drilled his second test on the Louis
Higginbotham farm In the Gordon
sand and developed a fair gasser.
The first we'll on this farm was COM
pleted last spring and was a gusher,
the largest of the year. 1t was
thought at that TIME that a new pro!
life extension to the old Pltzer pool
had been discovered. Since then
dry holes and gas wells have been
completed in every side of the big
producer and what was regarded as
the best prospect for new production
proved a disappointment. To the
northwest Of this well B. w. Bart

completed more than two months
ago, Is still holding up at 265 bar

farm was drilled into the Big Injun

not as yet been drilled to the thirty
foot formation. s.s f-

Committee to Confer With Fire Com

Pioneer Hose Co. NO. held a meet
ing Wednesday evening in the head
quarters lin School street, Groton,
where the members talked over mat
ters concerning the good of the COM
pany. Six new members were added
and a check for $25 was received
from Messrs. Allyn, Baker and Cone
for the good work done at the recent
fire in their building on the corner OF
Mitchell street and Poquonoc road. A
letter of appreciation accompanied the
check.
A committee composed Of the off,
GERS of the company, G. r. Hemp
stead, Will Harris. Youngs Morgan,
Herbert P. White, H. A. Edgcomb and
NJ. NJ Baker, was appointed to confer
with the fire commissioners of the Dor
ougt and ascertain exactly what can
be done about securing better and
more powerful equipment. The reels
are too light and when loaded with
hose it is almost impossible to get up
the hills. It is only through the gen.
erosity Of the automobile owners that
it is possible to get to fires.
The company is showing SO much
interest and activity that it is thought
now is a good time to prepare for the
much needed chemical engine and as
a large sum. it is understood, has been
recently offered by one of the young
business men of lower Thames street,
to start things, there is every proba-
bility of putting through a satisfac-
tory arrangement. The next meeting,
that of Jan. 8, will be the annual
meeting with election of officers and q
big time is planned. AT present there
are 62- members and a roll call viii

Science has fully proved that catarrh

benefit and often drive the disease

the lungs.

NEW LoNpoN's MAYOR
HELD OPEN HOUSE

Municipal Building.

Mayor Ernest E. Rogers of New
London may well experience thrill
of pride at the notable demonstration
Of loyalty and friendship which was
rendered him by residents of New
London and adjacent places at his
residence, "a Granite street, Tuesday
evening on the occasion OF his 50th
birthday anniversary. Hundreds of
men and women Iii all walks of life
went to the house to pay their respects
and extend their best wishes for many
more years of happiness ard pros
perity.
Mayor and Mrs. Rogers had an
nounced they would keep open house
the wish that as many as possible
might be present. No formal invita-
tons were issued, and none were need
ed, for the response to the public no.
| tice was large and spontaneous.
Every room on the lower Goor was
| a veritajble floral bower. Magnificent
| bouquets of the rarest and most beau
itifuI roses, the gifts of admirins
| friends, were at every hand. Tt is
| doubtful if a more attractive display
| of the kind has ever been seen in that
| city.
There was a delightful air of infor-
| nnality about the whole affair. Mayor
| and Mrs. Rogers received alone in the
! par1or, exchanging cordial greetings
| with the long procession of friends
| who passed by them. Acting as ushers
| were Alderman Henry C. Chappell

WHAT STATE HAS
-...... DONE FOR BELGIANs
Booklet Issued Tells of connecticuts
Part in the Relief Work.

A fifteen page booklet entitled Bel
GUM, Connectfcut's Part. has been
issued showing what this state has
done for the relief of the Belgian peo-
pie. The booklet says.
Connecticut's population Is over a
million. Her wealth is beyond that
Of most states of the Union. Her total
contribution to Belgium for relief in
two years has been six cents person.
We now ask that this average be rails
rest Of the country. We hope that it
will go much higher. Our first ap-
peal was made when Connecticut's in
dIlStries were on the verge of ruin and
many of her people were in want. In
her present prosperity, due at least
in part to the war which it is ground
Belgium to the dust, can the response
be less?
History is valuable only as a guide
and Measure for the future. We are
asking the confidence of the good peo-
pie Of this state and are appealing to
hooves US to tell what we have done,
to give an account of our stewardship
Upon the first news Of the occupa-
ton of Belgium, a remarkable wave
of practical sympathy swept the Unit
ed States, and in an astonishingly
short time concerted effort began. Per-
haps the pioneer and certainly one of
the most efficient agencies was the
New York Belgian Relief fund, organ
lied by Belgian and American philan-
thropists in New York city. Within a
few days after It had issued its call
through the newspapers. local organi-
cations sprang up in several Connect
cut cities and towns. and for the most
most part affiliated themselves with
| this fund. Notable among these were
Willimantic, which raised $1,000, Wa
| terbury $4,000 and Hartford and vicin-
| ity about $4,000 It is estimated from
New York sources that about 81, 00t
additional was contributed from va
rious parts of Connecticut prior to the
establishment of these local funds.
At the organization meeting plans
for a campaign were formulated on a
basis Of conditional subscriptions
out, under President Ba1dwin's sigma
ture, to limited list. The response
| was s19,417.11. Later in the spring, a
second and more general appeal, made
| through printed circulars, yielded 3d.
| 517.04, thus producing a total of $780,

Il is expected that the Thames
street widening will be commenced
this week and that the work will con-
tinue throughout the winter months.
The laying of the new pavement viii
be started after the widening IS COM
pleted. The first work to be accom-
plished will be the blowing out OF the
ledge alongside the trolley tracks. The
ledge will be prepared this week and
the drilling will probably be started
some time next week. There is con-
siderable ledge to be removed as 1t
runs quite close to the trolley tracks
and this work will occupy some time.
As has been previously stated the
widening Of the street has made it
necessary for the city to purchase
several of the houses which it is i'm
possible to move back and which have
not enough land in front to allow for
the additional width in the street.
These will be torn down by the city
and it has been suggested that the

the new city barn.
The widening of Thames street was
voted at a special city meeting on the
night of Oct 20 at a cost not to ex-
ceed $4,000 and is to be carried out
under the direction OF the court of
common council. 1t provides for a
seven foot increase in the width of
the roadway from curb to curb At
present the width between curbs is 20
feet and the new width will be 81 feet
There will also he six foot sidewalks
whereas there is six foot walk on
the easterly side and a walk averag-
ing five feet on the westerly side. The
widening is to be carried out on the
westerly side of the street and will ex-
tend from Thames square to High
street.
Several teams and force of men
were employed on Thames street on
Thursday excavating around the ledge,
as the first step towards preparing it
for drilling, preparatory to blasting.
