called to a blaze in the store of f. c.
Croweu at ST Water street. Officer
McFadden could only see the ref1ec-

went to box 116 at Washington

val found that the fire had gained a
good Roadway in the rear part of the
store on the main floor. The blaze
was so great that the heat had
cracked the window, the crash OF
which had warned Officer McFadden.
The firemen soon had several
streams of water on the fire which,
if it had not been discovered as soon
as it was, might have wiped out the
buildings on the whole street. Chief
Stanton in speaking of it Sunday
night said that it had the makings of
the biggest fire Norwich had ever

work of the department the loss would
have been tremendous. After a hard
fight of forty minutes the fire was

CUTTING CHESTNUTS AND
REFRESHING IN PARK

ReforeSting work at Mohegan park
and the cutting out Of all the chest
nut trees are going on Jointly at the
present time and will keep the con-
tractor, c. M. Geisthardt, busy for
some time yet before the work is all
done. Mr.. Geisthardt is handling
both ends of the job, cutting down
and removing the chestnut trees and
replacing them with different varie-
ties of conifers, such as pines and
others, and it is the prediction of the
park commissioners that in a year or
TWO the park will be better than ever
because of the changes that are being
made.
They regret, however, the loss of
the several thousand chestnut trees
that will have been cut down by the
time the work is over, but the work
has been. forced upon them by the
chestnut blight which has spread over
Connecticut, lower ssachusetts and
Vermont.
Before the work was decided upon
the park board had both the state
forester and the assistant forester ex-
anime all the chestnut trees in the
park for signs of Wight. Their report
was that they did not find a single
tree unaffected by the blight, which
meant in the course of a short time
that every tree of this variety in the
park would be dead
The park commissioners immediat e-
" took steps to do the best thing UNI
der the circumstances and placed the
matter in the hands of the improve
ment committee of which William A.
Norton is chairman and John NJ. Lee
and NJ. E, Jensen the other members.
This committee made the contrac ct
with Mr. Geisthardt and also engaged
Qzias Dodge to represent them in the
park so as to keep a lookout that the
telling of the chestnuts and dragging
them out should be done without in
jury to the other trees and other park
property. That this plan has worked
well has been proven by visits to the
park by foresters who have comph-
rlented the park board upon the way
the work was being done.
