Temporary Injunction Issued to Re- strain Him From Paying Out Money Unauthorized. Under temporary injunction issued by Judge Joseph C. Tuttle of the su- perior court, George W. Eastment as treasurer of thetown of Brooklyn, was restrained Monday from paying out any money of the town or any notes or other claim against the town with- out an order drawn upon him as such treasurer by the selectmien of the town of Brooklyn or by other proper authority for such payment. Service of the writ and notice of the temporary order was by Deupty Sheriff Charles E. Ayer. N The action taken is another step in the interesting proceedings to deter- ‘mine ~whether the selemtcen or the treasurer of the town has the authori- ty as to payirg out money of the town without orders or notes belng countersigned by the selectmen. Briefs from counsel representing the select- men and the town treasurer are now in the hands of Judge Cardiner Greene of Norwich and the tsep taken Monday is an addition to the matter as al- ready developed. The information sets forth that on the second of November the treas- urer had in his possession $3,026.83 ot LOUIS E. KENNEDY DANIELSON Undertaker and Embalmer Special Attertion to Every Detail.

Rfchter, Cutler and Beadle on July 2, 1914. It has been the aim of the trustees of the bank to conserve its assets un- til they are of equal or greater value than the amount due the depositors, which is $2,747,318. They are glad to announce that this goal seems to be much nearer than at any time since the bank was restrained from paying out or receiving deposits. The deficit shown on the books of the bank by the appraisal mentioned above was entire- Iy ellminated by the earnings about two months ago; the market value of its securities, however, has been con- siderably below the appraisal values until the recent advance. They would llke to state just the crime are Lawrence Boyne, Felix Glan- astimiz, allas Felix Greene, an John Mayot. They deny the charge. * The break was discovered soon after dusk Sunday evening by Herman Chaffee, who was passing the school building, and who found the school- house clock and books in the high- way. Upon investigating he found that the school had been entered, books strewn about, the clock torn ifrom the wall and other vandalistio | acts committed. Mr. Chaffee notified Deputy Sherift L. H. Healey of North Woodstock, who immediately started an investigation. Mr. Healey's activities resulted in tracing a party of three young men who were through Woodstock Sunday in a carriage and later followed the demand for the return to this state of the three young men mentioned. The young men refused to return to Con- necticut. Officers of Putnam Lodge. The following are the newly elected officers of Putnam lodge, No. 48, A. F. and A. M., of Woodstock: W. M. H T. Wells; S.

The company numbers a num- ber of fine singers, and their enter- tainments on Monday were bright, snappy and very pleasing. A speclal picture programme was shown in con- date of reopening; this, however, has not been determined. The necessary preliminary steps, however, are now being taken and it is expected that by April 1st it will be possible to take definite action. ‘They believe it is their first duty to safeguard the principal of depositors intrusted to the bank, and to make it possible for every de- positor to secure the eamq if desired. After this condition is reached the matter of declaring dividends can be considered. When the board are con- fident that they can turn its securities into cash, if desired, at a price equal to or exceeding the values at which they are carried on the books of the bank, they will then, upon approval of the bank commissioner, reopen.
