 Change in Mails
 On Monday a change in the mails went into effect that is much apprecia- ted by Canaanites. A closed pouch is now received from Hartford each morn ing at 9:11 and this pouch also contains mail from New York City. Heretofore the eastern mail has arrived here at 10:34 and the mail from New York at 9:4S a. m.
 l It Pleased Them
 Grant E. Laidlaw, superintendent of construction for the Borden company, | so favorably impressed with the con- struction and operation of the septic tank which is being used in connection with Canaan's sewer system that he se- | cured drawings of the same and sub- mitted them to the company. After a careful examination the company di- rected MT. Laidlaw to proceed with the construction of three of the tanks to re- ceive the sewage at that number of plants and five more are to be con- structed later.
 Operating Satisfactorily.
 The septic tank, which is one of the principal parts of the new sewer system, is working to perfection thus far There is absolutely no odor from it unless the doors in either end are opened and even then 1t is not offensive. The tank OCT tainly is we'll made and is operating to the entire satisfaction of the members of the executive committee of the fire dis trict. There is no doubt, whatever, that after the slighted portions of the work along the pipe line have been repaired the entire system will work nicely. School Notes
