Tllroc Hundred Delegates Gather
in. Congregational Church
in 'Middlciown
MIDDLITUWN. Ida! lib—About
three hundred delegates, rapresenting
the fortyvslx corps in the state, were
gathered in the North Congregational
church. this morning, when Mrs. las-
dors M. Glsdwin, departmental presi-
dent. ‘called to order the 26th” annual
convention of the Women's Relief
Corps, Department of Connecticut, for
a two days‘ gathering. The church
was decorated with flags. hunting and
red, white and blue streamers. Mrs.
Elisabeth H. Bevin, of East Hampton.
delivered the address of welcome, and
Miss Alice Sister, of Hartford. senior
vicopresident, responded. A pleasant
feature of the morning session was a
number of presents to Mrs. Gladwin.
On behalf of the corps of the state.
Mrs. Laura Dutton, of Waterbury, pre-
sented the department president with
a purse of money. Miss Alice Slater
presented from the staff oiliccrs a solid
gold department badge; on behalf of
the tildes of the department, Mrs. Mur.
the l. Goodonough, senior side, pre-
sented a cut glass pitcher, and tht'
members of Mansfield Corps, this city,
presented s handsome bouquet of flow-
ers.
Today's sessions were given up to
the president's annual address and
the reading of reports. The election
of officers will take place tomorrow.
in her address Mrs. Gladwiu said
that no corps had been disbanded dur-
ing the year. but that two new corps,
Samuel P. Ferris, in New Canaan. and
Elias Howe, Jr., in Bridgeport. had .
been organised. There are, she said.
still sixteen G. A. R. posts in the state
without an auxiliary, and she hoped
that "the incoming president may find
a helpmate for those bachelor posts
by inducing them to take unto 'tnelir
selvss a Women's Relief Corps." Am-
ong the recommendations offered by
the president were the following:
Th“ the per 05pm tax and the ra-
tlo of muralen'tatlon remain the same
II in formerfyears; that the stenogra-
Dher for this convention be paid $25
for her sot-vices; that one roster and
006 "Mikel. be issued during the next
administration; that Soldiers' Home
day for this year boJuns 17. and that
than. be. a 'Womsn's Relief Corps’

named by the president of the W0-
man's Relief Home rd.

tion, she said that the organisation
was increasing in numbers and influ-
ence. and that it now has twenty
camps and 720 members. an increase
during the year of one camp and 108
members. She referred to her visita-
tions during the year. and finally
thanked the officers and members for
the support they had given her admin-
istration.
The report of the department secre-
tary, Mrs. Minnie A. Croslcy, of Mid-
dletown, showed a total of 46 corps in
the state, iid 3,040 members in good
standing, a total net gain in member
ship of thirty-five.
Miss Annie Hayes, of Pine Meadow.
department treasurer, reported re-
ceipts during the year of $2,242.01. ex-
penditures of 01.530.18. leaving a bal-
ance to the general fund of $711.13.
The total assets of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps“ Home fund was given as
34,094.66. '
Mrs. Elizabeth Bevin, of East Hamp-
ton. president of the W. R. C. Home
Board. presented her report concerning
the work of the year in connection
with the home at Cromwell». in refer-
ence to the proposed removal of the
home to Noroton, she said:
“in accordance with a unanimous
vote of the W. Ii. C. Home Board. pass-
ed at a meeting held last October. two
bills relating to the W. R. C. Home
were drafted by the president of the
board, and introduced into the general
assembly. One provided for an appro-
priation of $30,000 for adltions to. the
home maintenance of its inmates and
other expenses for two fiscal years
ending September 30. 1911. The other
fcr_a nominal sum for the support of
the home during the interregnum from
January 1 1910. until the new build
ing provided for under a bill Intro-
duced by the Soldiers' Hospital Board
should be completed and ready for so
onpany. This in case the above bill
should be passed by the general as-
sembly. and approved by the governor.
This bill provided for a building at No.
roton for which an appropriation of
350.000 was asked. and for which slab-
orate plans were presented. Hearings
on these bills were held at the capitol
and the president of the W. B.
Home Board appeared and advocated
the removal of. the home to Noroton.
mainly on the score of expediency and
economy. Allm in accord with the
president of the board on this matter.
We have since been anxiously await-
ing some report from these bills. They
are still in the hands of the commit-
we. The building of additions to our
home was not advocated. The two
points for consideration by the legisla-
tive committees are whether the home
shall be removed to Norotou and a
building sufficiently ample to receive
al classes of people who are in need
of care and support be erected there.
and run in connection with the Bol-
dire's Home, or whether an appropria-
tion shall be granted for the continu-
ance of our home as- it now is."
Department inspector Annie E. A.
Richards, of New Haven, made a re-
port on the year's work. ,
During the early part of this even-
in'g the delegates will bettaken about
the pity in au mobiles, and from 8
o‘clbck to 9:80 be president and her
eta! will hold a reception in the par-
lors of the church. At 9:30 there will
be a presentation of two flags, one of
silkfrom the state department. and
the other of hunting. from the local
corps to the Middletowii High school.

Councilman Albert M. Poblman said
the noise from the bridge is most au-
noylng. especially when heavy freight
trains go by. At his barber shop, he
said, the annoyance gets on his nerves.
He had also seen but water trickle
through the bridge. and told about
chunks of coal falling from trains dsnr
gerously. He thought the bridge should
be polluted with concrete or some
other matter.
Corporation Counsel John Keogh ex~
plained that Councilman Paul. who
had introduced the resolution of com-
plaint to the railroad commissioners.
had not had the authority to hire ex-
perts for the present hearing.
Attorney 13. l. Spock. who repre-
sented the company. said the company
intends to replace the planking in the
bridge. which, he believed, would make
it tight. B '
Mr. Pohln‘ian thought the planks
would only act as a drum to increase
the noise- Mr. Pohlrnsn could not say
why the bridge was any noiser than
the general run of bridges on the
road.
Mayor Burnell told of one man who
had had his head out by a falling
piece of coal at the Wsslitlngton stmet
bridge. He also had noticed t at. hot
water trickles through the bridge. At
the Monroe street bridge hrhad had
hot water fall on him, in! said. The
mayor had also heard complaints about
trolley care not waiting for the theatre
trains,
General Float said the fundamental
cause for the noise was the layout of
the railroad. He thought an addition-
al cause for file noise. is the length of
the bridge, crossing as it does. diagon.
flllyVilm intersection of the highways.
General Frost stated that he has to
have two telephones. one in his back
ofllco having to be used with a door
losed, when a long freight train is
seeing. He did not think there was
any antagonistic attitude on the part
of the railroad and thought they
would help in stopping this detriment
to the city. He thought the experience
of the railroad commissioners was
such that they knew what to: do. and
it was not for him to tell. He had no
tired that the Hartford bridge was a
great deal quieter.
Commissioner Seymour said that the
Hartford bridge was set on posts rest-
ing on the earth, and of course differ-
ent from the long steel truss. such as
was necessary here to span the four
streets. There was of necessity a do
flection in the bridge and this would
crack any solid substance such as con-
crete. etc... and this would in time al~
low the water. oil. etc. to run through.
The concrete bridge was not substan-
tial enough to bear the weight of
heavy trains for such a long span.
General Frost coincided in this view,
but thought something could be placed
between the tics and filled in on the
principle which is used to deaden
floors in buildings. Anything that
would tend to prevent the rumbling
would be a great relief to people oc-
cupying buildings in the vicinity. Such
relief would be a great boon to the
c ty. ‘
Attorney Keogh inquired if General
Frost knew anything of conditions at
Monroe streot.
General Frost said passengers were
obliged to walk the length of the plots
forms and wait on Monroe street for
the cars. _
Attorney Keogh asked if this could
not be avoided by having the trolley
cars make a loop around the depots.
General Frost replied that it was a
great convenience. when the trolley
cars went in the station.
Railroad Commissioner bVler asked
General Frost if he knew of any place
in the state where the bridges were
similar whore sounds had been dead-
cued.
Street Commissioner Daniel llunlop
was asked by Attorney Spock if com-
plaints had been made about condl.
tions at the railroad bridge and he re
plied that he had made complaints
regarding drippings from the bridges.
He had made complaints about this to
President. Mellon and it was referred
to Vice-President John F. Stevens who
promised to have it remedied.
Cornmissioner l-‘yler asked if there
had been any trouble since, and Mr.
Dunlop replied that it was stopped to
a certain extent,
‘ John F. McMahon said the bridge
had been more or less of a nuisance,
and an unnecessary one. Our city
officials had called attention to rail-
road company. and it had been reme-
died io some extent. but there were
others. One condition was due to the
trolley tracks, switches being there,
and cars being stopped to take on pas
sengers.
Attorney Spock objected to the
C. bringing of street conditions into the
hearing. but Mr. McMahon continued
that the bridge was the noisiest ho
had ever known. He had repeatedly
been confronted with the condition
that while talking with a resident be
was obliged to stop while trains went
by. Both the rail pad and citizens
could have found it better plan. He
thought the railroad "people should
take the matter into consideration.
Formerly the trolley service was car-
ried to the depot. but this was discon-
tinued. and a loop made to Monroe
street. This was not. protected by a
shed or signal, as it was impossible
to see the car from the depots if one
were there. The service is not what
it should be. and not favorable to the
company. Managers of trolley com-
pany, at present. not serving the pub-
lic as it. should do. This could be hot-
tered by a loop around the depots as
is done in Stamford.
Attorney Spock asked “the thought
it. was necessary to provide a waiting
station, and askedif stations were
provided by other places for patrons
of the trolley. and Mr. McMahon re<
plied that in Hartford the cars were
and in New Haven the distance was
about forty feet. The shed collected
all the dirt and refuse and was a nui-
sance to everyone. . ‘
Chief of Police Vollmsr said drip-
ping had been in existence ever since
the bridge was built. and much coni-
.plslnt had been made. particularly by
former Street. Commissioner Samuel

horsstod in the welfare of the city.
A. H. Byington complained that tan
dies and others who go to depots had
to carry baby in one arm ands grip
in another rig the incline to tbs do
pots, and he ellevod It a hardship to
passengers to reach the trains. Hal
said the railroad owns the land. sud
could not see why the cars could not,
he run to the stations. He complained
of conditions at the Norwslk railroad
station and said that there were no
railings on the sides of the stairway,
nearly 100 feet long. to reach the plat-
form, and be cited an instance where
a woman and child nearly fell down the
entire flight of stairs.
Attorney Spock asked: “Do you find
conditions like this in Grand Central
Station. New York?"
Mr. Byington: “Yes, we have to
fight your niggera off to prevent them
from taking children and grips from
us. and things are altogether differ-
ent there. i have given thein' some
small tips, 'and they seemed very
grateful."
C. Swurts said he owned property
near the bridge and he had called at.
tentlon of the street commissioner and
the chief of police regarding water
dripping there, and be had made a
note 0 them. Conditions were fuel
the same, hot and cold water, coll.
etc. come down as formerly, though
perhaps not as frequently. The whisti.
ing nuisance had to some extent been
abated. Formerly there was a good
trolley service to the station, but this
had been changed. and now it was he-
cessary to stand in the storms and
hot son. He knew of no statute un-
der which the commissioners could be
ordered to do this. llo believed the
roadbed of the bridge could be dead-
oned. as it is in New York city.
Former Senator Donovan did not
think he could add anything to what
had been said. Everything said was,
true regarding noise, coal slid hinders.
"You know. gentlemen, this state gets
little from the railroad company in re-
ducod fares, accommodations. etc. The
road should do its business with us lit
tie noise. fatalities. and dirt as other
roads. The commissioners certainly
did a humane act in ordering the clos-
ed trolley veatibuies. The tank for
watering trains had never ought to
have been allowed. as it was erected
without any permit from the city. An-
other place could be provided where
trains could get water without stopping
in the center of the city and blow off
steam, heavy black smoke, etc. We
ought to have the same conveniences
that other states have. it is almost
impossible to get anything through the
legislature. Your powers are cnor
moss. and it is in your province to
remedy these things. No one can do
as much for the place as you can. You
have the power. ability and you will
be obeyed. That water tank ought to
be moved one mile below. It would
not be necessary to have a public util-
ities commission if the railroad com-
missioners would do t"vi~ (41'1"

Attorney Spock road a letter from
Superintendent Word in which Mr.
Connor thanked him for the attention
be ad given to his appeal for aid.
A torney Keogh stated that to save
time he would submit the names of
Fire Chief Harold F. Clark. Nelson
Dickcrman and Matthew Corbett, who
would give corroborative testimony.
and the commissioners consented to
entering the names as being present
and testifying.
Water Commissioner Stephen 8,.
Match was called and told of condi-
tions at Marshall street. where he
came near being injured recently, and
started to tell of matters at the freight
yard, but Atorney Smelt interposed
an objection, as be claimed that matter
was not in the complaint, and Mr.
Hatch was excused. ‘
Attorney James '1‘. llubbeil. repre-
senting the Norwalk Business Men's
Association, said the people uptown
knew something about the bridge con
ditions, ‘but their particular grievance
was about the trolley service. There
were no facilities to make people coni-
fortable. He told of delays waiting
for cars. and thought if a loop or spur
track could be provided the trouble
would be obviated. The station up-
town had been rebuilt, and the service
improved, and be thought the patron-
age had been increased.
Attorney Spock said the company
proposed to put in a new floor, look
after the aprons. and tighten the was
tor tank. The company is renewing
the flooring. aprons and ties at the
Monroe street bridge. Mr. Ellsworth,
the company's engineer. said it was
trot feasible to stop the noise by floor-
ng. ' - '
Mr. Keogh objected to the introduc~
tion of any expert testimony. cg the
city was not prepared to do so. here
fins no one in the city who was an arc
pert on bridges. and it might be no-
cessary to go outside or even to some
other state to secure one.
Attorney Spock said when a case
was brought into court, he was ready
to proceed with the case and the other
side should have witnesses to do the
same. It was not feasible to put a
greater load on the bridge than it car-
ries at present.
Chairman Seymour saw no objection
to having the city got an engineer
and go over the bridge with Mr. Ells-
worth, and see what was needed. and
perhaps come to some agreement and

be said he had no recollection last
summer of engines taking water con-
tinuously from the pipes in the city.
Attorney Keogh suggested the rc-
inoval of the water plugs to some other
section. but. Mr. Woodward said this
was not possible. as the tracks had to
spread to accommodate the standplpes,
and would not do elsewhere for order-
gency purposes. Mr. Woodmsrd said
no water got from the standpipes to
the street.
Attorney Keogh then presented his
side of the case, and went in detail
over the various complaints against
the company. The city of South Nor.
walk, he said, had always given the
railroad and trolley company every-
thing they had asked for, and he re-
membered that last summer. when the
drought was on. train after train had
taken water at the staiidpipes in South
Norwalk. when the troughs at Roway;
ton were dry. The citizens had suf-
fered from cinders, coal. oil. water.
etc. dropping through the bridges;
also lack of trolley facilities at Mon‘
roe street, and now believed that there
should be some remedy for these: ills.
He knew of other places where there ‘
was less noise than on the bridge at
Wafliingiou street, and he thought
something could be used to deaden
the sound. and he believed the stand-
pipes could be moved to some other
place. and not be located In the heart
of the city. The city would supply
the water anywhere the railroad com-
pany wanted it located.
