CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 10 REORGAN|zE

which the public is educated to know the purpose of the new chamber. This is done by various means, newspaper pub licity, posters, circular letters, and other means to bring the matter before the public The second step is the intensive campaign, lasting one or two weeks when members are solicited at an annual dues of $25. After the campaign comes the installation work in which the new mem bers are taught what real chamber or commerce is like. This is, done in va rious ways The bureau sees that every thing is going fine and then comes the continued service which fills out the three years
 The cost of this reorganization work is done on 8 percentage basis The American City Bureau stipulates in the contract that they shall be. paid 25 per cent of the income in dues in excess of the present. income, for two years. This means that if the present income should be s3.000 per year and the bu- reau gets 500 members at $25 per mem Der making an annual income of S15,ooo, the bureau would deduct the $S,000 and take as it's payment 25 per cent. of the remaining $12,000 or <S3,00o per year for two years. Of course the local or ganization is to stand the ice expenses of conducting the campaign.
 After a discussion by several of the members sof the chamber the matter of employing the City Bureau was put te vote with the result that there were Is votes for the employing of the bureau tc 3 against.
 The local chamber of commerce also went on record as heartily endorsing the stand taken by Mayor Herbert NJ, Leror and the common council regarding the regulation of the jitney traffic.
 John J. McAuliffe was voted in as 2 member of the chamber. The meeting adjourned at 1e.45 o'clock.

Within a few weeks the Norwich Chamber of Commerce will undergo a period of reorganiza tion in an effort to make that organization a more powerful factor in the community for the benefit of the community. This was decided up- on after a lengthy discussion by Mir. Stoddard a representative of the Amer ican City Bureau of New York, who ex- Iained the plan of his organization tq come to Norwich and make the local Chamber of Commerce a live and ener- getic organization, at an open meeting held W&nesday evening in, the hall. Of the Gif7s Community Center.
 President Charles F. Wells presided at the meeting and spoke of the need of more vim and pep in an organization of the nature of the. Chamber of Commerce. He said that with the problems that confront the community today the local chamber as it now stands is not ade- quatqe to meet these problems. With a membership of less than 400 and an over head expense of $4,600 per year. s6 per member in dues does not pay the ex- penses-
 pr. Joseph H. Selden also spoke of the need of a new chamber which could handle the problems of the community in a general and non-partisan way. We want an organization filed with enthu- siasm and every member boosting for the community.
 Mir. Wells introduced MT. Stoddard, who told of what the American City Bureau had done for other cities along the lines of recognizing chambers of commerce in the. country. The City Bu- reau will come to Norwich, inaugurate campaign for membership and remain with the chamber for a period of three years to get it on it's feet.
 This work. said Mir. Stoddard, is di- i vided into four groups. first an educa- tional period of three or four weeks, ir

CONNECTICUT MAY GAIN
 ONE MORE CONGRESSMAN

The announcement of the approximate population of Connecticut under the 1920 census, as 1,343, 900, with the ac- companying report that the state will, if the apportionnent rate is not changed, have an additional congressman-six in all-has aroused much comment, espec- tally where politicians are wont to gath CT. Congressman Augustine Lonergan, now in his home town of Hartford, could not be induced to discuss the represen- tation question at length, but, in a brief
 interview Tuesday, he indicated to a Hartford reporter his belief that the membership of congress will be in creased. rather than decreased, in which event Connecticut will gain a member of the national house of representatives.
 Tn my opinion the question $ ore of mere speculation" said MT. Lonergan.
 Guided by the past, representation, with about one exception, has been in creased when additional population war ranted. On different occasions I have heard the subject discussed by older members of congress, who were of the opinion that the body is unwieldy now, because of it's large membership and bills have been introduced providing for the reduction of the membership to 225.
 Tt is probably safer to say, however, that there will be an increase under the new census, rather than a decrease"
 Connecticut will, of course, elect only five congressman next fall, the increase to six coming, if it comes. with the cleo ton of 1922. It will be possible for the Connecticut legislature of 1921, in case it is necessary to provide for the elec- ton of six congressman, to divide the state into half a dozen districts but it is within the possibilities and perhaps pro- bable that, for time, there will be no change in district lines, but that the state will continue to elect five con- gressmen by districts and will choose a congressman-at-lar on the state tick ct, the candidates for congressman-at large being voted for by the whole state, as is the case with the cs~. .lidates for United States senator.

s1, ,ooO. 900 A YEAR TO PROTECT
 FORESTS FROM FIRES

New London, N H., Aug. 25.-Expen- diture of s1,0o0,000 a year for the pro- lection of American forests against the S30, ,000, ,06o a year fire loss was advocated here today by Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry asso- citation, in addressing conference Of foresters, timberland owners. paper pulp men and lumbermen. He also urged a S2,ao0. 900 a year appropriation for the acquisition of forest land by the govern ment for the purpose of growing timber to replace our rapidly disappearing sup plies"
 Mir. Pack spoke before the meeting of the Society for the Protection Of New Hampshire Forests.
 "Our mature forests are not only being wiped out by destructive conhagrations as well as by numerous small fires, but those fires also prevent the natural re- torestation of hundreds of thousands of acres of cut-over land" he said. Our direct loss in timber by these fires is s5o, 900 900 a year Altogether there are s15, 900 ,0o0 acres of state and privately owned forest land in the protection of At present half of this vast area is wholly unprotected and protection for the other half is entirely inadequate. Legis- lation authorizing the government to spend s1 1,00O 900 annually in cooperation with the states for fire protection is inn uiediately essential
 There should be immediate completion of the original program for the protection of watersheds of navigable streams by spending S2.00O GOO a year in acquiring 100000 acres in New England, 5.6eo,eo0 acres in the southern Appa1achains and forest lands in the principal forest re- gions.
 Speaking for the American Forestry association. I can say without reserve that the association is heartily in favor of the prompt enactment of legislation along these lines"
