The company also has written a substantial amount of new business, as shown by an increase of 26.6 per cent for all lines written in the state by the company.

Immick, president of The Immick Company, Meriden, was re- gently appointed to the board, the members of which are leading Con- necticut business men who now in sure with the company and who are consulted and give counsel about its general affairs and espe- cially those problems of particular interest to Connecticut employers The meeting was attended by the following members of the Connec- ticut board: J.

Time Changes! Frank H. Contrell Re- calls Half Century Ago When Temper ature Registered d Be- low Zero.

It was almost 18 years to the day Saturday morning that John J. Lynch had come to work at the county courthouse, taken his place at the elevator and given judges, lawyers and litigants, too, ride up to, first stop, the super for court, states attorneys of1ce, superior court clerks office; sec- ond stop, court of common pleas, library, stenographers' offices.
 But MT. Lynch was not on duty Saturday. It was to have been his last day and folks at the county courthouse really expected that he would be there so that they might see him once again.
 You see, MT. Lynch is not as young as some. It was for that reason. according to County Commissioner Jacob Walter, that he was given notice last week that he no longer had job.
 And Saturday, MT. Lynch was sick at his home up east, corner of East Main and Cherry streets. His wife had ben sick for some time before that, too.
 It all derived from the new oil burners installed at the county court house. Timothy Carney. en- gineer of the building, found he had no job when they took out the steam boilers. And Commission CT Walter remarked that the county courthouse might have a younger man to run te elevahtor.
 No pensions are provided. But, the commissioner said, that pos sibly might be arranged after the general assembly meets ir 1889. It was done once before But the employees had to wait for more than year before the pensions were voted.
 Meanwhile. employees at the county courthouse are wondering about MT. Lynch and his affairs and 1899.
