Following the visit here of Manager Samuel Anderson of the Eastern Con- necticut lines of the Connecticut com- pany, President W. W. Perkins of the Shore Line company and Vice Presi- dent Storrs of the Connecticut cc ! pany, action is anticipated on several | matters having io do with local trel- ley line facilities, these matters having been hanging fire for a long time. One thing of particular interest heard Bf Wednesday is the stated inclination “f the trolley road people to extend their line from Dayville to Williamsville, for the business that can be given the road by the Killingiy Manutacturing company. W. 1. Bullard of the mill company says that at least 4,000,000 pounds of freight business a year can be turned over to the trolley people, and, of course, residents of Williams- ville are anxious to have the exten- sion of the road made a passenger carrying business. Another trolley line extension talked of is a short one from the East Killingly station or | thereabouts to the mill of the Interna- tional Cotton company. Just when these extensions will come and an- other with them to Attawaugan and Ballouville is, and always has been, an uncertain matter, but the chances for getting the improvements seem bet- ter than ever. BARGAIN ICE. To Be Furnished Local Consumers by New Company—Plenty Coming From Quinebaug Lake. A new ice company enters the Dan- felson field this (Thursday) morning and marks its advent by a sharp cut from the prices that those whom it will serve have been paying for ice this season.. At the very start they will have all the business they can handle, as prac- tically all the big users in the business section have tumbled over themselves to get ice at the lower rates, and rela- tive to this one of them said Wednes- day: “Can you blame us? We have | been paying practically -double the price we did last year. Look at this bill that I have just paid. No more of that for me; I'm going to buy my ice from the man that sells it the cheapest. There is just ahout as much sentiment in me on this propo- sition as there is in the fellow who 8oaks it to me on price when he gets a chance.” The ice that is to be delivered here from the new concern is coming from the houses at Quinebaug lake, where the entire borough supply was cut for many years. This ice was not har- vested last winter, but is some that has been stored there from the pre- vious winter, It is heavy ice of good quality. The first deliveries are to be made this morning, arrangements for he starting of the business having ccn in _progress for several days, Only Tge users of ice are to be ipplied by the new concern, for the supply at the lake is not sufficient to 1meet a surprising demand from fam- ily trade. Both hotels, the markets d saloons of Danielson, drug stores d ice cream parlors are to shift eir ice patronage this morning and they will use about all of the ice that is a: the lake—enough to supply them until the first of the year. A price as low as 20 cents a hundred is_quoted by the new comcern to the lafge users taken on by them. that use a considerable " -smount ef lce, but not as much mess to stay, it is given out. PUTNAM NEWS thg1 markets and hotels, are their jce at 30 cents a hundred. 'he new concern is in the ice busi- ‘While families cannot be supplied this year they will be taken care of next season, as a hig crop will be harvested. The comjng of the new concern has dissuaded several parties from plans to build their own houses and store ice on their own account next winter. These large users were bound that they never again wouid pay the high prices. that have ruled so far this season. Men who are familiar with the ice business in Danielson say that ice can be cut and delivered here at a proflt on the schedule of reasonable prices that prevailed last year, when no one made any objection to the charges, and claim that what has been done before can undoubtedly be done again, notwithstanding that it is now costing slightly more to do business.

At_the fair grounds more buildings are being razed for the lumber that is in them, two of them being the cat- tle sheds and the horse barns that have stood near the back stretch of the track. Clerks’ Half Holiday. A number of Putnam clerks who get their first half-holiday of the sum- mer this (Thursday) afternoon, have arranged to have a picnic at Roseland park in Woodstock. Joseph Ryan, who was so_ seriously injured in the trolley accident near the fair grounds nearly two weeks ago, is making some gain toward re- covery at the local hospital, where he has been since he was injured. Water Economy Urged. On account of the long continued absence of rain, the city’'s board of water commissioners has called the at- tention of the public to the need of exercising economy and good judg- ment in the use of the local water sup- Ply. especially as to sprinkling of lawns. Manager George M. Fine of the Bradley theater has been offereq the management of the theater at Beacon park, Webster lake, for the summer, but has turned the proposition down, preferring to give all his attention to his interests, here. Jury Commissioners to Meet. Charles H. Brown, Edgar M. War- . both of Putnam, and Charles S. Hyde, Canterbury, jury commission- ers for Windham county, are to be in the office of the clerk of the superior court here next Monday afternoon for the purpose of drawing jurors for ser- vice in the superior court for one year from September 1 next. Books printed in the French lan- guage are now available in number at the public library, the vote of the last annual town meeting authorizing the purchase of these books having been fulfilled by the commitfee ap- pointed for the purpose. The commit- tee exercised unusual care and dis- crimination in selecting the many vol- umes, which will make interesting and instructive reading to all knowing the French language. Scouts Inspect Trains for Moths. Railroaq trains into Putnam from Massachusetts points, passenger trains especlally, are now being inspected by agents of the state of Connecticut en- trusted with the duty of preventing the spread of the gypsy moth, the brown-tail moth and other like pests within its borders. The inspectors get in especially effective work at night after lights have been turned on in the cars, for then they are better able to locate the moths, which gather close about the lights., The inspec- tors go through mail, express and bag- gage cars as well as the coaches and also make an ingpection of the locomo- tive. The state’s agents are equipped with an arrangement that has some- thing of the appearance of an oval- shaped fly swatter—swatter being the only a\'axiahle word in mind—attached to a long handle. The moth hunters will be in Putnam for about two weeks. Inquiries About New Postoffice Loca- tion, Inquiries by postal authorities Washington relative to many poin concerning the location of the proposed federal postoffice building for Putnam have been received by Post- master ¥Frank G. Letters and are in- dlcative that something may be done about the construction of the build- ing in the near future. The appro- priation of $65,000 has been made, the site has been the property of the gov- ernment for more than two years and the plang are drawn, so the long de- lay in getting at the actual work may be nearing an end. Among the things that Postmaster Letters is asked to do by the depart- ment is to ascertain the nature of the at minor soil of the site for the office} corner | of South Main and Grove streets. An engineer is to be employed for this purpose, and in following out the in- structions of the government depart- ment he will be required to make three pits, one each in various locations specified on the plans, and take sam- ples of soil, place them in glass jars and send them on to Washington for analysis, so that the amount of al- kali in the soil may be determined, this that any possible adverse effect on the foundations may be determined. Many other things relative to the site and the amount of rock heneath its surface is being inquired into by the government. Inquiry is also made as to the avail- ability of telephone service, methods of lighting, heating, cost of coal in this city, methods and privileges of disposing of surface water through city sewers, etc, etc., and tending to give the impression that the time is com- ing when work will be commenced on the construction of Putnam’s postof- fice.
