BELT LINE,
Some Time, Perhaps, But Not Right Away-Connecticut Company InVes- tigating.

Whether or not Putnam people get the trolley extension-the belt line that the Connecticut company was re- gently petitiOned to build here is question: Manager Samuel Anderson of Norwich writes for the company that they have no charter rights to build lines through the streets named for the belt line. As such a charter can be granted only by the legislature, which does not reconvene until Janu- ary next. and more months must elapse before the charter would be granted, if granted at all, the belt line in reality is some distance in the fu- ture Then, again, the company, of course. must be shown that the build ing of such an extension to the city's lines is necessary and that the com pany may be reasonably sure of a sat- 1 isfaotory return on the investment. The company, thoagn. expresses a willingness to investigate the matter.
 High School Team Well Coached. Spectators who have watched the | baseball team of Putnam High school | in action this early in the season are not slow to perceive the fine results i that are following the coaching of the | students by Inspector Keeney of the | High school faculty. He has given the ! youngsters a valuable knowledge of inside ball." filled them with ginger and speed and they now look like a team that will make the going inter- esting for any school ream they meet ! this season.
