Trolley Express to Providence

Putnam is to have fast trolley ex- press service established between this city and Providence during the pres ent season. This service, it Is under stood, is to be established after an in- vestigatlon by trolley road officials Of the claims of Providence shippers that such an express route offers opportuni- ties for getting a considerable amount of business.
 As soon as the arrangements can be completed the Rhode Island com pany, which now owns the Providence and DanieIson trolley line, is to put on an express ear that will run not only from Providence to Danieson, as at present, but to this city as well. Goods receiv- ed at the eompany's Providence office as late as g a. m. any week day morn- ing will be delivered in Putnam by 1 D. m. of the same day.
 An official of the railroad company was in Putnam last week looking over the situation, and was favorably im- pressed with what he saw. 1t has been found that large quantities of perish able matter are shipped almost daily from Providence to this city. Quick transfer Of .hIs class Of goods Is vitsliy important to both seller and buyer, so 1t is expected that the trolley express | service will furnish rapid means of | getting the goods Into the local market.
 At the start il Is planned to use the same car that now runs to Danielson 1 in making local deliveries, but If the ; increase of traffic warrants doing so, a f Putnam car exclusively for Putnam shipments Is to be put on. The route ! from Providence to this city is via East killingly, Elmyile and Dayville, from the Rhode Island state line over the rails of the Connecticut company's Putnam lines.
 An office of the company will be es- tablished here, bat nj just what place along the trolley line has not yet been decided. No definite date has yet been fixed for the commencing Of the ser vice, but it is understood that il will
 be in short time.
