 It has been decided to have the Post house remain, and it will be used by the employees of the sanatorium. The barn will also be retained. The com missioners walked from the house to the hillside where the sanatorium is to be built, and it was finally decided that the foundation will be laid out on the brow of the hill, the front of the building being to the south This will be from 1000 to 1,2GO feet from the highway, reached by a cinder top drive There will be the strip of woods at the rear of the building as a Windbreah There is an excellent view from the site selected in all directions and pa tients will have the benefit of much travelling past the farm. The building which will be three stories in height for the administration building, will extend 136 feet back, going within 75 feet of the rear boundary. Back of the administration building will be the inhrmary. while the two wards will extend on each side between the two buildings. Other buildings will be erected for incipient cases. No others have been planned for now. but later there will probably be additions made.
 w. l.. Moran and W. R. BalcOm Of the local telephone office met the com missioners at the Post place and ar ranged to have a telephone installed in the Post house. Later one will be put in for Contractor Carpenter. When the sanatorium is finished several will be put in there. and figures are to be siven the commission on the cost of placing the wires underground from the highway to the building. laying them in the same trench with the wa ter pipes. They would like to have the electric wires go underground also if possible.
 The board left here about Il o'clock for Hartford, but they will have occa- sion to be here frequently as soon as the work on the buildings is started. Contractor Carpenter intends to get to work at once, so that the sanatorium will be completed in September.

NEW LONDON HAS FEARS.
Don't Want WiIiimantic Cars Run
 hing Into That City.

According to the statement in the Wnlimantic news in The Bulletin this morning, the trolley cars arriving from there, which have ordinarily proceeded on their through trip to New London, will not be allowed to do so today owing 10 the protest of the New Lon don health officer. Dr. J. T. Black This is because of the discovery of the eleven cases Of smallpox in Will lirdntic, and the New London health officer has taken this means of pre- venting a possible carrying of the con- tagjon to his city.
 One set of cars. accordingly, will have to be used between Willimantic and Norwich, and another set between Norwich and New London. compelling passengers to change at Franklin square. Health Officer Black was in communication with Supt. Samuel An derson on Thursday afternoon on the subject of prohibiting the cars com ing to New London. and although the superintendent pointed out that the passengers were much more apt to carry any contagion than the cars, the New London doctor evidently is sued +he order against the through trips, which was announced in Willi- mantle on Thursday evening by Mayor Dunn.

FEW LOVE LETTERS
 AT GENERAL DELIVERY.
Postmaster Caruthers Put Stop to It
 Several Years Ago.

The efforts that are being made by .he various postmasters throughout the country to prevent the abuse of the general delivery is deserving of great commendation. The general delivery department of a postoffice is intended for transients, as the government pro vides letter carriers to deliver mail to ali parts of the city, and the deliveries are so arranged that mail is delivered promptly to the addresses.
 Postmaster Caruthers of this city nas kept careful watch of the gen aral delivery for many years and clan destine correspondence has been great iy restricted and almost entirely elim- mated. While it is probably an inn possibility to stop all of this kind of correspondence, still the movement has the hearty support Of all of the leading citizens of the city, and Post master Caruthers is to be commended for his work in this line, as in many cities a great many girls and women have used the general delivery instead of having their mail delivered at their homes.
 In fact. very few complaints have been received by the postmaster for the past five or six years previous to which time the good work was first started by him
