Fourteen to Sixteen Inches of Snow in Many PIaees-Country Roads Blocked.

When the people of this section of eastern Connecticut had an opportun- ity to get a newspaper on Monday morning, for the first time since Sat urday, and read what the near-1oliz- gard had been doing in other places in New England, it was appreciated that this section of the state had all that was coming to it and a little more This end of Windham county must have been close to the center of the demon northeaster that has played more havoc with traffic than any storm since the historical March blizzard of 1888, and the heaviest blanket of snow that has lain over this territory in years has buried all country highways neck high in most places.
 Eight inches of wet, sticky snow does not begin to tell the story of the storm in this section There is nearly twice that amount and it is as fine and dry as powder and packed in drifts that bid fair to remain for many a day. Driven by a bowling gale. the snow has been piled into some traffic blocking formations that make 1t a flip-up for a choice between runners or wheels. One vehicle travels better

vey the information that the local con-
Germ has recently filed suit in the

tisement was so worded and arranged

HARMONY AT eRlNNELL.
Differences Over Gas Franchise Mat.
ter Are Satisfactorily Adjusted.

Special TO lmeS-Repuplcan.
Grinnell, April 19-Thru the delicate
diplomacy of Mayor kemmerer, and
the GOODNESS of judgment and spirit of
fairness exhibited by the city council
and Mr.. Mathews, the promoter of the
city gas plant to be here, the imminent
strained relations with regard to the
franchise voted at the late election
have been entirely dissipated, and most
harmonious relations secured for the
immediate prosecution of the enter
prise. A special meeting of the coun-
Gil was called for Saturday afternoon,
and the mayor outlined the spirit and
policy of the officials toward it. The
people want gas in the city The OPP
position to the franchise voted was be-
cause the old council was ignored, and
the interests of the city were not prop
! erly safeguarded. Under the present
arrangement, work on the plant and
the laying of the mains is to begin at
once, and be pushed with all possible
dispatch to be out Of the way of the
projected paving.
Under the franchise voted, the work
need not begin under eight months, nor
be completed and in operation under
eighteen. BY the franchise as voted
the city had no right to acquire own
ership of the plant under any condi-
tons. Now the city may buy the plant
at the end of any five year period
Under the franchise voted, there was
nothing to prohibit the sale of tbs
plant at any time to any person @,
company, and create a monopoly of TIL
city. Under the present arrangement
the plant may not be sold to any ONT
without giving the city sixty days no
tice of intended sale, and the right t.
purchase at any time within that sixty
day limit. In addition to the lighting o
the city buildings and the Stewart ii
brary, the promoter now agrees T.
equip and keep in operation at his owl
expense three arc lights in prominen
places in the business section, beside
the 10000 cubic feet of gas promise,
in the franchise for street lighting. Tn
question of the recognition of the fran
chise as voted and its sanction with tn
changes named was also satisfactory
adjusted.
