Coops, Barns and Basements Flood- ed. as the Result of Rains on Snow and lce. Flood conditions existed at a num- ber of places in Danielson late Fri- day night and Saturday morning. School street was the worst hit. Cel- lars of a number of houses took in rge quantities of water, one of them eing fllled to the level of the first floors, as the result of the overflow- ing of the so-called Center _street brook, an old creator of trouble In freshet periods. School street was a river from curb to curb from its junction with Pot- ter street to a point near the plant of the Jacobs' Manufacturing company. There was from a foot to eighteen inches of water the entire width of this street for hours and the condi- tions was not abated until Saturday afternoon. In the rear of the town hall building the brook had overspread its walled course and ponded up a small lake. It was from this source that the water flower into cellars and out into the street. ~Frozen and partly checked drains in the vicinity bubbled like young geysers under the pressure of water. The overflow water not only found its way into cellars but as well into chicken coops and barn vaults. Under one barn off School street, a flock of chickens floated around on boards that had drifted into the place. The water damage will be consider- able, as a number of householders had g00ds spolled by the flood. The storm also caused trouble In cellars in Pot- ter and Broad streets and other sec- tions of the borough. SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the City of Putnam: Gentlemen: — The Putnam Chamber of Commerce held an open meeting on Thursday, Feb. 24, 1916, for a discussion of the problem of garbage disposal. By a viva voce vote the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Voted: That the Chamber of Com- merce recommend to the city council that some definite action be taken for the disposal of garbage. Stanton D. Wicks of Pomfret sent us a letter offering to take up this work. Enclosed you will please find a copy of his letter and proposed form of contract, and suggestions regarding ordinances. We are convinced that the general sentiment citizens is almost unanimou: avor of the city's col- lecting g of all wastes, and that su nd d h action should be taken be- fore another summer. Our study, led by a capable com* mittee, leads us to conclude that gar- Bage, ashes, paper and other wastes should be treated as parts of the same problem. Furthermore, it is our judg- ment that whatever arrangements may be possible now, ultimately this service will cost the city money. The results of our study into this blem and its solution in other com- nities are entirely at your disposal, and anything we can do to assist will be gladly done. A copy of this letter is being sent to tre ordinance committee, to whom we understand this matter has been referred, and coples go also to the public press. Respectfully submitted.
