Common Council Instructs Police De- partment to Secure Medical Aid for Prisoners.

The common council has authorized the police department to employ physician whenever necessary to prop erly protect the health of prisoners who become ill while at police head quarters here, or who are found to be sick when arrested. This action was taken following a receipt of a com muniCation by the common council from Captain John Murray. The com munication was referred to the police committee, and that body recommend ed that the police be given the au- thority sought, the fees to be allowed a physician to be not less than $3 nor more than $5. There have been times when physician has been needed for prisoner and occasions when it was difficult to get one because no pro- vision for paying for such professional services had been made.
 Talk of Horse Drawn Street Sweeper
 Putnam may have a horse drawn street sweeper during the coming sea- son. The matter of purchasing one has been referred to the highway com mittee of the common council for in vestigation- The sweeper is needed, it is thought by many, for use in clean ing the new pavements that were put in Elm Main, Bridge and Front streets last fall. The smooth surface of this pavement requires considerable atten- tion to keep it in proper condition and d SISdl Oedl Ol IiI1l6 IS required sweep it by hand A horse drawn sweeper would do the work far more quickly and at much less expense, it is believed, than it can be done by hand.
 No Objection to Layout.
 It is believed now that there will be no objection by property owners along Woodstock avenue to the layout that has been made for the improvement of that thoroughfare. Such protests as have been received by members of the common council have been withdrawn and the work of improving the street will be accomplished during the com ing season. The state is to assist in meeting the cost O the improvement which will put in first-class shape one of the most important of the highways leading from nearby towns into Put nam.
