night was not entirely caused by boat race day. as the blocked condi- ton of the street is becoming a, night ly occurrence. The chief says there is plenty of room on Union square, where autos may be banked and the public sould keep in mind the fact that fire apparatus has the right of way.

Parking Privilege Was a Boon to
 Farmer Near Finish Line.

Never in the history of the Yale Harvard races was such a display of automobiles as seen on Friday.
 Particularly was this the case on the west side of the river near the finish line, where a solid line of machines threaded their way down the narrow country road to obtain parking places in the fields near by. It was reported that one farmer who charged $1 per machine for the parking privilege counted up $1,000 in his receipts for the day.
 Besides this. there were hundreds of machines in other places, and one au- tomobile man estimated that probably every quarter mille near the finish rep resented about s1,00O,000 worth of ma chimes.
 They came from all the nearby states and one machine with a Utah registr0 ton number was noticed.
 When the race was over, the. Mont vile road both north and south from Jerome corner was filled with miles of automobiles driving homeword.
