It is be- lieved that the city could have proper meat inspection at little or no cost. Any person about to butcher could be made to call upon an inspector, if one were appointed, and a small fee would be a safeguard to the public and would also safeguard the interésts of butchers who intend. to .give cuseomers nothing but healthy meat. As the matter stands now there is a suspiclon about native beef and veal which, if alayed, would tend to increase the ‘sale of this product. Word was recelved in Putnam Bat- urday morning that Edgar Gagne of this city committed suicide at” Norwich, Friday ht, by drowning. Gagne had lived all'his life in Putnam. Xis parents are dead and-he has been making his home with a marrled sisted on Church street. He had been an inmate of the state sanatorium .of Norwich. The re- port received from the institution was that Gagne got out of the building dur- ing the night in bath ts> and slippers. Heé went to a point near the paper mill and threw himself into the Thames ric- er where his body was found.

Saturdays until 9 p. m. It has been found that maintaing the collections of books in &chool rooms and branches has taken the place of circulating young peoples’ books in the evening. The town council, the highway com- missioners and the board of water com- the completion of the sewer work hel on certain steets. They have decided’ amend the act which has already been passed by the state senate and is now as to exempt the water board from the requirement of the new law, which pro- vides that permits shall be secured be- fore public streets are opemed by any individual. The bill also provides that contractors who are doing work for the water board shall place a “bond With the replacement of the streets in good condition as when opened. The water works commission objected to this. They claim they have the right to the streets without having to consult the highway commission. The water board also states that it would be impossible to ask a bond from a contractor of the sewer work and also expect the con- tractor to give a bond to the highway commission. As the real authority for the sewer work is vested in the town council and the water works is acting as agent for the council, so the council has decided to ask the Westerly mem- bers of the house of representatives to amend the act now before them, ex- empting the water works commission. The question of finishing the work by the water works commission was discus- sed and they promised that any street which had not had the lateral connec- tions would be attended to at once, as the sewers should be finished so high- way work could proceed. A plan is to be presented at the next meéting of the town council. At Main, School, Plerce, Pleasant, West and High streets are still to be opened up again by the sewer commission for sewer construction and the street work will have to be post- poned awhile untll the sewer work is completed. The amendmemt ®o the Westerly Drainage act passed the senate and the house Friday. The act removees from the law the words “a falr valuation of its water works system. Representative Alex Davis of Westerly presented the house an act incorporating the Shore Line Railway company. The measure went tto judiclary committee.

JEWETT CITY No rain gauge reports of recent read- ing tell of any heavier rain than at 4 a: m. one weel ago this (Monday) morn- ing. On the ugner end of fhe East Main street highlands there livés a man who at that hour was quietly dreaming in his bed.. At the roar of. the gale and the beating of the dfiving rain on his win- dow panes the man awoke and, like the Turk “that briznt dream was his last.” He thought of a place near by where valuable glass and costly paper would be ruined by getting the wefiing that a pos- sible small leak might allow. Quickly dressing and going out by ‘means of the back door. hastily but quietly, that the household ‘might not awake, he hurried to the house in question and assured Limself that everything was O. K. Then to slip quietly back to bed being his de- sirg, he tried the house door. Alas! a spring lock with the key inside! Wet to the skin, he rushed back to the place from whence he came. Same thing! The storm increased, withghowling wind and rain coming down hough the bottom of the heavens had erally fallen out. At this point a glimmer and then a gleam of light was seen in a bullding across the way, where the man.in charge, awaken- ed by the storm, was also looking to sece that no damage was_being done. The drenched man ran and paddied over. The man on duty, alarmed at first, with visions of hold-ups or doctors needed, cautiously opened the outer door, then drew the man in to warmth and safety.
