A petition. which it is said is se- curing a number of signatures in the parts of the town affected is in active circulation at the present time to be presented before the legislature in favor of the proposed bill separating the city and town of Norwich. What would be made the town of Norwich, according to this bill, would be prac- tically the fourth and fifth voting dis tricts, which cover Norwich Town and Taftville respectively. Territorially this would be the larger part of the present town of Norwich.
 Those interested in the proposed separation have figured out that a town constituted with the limits sug- gested would have a tax rate of g mills.
 The southern limit of the proposed town would be the present northern line of the city, starting on Lafayette street at the corner of Williams street and running thence easterly across Oneco street to point on Washing ton street between Beech drive and the Washington street entrance to MoheganN park.

An other reason is that the consumption of pastry and other delicacies has fall en off considerably in this state during the past few months.
