Congress, Dr. Owens wired to each of
 the forty-eight state governors for en-
 dorsement of. the measure and fortified
 with this concert of demand the pro-
 vision passed without opposition.
 Commenting on the uses of this ma-
 terial which Connecticut has received,
 MT Ulrich says:-
 Connecticut has received from the federal government automobile trucks
 and material available for highway pur-
 poses to the value of $325,000. The
 trucks, with few exceptions are at work and the material either has been used
 or is in storage at Portland and will
 be used.
 The vital assistance given the good roads movement throughout the coun- try by this distribution of hundreds Of millions of dollars worth of excess war

 Under the heal of finance much oE 0lInOr importance has beer accomplish ed, but the great service rendered under | this head is tn federal farm loan act entire credit for which is given to the Southern Commercial Congress by Con

 Under>the subdivision of distribution, pr. Owens directed an exhaustive sur vey of the railways, waterways and highways. He wrote an amendment to the post office appropriation bill of 1915 providing for a fund to conduct experi- ments in shipping produce direct from l the farm to the consumer.

Several people have been reported 70

nre. Whoever was the frat to see II,
MT: Millett was promptly after It with 4
pail OF water, but It was too much for
that amount Of ammunition. Mr.. Millett
says II be had had an extipguisher and q
roof ladder at hand be could have dis
posed OF 1t then and there, but he did
not have the extinguisher and his roof
ladder was on the other side of the
buildings.
The blaze started In the roof valley on
the north side Of the buildings, doubt
less from spark from the chimney on
the other side of the roof. The shingles
were old, and very dry like everything
else, and by the time the alarm was
blown there was merry blaze.
The firemen were promptly on hand,
and while the water pressure was not all
that could be desired, they were able to
attack the fire at comparatively short
range. Four lines of hose were laid.
Within three minutes after the first
water was on Il was evident that the fire
would be held, and 1t was only a few
minutes later that the all out was blown.
= On account Of the dry condition of
everything, there was some nervousness
of owners of surrounding property until
the fire was under control
The damage was confined to the roof,
portion of which was considerably
burned and torn to pieces, and the wet
ting down of things in that end of the
shop.
