sary of its organisation. last evening.
in llcd Mon's‘lisli with a baoduet which
was 'One' of the most» elaborate ever
given inlbltth Norwallt. Though cov~
ers had been laid for many more. the
clemency of the weather kept a num-
er of people from being present. and
there were only eighty-nine in stand-
ance. The hall has been handsomely
decorated for the occasion with white
and yellow bunting. The tables. which
were prilttily decorated with cut [low-
ora, were set in the shape of a. gigan~
tic letter E. .Over the centre of the
table was suspended a mammoth Jap-
anese umbrella, from which were hung
small Japanese lantern each of watch
contained an electric ht. A large
American flag was suspended at the
rear of the hall. and on it was a large
banner with" the. inscription:

‘ The Reorg‘inlsatlon Committee met
l the Dire‘etorb' Room of The South
orwalk Trust Company on Wedheat
day attarnoon. o'l‘he members were
cheered bys. op‘rhmunicstion from The
Jennings Club pledging 850 for the
Maintenance Fund during the year. A
second communication of in silt was
from s youg man rather cuts a of our
district. who expressed his interest in
the movement and desired to contri-
Ibute by taking a '5 membership. The
hour was given to very serious consid-
eration of the present situation. The
Committee has from the first taken the
public into its confidence and frankly
advised the people of both difficulties
and encouragements met at each step
of progress. Upon two fundamental
points the Committee has been fixed
in its determination, vls.:
First. That'thc Association. to be
successful. must be an institution do-
manded and supported by the people at
large and not by a few. After the
distressing and disastrous experiences
of past years, no one advocates at-
tempting to carry on the work unless
tllre money is fully pledged by the poo
p c. .
Second. Nor has the Committee felt
called upon to take tip an individual
canvass and exert personal influence in
securing subscriptions. it feels that
be entire “.000 required could be
"squeeieu out." of our people it. this
way, but that this course wornd be fatal
to a long continued prosperity. Res.
sons have been clearly given. practical
ways and means pmpaed. offers of per-
sonal service for wise and successful
management secured, and then the
whole matter frankly submitted to tho
public. Two thousand. five hundred
subscription blanks have reached as
'many voters by mail. and yet altar ten
days' consideration the Committee is
chagrined to find that only 58 pledges
have been returned to the treasurer.
and these promise I und of but, 81.-

pledge of $860 annually for live years

Securing One to Keep an
Waters Open During the
Winter Season
' There is a movement on foot amonl
the different oyster companiss'and coal
dealers of the ports along the Connec-
ticut shore to build an ice breaking
host. an that waters width are naviga-
ble during the summer months may‘ue
kept so in the winter. it is belived
that' there would be many merchants
and steamboat companies who would
be willing to subscribe heavily toward
the building of such a boat, and if an.-
llcisut funds could not be raised by
private subscription, that the aid of
the state might be invoked at the next
session of the legislature. and an ap-
propriation made as a nucleus of such
a scheme. SeveraLmlllionsot dollars
have been lost in this state during the
past few months because of the ice
bound condition of all of its harbors.
Only the largest and attlutest of boats
could be taken through the Ice. and
even many of them were severely dam-
aged by having to buclt the lee. tWo or
tnree feet thick in some places. At.
times there was only a single naviga-
ble track through the Sound and even
the big steamers were badly delayed
by this unusual state of affairs.
The principal loss, however, lies on
the oyster dealers, whoae plants are
located at different points along the
Connecticut shore. and upon the mer-
chants who deal in freighta shipped by
water.
The loss to these concerns has been
up in the millions. according to the
estimate placed by a well-known ship
owner. and it would be a very good
investment for them if an toe-breaking
boat were constructed which could keep
the rivers and harbors of the Connec-
ticut shores open during the winter.
Almost all the. rivers are unnavlgabla
during one or two months of the win-
ter. This entails a very heavy loss.
which has been felt particularly this
mun.
it is estimated that the oyster deals
ers in South Norwalk alone are the
losers by over "5.000, by. being unable
to secure oysters. owing to the fact
that the channels were. blocked with
ice. That mount of money would
build-in immukIM1Mat1ud1mdsp
rain it for qttltan time. . .
The coal dealers in Norwalk were
also heavy losers by the fact that the
river was completely frozen over and
unnavigsble for several months this
season. The South Norwallt coal deai~
era were badly inconvenienced. but at
the same time far better off than those
in Norwsilt. .1 . .
A conservative estimate of the cost
to the Radel Oyster Company through
steamers which were pm. but of com-
mission by the ice is 810.000. and it is
currently reported that the Northpon
Oyster Company lost sales amounting
to 830.000.
The Norwailt Steamboat Company
lost 820 per day for every day that
from going to Norwallr. as it was nec-
essary to cart all the freight from the
whsrves here to the Norwalk wbsrves.
A loss of several thousand dollars was
sustained through the sinking of the
steamer Eagle. and they lost a num-
the ice in the channel here.
It is probable thatsomstlme soon ac-
tive steps will be'tslten toward form a
an association or company for the r-
pose of building an ice breaker w ich
may be used in the different harbors
and rivers along thaConnectlco‘t shore.
Such a boat would advato Connecticut
dollars annually.
