BLEACHERY BRINGS BIGGEST
 COAL BARGE TO NORWICH

A barge of 1,45O tons of soft coal brought here to be unloaded for the Unit ed States Finishing Co, has broken the river record for big barges coming to Norwich.
 This is the barge Henry Hooper, 200 feet long, and claimed to be the first of its size that ever came up to Norwich where the usual limit is 1000 ton barge. The big barge is discharging its cargo at the Chappell Co. dock, from which the coal is carted in auto trucks to the bleachery.
 Few barges of this size 6raw less than IA feet, but as the Henry Hooper draws 13 feet it was decided to bring the boat here in view of the railroad situation, in- stead of discharging at Allyn's Point, as is usually done Had the barge been brought to Allyn's Point, the railroad would give no assurance that the coal would not be confiscated for their use, so that the bleacfery officials arranged with the Chappell eompanp to bring the boat here and have the coal company unload the cargo into the trucks for the bleach cry.
 The bleachery had seven or eight auto trucks engaged for the job Wednesday and Thursday but operations came to a halt when the fall in the tide left the barge hard aground at the bow so that the boat could not be moved to bring the hatches under the unloading run ways.
 It is expected it will be necessary to get tug here from New London to pull the barge off before it can be- unloaded
