been heard here. He saw fit, how
ever, during his address to do an abso-
lutte injustice to the local membershl
of the Knights OF Columbus when he
attempted to charge them with lack
of interest in the great moral move
ment of prohibition-with not being
local leaders in it. Why he should
have selected the fraternal organiza-
, ton that has taken as high a stand as
any in this country on this matter Sc
lected by itself and alone, is incom-
prehensible to the members here, sew
eral of whom were listening to the
address and they, were deeply in
censed at the unwarranted ailusion.
The incident was made doubly ag-
gravating to them by the fact that
the speaker claims membership in the
K. of c.. as does the writer.
Mr.. Shea's tribute to the organiza-
ton was, in the opinion Of the local
members, more than offset by the
shadow of Indifference that by infer
ence he cast upon them with a refer
ence to the fight on license.

WANTS TO BE SHERIFF.
Merritt Welch of Chaplin After Demo-
cratic Nomination.

That the contest for sheriff of Wind
ham couptN will be more spirited than
was at first expected is assured by
reason of the fact that a contest for
the nomination has developed, as will
be manifest when the democratic con-
Nentlon Tronvenes in Putnam
At a'l2te hour John O. Fox's candi-
oacy f9r the nomination was announced
from Putnam as an opponent to the
rep Hbilcan NOMINEES, the present incum-
ptIht. Preston b. Sibley, but the latter's
candidacy is to be still further contest
ed with the entry of a young man into
the field who is well qualified for the
ONCE and man who is well known
throughout the county and has been
assured the hea rty support of many of
the delegates to the convention from
the several towns. The second candf-
date to come forward and aspire for
the nomination at the hands of the
democracy of Windham county is Mer-
rift WEIGH Of Chaplin. Tuesday af-
ternoon he said that he would be in to
the finish and would do all that he
could to acquire the nomination and
ultimate election in an honorable man

PUTNAM VOTES IN FAVOR
OF MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Committee to Be Appointed by Mayor
Macdonald to Confer with Water
Company.

BY vote of 271 to st. not al arge
vote, but a convincing one, the city
of Putnam went on record at the spe-
cial city meeting held on Tuesday as
being in favor of municipal owner
ship of the local water works system
The result was not a surprise, as there
has been strong sentiment in favor
of such action While the vote does
not obligate the city to purchase. it
opens the way to that end under the
broad provisions of a special act en-
acted in the legislature Of 1905 for
procedure that will allow of definitely
aseertaining at just what price the
water system may be acquired and
under what conditions.
Mayor Macdonald will within a few
days name a committee of three Cit
liens to represent the city in confer
ence with representatives of the wa
ter company, at which a discussion of
the basis of sale may be conducted.
Section Z of the special aet above re-
ferred to provides that the price to
be paid for such water works and
property shall be their fair and equit-
able value. Section s of the act pro-
vided that should the Putnam water
company desire to enforce the ohliga-
ton Of the city of Putnam to purchase
the property, shall file with the clerk
of the city within thirty days a de-
tailed schedule describing their prop
erty ana SIallnS the terms OF the SAFE
proposed If the parties fail to agree
as to what shall be sold or what the
terms of sale or delivery shall be, eth
err party may after thirty days after
filing the schedule apply by a petit
ton to the superior court of the coun-
ty, setting forth the facts and pray
ing an adjudication between the par
ties, and thereafter such court or judge
shall after notice and hearing appoint
a commission of three disinterested
persons who shall give the parties an
opportunity and thereafter adjudicate
whether the property contained in the
schedule, including right and ease
ments properly belongs to such wa
terworks company and should be sold
by the one or purchased by the other
and what the time, price and other
conditions of sale shall be. This act
also provides for appeals from the
findings of the commission even UP to
the supreme court of errors. This act
also confers upon the common council
the right to issue temporary notes
certificates of debt or bonds, all under
certain specified conditions to meet
the expense incurred in making the
purchase, in favor of which the vot-
ers went on record Tuesday

Feeiess Voting This Year.
Not a cent for tribute! This. it is
understood, is the ultimatum that has
been issued to the coterie-a large one
that always expects to be paid for
voting properly" on the license ques-
ton in KiIiingly. Legitimate" ex-
penses will not be admitted as evil
if you want to; if you don't, stay at
home The joke of the thing is that
the fellows who expect to be reimburs&
ed for voting that they really want and
use are said to be very much upset
over the new order of things They
must feel themselves slipping. There
is going to be. a struggle over license
in Killingly next Monday, neverthe-
less, and a hot one, but it will be diff
ferent, as far as fees" are concerned
Town Supervisor of Schools Mooted.
The town school committee has
discussed the advisa bility of appoint
ing a supervisor of schools for the
town of Killingly, If such an arrange
ment can be made without too grea.
an expense. The sentiment of the
committee is that such action seems
proper, but a thorough investigation
of the proposition will be made, prob
ably after the reorganization of the
committee following the annual town
election. Under the enactment of the
last legislature Brooklyn is in line fol
having a supervisor appointed at the
expense of the state, and it may be
possible to make arrangement to have
one man do the supervising in both
towns.
