TWENTY PETITIONERS
FOR NORWICH BOULEVARD.
SeIectmen Are Asked to Call Special
Town Meeting Soon.

A petition with 20 signers has been
presented to the selectmen asking that
a special town meeting be called with
in reasonable time for the purpose
Of authorizing the board of selectmen
to improve the highway extending
south from Backus corner to Trading
Cove.
The petition is as follows:
We, the undersigned, taxpayers Of
the town Of Norwich. respectfully Pc
tition the honorable board of select
men to call a meeting Of the voters Of
said town for the purpose of author
izing said board to improve the high
way extending south from Backus cor
ner to Trading Cove.

John H. Ford, w. T. Lane, Edwin l.
Burnap, Frank H. Smith, Frank E.
Hyde. Edgar H. Allen, A. ]. Friswell,
W. F. Hill.
This is in line with a movement
started by the Norwich Chamber of
Commerce to construct a 21-foot boule-
ward into Norwich from Trading Cove
by way Of Backus corner. The object
is to relieve the congestion on
Thames street by making another way
Of approach to the city which will be
specially available for automobile and
other traffic coming from or going to
New London.
To construct the new road, putting
it in q boulevard condition, one that
will entfce automobile owners and
others. will cost approximately $1,000,
and make an excellent entrance into
and exit from the city on the south.
The distance to New London will thus
be increased but slightly and the i'm
provement in the road condition will
offset the increased length of distance.
It is claimed that the road can be
made without any extra appropriatin,
as the town has appropriated sufficient
money for highway development to
allow for this road construction. All
that is necessary, one authority says,
is to invest the selectmen with author
ity to expend the money, they being
tied down to expenses under $500. Any
thing over that amount calls for action
on the part of the evoters of the town.
Tho selectmen can expend anything up
to $500 on a given piece Of road, but
more than that calls for authority on
the part of the voters. There is little
doubt that a meeting will be called for
action on the matter of the petition
within a short time and that the Sc
lectmen will be given the desired au-
thority.
1t is understood that the selectmen
Of the town of Montville are willing
to put their end in shape that will COR
respond with the Norwich section The
road would be Of gravel construction,
similar to the road to Jewett City.

HERE'S NEW VIG0R FOR
OVERWORKED STOMACHS

Lee & Osgood, the popular druggists.
have been In the drug business long
enough to have their own opinion OF
the best way of selling medicines
They say the plan adopted By Mo-
ma, the great dyspepsia remedy, Is the
fatrest they have ever heard Of They
don't believe that a medicine ought to
be paid for unless IL does the user
some good And Mi-o-na is sold IN
der a positive guarantee to relieve
dyspepsia or to refund the money.
You simply leave so cents ON deposit
with Lee & Osgood and If, after you
have used the box of Mi-o-na you de-
eide that IL has done you no good,
all you have to do is to tell them 50
and they VIII return your money.
Hundreds Of people have been re-
1eTed or stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. 1t Is not
simply food digester; it is a medf-
gans into normal condition and gives
rudy. glowing. vigorous health. A
change for the better will be seen
after the first few doses Of Mi-o-Ea.
and its continued use will soon give
the power to eat anything at any time
and not suffer distress afterward.
M-o-na Is sold under q positive
guarantee to refund the money IL IL
does not cure. This Is the strongest
PROOF that can be offered as to the
merit OF the medicine.
Nothing lessons a mans success in
his WORK or woman's fa@cfuatfnR
