New Haven society holds an affair all who are able will attend. And the main portion of the program is a magicians' show for magicians only when the barn of the Fred Clark farm becomes as theater on Broadway and the expert mani- pulators of illusions play to their most critical audience, the frater- nifty.
 Strange Symbols
 So, should you see streamerS on which appear strange symbols and emblems along the Bethany road Friday, you will know that the New Haven Magic society is in session somewhere along the roads leading from the main highway. And mo- torists should take care lest they lose their original sense of direction and, coming to @ large barn not far from the farm lane, enter a world where illusion is real and the ordinary hum drum of life merely backdrop.

 For the first time in history of the annual outings, always held on the third Friday of July, the dean of American magicians, Frederi c k Eugene Powell, will be absent. Dean Powell, as he was known for nearly half a century to thousands of ma gicians, died last February. Tribute will be paid to his memory at the outing.
 One of the oldest organizations of magicians in the world, the New Haven Magic society counts among it's members many illusionists and performers who have appeared be- fore royalty, whose acts have con- tributed to entertaipment and be- wilderment of many hundreds of thousands of persons in audiences all over the world.

Estimates On Savings Offered As Argument
Dredging of New Haven arbOr for Shipping Facilities fO Benefit Waterbury Concerns Hearing Arranged

Lieutenant Colonel Bragdon covers the following points:
 Improvements
 Extent or the improvement de. sired; necessity for such improve ment; details of present navigation and commerce; the draft of vessels now using the existing channel or waterway; specific savings or other material benefits which could be effected by the improvement, and data on prospective tonnage and money value of each commodity that would be handled; type and draft of vessels which would prob ably use the improved waterway; and new traffic which would result from the improvement.
 It is announced in the notice that oral statements will be heard, but for accuracy of record all important facts and arguments should be sub mitted in writing.
 Two terminal projects are con- templated at the present time, MT. Taylor reported, and when 8 S0- foot channel is provided to accom- modate all intercoastal, coastwise and foreign ships. there will be ade- quate storage, wharfage and rail facilities available.
 New Haven, as the center of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad system. with the sec- ond largest freight classification yards in the country, is considered an ideal distributing point for the state and Western Massachusetts, MT. Taylor pointed out. He said that mileage charts have been prepared showing the proximity of the New Haven Harbor to the greater num- ber of communities in Connecticut, as compared with distances from Boston, New York and other ports of present shipment. Surveys of freight and rail rates to these ports from the various communities, as compared with rates to New Haven, have also been prepared, together with an indication of the savings to be realized, savings which would be passed on to the general public.
 Regular Port
 It is reported that numerous steamship firms have evidenced an interest in the proposed harbor de- velopment and indications are that some will make this regular port of call in the future. The present har- bor channel has a depth of 25 feet at mean low water which is insuf- ficient to accommodate the larger boats. Many ships now using the harbor have to wait for the tide, a condition causing delay and de- murrage.
 MT. Taylor reports that data sup porting the claim for deeper har- bor channel, together with estimates on savings, have already been re- ceived from a large number of com panies in the following conmuni- ties:
 Ansonia, Bristol, Derby, East Hart ford, Hartford. Meriden, Naugatuck, New Britain, New Haven, Plantsville, Seymour. Shelton, Torrington. Wa terbury, West Haven and Winsted, Conn: Dorchester, Holyoke and Springfield, Mass.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-07-13

Estimates on prospective tonnage which could be routed through the New Haven Harbor if a 30-foot channel were provided, and savings thereby effected, are being sent in to the New Haven Chamber of Commerce by manufacturers, mer- chants and wholesalers throughout the state and Western Massachu- sets for presentation at the War Department tearing on the develop ment of the New Haven Harbor, which will be held in the chambers auditorium, 152 Temple street, New Haven, next Tuesday, (July l9, at 200 p. m.
 Arnold R. Taylor, chairman of the New Haven Harbor development committee reported this morning that already estimates of savings have passed the $200, 900 mark and indications are that the total amount presented at the hearing will be many times this amount.
 Report Reviewed
 The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors was authorized to review the report on the New Haven Harbor by resolution Of the House Committee on Rivers and liar bors adopted May 12. Colonel E. L. Daley, division engineer of the North Atlantic Division, is in charge of the preparation of the report, and Lieu- tenant Colonel John s. Bragdon, dis trict engineer at Providence, R. l., the field investigation.
 All firms are requested to submit statements concerning the benefits they would derive from increased facilities at the New Haven Harbor prior to the hearing, MT. Taylor stated, in order that all material may be assimilated and a compre- hensive report prepared.
 However, all are urged to be preS- ent at the hearing, he pointed out, 50 that the army engineers may be made to realize the need for harbor developmnt and the widespread area which would be affected.
 A special representative of the New Haven Chamber is visiting var ious communities in the state this week to explain the proposed deyel- opment to those business men con- sidered most likely to benefit.
 The information desired by the War Department, as stated in the notice of public hearing issued by
