of him is of q man who left while still

Mr.. Burgess was a sociablc, friend
~ man, full of the milk of human
kindness. In his quiet way he was in
the ranks of every good movement
and was ready and willing day or
night to perform those kindly minis

ness or death. He was ready to sit
up with the sick, maintain the sole

that would serve or comfort others.
Mr.. Burgess died a rich man, of
money and goods he left no for

and without the enmity of a single
soul.
Such n life Of comradeship, good

BENNETT SAYS HEAVY
 TRUCKS HURT HIGHWAYS

Highway Conrnissioner Charles J. Bennett stated Sunday that he had' been forced to take special measures to prevent the destruction of gravel and macadam roads throughout the state by trucks. He said that no truck should contain load weighing more than five tons which would, with the weight of the trucks make ten tons for the roads to sustain without be- ing damaged to such an extent as to make them unfit for trafic.
 The commissioner has arranged with Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel to have traffic on highways watched for trucks having a load of greater weight than five tons. The inspectors of the motor vehicle de- partment Will cooperate to prevent
 trucks having load of such weight as to tear up the roads. from using the highways that have not surface of improved pavement.
 Commissioner Bennett said the de- struction of the highways by trucks
 was causing his department serious trouble and their unreasonable use must be stopped. He referred partic- ularly to the road between New Ha- ven and Saybrook, between Hartford and WiIlimantie and between Hart 1 ford and Saybrook, which are broker | in places to such an extent as to rem l der them impossible.

NORWICH IS ISLAND IN
 DAYLIGHT SAVING SEA

For a week at least it looks as if Norwich would be an island in the sea of daylight saving in this section.
 On the south, New London went on to the daylight saving plan by moving it's clocks forward an hour at 2 o'clock north Putnam is adopting the daylight saving plan. Norwich apparently will not be able to take any action until the common council meeting next Monday evening, when a committee is to make a report. It is understood this will be in favor of daylight saving. The situation presents some anus ing complications in travelling to or from daylight saving territory into one that is on sun time.
 If you want to get to New London, start from here two hours before the time you want to arrive there. Figure l it out. And if you are coming back | from New London you will arrive in l Norwich at the same clock time as you leave New London. Figure that 1 out, too.
 On the return trip from New London it will be possible for a man with a good fast automobile to arrive in Nor wich at least half an hour before he
 left New London. That's another good
 one to figure out

NEW WATER PIPE IN
 WEST THAMES STREET

The Norwich water department is to begin this (Monday) morning the work of laying new water pipes in West Thames street from Shipping street southerly to a point beyond the city line near the paper mill, which will greatly improve the paper mill supply of water and likewise give the tuberculosis sanaterium bet ter water supply.
 President Walter W. Lang is to have about 1000 feet of 12-ineh pipe laid, doing the work now so that it will all be finished by the time the street department is ready to go ahead with laying the cement con crete highway from Shipping street to the city line. This Is soon to be started by Street Commissioner James P. Fox.
 At the present time there is a G. inch pipe from Shipping street ts the sanatorium with result that when the paper mill is drawing heavily on the water through the day, the sana- torium can get very little water. Run- ming the 12-inch pipe as far as the pa per mill will give it more water and at the same time give enough Sd that the sanatoripm will net be cut of a; it is now.
