The next piecs Of work that he in- tended to take up was the West Main street improvement and he has been preparing for this by getting into shape the streets that be will use for 3 detouf when the West Main street work is under way. These are High and Summit streets and Geer avenue, which will make a detouf to the Thanesville section, while autoists going to New London will probably go round by way of West Main street and the fair grounds and Trading Cove.
 Another division of the street work that has been brought to a halt is that requiring the use of tarvia. An order for 10000 gallons of this was put in in June. but none of that has been delivered. Now the city has been allotted 25.000 gallons, which includes the 19,oo0, and would be a normal supply, if it could be secured, but the work has to wait in the absence of the tarvia. The street commissioner nas been able to pay some attention to some bad spots on Broadway hill and around the Little Pains by bor- 1 rowing few barrels of tarvia from the Shore Line Electric Railway com pany, but there is much other work that he cannot get any material for Because he was unable to get any bricks to repair break in the vitri- | fled brick pavement in Main street opposite the Mohegan company store he put in a concrete patch there this week, considering it would be better to have. the repairs made that way than to wait an indefinite time fol brick.
 An auto truck, which was made from a converted pleasure car and if said to have made record for break. ing down while in use under the for. mer street department administration broke down again last week and has been juRked.

INVESTIGATING PEAT BED
 IN CITY OF NORWICH.
Fuel Administrator Jensen Reports to
 State Fuel Administration.

The state fuel administration has received word from Local Fuel Ad- ministrator Martin E. Jensen of Nor Wich that a peat bed of at least five acres and probably as much as eight feet deep has been discovered within the Norwich city limits. Local Admin istrator Jensen is at present maki9G inquiries in an attempt to find what machinery is necessary in the manu facture of peat. He has written to State Forester W. o. Filley at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station for advice and has made the discovery known to the state fuel ad- ministration.
 MT. Jensen said last night that he had nothing to say about the reported peat bed and that it was premature to rasise any expectations of it's value or availability. It had only been reported to him day or two ago and he knew that the surface peat was of little value for fuel. The question was whether the lower strata were worth enough to put in the machinery that would be needed to get out the peat and put it up into shape for commer- cial use.
 He would not say where the reported bed of peat was in the city.
 One possible location that was sug gested through other quarters was the Lucas property along West Main street near East Great Plain. After the Civil war the peat industry throve in Connecticut and peat plants | existed in Rockville, Coventry, Meri- l den and Ellington. The high plice o1 coal made peat saleable for time but when coal dropped to s6 ton the public could no longer be persuaded | to use it.
 It now seems possible that many ot
 the twelve odd peat plants that | thrived in Connecticut during the late
 eos and early 7O's may be opened 2ol
 business again to meet a coal situa. tion that has not been equalled here
 since the Civil war. Peat will by nc
 means take the place of coal, but il
 will burn, and that is about all that
 you can expect these days. Peat takes
 up more room than coal sfor tht
 amount of heat that can be extracted from it. It is also somewhat clums! l to handle It is cut into convenien
 lengths like stovewood and burns very much in the manner of camel coal.

STREET DEPT. HAVING ITS TROUBLES
Will Need From to $400o to Put Stone Crsher Into Operation-50 Horse Power Electric Motor Ordered Delayed Deliveries of Tarva and Crushed Stone Halt Street Work

Because of the withdrawal of con- pressed air power which had been furnished by the Norwich Compressed Air company Ehkch has now gone out Of business, thk Street departments stone crushing plant on Roath street has been practically abandoned since the rniddN of the month, and the prospects seem to be that 1t will be useless for five or six weeks more. It is probable also that It will be neces- sary to spend from S3,000 to s4.000 to get it into running order by supplying new power and because of other condi- tions at the plant.
 Street Commissioner James P. Fox said on Tuesday that a new 50 horse power electric motor had just been ordered and will be installed as soon as it is received, but with the uncer-
 tainty of freight shipments there is no knowing when that will be. Some sort of building will have to be erected in which to house the motor. Efforts to tide over the emergency have been made by ordering crushed stone from New Haven dealers, but here again the delays in freight deliv-
 cries have operated and none of the
 stone ordered has been delivered, al- though immediate deliveries was promised by the agents at the time the
 orders were given. One carload of
 stone was ordered last Friday and
 others were ordered before that. but ] none has arrived.
 This lapse in the supply of crushed stone has come at a particularly awk- I ward time, as there was much work ahead for the street department which called for the use of stone. One ot those pieces of work was the improve I ne hA oi ckt 0r which work has. gone along, but it can not be completed now, although witf \ what stone there is on hand Street Commissioner Fox expects to be able
 to finish the street as far as Forest l street.
