The trolley service on the Norwich-Wester- ly and Ashaway and Westerly roads was not seriously impaired, but the Pawcatuck Valley road was completely tied up. The Groton-Stonington road was able to do business only between Groton and Mystic. All along the line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad tele- graph poles and wires were down, and v Sunday afternoon trains were run- ning about two hours late, and with- out the aid of telegraph and telephone service. This primeval condition ne- cessitated unusual care and delays as a precaution to safety. Betwen New London and Westerly considerable damage was done to the wire service, the wires being entangled for the grater part of the distance. Between Midway and Poquonnoc ten poles were blown completely down, ¥ verge of falling. Just east of Mystic eight poles were down, and for a long ile others are on a slant and on the | | extending through Westerly as a part of the system, has been concluded for the winter, and the several surveying parties atiched to the United States engineers’ office at Newport have re- turned from these special labors.

Milkman Found Plenty of Snow. Adelbert Geer, the milkman, whose farm is on the Scotland road, faced a hard proposition when he started out for his route in Taftville Sunday morning at 7 o'clock, as may be judg- ed from the fact that he did mot ar- rive in the village until after noon. For much of the way from the Scof land road to the Canterbury turnpike he had to dig his way through and at one point the road was so drifted with snow that he tore down a wall and came through a lot. The country roads in many places are reported drifted. The heavy wind and the weight of the clinging snow were the cause of crippled telephone service, and many wires were down, At the bridge beyond the velvet mill all but five wires were reported down, three poles were down on Hunters avenue, besides many single wires about the village.

According to Slade’s Vermont Pa- pers, which form the chief official ree- ord of the early history of Vermont it was customary when Vermont first set up a government for herself to en- act laws for one year only—sort of try them on the dog as it were. In those days the legislature met every year. and sometimes held brief sessions in different parts of the state twice in a vear. Unless a law proved satisfac- tory enough so that it were re-enacted the second year it passed out of ex- istence. The plan had many advant- ages along with some apparent faults. 1t would often be impossible to judge of the merits of any far reaching meas- ure in one or two years, but were the period made long enough for a fair test it might help in kéeping the state law book down to a_reasonable size.—Ben- nington Banner. said the head of the firm, “T want to give you a pointer.” “Ves. sir,” the office boy respectfully replied. “If I hear you humming any more popular songs around here Tl discharge you.” “All right, I won't do it no more.
