MUNICIPAL WATER PLANT.
City Will Take Over New Property October 15-S25o,ooo Borrowed in Hartford.

It was announced here Monday that the plant and property of the Putnam Water company will be taken over by the city October 15. so two weeks hence Putnam will own a municipal water system. The money to pay for the property is ready to be paid over, the financing having been arranged by Judge Heney of Hartford, one of the counsel for the city during the le- gal proceedings that led up to the citys getting the plant The rate at which the loan has beeq negotiated has not been made public but 1t is understood to have been a fraction over four per cent, and that the $250,0G0 that has
 been borrowed comes from Hartford
 insurance companies.
 The transfer of the property will take place in this city. It will be one
 of the most important happenings in
 the history of the city, if not the most important, but 1t will not be marked
 by any special ceremony, just the sign ing of necessary papers.
 It was said by a city official Monday that the revenue of the company from it's business here is about S27,000 a year. Today being the first of a quar- ter of the year thousands of dollars of this revenue will commence to be
 paid in to meet rental charges to Jan
 uary 1, thr ee months in advance. When the city takes the plant over, all rev. enue collected for service after Octo- Der 15 will be turned over to the city. To all outward appearances there
 will be no change after the transfer. Those who are in charge will remain | in charge. There are now two vacan- cies in the board of three water com
 missioners and it is not probable that 1 these vacancies will be filled until the council makes appointments in Jan- 1 uary. Until that time there probably will not be many developments of in- | terest in regard to the water plant
 which the city is pleased to own.

BLUE MONDAY FOR DE vlco.
Democratic Campaigner and His Wife Arrested for Non-Payment of Old Board BiIl-Under Bonds of $500 Each.


 Jean deVica, who works@at the state headquarters for the democratic party in New Haven, came home Saturday evening to spend Sunday with his fam fly. Monday morning, little after z o'clock, Constable w. J. Hastings and Attorney E. z. Terry of New Haven entered Mir. deVicq's apartments in the keigEiu block on Main street. Mrs. deVlcq said that her husband was not at/home. but he was in the bedroom, and both he and his wife were placed under arrest in an action instituted against them where they are charged with fraud. The suit was brought by Mir. and Mrs. w. H. Smith, owners of the Park Central in this city. Under the action of fraud the bodies of MT. and Mrs. deVicq could be taken. Fol- lowing their arrest they remained in their apartments in the custody of Constable Hastings, while Attorney Terry went to the home of Town i Clerk Frank P. Fenton, who returned and went surety on two bonds of $500 each for the appearance of the de- Vicqs in the superior court to answer to the charge against them.
 A number of years since MT. and Mrs. deVicq boarded at the Park Gen. tral, and their board bill, which, &C., cording to the plaintiffs, amounted to $500, has never been paid. Mir. deVicq gave the plaintiffs chattel mortgage on some printing presses and machin- cry and when he found that the plain tiffs were about to foreclose begged of them not to do so. Both he and his wife at the time told the plaintiffs they had parcel of real estate in Comitt, Mass, valued at s400 with but an en- cumbrance of S60 upon it. They agreed to transfer the title to this property toithe plaintiffs, but never did so An investigation disclosed that the prop erty in question had tax liens against it for more than it was worth.
 The action is made returnable to the superior court for Windham county on the first Tuesday in November.
