lions could expect the approval of the

mind, Vit'eva‘eaident Storrs at a meet,
ing with the committee representlu.
the conductors and motormen on Wed-

to have arbitration papers prepared
at once if the committee so desired.
The general belief is that the meal
will not be manoeuvred info declining
arbitration and thereby taking the re.

dispute that would greatly inconvenl?
ence the public and bring heavy loss
to the business men of theclty. ';
In view of this, it is expected that.“
within a few hours arbitration plans
will be under discussion but it is also
well known that the men will demand
that the plans be along clearly defined
lines before they will accept. ;

Judging from the fact
that the commissioner now has some
$3,000,000 to expend for roads, where
in the first part of his work he had
but $75,000. it is easily ‘nofed that
the work has increased, and yet Com-
missioner Mucdonald says that his up
propriation is now totally inadequate.
“i have great difficulty to getting all
, the towns. of which more are one hun-
died and sixty Height satisfied." re,
marked the commissioner.
The speaker claimed Connecticut to
be unique. Unique in that the state
river to one man the complete con-
trol of the distribution of so large. a

'I'hr state of Connecticut has the
iirucst mileage of roads per area of all

Commissioner Macdonuld promised
that he will be at work upon. the Post
Swamp road within a few days and
claimed for the highway that It is so
,aucient a plea in hia,departinent that
it really should be attended to at once
and should be lifted out of Its
slough of tleupond.
Speaking of off on the highways he
stated that he believes in the. use of

stated the speaker. “There is no
guesswork .in our department, and
there have been but one Or two ex‘
['icriliictits. these being sucessful,” he
continued.
Commissioner Mucdouuld kindly
turned the mt‘t‘llllK into what he tenn-
ed a ”question box," and invited ques-
tions about the uork.’1‘he attentions
asked were ten. but several were in
ithe point and one or two remained
to ask questions at the close of the
‘ Secretarv of the Norwalk Board of
Trade Charles H Dflworth brought 1 p

‘to explain a little about it The com-
missloner said, “I have found that it
is best to let a sleeping dog lie." and
fold but very little about the Green-
wich road itself.
lie stated. however that "until the
tscuntora and representatives begin to
uexprese dissatisfaction with the com-
missioner and his work. I will have to
ask the indulgence of the people."
Commissioner hiacdonald remarked
that the state is not rest'onslble' for
any road repair on any highway
which it. has not worked.
“i calculate to lay the best infer.
begin work on the Westport attenue
road." the commissioner explained.
the state will care for twenty-six feet.
while‘ho trolley company and the
town must share the expense of the
other nine feet of tho thirty-five foot
road
As a closing statement the highway
commissioner urged wider streets. bet-
ter sidewalks. more building lines and
room for the trees, everywhere. .
A rising vote of thanks to the com-
mlssloncr for his talk on roads and
an invitation to come and talk next
year In the same vote. was unafmous‘
ly extended.
Tree Warden Cornef'a Talk.
Warden Joseph Cornell, to whom
Padsident Price paid no small tribute
when he said: "Mr. Cornell is the
best authority and perhaps knows
more about trees than anyone in
town, and mi are therefore fortunate
to have him with us.”
Beginning by explaining to the meet
is; that he is the loudest tree warden
in the state in the point of service.
having boon in such position for the
past ten wears. idr. Cornell deliahm
the large audience for over “half an
hour with a complete discourse on our
local train, their care and their dIa~
eases, not to mention all the numerous
dfltlfi‘ammm- , “I. a. .
trace ' if
town highway that can be laid when 1'
He further informed the meeting that
The meeting then heard from True
pond guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. Lee of
particular." stated Mr. Cornell. “There
are thousands of trees in the Town of
blorwalk, dead and dying. and many
more In need of immediate attention
to prevent their death. "
Norwalk amneprlates some $200 for
the care of trees, while most of the
other cities in the state appropriate
some five, six, seven and eight times
this sum.
The fruit trees and the shade trees
alike die for the most part from non-
fertlllsatlpn; the fruit trees from lack
of attention and the shade trees along
the city streets because the moisture
is kept from them by sidewalks and
pavements.
The leaf eating insects. the tree
warden explained, are easily killed by
spraying with a solution of arsenic of
lead. The sucking insects are not so
easily killed. although their death
may be effected by coVering them with
an oily mixture which suffocates
them.
The “lady bug" and the “devil's
durning needle.” Mr. Cornell claimed
as great friends in the preservation
of the trees. the former aiding in the
extermination of scale insects and the
latter killing boring insects.
Warden Cornell urged the foresta-
tlon of our water shed and explained
the various courses that might be our-
sued;
lie explained the terrible work be
ing done by the bark disease on the
chestnut trees and how no one has as
yet discovered anything to stop the
spread of the disease.
There have. been a number of trees
in our city killed by leaky gas mains,
the warden asserted last night.
As a closing thought Tree Warden
Cornell urged the fertilization and
good care of the trees In our parks.

ished music throughout the evening
