The work was donc during the month of January and was in connection witli the damage wmu(!ht or by a severe storm. When blll $226.53 was_rendered Mr a. check for $25 in purt. a:ymenl, de- clareq that the cost of the work was more than she anticipated, and subsey quently ordered work stopped before the job.was completed, according to testimony of ph.lntlx No other pay- ment had been made and no response had been received from defendant on the demands of plaintiff for payment of the balance due. Judgment was given for recovery of $201.58 and costs, Attorney Olney, counsel for defendant, made no appearance. Judgment was rendered on copdition that the de- , fendant be permitted to reopen the case within one month, which was agreeable to Attorney George R. Mc- Kenna, counsel for plaintiff. As Judge ‘Williams had family relationship with ope of the parties in the suit, he de- cided mnot to sit im judgment in the case, which was heard by Attorney (h;znu Emerson. Roche, clerk of the cou The republican town committee of Westerly, which takes unto jtself the ?olachon of candidates for political of- ices, subject of course to ratification by party caucus, has announced that te committee will recommend for re- nomination as members of the general assembly Joseph T. Murphy from the First and Albert H. Langworthy from the Second district. - These gentlemen have served as representatives for sev- eral terms and the committee makes advance declaration that there will be no opposition in caucus. The other member of the Westerly delegation is Senator Louis W. Arnold, | who has represented Westerly in the upper house of the general assembly longer than have the two house repre- ! sentatives combined. He has had such long service that he has become an influential member of the ‘senate and had served his town and state weil. Sepator Arnold is a candidate for re- nomination, which carries with it re- election in Westerly. The town com- mittee will not recommend a'nominee for the senatorship, but will grant all power of that nomination to the re- Publicans in caucus assembled next|‘ ‘THursday. This is taken as indicatio~ that the committee ‘hopes for a con- test in the nomination for senator and will probably trot out some dark horse from the political paddock to enter the race for the nomination. The dark horse idea would be oh- Jjeptionable to Mr. Langworthy, whom the commiltee, recommends for renomi- tion as re ntative, and if there is y chance. of any man succeeding Senator Arnold, he wants to be that man. So if there is to be a contest the contestants will be Louis W. Arnold and Albert H. Langworthy, with the chanees in favor of Mr. Arnold as win- nst | . Spe | tives ner. Attempts have 'béen made before to defeat the remomination of Senator Arnold, but the attempts proved signsl failures, as he has always bad strong supporters. That it is the intention of the town majority in the plan that in the event of oppo- sition in the caucus that the matter be decided by ballot and check list and that the polls remain open until 9 o’ clock. e town committee is composed of B Willlam Clare.

In connection with the publicity be- ing given the number of arrests and prosecutions for intoxication in the town of Killingly during the past 11 months—a new high record total of 170—through the license campaign, an interesting sidelight on the discussion is obtained as to the personnel of the unfortunates by an examination of the town court records—who they are, where they came from, their claims on citizenship in Killingly and the permanence of their residence here. The record is not an inspiring one, looked at from any angle. It adds nothing to the glory of Killingly con- sidered from any viewpoint. It does, however, relleve the citizensship of Killingly from the odium of being ad- vertised as a community that might be regarded by some not thoroughly con- versunt with all the facts as a town in which more than 10 per cent, of its total votlng strength have been in its town court during the last 11 months charged with intoxication. This, indeed, is not an enviable repu- tation to earn; but es are misun- derstood and misinterpreted, more of« ten than not without malice, and for this reason it may be only fair {o the town, aside from all arguments on the license question, to write into the rec- ord of the campaign something of the men—and woman—who have passed before the bar of justice for having been intoxicated in this town. Out of the 170 persons who have been before the local court on intoxi- cation charges in the last 11 months the names of 15 are to be found on the voting lists of Killingly, this al- lowing for two doybtful cases arising from a duplication of names. In the list may be found the names of many confirmed rounders, offenders, as shown by the same court records, for years back, through license and no-license periods in Killingly: The majority of the 170, probably more than 100, are transient persons, In- cluded also are the names of persons who live here and on the West Side and in the town of Brooklyn, but not registered as voters, but this group is_small. The record shows that Killingly has been overrun with what many are pleased to term bums during the past year and that they have managed to !et intoxicated and into trouble here the expense and disgrace of Killing- lyu cltizenship. That the officers and court have not spared them is attest- ed by the record. Many Transient Workers. Killingly 1s an important cotton manufacturing center. This fact brings many transient workers here—for a period just long enough to allow them earnings sufficient for indulging in de- ba.uchery and consequent arrest. When they are not doing it here they are doing it elsewhere. With this class, Who do not by any mneans represent the great ty of honest, hard- working and well behaved people en- gaged in the cotton industry, but only a fraction of them, loiters about a group of unemployed and unemploy- d,ble They help spend the money earn- ed by the erstwhile workers and all get h'ltcy trouble. Killingly is more unfortunate than most towns in this respect. To this cl it would seem, must Dbe credited the bulk of Killingly’s er- rests and the confusion of conscience that results for many citizens. *This | fact is not set down here as an ar- gument on either side of the license quesfiml. but to throw lizht on a hhase In! the discussion that has not been publicly considered. There are ‘very few citizens of this town who are classed by record or inclination with the 170 who have been |in the town's court for intoxication during the past 11 months, The per- centage of traveling drunks arrested here during periods of no-license is nearly as great as under license. How to be rid of this class is something of a problem and one that needs the attention of all citizens, whether aligned with the license or no-license forces.

At the postal savings department of the local postoffice there was a balance to the credit of depositors on Sept. 30 of $30,000. During the past month 18 new accounts have béen opened. Sev- enty-three deposits made amount to $2,868. Endorses Tourtellotte H. S. Inspector Gregory of the high schools in Connecticut has pronounced the Tourtellotte Memorial High school at North Grosvenordale, which for the present is without a principal, as giv- ing a satisfactory couree of study. It is expected that Dr. Omer Larue of | comy this city will be nominated without op~ position by the democrats today when they gather here to name their candi- date for state senator from this dfe- trict. “Onlocker,” over in Pomfret, calls attention to the fact that the debt of that town, which has a progressive administration at this time, has In- creased by $8,000 this year, whereas under the administration of 1813 there was a reduction in the debt by $4,- 642.94. Address by Dr, Wilcox, Dr George E. Wilcox of Willimantic gave an address before members of the Putnam Business Men’s associa- tion in Odd Fellows’ hall Friday even- ing upon the revaluation of taxable property, a discussion of making such a revaluation in Putnam may be ex- pected at the annual town meeting next Monday. The annual meeting of St. Philip's church, adjourned from last May, is to be held next Monday evening. Retires from Savings Bank. Arthur C. Stetson has concluded his services with the Putnam Savings bank and has retired for a well earned rest. Mr, Stetson has been with the institu- tion for 11 years, during which he has been teller and served as a member of the board of trustees. Before becoming connected with the bank Mr. Stteson was engaged.in business in Putnam. A clause in the warning for the an- nual town meeting is to see if the vot- ers will authorize the appropriation of a sufficient sum of money to meet the cost of employing expert appraisers to make a revaluation of taxable property in the town of Putnam, if the town votes for such a revaluation, as is now thought probable.
