DANIELSON “ An ineresse of over $500,000 in the grand list of the town of Killingly is shown in the figures compiled by the as- B\ H:fchins, W. jIf; Labelle and Armold P. Rich—who have Just completed their work. Killingly's wrand list is now well in excess of 3. 000,000 and at the highest point in the histery of the town. { Mr. Hutchins of the board said l’eh!!lw n- jerease in the number of acres of land in Rhe town. This is of special and peculiar linterest. ingsmuch as the average citizen ‘will feel that land doesn’t expand. Nev- ertheless more acres are shown on the ‘grand list than was'the case last year iand' this is due to the fact that the as- sessors have been making a keen in- \spection of properties. They have added been fileq and in some cases landowners have come forward voluntarily and listed land ite the new list that it shows an imuch acreage to lists that have wot heretofore taxed Many vears ago, old town reperts will show, Killingly had even more acres, within the same boundaries, as is the case today, but this is explained by the fact that many acres are now listed as lots, under ‘which heading they ‘house are assessed at higher valuations. Mr. Hutchins expressed his apprecia- tion of the co-operation that the asses- #0rs have received from many taxpayers, “This has made the work of the officlals ‘easier and has resulted IC better resuits in every particular. Although Killingly has a large num- 3 Ber.of automobiles listed—832—this has & mot seemed to materially aifect the num- @ B of horses owned here, as the figures *for horses anq for number of cows owned vz in town are about the same as last many who have read so frequéntly that farmers and others were disposing of thel cattle dur- = Ing the past year on account of ths high prices asked for grain and the ajlegrd o % year. This will surprise difficulties of making milk productim profitable. On_ the whole the new grand list will be B v encouraging to the people of the town as it means considerable more rev- enue will be forthcoming this spring on |the present tax rate ang that a lesser rate will raise s much money as was raised during the past year.

' PUTNAM A fire that broke out shortly after four o'clock Monday morning totally destroy- ed the big barn on the Fort Hill farm, in the town of Thompson. One cow and four head of young stock were destroyed in the fire, while three other cows that had been scorched by the flames were got- ten out, as was a pair of horses. The Fort Hill farm, made notable by the splendid development work done there years ago by Edward Doane, has been op- erated for several years'dby H. G. Rey- nolds, who came from the vicinity of Burlington, Towa. Mr. Reynolds is un- derstood to have purchased the farm, one of the finest equipped in the state, for $20,000. A person living in the neighberhood of the Fort Hill farm and who was up and about her home just before 4 o'clock on Monday morning saw no sign of a fire at that hour, but within less than half an hour the great barn was a fur- nace. Calls by telephone resulted in bringing assistance and the residents of Thomp- son village were aroused by the ringing of the church beil Saving the barn was beyond possibility, however, so atten- ‘ion was directed toward protecting other buildings on the property. A strong westerly wind that was threatening to communicate the flames from the blaz- ing barn to other buildings standing near it suddenly ehifted to the north and at ‘n’nce relieved the tensity of the situa- on. A covered way leading from the barn to the dairy building was torn down and this action saved the diary building be- tng destroyed. The dwelling, the power- house which in the past furnished power for the illumination of Thompson village, escaped destruction. Blazing brands from the barn swept as far as Quadis mountain, nearly a mile distant, where brush fires were started, and other brands swept by the wind to the vicinity -of the heme of Floyd Bowen, which seemed in such danger of being set afire that a squad of men went there to protect the property. All of the Reynolds farming machinery and tools were destrored in the fire. That Mr. Reynolds’ loss of live stock was not greater is due to the fact that only a few weeks since he disposed of his herd of blooded cattle at a sale in Vermont. ‘The barn that was destroyed was com- pleted in 1902, and was at that time iR LR, A L2 As Pure as Modern Methods Can Make It Wedgwood Creamery Butter is pure.

Only sufficient power is being taken from the Eastern Power company to operate the cars be- tween Danielson and Central Village on regula schedule. Cars are being moved from the carhouse at Dayville to Dan- lelson, but' the power is weak between these points. It is stated that necessary machines are not possessed by the Con- necticut company in this territory for re- ducing the high voltage off the main transmission lines of the Eastern Con- necticat Power company to the voltage required for the operation of cars. As both the steam and water power equip- ment is out of commission at the Dyer dam plant below Danielson it is impossi- ble at this time to say just when the service will be restored. Members of Cargill com K. of C, are much interested in the prospective wisit here next Sunday of State Deputy John F. Callahan who is to witness the conferring of the third degree on a class of thirty candidates of the local councfl. This will be the first exemoplification In this district of the third degres under a newly revised ritual, introduced by the new state deputy. The degree has been completely changed as is custom from time to time., and will bs seen for the first time in this section of the state. Vis- itors are expected from all the surround- ing councils. John TL Osied snd R. L. Jostin of this city have formed a partnership and are to engage in business in Danielson. Mr. Osier was with W. F. Rafferty of this city for seven years, while Mr. Jos- lin was assoclated with the Rawley firm here for nearly as long a period. ‘There il not be any out of tewn speakers, as has been the custom in the past at this evening’s meeting of the Putnam Building and Loan association, but the shareholders are bound to be much interested in the reports of sue- cess that will be made by the officers of their assoclation. The reports will show that all of the money of the association is invested in Putnam. practically all of it in first class mortgages, that have heiped people to build or buy homes. Stocks and bonds may go up or down, says the report. peo- ple may lose money in all kinds of in- vestments. but no bne has ever lost a cent in building and loan associations in Connecticut. because the investments are restricted to the safest and securest conservative first mortgzages. During the five vears that the Put- nam ‘Bpilding and Loan association has been doing business it has declared semi- annual dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per anaum, compounded interest 'and in addition has increased the surplus fund by earnings in excess of 5 per cent.. and this notwithstanding that more than 200 shares were withdrawn The association now has 400 sharehold- ers and 2862 shares. with a mpnthly in- come of about £3.000. Additional share- holders are peing sought to the end that Putnam’s growth may be helped through the service that the association renders to_home builders and buyers. G.

Aeccording to the statements of the milk producers in town, the profits, if any, of the industry are\yery uncertain. Affer all the expenses of producing and deliver- ing the milk to the dairy companies, the producers are charged with expressage, freight, taxes, deductions for eurplus milk and other items, which one producer stated amounted to nearly 25 per cent. of his receipts for the milk. They also state that the dairy company now wants to charge them with the expense of run- ning its anto truck through the town and collecting! the milk. 3 William Welmar, who recentty sold his house on Chestrut Hill, is living with Abraham Tannenbaum in the house for- merly owned and occupied by Conrad Schriefer.
