H. Hopkins, J. A. At- | wood, A. J. Bitgood, C. A. Tillinghast, |N. D. Prince, Senator E H. Keach, | Attorney Sabin S. Russell. It is evident that the trust company is to be organized-for the purpose of doing a general banking business. The cepital stock if the Killingly' Trust company is placed at $100,000, but business may be commenced when $50.000 has been paid in, . The stock |it is said, will probably be sold at a premium, thus creating a surplus fund | from the beginning. Nearly all of the incorporators of the new trust company are directors of the Windham County National bank. Juyst what effect the organiza- tion of the trust company will have on the future of the national bank has not yet been made evident, but it will be seen from the list of ‘incorpo- rators of the new - institution that the two institutions will be closely al- lied. At the Windham County Na- tional bank Wednesday afternoon it was said that at this time it is quite impossible to say what arrangements will be made for banking quarters for the new institution, which is expected | to be a strong competitor for the gen- eral banking business of Danielson.

BOROUGH REPORTS. | Treasurer Wilson Shows Reduction in Debt—Warden's ~ Statement — The | Year's Work of Fire Department, Li- brary, et al. 4 A statement of the financial ditlon of the borough by Borongh | Treasurer Wesley Wilson, as it will ! appear In the annual borough reports | is ms follows utstanding hotes, | April 1, 1918, $52,706; due library ap- propriation, $68.08; total $52,766.69. Less cash on hand, $1,570.50; less rent due for borough building, $72.92 less uncollected taxes, 1912, $1,744.8%: lexs uncellected on sewers, $1.373.58: total $4,761.88. Total of borough's in- debtedness April 1. 1913, $48.444.68 a decrease of debt by 343980 from the total on April 1, 1912, Commenting in his annual report on the decrease in debt, Warden W. I Bullard saye: “While this a a small decrease in our debt, it shows a turn con- ! | sight |ing this publicity ition have been gotten after and over- | bauled b | flushed often | thing | that | tive Joseph Plessis of this city, a mem- | ducting the in the ti'%c. and we should strive from now on decrease our debt each year, S0 that posterity will not have too great a burden to bear. “During the past year we have con- structed a section of sewer at a cost of $468.85, which can properly be termed an extraordinary expense; we have operated all of the departments of the borough satisfactorily, and yet 80 economically that we have been able to reduce the debt of our borough. I am particularly pleased at this reduction in the debt, and can as- sure yHu that it is due in large meas- ure to the excellent judgment shown by your borough treasurer and bur- gesses in the expenses of the borough of Danfelson.’ ‘With his annual report as chief of the fire department A. P. Woodward files a detailed list of the apparatus an dequipment owned by the borough. His report shows how exceptionally fortunate Danielson has been in the matter of losses by fire during the past year. Only nine alarms were responded to from box signals and the total loss by all the fires in twelve months was $850, an exceptionally fine record. The largest loss ($400) was to the plant of the People's Light and Power company, Mechanic and Hut- chins streets. As librarian in charge of the free li- brary, Miss Evelyn H. Curtis submits the follpwing report: “The twenty-first annual report of the Free Public library shows a gain of 376 books, fifty-one of which were the gift of the state, fifty-three the gift of Mrs, Ballard, and the rest from other interested friends. “The reading room has been sup- plied with the same magazines and newspapers as last year, and the pat- ronage of the reference room has been equal to previous years. We have given for home use about 25477 books, something less than last year. Dr. W. H, Judson's report as health officer of the borough is in part as follows: “We have had epidemic of disease. Two hold-over cases of scarlet fever from last year were cleaned up .and two new families were in guarantine for the same disease. Last April and May an epidemic of measles was averted by the co-operation of the families affiicted and the disease did not appear beyond those house: “Four nuisances were quickly abat- ed after notice was served, and one, although abated temporarily is on again and should be eradicated com- pletely; that is the old Burlingham barn on Academy street which 18 used for & dump heap covering.

A woman about 21, giving both the names of Mary Cunningham and Kate Mulaney, was released by Constable Fred Mitcheli at Central Village Wed- nesday morning, after spending the night in the lockup there. Her is a most peculiar one. At 12 o'c Tuesday night she was brought *o home of Constable Mitchell by L am Adams. The woman said she had come from Bristol, R. I. She said she had a considerable amount of money on her person and feared that she was being followeq by a man and wished to be given protection for the nisat She handed over $547 in bills to Con- stable Mitchell. She appeared sowc- what demented at the time, but he locked her up for the night. At 9.20 o'clock Wednesday morning she was released, went to the railroad s‘atin and bought a ticket for Worcester. She took the 10 o’clock train for that city, ‘but left the train a mile ur the road at the next station, Wauregan, bought a ticket for New London and took the 11.13 train for that city. Ofi- cer Mitchell does not know just wha* to make of the case. In addifion to the money in her possession she had two bankbooks on the Fifth Avenie bank of New York, carrving deposits of between $300 and $400. She is zood looking and well dressed, but acts in a very strange manner. PUTNAM | Lecislative Committes on Education Visits Town as Possible Site of Trade School — Former Putnam Heights Teacher on Probation—Evi dence of Fire Bug at Fair Grounds. close on the heels of members of the appropriations com- mittee, here last Friday, a delegation | from the committee on’ education was | in Putnam Wednesday for the purpose | of getting certain facts and knowledge | will tend to aid them in deciding | as to how renort on the bill providing | for a state appropriation of $50.000. to he used for establishing a trade school | in Putnam Some of the members arrived here | on a morning train, while others of the legislators did not arrive until the early afternoon express, but they were eventually gotten together,shown about this - town and some surrounding | towns, entertained, taken through | schools in this city, and otherwise as- sisted in getting information that will be of value to them. The legislative party was made up Following of Senator Newman, Bridgeport, the chairman; Rev. Mr. Tracy, Thomas- ton: Mr. Bradl Burlington; Mr. Buell, Mddlebury; Mr. Fuller, Somer: Mr. Burdick, Preston, and Representa ber of the committee on education. With Representative Plessis in con- party on their local tour were Rev. C. J. Harriman, Judge L. H. Fuller, Attorney Eric H. Johnson, rep- resenting the Putnam school commit- tee, and Justin 8. Greene. A trip through Pomfret in automo- biles was taken by the visitors and their hosts during the morning, fol- lowed by luncheon at the Putnam Inn Another automobile trip during the early afternoon was to Thompson, West Thompson and the Grosvenor- dales. The visits to the Israel Putnam school and to the Puinam High school were of special Interest to the legis- latcrs, who got away from here for Hartford on an aftérnoon express. They expressed themselves as de- lighted with their visit to this ecity and its surrcundings, and while, of course, they dld not make any definite statement as to what thelr ieport on the measure would be, it s certain that they are favorably inclined. It is probable that the report on the bill wiil be made by the commitiee in & few days. FORMER TEACHER IN COURT. Mrs. orrar Fannie D. Morrarty of Putnam Heights Placed on Probation.
