PANIELSON Hotels and rooming houses here are jheadquarters for telephone linemen, 'who have come into this territory to |elear up the damage caused by the ice |Storm of the past week. Some of the {crews that arrived at the week-end—A. ;T. and T. company emploves—have been ! !transferred to Danielson from points as far away as Pittsburg and -Baltimore. These crews are not working in Daniel- son, but making their headquarters here ‘while engaged in clearing up the tangle| of poles, wires and trees ir the towns of Pomfret, Thompson and Wbodstock. There are between 200 and 300 linemen on the job at the present time and the crews represent many points in the state as well as other states. Sundap was not a day of rest for the linemen. They were on the job at day- light and stuck to it until darkness fell, carriyn gon the steady effort to restore service after one of the most destructive ice storms in the history of the company, T. linemen who have worked tions of the United States storm damage say they anything much worse than the three northern towns m county herein mentioned. v morning are prac- from heavy, contin- The splendid effort they are to restore service is an inspira- who enjoy enthusiastic ical of the espirit de v exhauste »ole o ituation as the one »ks northern corner of of their lines in the is golng to cost the England company scores of dollars. ielson division many te'e- P a had heen out of service four days were working agaln ! d East Killingly people w off from the world . are very apprecla- on of service. member of the People’s wer company line crew, his home here after be- r fall from a 40-foot lade « s engaged in repairing t ™ at Webster, where = Quinn and other mem- lighting company’s line n at work for severa! = that the local electric Zht erew be in ter for the helping lne- ontrolled by the local g0 hard hit by areas of it are s stated that it months befora me of the out- town, so general the lines in that ter- at age of rnoon at 1.30 at the un- F.

Mr. LeRoy was a past master of Quinebaug lodge of Masons of this city. Putnam was visited by a shower, Fri- day night, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Saturday morning dawned like spring With no vestage of the- late ice Storm in sight, except the wreckage left in its wake which will be visible for months t> come. The total loss causel in thiz corner of the state to trees and orchards would reach enormous figures if it were possible to fix a monetary value on this kind of property. Hundreds .<f linemen arg still at work repairing telephone and telegraph wires. One or- der of 75,000 feet of wire has been re- ceived by the local telephone company from New Haven.

Cross roads were so Strewn ith flalen trees and limbs as to be im- passable for . several days. Men with axes have cleared the highways to travel, but it will be weeks before all evidences of the storm are removd. Building of State highway fences all| the route of the new Hampton-Brook'yn highway is underway and considerable progress has been made. Only posts are set at present along various long stretch- es of the highway, but these are to have stringers attached in the near future. The fences will be painted white. Rev. M.

R e MERCHANTS’ BUREAU MAKES GIFT TO UNITED WORKERS | A balance of $21.40 which remained after the supper and social meeting held by the Merchants' Bureau association last Monday night has been turned over to the United Workers according to a vote passed at the committee meeting at which financial reports Were made. The total receints were $180 and total ex- penses $158.60. Chairman, William P. McGarry presided at the meeting at which the treasurer, Herbert B. Cary, was instructed to send 2’ check for the balance of $21.40 to the United Work- ers, It was voted also to send letters of appreciation to the two Boston men, F. H, Whitney and J. C. Higgins, who were the special speakers at the supper. MONEY ORDER,CHARGES REDUCED BY NEW PLAN Users of foreign money orders will be saved in the aggregate large sums by a plan adopted by the post office de- partment which will enable all of the in- ternational money order offices in the United States t6 be advised daily if nec- essary as to the fluctuation in foreign exchange, The third assistant postmas- ter general, Mr. Glover, who hag made a special study of this subject, has worked out a convesion table for use in issuing money orders pavable in Europ- ean countries, a copy of which has been placed in each international.money order office. New York, Chicago, New Orlennl, Kan- sas City, Minneapolis, Denver, San Fran- cisco, Seattle, Dallas, Honolulu, Char- lotte Amalie, St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands and San Juan, Porto Rico, have been designated as zone offices. Their postmasters will be notified by wire of the new rates, and they in turn .will forward by mail to the offices. within their radius circulars informing. them of the tables to be used after a given date The new procedure will enable the de- partment to make changes in conversion rates effective within two days from the ' time the first notice is sent out. Under the old method, two weeks were requir- ed to put the change into effect, causing an exchange rate sufficiently high to pro- tect the department, but at the expense of the users of the service.: The experi- ment was tried Friday .for the first time.
