Norwaik and New Canaan Street
Railway
At a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors held Monday. Nov 16,1914, it
was voted that the Secretary be in.
structed to arrange all matters with
rtferonce to the renewal of the Nora
walk and New Canaan Street Raill
way charter at the next session of the
Legislature. This matter was work-
ed out and the renewal of the chars
ter was granted by the 1916 Legisla~
tare.
At this same meeting the Directors
voted that the Secretary be instruct-
ed to notify the trustees (Mr. Elis'
and Mr. Price) of the 810.3000 u-b
scription fund for the Norwaik and
New Canaan Street Railway proposi-
tion to return same to subscribers

Industrial Department.
This department is undoubtedly
one of the most important and yet.
ihe hardest one in which to get di—
rect results. When gauged from the
narrow viewpoint of the number of
new smoke stacks erected during the
year. we can only say to these critics
v. be take this view, that the indus-
trial problem is a big one and ex-
tends fsr greater than the locating ofI
a new industry.
A fairly complete industrial survey
has been made of this city and a listn
of available factory buildings and
sites' is on file at the odice. Consisa
tent. efforts are constantly being made
to locate industries by giving atten-
tion to and following up all informa-
tion which might result in bringing
walk. Attention has been given and
always will be to tile industries al-
ready located here.
i Hardly a week goes by but what like high
parties, seeking relocation and inform
stion. visit this city and are taken in
hand by the industrial committee, who
show Nor-walk and its claims for in-
dustrial purposes to "be second to no
city in New England. All possible in—
formation is freely given and the ad-
vantages of the city disarm. In
tract, no stone to left unturned to
bring about results, and it is the com-
mittee's opinion that in the can re“-
