Honor Recommended for Miss Ruth Sanderson by Mt. Holyoke College. Miss Ruth Sanderson, daughter of Charles Sanderson of Moosup, and a graduate of Killingly High school, class of 1900, has been recommended by the faculty’ of Mt. Holyoke college to re- ceive a scholarship at Bryn Mawr. The unusual feature of the matter is that Miss Sanderson receives the scholar- ship three years after her grad- uation from Mt. Holyoke, when she made an excellent record; in fact, her work was classed as exceptional. Miss ‘Sanderson entered Killingly High school_when only 11 years of age, and comgleted her course here at such an early age that she was obliged to walt one yvear before she was permitted to enter Mt. Holyoke. Her remarkable abilities as a student have enabled her to continue to achleve marked honors, and she will enter Bryn Mawr with a flattering rating. January Directresses.

Joy, chief of the fire depart- ment, filed his annual report with the city clerk, who presented it at the meeting of the common council day evening. Among the recommends tions contained in the report Chief Joy says: “I think the fire committes should take the matter of new fire hose under consideration and provide a more suitable place for keeping nowe, as I am informed by hose manufac- turing companies that no matter how good the hose purchased, if it is not properly stored it will soon rot. “There should be some way devised to keep the hose, when not in use, away from the heat of the different fires in department headquarters. The city has on hand 1,000 feet of new hose purchased in 1908; the other hos while apparently good and I trust it is in good ccndition, cannot be relied unc. to any extent at the rate it has burst at the last few iires and I do not wish to be held responsiblesfor consequer.ces should a conflagration break out and suitable hose is not on hand to pro- tect the property of the taxpayers. I think it would be money well invested to provide a_proper place for keeping the hose, and I earnestly request that you give this matter your early con- slderation,” The chief also reviews the fire lozs, which was made especially heavy thi year by the destruction of the mill the Pine Tree Worsted company. of He points out th: fact that because of the delay in turning in the alarm that night the fire gained such headway as to pass beyond cortrol. The chief pays a high tribute to the effciency of the local fire departm-nt. which rates with the best volunteer departments in the state. Street Commiseioner’s Report.
