Michaél Longo has been appointed to keep tabs on peddlers who come into Killingly and do business without having ‘4 'license. The idea is to pro- tect the interests of the business men who live here, pay rent and taxes and all of the other incidental expenses of carrying on trade and of liy For a long time there has heen a ‘desire on the part of business men and others who have their interests at heart for action that would require transient venders to pay something for the privilege of doing business in this town whenever they see fit to run in and stay for a day or two. These peddlers are held to be of no commer- clal value to Killingly, nor to the peo- ple they come here to serve. They are regarded as illegitimate traders in the sense that they meet none of the obligations of supporting the town and institutions within it, as dothe resident business men, therefore Mr. Longo is appointed to look them up and is on their trail Mr. Longo is earnest for the job and will be heard from as time goes on. In Putnam the city requires that all transient venders take out a li- cense before they attempt to offer their wares for sale and the rule is rigidly enforced. The licensing plan was introduced during the adminis- tration of ex-Mayor J. J. McGarry and several thousand dollars has come into the city’s treasury since that time as tribute from venders well able to pay for an opportunity to compete against the city’s business men, NATIVE OF DANIELSON, Attorney Warren D.

There was a great deal of discu: slon Thursday over the proposition that the city purchase an automobile firetruck. The matter 1s to be decided, in ail probability, at a special city mmeeting cailed for next week, and it is. evident that the meeting will be one of the most largely attended of any similar gathering held here in a long while. There is a very strong sentiment in faver of purchasing the apparatus and, of course, there is some opposition to so doing. Those favor- ing the plan point to the fact that fire losses in Putnam within the past two years might have been reduced more than five times the amount that a truck would cost had the city owned one of the rapidly moving, right-on- the-job pleces of motor apparatus Those in favor of buying also call at- tention to the fact that Putnam’s fire losses have been 8o large within the past two years that an increese i insurance rates is one of the possibil- ities if something is not done to im- prove, or at least to Increase, the fire- fighting power of the city. Those op- posed to spending $6,000 for & motor truck for the fire department are al- together opposed to the plan on the grounds of - oconemy in expenditures or are offering a substitute proposi- tion aleng the lines of buying a cheap- er and ordinarv motor truck . -and equi] it with hose | | and a The Coupons | (it Spices Pickles Rolled Oats JERE is a coupon scheme wort while—get the valuable Serv-us with every food product you buy--save them and you’ll be surprised how quickly they will accumulate—you can get many , beautiful things for yourself and your home with them. f It I!
