plant would be self sustaining and the
district would never be asked for a
tent. no increase in taxation. nothing
but tho authority to borrow 825.500.

Reference was made in an illustrat-
ctl article which appeared in last
Sunday‘s Hartford (Bout-ant to the old
(iorham tide mill at Noroton. which '...
said to he one of the. few mills or“.
ated by the action of the tides. of
which there were once many in oper-
ation along the Shore. which is still
standing. The article was prepared
by G. E. Richter of this town, and
described a similar mill at Fairfleld.
which is believed to be only tide mill
in the State which is still in daily
operation, although even there flour
is no longer ground. the mill being
principally used to crack corn and
other feeds.

pared for cold weather, by an enclos-

Mr.Thompson investigated this pro

conclusions at which he arrives are
wholesome. and his literary style
