The wise motorist is riding in Windham county coday only over highways that he is certain are passable and is not at- tempting any long trips. State Automobile Inspector R. C. Young has. received instructions to warn drivers of motor trucks operat- ing in this section that they must not run the big vehicles in excess of 15 miles an hour—the limit fixed by law for sueh vehicles—and that they must litit the loads to the amount set down in the statutes.” This action .is to be taken to save ‘the state high- ways from being utterly ruined. Cemetery sextons have work cut out for them during the coming month. In addition to the regular spring work, which always keeps them busy, they will have in this and sur- rounding towns more than 100 graves to dig. Since early in the winter very few graves have been opened in any of th cemeteries in fowns in'this part of Windham county and most of the receiving vaults are crowded to their capacity with bodies. Here in Dan- lelson, at two cemeteries, there are 30 bodies awaiting.burial. At West- field cemetery the work of intermént already is underway. The work of removing an old barn that long has been. an eyesore to people . passing through Academy street is well advanced. The barn was in the rear of the public:library building and on what is called ‘the Burlingha mproperty. The cellar of the barn is to be filled in and the area in the vicinity graded, so-that the general appearance of the locality will be_very materially improved. ‘Whileé only remnants of the snow and ice that has been going away for the past three weeks are to be seen ir Danielson at the - present time, there are some sizeable snow banks along the state and country highways and ain the roads, in places, snow to DANELSON If, up to the beginning of the pres- ‘ent week, one had an abiding faith in g;p truthfulness of town clocks, it ould have been jarred Monday if he happened to live in Putnam. At noon by sun time, as many call it, it was either 12 o'clock or 1 o'~ clock, depending upon which particu- lar “town” clock a person gazed at in this normally well balanced city, and the average man, and woman, too, looked and wondered. The daylight saving plan, as it has ‘been . inaugurated heére this season, has- slipped several cogs,r and eme; gency measures to offset the confu- sion that has resulted were being taken Monday. : There was significane in the glee with which Visitors from Pomfret,|. Woodstock, Killingly and other towns flashed their watches at one and in- sisted that they had the right time— the so-called “sun-time”—and that the clock on the tower of the Second Congregational church, showing day- light saving time, was jollying Put- nam people along. Manifestly the visitors from the agricultural sections hereabouts don’t like daylight saving ‘time.- They had one on Putnam Mon- day,gbut matters will be adjusted, it is now 'indicated, so that everybody will be more or less satisfied and bus- iness will not be upset. Warren Ames, = representing the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, said Monday afternoon that the business men have agreed to keep open stores during the present week on the “o0ld” time. Most of the mills, too, are sticking to the old schedule of time measuring, butthere willbe a change next week, when, it is now expected, the mills and stores will adopt the daylight saving time. Very few people are observing the daylight saving plan here yet, though one or two industries ang some groups of workers went on the new schedule Monday morning. It happens to be unfortunate that Putnam is the only community in this nart of the county that has declared officially in favor of daylight saving, GAUMONT weak, st howes oo o 5, 1 on the gri Our i Vind‘apfi;fld me updm.n e TODAY AND TOMORROW. ‘A DRAMATIC FEAST That Has Never Been Surpassed NOTE: —Your leading druggist Yas for - JESSE L.

Hinman has au- thorized the issuing o® an injunction In the case of Victor Peloquin vs. Jul- ‘us-Laflamme, heard in the superior ~ourt here during the March term. The property mentioned in the fol- lowing memorandum of decision is lo- cated on Providence street, this city where the plaintiff and defendant C are resident: It is foung from the evidence sup- plemented by a personal inspecton o the locous by the court, made by agreement of counsel, that the stair- way in question built subsequent to, instead of previous to;, November 15, 1904, and hence was not in ex- Istence at the date of the conveyance from defenddnt to plaintifi’s grantor. If the fee of the-entire passway be tween the buildings was in the de fendant the question as to whether the stairway constitutes an obstruc- tion to the reasonable or proper us¢ of the passway would be, to the least, much more doubtful than it i under the ‘existing conditions. How-. ever, since the boundary line between plainfiff’s land and that of the de- fendant is, approximately in the cen- ter of the passway as it existeq at the time of the grant, and the erection of the stairway leaves but three feet nine inches of clear space between the outer side thereof and defendant’s boundary line, less than one-half of the reasonpable width of a driveway although ample space remains ba- tween the stairway and plaintiff's building, the effect of the erection of the stairway is to divert the burden of the driveway largely onto plain- tiff's land. For this reason I con- sider said stairway an obstruction as to which an injunction should prop- erly be granted. No damage was proved and none is, therefore, allowed. 3 An injunction may be issued ds prayed for and counsel may prepare and submit a form of judgment ac- cordingly. Costs may be taxed in faver of the plaintiff, Gurdon Miller, of Norwich, the brakeman who was injured while at work in the railroad yards here Sat- urday night, was reported Monday afternoon as resting comfortably at the Day Kimball hospital. Mr. er rallied well after the amputa of his left arm, which was barely hang- ing after being crushed under a car wheel. Mr. Miller has a scalp wound, but no internal injuries, and his steady recovery from his injuries is looked for. ‘Trolley patronage has been qui satisfactory since the service was re- sumed, it was said here on Monday, but is not up to what the officials of the road would like to see. A good start has been made, however, and as traveél increases with better weather the outlook for the road may be even more encouraging. Mrs. George W. Kilborn, who un- derwent a surgical operation at the Day Kimball hospital Sunday, wasre- )‘;in'ted Monday as resting comforta- y. Mrs. James M. Gilmore has pre- sented ‘a fine framed picture of Gen- eral Nelson A. Miles to Anselm May- ofte post, American legion.

Shumway, who have been spending the winter in California, have returned to their home here. The first three months of 1920 dem- onstrate that Killingly people continue to 'save money, the high cost of living notwithstanding.

The Quinebaug river was rising ra- pidly during Monday as the result of a heavy volume of water from the north, where great quantities of ice and snow remain. The - Quinebaug has been higher in times past than it is at present, but down by what is known as Wheaton's flats the water was very high, but caused no dam- age up to Monday evening. JEWETT CITY Mr. Phillips’ book tells the follow- in' ‘gstory of the little known Green Burial Ground: On the farm now owned by William Briggs, known as the Nathaniel Wil- cox farm, on a rounded hill near the road which leads from Hopeville to Stone Hill, on the right hand side of the road, is a small graveyard known as the Green burial ground. On this farm David Green, who was of the same stock as the Greens of Spy Rock, lived and died. In _middle life he was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, attained the rank of lieutenant, and ever after was honorably known in the community in which he lived as Lieutenant Green. Record evidence seems to show though it appears beyond belief, that he married at the age of fourteenm, Molly Wethey, who was not beyond the age of ten, and that their mar- ried life covered a period of seventy- seven years, He lived to the ripe age of ninety-five and is the oldest person buried in this yard. The oldest monument bears date 1813, and it is probable that Lieut. Green laid out this yard and enclos-| ™" ed it for a family burial ground in his old age. The monuments here bears twenty- four inscriptions, and there are twen- ty graves without any identifying mark.
