New London Looking to Assessors
To Pave Way For Increased Revenue By Advancing Vaua ton on Property That Equalization Should Have Been Resorted to-Harbor Shows Winter Cold as Any in Past Half Century-Liquor Dealers Stop Busi- ness on Mondays.

was brought into New London harbor in 1856 or 1857, anchored opposite Fort Trumbull. and that people walk ed to and from that vessel on the ice. There are many men nere and hereabouts who can rememper when the United States frigate Sabine was anchored for many months off State street and well over towards the Gro- ton shore. During the winter that ship was in port in the earlier years of the Civil war, some of J,e Soys. who are the men of today, did walk on the ice from New London to that old ship. But since then there has been no walking on the ice from shore to shore in New London harbor In fact at no time since then has there been so much lce in the harbor as at the present tin ?. All of which goes to show that the present winter has been as cold as any other winter in the last half century, if the ice made in the harbor is any criterion.
 Before that period. just how Iona the depeneth knoWeth not, but it
 was before the Norwich line boats
 made New London terminal instead of
 Allyns Point, and when the New York
 line of propellers made landing at the
 foot of Hallam street, the harbor was
 pretty well frozen over, except the
 laneway made by the boats, the Os- ceola and the J. N. Harris. At that
 time there was sleighing on parts of New London harvor. some more ven turous than others. took the chance and did drive from Winthrops Point to within a short distance of the -Groton shore. It may be that the winters of that DeriOr were no colder than thp present, or perhaps not as cold, and that the harbor traffic of that time by steamboats was not to be compared with the volume of traffic Of today and 1 that the harbor did not have the time
 to freeze over by reason of the pass ing and repassing of steamboats. It is possible that the present winter is not as cold as the old-fashioped kind we
 hear so much about. but it will be diff i ficuit to convince the oldest inhabitant | to the contrary.

All the grain grown In Great Brit.

at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern.
ment at a price that allows the adul-

to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf

cents.
