In the town hall Friday afternoon a special city meeting was held for the parpose of- passing upen the guestion of appropriating the -sum of $1,500 above the regular appropriation for the water department. The reason for the action s the fact that a number of people residing near the city line on West Main street had petitioned for the extension of tje water main there. The attendance at the meeting was small, there being but feurteen In all, Including two newspapermen and most of the other dezen were city and town officials. Mayer D, P. Dunn called the meet- ing te order at 2.10 o'clock and City Clerk A. C. Scripture read the warn- ing. Corperation Counsel W. A. King then Introduced a resolution appropri- ating the sum of $1,500 for the water department. There was a little dis- cussion upon the resolution. Mayer Dunn said he believed tpat it was a good thing from a finaneial standpeint as the water department was the only thing in the city on a paying basis. Some present doubted whether mon- ey could be collected from the resi- dents of Mansfield In the event Ehlt they should be furnished water. Cor- poration Counsel King stated that he would look into the matter carefully and sumbit report to the board of aldermen. A few thought that the main should be extended only to Dr. J. L. Sulltvan's property, The resolu- tion when put to a vote, however, was adopted, although but a few voted with no one voting in opposition.

It was reported about the street Fri- day afternoon that a weaver was work. ing on North street. This was not welcome to the strikers from the Windham silk company, as it was as- sumed that someone was “scabbing” the job, as the only place on Norih | sireet where weavers are usually em- | ployed is at the plant of the Windham | Silk company. An investigation was quietly made with the result that a weaver was found to have been work- ing on North street, all right, Friday afternoon, but the weaver proved to be only a horse attached to a delivery wagon. Some of the silk weavers, it is sald, are now looking for the practi- cal joker who endeavored to throw a scare into their camp. OBITUARY, Miss Elizabeth O'Brien.

The following statement relative to the schools of Putnam was given out ‘'riday afternoon by Senator George A. Hammond, member of the town school committee: The town of Putnam has always dealt liberally with her schools. Be- fore I adopted Putnam as my home 34 years ago this month, my inspection of the town covered these points, A good, substantial, up to date—for those days—high school bullding, and, as [ have repeatedly said, was a brave thing & for the voters to have provided —which appealed te me more then anything else to accept Putnam as a residence. Next the church buildings with good memberships, and lastly the rallroad facilities, I have been hon- ored with membership on the town school committee for nearly 30 years, called the school board for years, with only six members, after practically a deadlock came in the organizing of the committee 1 caused the number increased to nine and so remains. I was also active in the adoption of the town system instead of the anti- quated district way of managing the schools, which all will agree has work- | ed beneficially. 1 was also chalrman of the committee for over ten years, and feel qualified to speak “kindly bul firmly” regarding the management of our schools all these years. Commencing with the first brick fres high school building to date, it is patent that Putnam has been liberal in the maintenance of her schools.

As the salaries of the principals is the crux of the whole thing, I can safely assure parents and guardians in Putnam, Thompson and Pomfret, that the intent of the committee {8 to main tain an efficient corps of teachers and | the popularity. of our high school and { grammar school, in short, all our | schools.
