Willimantic, Danielson and Putnam

stone arch bridge at the foot of Frank lin street. In the first named section, which is about IT feet in depth, a rev lengths of pipe are to be laid, the otn- CTS having only to be filled m. ass Lne sewer will be left for the winter with the worst of the work completed, and the contract can be quickly finished In the spring. Until then no part of its length will be in use, although many abutters have applied for connections.
 Louis Petrossi of Hartford, who has had direct supervision of the construc- tion, has done excellent work in build ing the completed sections, under es- pecially trying conditions through great part of Dyer street Along the section of this street referred to the pipes are down about 19 feet. Extra precautions have been necessary to protect the men on the work from cave-ins and other possibilities of in- jury The soil has been of a treacher- ous nature. In spite of this fact, MT. Petrossi, guarding in every possible way against danger, has come through with out an accident. Much extra lumber had to be purchased to be used for snoring purposes. The sewer has been put in in a first-class manner and will probably be equal to every requirement of the borough for the next fifty years.
 MT. Petrossi was also in charge of the work in Danielson when the Main street sewer was built.
 Conquering the Drifts.
 The work of breaking out the most travelled highways in the town of Kill ingly was in full swing on Tuesday, and it is now possible to get from one section of the town to another with a degree of safety and certainty as to how long it is going to take. Main street is still heaped high with snow. and some of it may have to be rernov . ed. Both sides are waist high with what was shoveled off the sidewalks and pushed from the trolley tracks in the center of the street. The side streets are in better condition and are smoothed out sufficiently to permit of the satisfactory use of sleighs.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
To Be Erected on Nightingale Lot Vote of Special Meeting on Tues day.

A special town meeting held in Hammond hall Tuesday afternoon vot- ed in favor of constructing a new high school building at the Nightingale property, corner of Providence and School streets. To carry out the wish es of the electors as expressed in the votes, the recommendation of the spe- cial committee appointed to investi- gate Putnam's needs as to a. new high school building was accepted, and an appropriation of s55,000 was made for the construction of the building.
 The meeting was one of the largest recently held for the discussion of town affairs and the sentiment as ex- pressed by the vote and the hearty acclaim that followed the announce ment was strongly in favor of better school facilities.
 Ex- Mayor l.. H. Fuller was chair man of the meeting and Town Clerk F. w. Seward was clerk. Speaking for the special committee. Col. c. D. Bates reviewed the reasons that had convinced the members of that com mittee why it was for the best in- terests of Putnam to build new school and the reasons why the rec concentrations contained in the report of the committee had been made. The report. which is lengthy and which had been previously printed. was ac- cepted without reading.
 During the discussion preceding the taking of the ballot. there was unani- nous expression in favor Of the build ing by the speakers. No one spoke in opposition Those who talked were Attorney J. F. Carpenter. Richard Cor man. pr. Omer Larue, c. w. Brad- way and James E. Tatem. What op- position developed was against the lo- cation recommended and not against constructing the school
 James B. Tatem talked in favor of purchasing the George NJ. Morse es- tate on Church street and this loca- ton for the new school appealed to many. but the majority of the voters at the meeting were for the Nightin- gale site.
 While there was nothing said openly there was a feeling that an undercur- rent of disapproval of the whole plan for better school facilities existed among those attending the meeting

WATCHING THE PLUM TREE.
Speculation as to Possible Appoint
 ments Under New Administration.

Possibilities of what may happen in the way of appointees to city offices under the new administration are fur nishing a topic for discussion among those who watch political changes. It is understood that men for some of the berths to be filled have been de- cided upon. while others are still in doubt.
 One rumor heard Tuesday was to the effect that Frederick W. Seward whose term as town clerk and treas urer expires with the coming of the new year, would be a candidate for city clerk. When asked as to the truth of the story. MT. Seward said he had made no move for the office.
 J. Harry Mann, democrat, and pres ent assistant city clerk. has also been mentioned.
 There are four democrats in the council and if MT. Mann could com mand their solid support and win over one republican member he could win out.
 Leon T. Wilson, who has held the office of city clerk during the last two administrations. is a candidate to suc- ceed himself and is assured of strong support. There is also speculation as to who will receive the appointment of prosecuting attorney. an office be- ing filled by Attorney J. F. Carpen- ter in the absence of Attorney Huber D. Card.
