In all probability the new borough administration will arrange for fund- ing the floating indebtedness of the borough of Danielson. Warden Bul- lard is a believer in the advisability of such action and is of the opinion that by the means suggested the bor- ough may be enabled to borrow money at a lower rate of interest than Is now obtainable and effect thereby a saving on the amount of interest charges to be paid. Loans to'the bor- ough are now made on a five per cent. basis, If the success of other bor- oughs in Conmecticut In disposing of their bond issues can be duplicated in Danielson, this place should be able to secure all the funds it may require at four per cent, and possibly for a little less. .Mah goodness, but Ah like dat show?

C., pestoffice inspector and layer-out of rural free delivery routes, has com- pleted an investigation of the route proposed from the Danlelson office, which with some changes is the same route mapped out some time since, As considered, the route will be from the Danielson postoffice acrosg the Quine- baug bridge and along Main to South street, through South street past the ‘Winkleman farm, then west to the James O’'Brien place at the foot of Allen hill, then back to the Pines, through the Danielson-Brooklyn high- way to Day street. Returning through Day street, the route comes back over the Quinebaug bridge Into Danielson, thence via Franklin to Dyer street and south along the Wauregan road to a point opposite the Dyer dam, east through the cross road over the rail- road to the Warren school house on the Green Hollow road, south to the Theodore Hammett place and retrace to Christlan hill through the Green Hollow road. From Christian hill, east through the Old Furnace road to the Horse hill school, through the Hub- bard sawmill territory to Bitgood's corner, then through South Killingly by the old cemetery and into Dantel- son over Stearns hill and Stearns street to Main street and to the office. The total distance is 24 7-3 miles and the number of families to be servad 110. The route doeg not go within 2 1-2 miles of North Sterling, which was taken in the former proposed route, does not touch territory now Included in star routes and does not call for the discontinuing of any postoffice. Mr, Campbell was favorably impress- ed with the territory and the chances are that the route will be established. A dollar's worth of fun for 25 cents. The military minstrels made a big hit. Again tonight, town hall.—adv. MILITARY MINSTRELS Witnessed by Large and Delighted Au- dience Tues Evening. There were many spontaneous bursts of applause and many hearty laughs at the military minstrels given by the Thirteenth company, coast artillery corps, in the Town hall Tuesday eve- ning. Sam Johnson, the Willimantic minstrel man, has been coaching the cast for weeks and last evening the audience smiled audibly at the funny things said and done by the jolly en- tertainers in the amusing makeups and the general verdict was that it was the best kind of a show, Sergt Ira ‘arren was interlocutor and around the circle were Sidney Mar- land, Charles Myers, James Da; bones; Harold Smith, Henry Myers, William Ormsby, tambos; John Bailey, Albert Warren and F. W. Darmer, so- foists. The opening niumber was stvied The Coast Artillery Overture, 2 med- ley of popular songs sung by the en- tire company. Under the Chicken Tree, as sung by Sidney Marland, was given added favor by means of the “essence of old Virginniy” dance, in which_the six end men participated. Sam Johnson and A. L. Recves the two premiers made a hit with their Jingles, jokes and rhymes, which in- cluded some innocent but spicy prods of loca] interest. I'll Be Back in a Minute but T Got to Go Now, as sung by Harold Smith and introducir~ a cane dance with the six end men on, was one of the good things of the eve- ning. Sam Johnson, bone expert —ith his original imitations of shaving a man, won_generous applause. You're Just the Girl for Me, gung by Albert War- ren; You're Just the One for Me, sung by Clayton Hillard, and The slind Pig, sung by John Balley were among the real good things of the first part, which was concluded with the follow- ing Grand Army songs, the curtain ringing down on Uncle Sam shaking hands with a Grand -Army man: Fare- well, sung by F. W. Darmer; The Va- cant Chalr, sing by Farl Wood of Wauregan; _Battle Cry of Freedom, Yankee Doodle, choruses. If 1 Had a Thousand Lives, the rumber song by Master Maurice Wal- len, the Willimentic boy soprano, at the opening of the second part was glven a flattering encore. The Old Kentucky Home, or Martha Jane Green's Return from the Ladies' Sem- inary, an Ethioplan musical comedy, introducing & number of specialties, was well put on, the following taklnfl part: Harold smflh Sidney Marland, James Day, Sam Johnson, As @ con- cluding number a bl chke walk led by Sidney Marland “in rainbow” ‘and with one of the merriest of Merry Widow hats, made a big hit. $3,000 Fire Loss on Thomas Dunn’s House.

DWYER To Be Boomed by Local K. of C. for National Delegate. Circular letters will be issued to all the ocounclls of the Knights of Colum- bus in Connecticut this week endorsing the candidacy, by Cargill council of Putnam, of M. M. Dwyer for election as a delegate to the national conven- tion, which meets in Moblle, Ala., in August. Mr. Dwyer was a delegate last year, There Is a growing convic- tion among the membership throughout the state that as many as is possible of the 0ld delegation should be returned, in or der that their previous experience may be utilized in securing assessment relief for the older members in Con- necticut, & difficult proceeding _for members with experience in national conventions, and far more so to those who g0 as delegates for the first time. Coughs and Colds Attributed to Dust. Scores of cases of grip, bronchial colds, sore throats and whooping cough are making life miserable for Putnam residents. A peculiar fact in connec- tion with the cases is that many adults have contracted whooping cough. The great clouds of germ laden dust whip- ped around by the high winds of the past two weeks are held responsible for a greater part of the troubles. Delegates to Labor Meeting.

As this is to be a permanent improve- ment there seems to be little doubt but that the necessary appropriation will be made by the town. The street is in very bad condition in front of the Con- gregational church, and there is urgent necessity for having it repaired, and it is the intention of the authorities to have the town and borough work in conjunction with the trolley company in making the repairs. The buflding of the trolley road left the street in bad shape. The next article in the warn- ing for the meeting was to see if the horough would accept Converse streeet as a public street. This ls the street which runs from Center street near the new Faulkner block to West Main After oonsiderable discussion street. it was voted to accept the street, pro- vided the abutters put the street in condition satisfactory to the burgesses.
