 Under this arrange ment the office force works eight hours within ten consecutive hours, as is required ,by the terms of the new law, and ,the postmaster is held responsible for any overtime which he al ows his clerks or carriers to make.
 The four regular carriers go on duty at TAO a. m., and end their days work at 5.40 D. m., with swing of two hours from l,30 to 8.3O p. m.

Macdonald's Plans to Be Carried Out

It appears from the attitude of the new state highway commissioner that the plans of his predecessor are to be carried out. This will be gratifying news to people in Windham county and in Putnam especially. The state highway commissioner had promised to repair Elm street in this city and plans had been drawn to this effect and it was somewhat doubtful whelh- CT the new commissioner would con tinue the work.
 Elm street has been source of an- noyanee for generations and when it. was known that the state was to put it's experts upon 1t and endeavor to put 1t in condition 1t was source of grati- tication to the entire community and il Is good news that the project Is not to be abandoned
 There is much other important work now being done in this section. The Pereni Company is doing work from Whittlesey's corner to the Rhode Is- land line; Ahearn Brothers of Wilt mantle are to start work on their con tract in Pomfret next week; work Is being done on the road leading north from Dr. Spaulding's place at North Woodstock.
 When the work IS completed there will be several trunk lines converging in this city. A direct macadam road to Providence will bring that city nearer and make 1t an easy hour and a quarters run for automobiles.

not a pleasant one. But sewers are necessary and 1t becomes necessary to pay for them. Putnam has waited longer than any city in the state before installing its system of sewers and il is somewhat out of the ordinary situa- tion when city installs whole sys- tenn at once. He said the same plan had been adopted in New London and that the courts on appeal had decided it to be equitable and just. The com. mittee in devising it's plan was limited by the charter provision.
 A general discussion followed. A few labored under the mistaken im- pression that the assessment had been made and adopted by the council. As soon as it was learned that 1t was but q tentative plan submitted by eom- mittee and that the committee and the council were in receptive mood and were not only willing but anxious to hear from all along the line of plan or suggestion that would lessen the bur den of all the discussion became gen eral business talk among the citizens assembled in friendly intercourse to solve difficult problem and when the meeting adjourned it was felt that a more satisfactory way out of the diff ! culty would be reached.
 Among the others who made re- marks were Judge F F. Russell, Geo. A. Vaughn, Richard German, Dr. J R.. Kent, Chester k. Child, Benjamin Chaflee, Alderman Mann, Joseph Go- bin, k. NJ. Wheaton.
