 The military discipline, the never ending tasks and the grim business always in mind most, sometimes make the absent one wonder If 1t is true and if he is still human.

NEW CREDIT BOOK,

Chamber of Commerce Plans to Re-
wise Ratings for Merchants.
The credit committee appointed by
Chairman w. A. House of the mer-
camille bureau of the Chamber Of
Commerce met yesterday afternoon to
discuss with Jonathan Smith of the
Conn. Credit Bureau the ACCESSIBILITY of
getting out a new credit rating book
for New Britain. The committee con-
sisting of George l.. Damon, D. Nc
MILAN, George Ashley, Frank J.
Porter and w. A. House decided that
it was imperative that a new book be
brought out at once and that they
would recommend to the mercantile
directors that authority be given at
once to proceed with this work.
The plan will very likely make it
possible for the chamber members to
secure this credit rating book at a
reduced price. Action on the matter
is looked for at an early date.

three or four years and during that
time administered the duties of the
office faithfully. He explained today
that pressure of private business was
his reason for resigning.
Mr.. Sicily, the new chairman, has
been member Of the board for a
year and is now serving his second

Joys the confidence and friendship of
the public and the members OF the
fire department, and it is expected
the wisdom of his promotion will be
reflected in the manner in which he
manages his new office.
