DANIELSON Chief John McFarland, of the Daniel- sonpelice, has the ni\mber of an ai iomebile that ran over and crushed a bicyele swned by Al F. Ralston while the bicycle was standing beside the curb in ‘Main strest Tuesday morning. The motorist did rot stop to make any in- iquiries relative to the ownership of the bicyele, but hurried away with his car. The ariver of the automobile will be re- Quired in dwe time to make good- for the dkmege caused and may hear something about the impropriety of running off after sich an affair without reporting the damage dome. Burgr-ri—and then some, In the wards of many who had to gt out in the extreme cold of early Tues.ay morn- ing. Seme thermometers that are not over-radical said that it was ten below ‘mere. while others were claiming that 5 below was the correct re. In shy event the cold was extreme and made éspecially so by the high and piere- iag. wind that was blowing out of the northwest. There seemed to be only one consblation in the while situation for the average Danielsonite—and thit was the prospect of getting a supply of ice for the borough. Herbert C. Keagh, the man that Dan- felson looks te to keep its ice supply suf- ficient during the warm weather period, said Tuesday noen that the jce at that hour was 6 inches thick. Mr. Keech expected that the weather man would add another inch teo this by tHis morning. Ice of at least 8 inches in thickness is need- ed, but heavier than that even is want- od before cautting begins. A continued cold period for about three days more would Kive an excellent crop of ice. All speed will de made in tutting it immediately that it is ready for housing. Mr. Keech is more anxious than his customers to get his ice houses filled. as, naturally, he is more vitally interested than they.

PUTNAM A special mesting of the common coun- cil was held Tuesday evening and passed upon two proposals to amend the city charter through action by the state leg- islature. One of the proposed 'changes would amend the charter relative to the police force, the other concerns elections. and appointments to office. Section 29 of an .act incol ating the city"would amended 8o as to.provide fof the maintenance of a police department consisting of ‘a captain and such number of patrolmen as the common council may deem to be necessary from time to time. The members of the force are to be ap- pointed by the common ‘council, whith body also is empowered to fix the wages to _be received. Every officer of the force when ap- pointed shall continue to held office dur- ing good behavior and until he shall be removed or expelled by the commeon council shall be the sole judge; provided that in no event shall hold office beyond an age limit fixed at 65 years and may be removed at any time, regardless of behavior or cause after reaching the age of 60 years. The common council” shail prescribe all rules and regulations for the police department. The mayor shall be ex-officio chief of police. The captain of police shall have the right to take bail:from persons ar- rested for an offence that is bailable. Section -6 of the -charter -would be amended to provide as foliows: ' All elec- tions and appointments to office or any position within the appointing power of the common council, which includes all elections and appointments not confer- red by the charter upen the electors of the city and on the mayor, shall be made by a majority of ballots cast in the com- mon council, the mayor having a vote only in case of a tie. The' officers to be appointed in accord- ance with tais section are the city clerk, the chief engineer of the fire department, two assistant. engineers, = superintendent of the fire alarm and the health officer, all of whom shall receive such compen- sation as the common cuncil may direct. fang Irving Allyn. The city clerk and thé health officer shall each hoid office for two years next succeeding their ‘appointment ;and until their successors reappointed and ‘quali- | fied. The chief engineer of the fire de- partment, the assistant engineers and the superintendent of the fire alarm, when appointed, “shall hold office, excent as hereinafter provided, during good be- havior. “All ‘of such officers may be ra- moved for malfeasance in office, neglect of ‘duty, incapacity or other just cause; but they shall not be removed on any charge preferred with notice ‘and a hear- ing. . The city collector shall have full power to collect all assessments for which he shall be obligated under his bonds to the city. The common counc!* may appoint and Temove at its pleasure such appointee or appointees as it. may deem proper, with such titles as it may designate, to super- vise the execution of all orders of the common _council for the constructing, en- larging and repainng of ‘all public works, and to superintend, subject to its or- ders. ‘the construction of and necessary repair of streets, highways. sewers, ete. The intent of these amendments is to remove from ‘politics, for the betterment of the service, the ‘matter of appoint- ments to places on the-official list of the police and fire departments. An invest'gation has been completed by State Officer Howard ‘E. BElliott of a burglary committed at the Charles F. Swain place, leased by Morton Otis, at Pomdret street. The losses, the investi- gation shows, are confined to two army coats, two hats, some socks and a few ather articles of apparel. Entrance to the residence was gained by breaking a glass in a basement win- dow. Mr. Swain visited the house and inspected it Saturday afternoon remain- ing there until 5 o'clock. Monday of this week Mr. Swain made another visit to the place and at that time the discov- ery was made that the place had been entered. The army coats taken were those of an officer, the property of Mortimer Ofis, Who was in the service overseas. One was a trench coat. It would appear from an |nvamganon at the Swain place that those who made the raid were chiefly concerned at the time of their visit in obtaining some warm clothing. The house was not ran- sacked, The police_ here are giving attentien to the matter of ferreting out persons responsible for -breaking into the lunch cart of Fred Franklin in Livery street. Entrance was gained by breaking out a window. Only two articles of any value were taken from the place, but the police are concerned over the fact that the ma- rauders apparently attempted to set the place afire. They gathered books and such loose paper as they could find about the plade, piled these on the stove and applied a match, hurrying out, apparent- blaze up develop. By good fortune the fire did not develop. The affair at the lunch cart is regarded as the work of boys or youths. A suggestion was heard here Tuesdsy that a branch office of the state police department be established in this city. Putnam is in what the pelice of the local force and state department men consider a strategic point. Putnam is very close, within half a dozen miles, of both the Rhode Island and Massachusetts borders and this fact, it is considered. makes Putnam a peint where crooks of many kinds find' an opportunity to quickly slip across a state border from either one state or another. What is true as to Putnam is true of other Windham coun- ty towns hereabouts and residents of them who value the splendid service that the state police members render wouid like to see a branch office located here, so that an officer or officers would be im- STOMACH ON.

The prevalence of diphtheria and scar- fet fever in Connecticut during the month of December was greater than that of any previous Décembef for either of these diseases, during the past few years. 1t is felt that the high point in the diphtheria prevalence is past, but the total number of cases of scarlet fever for January will exceed the December to- tal, it present conditions continue for teh remaining s of the month. The diphtheria situation is very en- oouraging and speaks weil for the pre- ventive measures carried out by physi- cians and local health officers in Con- necticut.

The reason for the cont’nued decrease in the fatality of diphth §1 is in part dué to the calling in of physiclans by parents earlier in the course of the ili- ness, and the prompt administration of diphtheria antitoxin in sufficient doses to cure.
