The sentiment of the committee that an_honor roll should be built on the town property in front of the Town hall. The one most preferred was about 40 feet long and 10 feet high. There was a molded cornice on top, with an addition over the top of the middle of the board on which will probably-be painted “Town of Wind- ham Honor Roll” This board would have a capacity of 1,000 names Although the comumittee favorel the project, they decided to have special town meeting. The people of the town of Windbam cannot do enough to hon- or its sons who are offering their lives for their country. When the special town meeting s held all should attend, and air their views, but little or no epposition is expected. This meeting is not legally necessary, as the counell, which will build it does not need to have the meetigs. but they wish to get the opinion of the voters before proceeding.

This is the best financial showing that Ki lingly has been able to make recent- ly and the announcement will be re- ceived with satisfaction by the tax- payers. While the board of selectmen has exercised prudence in other years when there has been an increase in the indebtedness, they never have been able to make a dollar pay a dol- lar and fitteen cents worth of bills, 1io mere fhian could, the grdinazy mor; tal. This year's good reduction may be credited to the fact that Killingly's citizens voted last spring to Increase the tax rate, and the wisdom of their action is now reflected in the satis- factory report. If Killingly's revenues can be maintained for the present fis- cal year at the level of the past year, a further reduction in the debt may be anticipated, but careful economy in the expenditure of town money will e necessary to accomplish this. .

PUTNAM The announcement in Wednesday's papers that no more Sunday joy rid- ing will be permitted, that gasoline may be conserved, has caused a pro- test that is not mild in thig city and it seems to be well founded. “If some one can conyince me by a logical ar- gument that it is perfectly proper for the wealthy summer residents of Pom- fret, Thompson and Woodstock and the well-to-do of this and other towns, New England over, to ride about in high-powered cars, using an an av- erage of a gallon of gas for every eight or ten miles traveled, on six days a week, traveling for pleasure and their own amusement, why a working man shouldn’t have the right to run his flivver on Sunday, why I am ready to listen to what he has to say. But I don’t believe there is a logical ar- gument to be made on that basis.” This opinion, expressed by one mo- torist ,is echoed by the vast majority others, drivers who have only Sat- urday afternoons and Sundays for trips other than short runs after sup- per. 7 If there is a shortage of gasoline, as there undoubfedly is, most motorists here say, they are willing to be re- stricted in the use of it, “but why not conserve it under an equitable method,” they ask. Why not so many gallons a week for everybody, to use whenever it suits a driver to use. Cutting out the Sunday use of gas is generally re- garded as rank discrimination against the working man, and a rule to be smiled at by those who well can put their cars up on Sunday after enjoy- ing them ail the rest of the week. There will be a short calendar ses- sion of the superior court in this city Friday morning, Judge John P. Kel- logg presiding. The session Wil open at 10:30 and will be for the consider- ation of motions, to hear the argument of a demurrer in the (Jse of William W. Medbury vs Reuben S.
