That the trade schools of this state

IMPRESS BIG STEAMERS
INTO COAL CARRYING

During the past six months Il has been
common sight to see four and five
masted schooners bringing IN coal at
Belle Dock. New Haven, from HAMPTON
Roads, Norfolk, Va. This has been dis
tributed to all points In western Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, and at AIlyn's
Point and New London for eastern Con-
necticut and central Massachusetts,
These four and fve-masted schooners
were an innovation. By working very
closely with the New Haven railroad
company 1t was found that larger ad-
vantages accrued in handling other
types of boats, and large ocean going
barges were substituted, making dis
charging much easier and more econom-
ical.
As the coal strike situation is becom-
Ing more acute, and the demand for
coal so heavy, one firm has found 1t
necessary to substitute still larger yes
sells and they are now arranging to op-
crate steamers from Hampton Roads to
Belle Dock. These steamers. too, are
an innovation and 1t will give the con-
sumers along the lines of the New Ha-
ven road a more comfortable feeling
The first steamer will load on May
22and should be due at New Haven about
May "a or rs, and that vessel will be
| followed at regular inervals with other
| steamers. There will also be very large
| type schooners, four and f1ve-masters
and large ocean going barges, so thai
| the Belle Dock at New Haven will have
a scene Of activity In coal as it has
never seen before.

PARK BOARD ASKS USUAL
APPROPRIATION OF Is nj

evening as follows:
In compliance with a city ordinance
the board OF park commissioners presents
it's sixteenth annual report, which fol-
lows:
The general work done in the park last
year was quite satisfactory The usual
attention was paid to the roads anu maths
and several loads Of cinders We're pls ed
on the driveway between the duck POND
and pheasant runs. Repairs have been
made to the duck yard fence, the fence
around the deer park and I" all set
\ tees which had become broken. Two
culverts were rebuilt and stone walls re-
paired. The Campfire Girls were insCru-
mental in having built on out door oven
for the purpose OF cooking food. and
| picnickers will find this oven great con-
venience.
1t is to be regretted that. during the
past season, the water supplied from the
well in the grove failed to produce
a quality Of water suitable for drinking
purposes. A careful effort will be made
to locate good water, and It is hope.
that sufficient supply can be obtained
for general use.
It is hoped that several deer can be
procured to be added to the number nov
there, so that more creditable show
ing of deer can be made. The number
Of other animals at the park Us some
what larger than two years ago and MAJ
be added to from time to time.
Proper policing Of the park at all nee
essary times is most important matter
The public is entitled to enjoy u,
park and all the legitimate pleasures
that It affords, without fear OF expert
encing improper conduct on the part o
anyone. II is earnestly hoped by IN
members of this board-that sufficient In
terest and cooperation will be given b.
the police commissioners 30 that a bet
| ter moral condition may be established
We courteously solicit the aid OF the 20
lice department and Of the administrator
: to this end which is in the interest o
civic welfare.
In order to provide for the genera
work, care OF buildings and fire insur
ance, food for the animals, salary OF tn
superintendent, and for necessary an
: useful material and tools, the sum Q
five thousand dollars will be required 80
/ the coming year, and the board request
: that the said sum be named IN the q
Inmates Of the city expenses to be sui
