New Year Celebrations Brighten Danbury Night
Danbury welcomed 1916 with a loud display at Strat-Meld as the town toasted the year. Midnight lights flashed 1916 across the dining room while audiences sang and danced, with Frank Cantwell overseeing hotel arrangements. The Coast Artillery and Naval Reserve kept open houses, and Traviata played at Theaters with Mrs Agnes McNamara and Miss Catherine Lane performing. Corsage bouquets by Coshin Reck and Son closed the event.

New Auto Markers Yellow and Black Issued by State
The Secretary of State has issued and begun mailing new automobile markers to applicants. Many markers appear on cars in Bridgeport with yellow letters and year on one side and Conn. on the other. The design is less prominent than before to avoid conflicts with neighboring states. The Hart office can mail markers more efficiently this year but applicants have a limited window to apply and display the new signs. Secretary Daniels announced wage scales for Navy yards in 1915. Nearby, a group from Atlantic Highlands NJ faced a grand jury for trespassing on government property at Fort Hancock during Christmas activities.
