The house was located almost on the boundary line between the towns of Montville and Waterford.
 The fire broke out shortly after 10 o. clock. just after the family had retired. The flames ga~d headway very rapidly and within a short time the entire resi- dence was a mass of flames.
 A cali for assistance was sent by tele- phone to the New London fire depart ment and two of the auto companies were despatched to the fire. The fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to save the residence and the bremen turned their attention 10 the barn which was threatened.

How to Finance Reorganized Chamber of Commerce cotMEEeE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE

How will the Norwich Chamber or Commerce be financed?
 By membership dues of $25 a year, pledged for three years.
 This is the meth1< which has been adopted and is being followed by all of the successful civic-commercial organ izations in America. It is a method which has come out of years of experiments and experience. It has not yet been abandoned, or modified by any commer- cia1 club or chamber of commerce which has tested it and no single instance of failure has been charged up against it.
 It is a perfectly sound financial plan, combining all the good features of pre- vious methods SSd .elimina ting their bad ones. In former times some organiza- tions experimented, with graduated dues, charging the.&ig corporations some times $2,000 and letting in the small storekeepers for S2.
 The want Of wisdom in this method | is apparent The few corporations which contributed the bulk of the income natur- 1 ally dominated it's affairs. The members who contributed little to the income gave | little to the Chamber of Commerce, either the background if they did not actually keep away.
 l Another often tried and now discred- ited plan was that of uniform dues of i $'5 or $1O fixed at this low rate on the
 theory that more members would join
 In Clean, N. T., with dues at S1 year
 the Chamber of Commerce was able tc
 secure about 100 members. The due:
 were raised to s25 and within six months
 the membership had increased to nor
 than 500 interested, active men and wo
 men, and in a year they had done som
 things the city had been wanting to d
 for 10 years.
