DECLINES TO CONFIRM REPORT
 ON BLOCK ISLAND FORTITICATIo

Navy and war department officials in Washington when questioned last week regarding reports from Block Island that engineers, after surveys, were taking op- tions on large pieces of land as the site for Notifications, refused to confirm the report
 Silence was manifested by most of the officials, while others pointed out that if the government desires to acquire land on the island it would not be necessary for it to buy the property, as it could seize it and compensate the owners if it so desired. It is said, however, that the seizure of land was not usually carried out unless difficulties stood in the way of purchasing it by ordinary methods. | While no one was found who would deny authoritatively that the government 1 has plans similar to those reported from 1 Block Island, many appeared to be of the
 opinion that if such plans were under way they would not be carried out dur ing the present period of governmental economy but would wait development later, when more generous appropria
 tions for fertilization purposes might b. l available

WHITE WAY MEANS NO TAX INCREASE

Tt should be borne in mind by the voters that the proposed White Way of 50 lights for Notwca can be installed without an additional increase in the tax rate" says statement issued Monday by the Norwich Chamber of Commerce. "On the other hand, 1T it is eliminated" continues the statement, "the tax rate will be the same. It would seem that those having the interests of the city at heart would like to see Norwich adopt a modern method of street lighting, par ticularly as we are fortunate in securing this improvement at cost prIcC."
 The appropriation for the proposed White Way is listed among the appro- priations which will :ome up for action at the city meeting this tTuesday) even ing. The White Way movement orig mated some months ago with the Cham Der of Commerce, which has worked out the plan, almost in its entirety The chamber is strongly backing the White Way, as the officers, directors and ma jority of the membership feel that such a movement Is a step in the right way.
 The statement is as follows:
 The street on avhch is is proposed to improve the illumination, by the es- tablishmentS of White Way. are now lighted by twenty-three 1000 candle power units. The contemplated change calls for tho installation of fifty 1000 candle-power units mounted on orna- mental standards and fed by under- ground wires, the currents to be 50 arr ranged that one-half of the lights will be extingulshed automatically at mid night. The single light standard Is the most approved and latest design in White Way lighting. It has been found that in the cluster method one or two of the cluster lights become impaired for one reason or another, which spells the effect sought after, namely-brilliant, abundant lighting There is also de- creased maintenance cost of the single standard, compared wit hthe cluster light standard. The increased mainten- ance cost of the proposed White Way, | figured on the same basis as the twenty three lamps, which will be supplanted ! by the fifty new lights, is figured at an l increase of sixty-one cents daily over the prevailing method. The cost is figured as follows 27 additional lamps burn ] ing annually 2,000 hours equals 5400O lamp hours. 54.0o0 multiplied by S2c watts equals 17,2S0 (!Silowatt hours al

Tho "white plague less than a generation ago
seemed an in1pIacabIe and unconquerable enemy,
carrying off thousands Of our population every year
with rapidly increasing ravage and defy1ng all
known methods of treatment or cure. Discovery
Of the baciI which caused this disease led TO knol
sdze of the means by which infection was carried
and Of ways TO asht through sanitation and build
ing up OF physical resistance in the victim.
The battle to save our people from tuberculosis
involved nation-vide campaign for education. leg

voluntary contribution provide sanitara and TO
help clean up the hIth IN which tuberculosis bred.
The vision inspiring this warfare and the or
SANITATION which was built TO push forward the
struggle brought in turn also general movement
toward sanitary customs and consideration for
cleanliness developing into national recognition
of hygiene and saving people from loss in lives
