And now, without waiting for a decision on the writ of manda- mus, a suit is brought by the town against its treasurer in which his 32,000 note of the town held by the irooklyn Savings bank, drawing in- terest at 5 per cent.

The forecast for business in Putnam | for 1916 is said to be splendid. Man- ufacturers who were interviewed ' on Tuesday gave great encouragement for | Putnam's prosperity during the year about to open. That mills are running | full time these days and apt to con- | tinue to do ltkewise during all of the | coming year is at this time only In dentally in a way. It is the rule nc and not the exception, to hear of m running day and night. That is the| way things are going here. The Man- | hasset, French River Textile, Dady Silk, Waterman Worsted are among | the concerns that are engaged on night | work. Bank Prospects Most Encouraging. It was two years ago today that the Putnam Savings bank was closed by order of the state bank commissioners and restrained from paving out mone: or receiving deposits. Dec. 29, 1915 has brought about conditions, however, that promise fine things for (he future, and there seems little doubt at this| time but that the bank will be doing | business as of oid a year from today. ity Notes.
