C. A. Capen acted as moderator of the meeting on motion of Frank Bugbee. 3 The eight clauses in the warning were taken up in order, the first three, embodying the reports of the town treasurer, the school committee and the other town officials, being accepted as printed and distributed previous to the meeting. E The school expenses of the town, as estimated by the committee and ap- propriated by the meeting, will amount to $60,000, an increase of $5,000 over the year previous. H. C. Lathrop of the town school committee asked for the appropriation and stated that the additional amount was required for ex- tra teachers, Yor apparetus purchased last year but not yet paid for, for more fuel ‘and a larger amount due to the state in connection with the model schools because of the extra per capita cost of the other town schools, On motion of George F. Taylor of the building committee of the town, the expense of hew sidewalks and grading was incorporated with the annual town appropriation, as this expense could 110t be met with the amount at the dis- posal of the building committee.

Matter of Argument Which Results in Hospital Patient and Fine of $50 and Costs. A discussion as to the existence of a subway in Boston, which took place about a week ago, led to a broken nose with which one of the disputants has been laid up in the hospital and a fine of $50 and costs on the other of- fending party. The fine was imposed at police court Saturday morning and paid by the father of Arthur Trudeal, the young man accuséd in_the case. Before the hearing Mr., Trudeau had agreed to settle the hospital fees and provide for the partial support of the family of Charles Constantine, who re- ceived the injury, until he could re- sume his trade as 4 barber. In view of these ¢ircumstances Prosecuting At- torney Bugbee recommended a fine in- stead of a jail sentence, and his recom- mendation was adopted by Judge Shea. In the opinion of Attorney King, who was present at the hearing, the ques- tion of the subway was rather trivial when the war in Europe presented such a wealth of material for argu- ment. Whether the Athletics will find the subway might be suggested as sure to start something. COUNTY PHYSICIANS To Held Semi-Aanual Meeting in Put- nam Thursday, Oct. 15.

At & session of the town court Sat- urday afternoon, Herman Dorman, of Providence was presented on a charge of having sold a short weight meas- ure of onions to Deputy Sheriff John M. Bessette. Dorman's defence was that he believed he was giving all the law required, that his measuré was of legal size and that the lot of onions he 501d to Bessette filied it rounding full. It appeared, however, that the onions were —large, so did not weigh up as heavily as ‘would a peck of smaller ones, which would pack moré closely. Deputy Judge James V.

CRIPPLED INEBRIATE, William _Finnegan, Who Has Under- ~gone Sixteen Surgical Operations, Sent to Jail. There was a pitiful case for the town court to dispose 'of Saturday morning, when William Finnesan, aged about 42, was presented, charged with intox- ication, at a session called at 6:30. Finnegan is a cripple, having his right leg cut off close to the body and the left leg amputated at the knee._.He is, by his own confession to focal officials, an inebriate and a dope flend. He was picked up here Friday in an intoxi- cated condition, trying hard.to wobble along with his handicaps of artificial stimulus and artificial les and sup- ports. Finnegan claims Worcester as his home city and says he was released only recently from an institution in Massachusetis where he was recelving treatment for his weaknesses of indul- gence. He declared he insisted upon being released, but that no heed should have been paid to his pleas. Finnegan- lost his feet in a rallrgad accident in Californja six years ago. Septic conditions that developed after the first operation to help him, made necessary a whole series of other op- erations and he had undergone 16, and his legs had been amputated piece by piece before he was finally well again. Under the circumstances that Fin- negan was in here, there was nothing left but to impose a sentence upon him and he was sent to jail for 30 days. PUTNAM Prof. H, E. Gregory Commends High School—Programme for Firemen's Columbus Day Muster—Effort to Start “Buy a Barrel of Applgs” Campaign—Morning Fire. The report of Prof. H. E. Gregory, submitted to C. D. Hine, secretary of the state board of education, on the condition of the Putnam High school, follows: The Putnam High school is in a satisfactory condition and ranks with the best schools of the state. It is ably administered and the plans for its development have been well thought out. Pupils and teachers appear to have combined to place an emphasis on quality work. It is a pleasure to report that the relations existing be- tween superintendent and principal seem to be such as will insure har- monious, co-oreration and that the friction noted last vear is unlikely to reappear. The recently inaugurated co-operative arrangement between the high school and the state trade school will undoubtedly result in benefit to the -young people of the town, but it is possible that the curriculum, which assumes that boys may do substantial- ly two years of regular high school work and at the same time complete an apprenticeship, may prove to be im- practicable. The experience ~gained during the present year should serve as a guide in arranging-courses in the future. 1 recommend the approval of the Putnam High school. Regpectfully submitted. “HERBERT E. GREGORY. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 4th, 1914 A copy of the above has been sent sent to Charles L. Torrey. secretary of the scrLool board.

The association has recelved a_ communication from the Worcester Board of Trade asking the association to co-operate in & cam- paign to uy a barrel of apples.” This section of New England exports thou- sands of barrels of apples to Europe every fall and it is believed that the present war will kill the market and that many apples will go to waste, and the situation will be a hardship for the growers.

No other damage result- ed. Pick Strong Candidates. Both the republicans and democrats have nominated men for representa- tives in the general assembly who, they believe, will get out a large vote. The republicans in nominating Mac- donald-and Ples#ls are seeking to re- turn the same two men who represent- ed the town in the assembly of 1813, and point to their records at that ses- sion as an extra reason for their de- serving the suffrage of the voters of the town. Special stress is being laid upon the fact of their getting a state trade school located in Putnam.., Gil- man and-Ryan, the democratic mami- nees, are both well known men and their party constituency is- strongly urging their election. There is a ru- mor_ that the progressives may , put candidates_in the field. but so far.as known no plan has as vet been shaped toward this end. Elated at Braves' Victories. Hundreds of fans have surrounded the local telegraph office cach after— noon to get a report of the world's se- ries contests as it has come over the wire. Putnam is a strong Boston town and the rooters are therefore elated at the two Brave victories.
