William Marland and Alanson Colvin Have Had Some Odd Experiences. Cards were received here Monday, dated_at Lauderville, Fla, stating that William Marland and Alanson Colvin, local members of a motor- cycle party that left here three weeks ago, have reached that place after many and varied experiences. They report ail well with them. The youns men found some mighty poor high- ways in the state of Virginia and oth- er places along the route, but when they became stalled in mud up to the cyclinders on their machines they simply smiled and dug the cycles out. They have learned many things on their southern trip and among others that all the world is not fussed up over current events, all-important and history-making as they may be. For inctance, they found a man in Vir ginia who “had heard" that there was a war in Lurope and was anxious to find out who was mixed up in it and what the fighting was all about. They had intendeq to ask this backwoods- man as to the result of the Yale-Har- vard football game, a matter in which they were interested. but called it off after listening to the man's war queries. Incidentally another deniz- en of this section wanted to know €rom them, after he learned what stato they were' from, if Connecticut is in the Urited States S'fact, fishy as it may seem! The young men who are motorcycling across the country to California may be away for a vear or more. They have camping equipment and are well prepared to stand a year in seeing the country. They expect by stopping from time to time as their needs may require, to earn enough money to meet their expenses doing any and all hon orable work that may be offered them Crowds Witness The Birth of a Na- tion. The long heralded and much talked of Birth of A Nation pictures were shown for the first time here at the Orpheum theater Monday matinee and night. Crowded houses were present for both shows and while all Who came found comfortable seats from which to view the spectacle the attendance was surprisingly large and was representa- tive of all the places in this vicinity. There were numerous motor parties here from surrounding towns for both afternoon and evening shows. The pictures were given with all of the completeness of detail that has marked their display in the larger cities. An augmented orchestra played the special music and there was behind the scenes assistants engaged in addirg the special features that go with the production. SELECTMEN VS. TREASURER. Set Forth in Briefs Filed in Which Has Caused Two Fac- Brooklyn. Claims Case tions Briefs in the mandamus proceed- Ings instituted to require the treas- urer of the town of Brooklyn, George W. Eastmant, to deposit town funds in banws designated by the selectmen of Brooklyn have been filed with Judge Gardiner Greene of the superior cocrt, who has the matter before him. In the brief filed by Judge A. G. Bili, representing Mr. Eastment, it is set forth that the defendant’s claims ore fully set forth in his motion to quash. ~ The defendant claims that all acts of the treasurer in regard to deposiiing funds of the town, deposit- ing the sinking fund and Sorrowing money were wholly within the exer- cise of his judgment and discretion and that the selectmen had no author- Ity of control over the same or any power of authority to pass such votes as are elsewhere referred to in the brief. The defendant further claims that the matter in reference to the state- ment by employer following the ap- plication upon which the bond of the treasurer was issued is wholly imma- terial and irrelevant. Were it other- wise, the brief continues, the first se- lectman or board of selectmen had no authority whatever to state that the Danielson Trust ccmpany would be the depostory of the town funds withcut the direction and consent of the treas- urer, which they did not have, and, in fact, the treasurer had no knowledge that such a statement had been made. The Gefendant claims that he has substantially complied with the vote requiring that the sinking fund of the town be invested by the treasurer but by and with the advice and consent of the selectmen in some proper savings bank or some other institution or se. curity designated by law for the in- vestment of the fund: that under and by virtue of an act of the legislature of 1913, the savings department of the Windham County National bank be- came an Institution designated by law for the Investment of such a fund; that the vote as passed by the town left it to the discretion of the town treasurer and selectmen as to where this fund should be deposited. If they could not agree as to the depository of the samo, a deadlock resulted and the treasurer was bound to exercise his judgment in depositing the same. It is admitted that the selectmen in PUTNAM Democrats Make Clean Sweep in City Election—John J. McGarry Elected Mayor by 63 Majority—A Close Con- test—Selectmen Reappoint Minor Town Officers.

McGARRY, Democratic Mayor-Elect of Putnam years, a privilege that they have not enjoyed for a long term of years. John J. McGarry was elected mayor over the present encumbent Archibald Mac- donald by a majority of 63 votes. John A. Dady, present alderman-at-large, and county commissioner, was defeated for that office by Joseph Lapalme. All the nominees for aldermen on both tickets were elected, contests for these places having come in the ward cau- cuses. Democrats were elated over their victory Monday night, Mayor- elect McGarry is an experienced ad- ministrator, having _previously very successfully served the city as mayor. The straight republican vote numbered 399, the straight democratic 331 The detail of the vote follows: Republican. Mayor, Archibald Macdonald 432, alderman-at-large, John A. Dady, 454; office at the time the sinking fund was first deposited had full knowledge that it was in the Savings department of the Windham County National bank and tke same has been allowed to re- main as deposited for nearly two vears without objection on their part. The defendant further claims that under and by virtue of the vote of the town set forth in the writ the town treasurer alone is authorized to bor- row money, which involves, of course, the negotiating of loans, the mak- ing of notes, and that the selectmen have no power to pass over the same. That the first selectman was to count- ersizn the rotes involved was only a purely ministerial act on his part. The defendant further claims does set forth sufficient grounds for the issue of such writ; that the funds of the town are not jeopardized and that the town is in no_danger or loss from their being deposited in th Windham County Na- tional bank. the depository selected by the treasurer. The relator's brief sets up as to the contention that the town treas | 1 the right, power and duty ct funds that the statutes neither by di- the depository or the town ct provision nor by implication give e town treasurer any such right. It is clear, says this brief, that the legis- lative intent in Connecticut is that the town treasurer has but the _limited power of recciving money and paying | out money upon order only and that he | keep a record of these two transac- | tions. It is clear that he has no dis- cretionary powers. He must receive all of the money belonging to the town and can pay it out only on the order of proper authority—no discre- tion on his part in any particular. His is practically a clerical position within narrorw and defined limits. He is an emploved servant a cashier, a book- keeper. His accounts are presented to and adjusted by the selectmen. In enumerating powers of a town treas- urer, many states expressly give him custody of the moneys of the town, but Connecticut statutes do not even give that unless it js given by implication. With the exception of orders drawn upon him by “consolidated” town school committees, inferior courts, a health officer and perhaps by others In a few minor matters, he can pay out the town's money only on order of the selectmen. He has no discretion- ary wowers. He has no power to make notes to bind the town. to the claim of the respondent the selectmen have no _ right power or duty to designate a_deposi- tory for the town moneys Attorney Harry E. Back and Charles Searls submit in their brief that, citing a onnecticut case, Union vs. Crawford, he money which passes into the hands of the treasurer belongs to the town In the absence of specific in- structions from the town, they manage its affairs, of which money is a very important part. Is it not an absurity to sav that the town treasurer can defy the town speaking through its selectmen 2 Relatives _to the requirement that the trust fund of Brooklyn be de- posited in a bank resignated by law {for the investment by trust funds, the relator claims as a matter of law any National bank is not such an institu- tion. The fact that two prior boards | of selectmen of Brooklyn did not know iof such depcsits fu the savings de- partment of a national bank does not alter the situation. The boards did not advise or consent to the deposits. The present board has undertaken to straighten out this illegal act, In another raragraph of the relators brief the fe=owing appears: This is an attempt io exalt the town treas- urer at the expense of the selectmen, who are agent of the town, so rec- ognized by statute, by the supreme court and by custom and usage. There would Rave to be a very clear state- ment in some statute or in some town vote to take away from the selectmen the power which since 1821 has been theirs and which since that year the supreme court has recognized. No doubtful or strained construction or Interpretation of a statute or town vote should be allowed to take the place of an interpretation in line with the historic powers of the selectmen, but to deprive them of such powers the language should be distinct, un equivoca! 7.4 admitting of butonein- terpretation.

Good Work Don: There never was much better or- ganization nor more effective work in getting out voters, than was shown in Monday’s efforts by both the republi- can and democratic city committees. Checkers stationed at their headquar- ters kept careful tabs on those who had voted and those who had not and every effort was made to get every man to the polls. So effectively was this done that it was claimed as early as 4 o'clock, an hour before the polls closed, that all but three voters reg- istered in the fourth ward had been to_the polls. Both republicans and democrats had big fleets of automobiles at their dis posal and there was much scurrying o the machines about town, in accord- ance with instructions from headquar- ters as to where to go to get the voters in. The use of most of the machines was proffered by party workers anx- jous to land in office the candidates of thelr party. It was admitted by party workers who have followed city elections close- Iy since the incorporation of Putnam as a city that there was never a more closely fought conttst than that of Monday, with both parties expectant of winning control of the city govern- ment right up to the close of the polis.

It is apparent that the burglars who entered Diamond’'s store during the early hours of Sunday morning, have made g0od their escape from this re- glon. There is a theory that the bur- glaries recently committed here may be charged to men who ride in here from the north on night freights, do their plundering and get out again by freight before daylight. OFFER TOWN MONEY. Banks and Individuals Ready to Loan at 4 Per Cent—Chance to Take Up Floating Indebtedness. It is understood that numerous offers have been received by officials of the town of Putnam of loans to take up the floating indebtedness, which is in excess of $200,000, at a four per cent. rate of interest. The town is now paying five per cent. interest on much of the money loaned to the town. The offers have come from various banking houses, from institutions in neighboring towns and fro mindivid- uals here, who are willing to loan com- paratively small amounts at as low as four per cent. It is stated that the banks have more money to loan at this time in many cases than ever before and that this Is the reason for the very attrac- tive interest rate offered. An official sald Monday afternoon that no action has yet been taken rel- ative to taking advantage of the of- fers made, but somtehing may be done about the matter at an early date. It is also understood that there is a plan of issuing town notes in small and large denominations so that local peo- ple who are interested in investing their funds with the town might have an opportunity to do s0. Quite a num- ber of people here are sald to have sought this opportunity and have of- fered to loan the town money at four per_cent. The offers that have been made by banking concerns of loans at four per cent. are understood to be for six months periods only. Notes issued by the town, it is claimed, could be is- sued to run for longer periods. The town of Putnam has no bonds out- standing, though the city of Putnam has issued both water and sewer bonds.
