DANIELSON How many women on the republican and on the democratic town committees hereafter? It's a little question that is giving the party directors a bit of con- templation. ‘Will H Barron, Boaton, formerly en- ®aged in business in Danielson, was a visitor in town at the week end. Miss Margaret McBride is at Newport for a week’s stay. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Coon of Westerly were guests of Mrs. Sarah Jaegar Satur- day and Sunday. Ralph C. Young is spending a vacation of two weeks’ at Oakland Beach. John Jagear and family are visiting at Epping, N. H,, for 2 week. A large number of Danielson baseball fans were at North Grosvenordale Sun- day afternoon to see the Boston Ameri- cans play against Manager McDermott's Braves. The Connecticut Mills is closed for a period of two weeks. The plant employs several hundred hands. Telephone plant department men as- signed to this section of the state have been getting long and arduous hours try- ing to repair the damage caused by the electrical storms of the past week and to Testere service to normal, a difficult task. Henry C. Henniker of Bridgeport was 2 visitor with friends in Danielson over Sunday. J. Carl Witter was at Putnam to con- duct ar auction on Saturday. Scores of Danielson women who have always insisted that they did not want to vote will become voters in order to pro- tect rights now given them. Many other women will be urged by their husbands to become voters—for the husbands argue that they purpose to “have as many votes as the next man who has a wife,” which theory may work out all right, and then again may not, for it will be recalled a wife once enfranchised may vote as she pleases. An advance statement of the financial condition of the town of Brooklyn shows that its officials are able to report a re- duction of the town debt by $1,428.65 during the fiscal year just closed. The statement, as of Aug. 14, shows that the Brooklyn town debt at that time was $41,- 717.43.

This is the thoroughfare that is being developed by the Connecticut Mills com- pany, and during the past year upwards of 40 tenements have been built along it The town has adopted a policy of accept- ing the streets that the mill company is developing at Connecticut Village, and it is very likely that favorable action will be taken on the latest petition. Selectman Gilbert said Saturday that the special meeting asked for likely will be called within 10 days. Selectman James Bacon of Goodyear also had a petition, ready for circulation, on Saturday, asking that the town give consideration to making an appropriation for the erection of a portable schoolhouse at Goodyear, or for action under which some other provision will be made for providing temporary additional school quarters at Goodyear, where the school building is not sufficiently large to ac- Interest on same to Sept. 1, commodate the school children of the vil- i cer o .. lage.

These include federal licenses on public service. automobiles, taxes on pool and billiard tables, on tobacco, on pro- priettary goods, on materials classed as luxuries, etc., ete.

Miss Kathleen Burns of Hartford was a visitor with relatives here over Sunday. The Connecticut company’s supply of coal for use at the Dyer dam plant was so low that two carloads were secured from the supply of one of the big manu- facturing concerns of the town. The River Weaving company is re- suming operations this morning after having been closed for several weeks, The plant will operate only on part ca- pacity for the present. Mrs. Anna Hall, Boston, guest' of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Frost, dislocated both her ankles while in bathing at Oakland Beach.. Mrs. Hall is now recovering at 5 operating expenses, and that t/llfmet! revenue was necessary. Danielson comes the nearest to Putnam’s high rate. In that borough $1.85 per thousand is _charg- ed but there is no meter rental It is stated, however, that the citizens of Din-: ielson are looking for an increase, pos- sibly ‘as high as Afty per cent, in tne near future and expect (o pay about $2.75 per thousand. In Southbridge, Mass., the rate for gas is $.75, with no- rental charge; in Webster, Mass., the rate ‘is $5 with no meter rental although one is being contemplated ; in Manchester_tne rate is $1.35 for the first 10,000 and $1.10 for over 10,000, with no meter charge; the rate in "Rockville is $1.50 per thous- and: Up to a month ago there was a meter charge of 50 cents a month if that amount of gas was not consumed.

Miss Bigelow, school nurse, and Miss Carney, district nurse, have returnea the Frost home here. Chief A. Putnam Woodward of the fire department said on Sunday that he has received an invitation for the Dan- ielson department to participate in_the Rhode Island firemen’s muster to be held at Oakland Beach on Labor day. Members of C company, state guard, were at the rifle range south of here on Sunday for target practice. Danielson’s business section was liter- ally jammed with automobiles during the late hours of Saturday afternoon and evening, parking spaces being at a pre- mium. Many drivers were forced to park their machines in residential streets. Catherine Fly Danielson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Danielson, died Sunday evening at the home of her | brother, George Danielson, on Maple street.

During the life of the late Henry C. Bowen Roseland park was the scene of many large gatherings. General U. S. Grant, James G. Blaine, John A. Lo- gan and many other notables came to the park on Independence Day to address the people as guests of the owner andj editor of the New York “Independent.” The pageant, that is now under way, is expected to attract the largest number o1 people that has assembled at the park in a decade or more. Over a hundred townspeople ‘will take part and the pub- lic has been invited to see the great out door spectacle. Those interested in reviewing some of early history of the, Pilgrims will find much; to interest them from the time the Mayflower lands while the Indians gather in awe until the grana climax when General George Washing- ton and his Colonial troops arrive, flushed with victory over the Red Coats and the compact is signed. The fitting out of the Mayflower is under the direction of Harry Wells, who will also act as captain of the crew. There will be music by an orchestra and singing by a large chorus. The list of the ten episodes. with the director of each, is as follows: _“Merrie England,” Rev. Fosdick Har- rison. Holiday in Holland, Blanche Stouten- burgh. The Mayflower, Harry E. Wells. Signing the Compact, Frederick Hineichs. First Wash Day, Elizabeth Bingham. Plymouth Rock, Philip R. Dean. Indian Friends, Rilla H. Child. Pilgrims Going to Church, Arthur G. Morse.

Free- man, of New London,. has accepted an invitation to be present and make an address. It was hoped to have Senator Brandegee, also, bul“he sent regrets, saying that it was impossible for him to be present on that day. Senator Bran- degee, and also State Senator Archibald Macdonald, were ‘pstrumental in having Congressman Freeman come here. The outing will consist of a dinner, athletic events, for Which prizes are awarded, close September 1st. Putnam, before that date. An automobile driven by Harry ¥. Prentice and a trolley car of the Con- necticut Company, were in collision at an early hour when fog and the smoke from a railroad locomotive shut off Mr. Pren- tice’s vision. Mr. Prentice was going easterly on Providence Street near the railroad overhead bridge. Underneath the bridge was the locomotive from which black smoke was fssming. There was also a fog. Mr. Prentice, in turning out for a machine coming from the op- posite direction, drove onto the trolley track not seeing the trollty car ap- proaching on account of the smoke and fog. The auto and trolley car collided head on and the front of the motor was badly damaged. No one was hurt. ) Putaam’s new gas rate of $1.90 per thousand cubic feet, up to 20,000 and $1.50 per thoutsand if more than 20,000 feet are used, plus a meter charge of $6 a year, went into effect on Friday.

Putnam people have noted with inter- est that there are 100 millionaires in Connecticut. It is also noted that Put- nam has not its quota. There is not a millionaire to be found inside the city limits although there may be one or two in the surounding towns. All of the large corporations in Putnam are own- ed by people who live outside and have little_interest in the city's welfare. When strangers are wont to ask why Put- nam has no public park, no fine li- brary or other public building, the reply is almost invariably—“Because there are no_rich, public spirited citizens i this town.” JEWETT CITY A party of local amateur botanists on a recent trip ot Willimantic nofced a strange patch of flowers growing near the Scotland station. From the win- dows of the moving train it was im- possible to define their identity. Saturday E. F. Burleson went to Scotland to identi- fy the flowers. It was found to be wild bergabont, a flower given as very rare in the east. With the finding of this flower the list of the Monarda family is completéd. Its three members, oswego tea, and wild bergamot ‘have all been found near Jewett City. St. Mary’s church has bought the Driscoll property on North Main street. People driving along the road often come upon the place where a shower ended, shown by a wet and dry mark | squarely across the way. Sunday fore- noon a shower deluged the borough; for five minutes the Congregational church was being drenched, while the Baptist church :00 yards south was dry as a Done. Last week there were two holdups of Griswold ‘people, which have just come to light. W. B. Montgomery, with his fam- ily and friends in his automobile, was held up by two men on Plainfield street. ‘Wednesday evening. Mr. Montgomery stop- ped, when ordered to do so. The two men approached on either side and de- manded matches. Mr. Montgomery, noting that there were no guns in sight, stepped on the gas and made a quick no stop get awy; Thursday evening William Lord and his automobile party weke held up near Willey school house. These two men were both armed and demanded money. Mr. Lord took a chance, when the guns were low down. One man stood in front of the machine a little to one side. He nearly got this onme, running over his foot as he beat it down the road. The hold-up men were of the mild sort and did not firs at the fleeting machine. Mrs. Mary Scully, iwdow of Dennis Scully, for many years a resident of Jewett City, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Lee, in Plainfield, Sunday morning. She was born in Ire- land the daughter of John and Ellen Suilivan. She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. James Lee, Mrs. Will- iam Cantwell of Plainfield. and Mrs. Jo- seph Cahoon of New London. A daugh- ter, Katie, and a son, Jery, both resi- dents of Jewett City, died some vedrs ago. A St. Louis girl ate half a weding cake and retired to dream of her future husband.
