in one place and the other type in
 another. Roads are swept bare for half a mile at a stretch and choked feet deep with snow for another distance.
 The flying automobile has been put
 to the garage.
 The highway between Danielson and Brooklyn is a fair sample. On the
 flats. the macadam shows clean and
 clear; from the home of Charles Ennis
 east for a long distance the road is impossible. A wall was torn down
 Monday to permit vehicles to get into
 the fields and around this bad place.
 Conditions in all directions are sim liar. In some instances the snow has wiped out all trace of the highways
 and the good old-fashioned way of driving crosslots over walls and low
 fences is again in vogue. The climate
 Is again changing. This cross cut
 method was adopted by some of the milkmen on Monday, when they made their first deliveries since Saturday. The snow is packed so hard that dig
 ging out the highways is going to be
 more than a passing pleasure and nor nal conditions of travel cannot pre- vail for a week through the country
 sections.
 In town, the work of breaking out the lines of travel is much more ad- vanced. The trolley line got back to business Monday and cars were run, but off schedule. This also applies to
 the steam road. The trains averaged
 from an hour to two hours late on Monday. until afternoon. The Providence & Danielson line
 was closed about all day Monday be- cause of a blockade near the White stone mill in East Killingly and no
 cars were run into Danielson. The line Is open, however, between East Killingly and Providence. The sched-
 ule will probably be regular again to- day (Tuesday).
 The telephone service has received the worst setback since the fee storm
 of last February and during all of Monday a single wire to Norwich an- ! other to Willimantic. one to Worces- | ter and two to Putnam were all that | kept Danielson in touch with the out | side world. The local service Is in fairly good condition. Boston and all | other points in Massachusetts outside | of Worcester could not be reached. | Providence is also off the list of call | ing places. The linemen were work | ing their arms and legs off to get | the lines in operation again Ion Mon- ] day. but they have a mighty task 1 ahead of them and it will be days be- ! fore all the wires are restored. Accurate estimate of the snowfall | IS QlIIlCu1Iy Ou dCCOuAl Ol hnC AlOlOuo
 way in which it has drifted, but in | Danielson and vicinity the average | guess Is fourteen inches. Measure | ments taken in the woods, where the | snow drifts little, shows sixteen inch | es. These measurements were taken | between Danielson and South Killing | ly. Social and Personal.
