The asSO- clatlon immediately began to consider i matters for the improvement of Dan /! 4elson. One of the first things taken up was change of terminal for the
 trolley freight line This was neces- i tons. but the result sought was finally i secured and I believe. is an improve
 ment to the borough and a benefit l 10 the merchants.

Ing link Of state road with the Rhode Island line, via South killingiy, op- position to granting of additional li- CCA4oCo oLl1O d COnlDllCIee 10 COnI6r with the borough board of health for the purpose of securing better sanitary conditions in some sections of the bor- ough were all given careful and con slderate attention at various meetings.
 But though the past year has brought results there are still very i'm portant matters to consider and diff cult tasks to undertake Our depot facilities should be improved. even though this necessitates an appropri- ahon from the borough. The attrac- tIVeneSS of a new, well lighted. heated and ventilated building would be a great improvement. A trolley express service from New London and Nor- W1ch has been agitated and can be secured should our members deem it an advantage. Rebuilding of Main street after the method so successfully used in Putnam and removal of all crossWallls in the business section is another desired improvement
 Relative to Killing1y's debt. Mir. Prince said: There is a. steady in crease in the town expenditures and in the town debt. This matter must be squarely faced and overcome. We can not afford to stand silently by and pass on to the next generation a town crip- pied with an ever-increasing debt.
 Let us enthuse our people and get them aroused over Danielsons possi- biHties Let them know about our stores and industries and get them in terested in home enterprises. remem- bering that pride in our community is one of the greatest assets that a town can have"
