Nineteen below 7pro was the rec- ord that the weather man hung up in Killingly Tuesday morning, this be- ing the ccldest morning in more than a decade. East Killingly 1s the sec- tion, of -he town from which the rec- ord report came, bt otker places in the wicinity almost ma-:ted it. In Danielsen the lowcst mark reported s 16 degrees below, this at a Broad reet residence at 3 a. m. At Kill- ingly High school the mercury stop- ped sinking at 14 degrees below, this matching the figures noted at the Windham County jail in Brooklyn. Through the business section, ther- mometers registered from 12 to 14 de- grees below, at 5 a. m. Following upon the heels of the Frost king came an avalanche of calls for plumbers to thaw out frozen water pipes. There was a lot of this kind of trouble about town, especially in homes without steam heating plants. It was bitterly cold as the milk pro- ducers left their farms in the sur- rounding country to make regular morning trips to the local rallroad sta- tion, the drivers finding it exceedingly difficult to develop any degree of W th. The temperature ran vup rapidily after sunrise, however, ai: at mid-day the weather was beautiful, thermometers registering above the freezing point. The compensation for the discom- forts from the Arctic conditions may be a plentiful ice crop. At the Quin- ebaug lake Tuesday the ice varied from 6 to 8 inches in thickness. T ice was tapped to let water out, just a little more cold weather will make cutting possible on a profitablo basis. At other cutting ponds about town, heavy ice has formed. i BUSINESS MEN SUBSCRIBE $25,000 Toward $75,000 Required to Erect Yarn Mill For Connecticut Mills Company —Voluntary Action to Keep New Unit Here, . Responding to a hurry call for ac- tion that may mean big business for Danielson, a small group of local bus- iness men have subscribed $25,000 to- ward the cost of constructing a yarn mill for the Connecticut Mills company at Industrial place. The mill is tv cost $75,000, if it is erected, and lead ers of the movement were optimistic Tuesday of getting the sum withoul any great difficulty. The plan of action was formulatea with emergency speed, immediately 1 became known that the manufacturing compzny has in mind the acquiring ot a yarn mill elsewhere. Since locat- ing here the company has always ship ped in its yarns, but has decided noy o produce on its own account. _This fact becoming known to local busin men, a proposition was immediately made to the mill company to locate its plant kere. Gffer of a mill already constructed and immediately available, and at low cost, however, has the company looking elsewhere and it re- mains to be seen whether the local of- fer will be regarded favorably at a meeting of the mill directors, sched- uled to be held here today. It is known that some of the board favor accepting the Danielson offer on the theory of advantage in having both units of the plant together. If such a mill as it is proposed to erect for the company is put up, its equipment will cost the mill company in excess of $400,000, it is stated, and will give employment to approximately 300 band# over the number now em- plovea and will eventually boost the payroll from $12,000 to $14,000 a week. An hour's talk with a representative of the mill company resulted in a plan to form a building constructing com- pany among Danielson people. Not more than a score of men who were at the conference immediately pledged themselves for subscriptions totalling $25,000. This spirit of cooperation has been finely received by the mill com- pany and if the directors show favor to the plan, the other $50,000 will be forthcoming. C. A. Tillinghast, who has been instrumental in getting action by Danielson men, says he hasn't any doubt but what the entire $75,000 will be promptly subscribed if the mill company agrees to accept the local proposal. Such a mill as it is proposed to erect here would be about 275 feet in length, 120 to 150. in width and three stories in_height. A The Connecticut Mills company is a great big asset to Danielson as it is today; with its plant expanded it would be a real wonder-worker as a business producer in a town of this size. = The pleq under which the mill would be put up would bring back the lo- cal investors their money in total in 10 vears, with interest at 6 per cent. meanwhile.

Other instruments said be- low and a whole lot of them made it 18. Averaging the records and let- ting it go at that, Tuesday was one of the coldest mornings that this city has experienced in the last half cent- . not the coldest but one of them. arly risers who took their usual look at the mercury glasses blinked and then looked again, when they got their first readings. It couldn’t pos- sibly be as cold as that, they argued with themselves, but after taking another verification look they were able to assure themselves that their eyes were not playing tricks on them. The cold caused no great difficulty excepting to chill drivers to the bone and to put water pipes out of com- mission. There was quick relief, too from the frigid weather, some ther- mometers showing a change of an even 40 degrees between 1 a. m. and 1 p. m. Tuesday.

The meeting which followe at_the aaember reoms wa g'“vo:ed to_planning the determined to hold an open meeting Thursday evening, February 24th at 0dd Feliows’ hall. The committee in charge consists of John G. Johnson and Charles B, Dean. it is probable that an acceptance wili bu received from an authority from another Connecticut city, who has been invited to speak. The committee has led the directors in a study of this question, and some idea of methods and means, difficulties ard opportuni- ties, has been gained. The purpose uf meeting is to hear all sides, and lop !interest that will enable the welatian’s o.flcers to act for an yused sentlment, At present each family makes what arrangements it can to get rid of household wastes. Some have them removed regularly by farmers who raise hogs. Some bury or burn the re- fuse on their own property. Some, |it is regrettable to say, pile it up in the back yard, or thrown it out of an al- ley window. Moreover, some, though by no means all, of the present scav- engers do their work in objectionable ways. Some habitually bring in milk in the morning, and carry back empty milk bottlgs and full garbage palls at noon in the same wagon. Naturally the empty garbage pail or barrel keeps the milk company on its journey to town next morning. In rare cases no harm may result; but the practice ngerous, unclean, and should be forbidden. The directors feel that this is large- ly women's business, and that women should make their voice heard. The open meeting on the 24th will give the opportunity Stanton D. Wicks of Pomfret has offered to collect free all over the regularly, provided he can be granted the sole privilege. The usual method of control is for the council to pass n ordinance, mak- ing it a punishable misdemeanor for any person to cart garbage through the streets of the city, unless licensed for ‘ll‘.“ purpose. Then a license can be {issued only to the person or person: who make the most advantageous of- | fer to the city. . TELLER AND BOOKKEEPER H. S. Graduates Engaged by Putnam Savings Bank.
