 loan money to towns, as needed, in this section and on real estate etc. | The idea seems to be to establish a | policy that will win and hold friends | for the bank which now has a board | of trustees who have been successful | and continue to be successful busi- | ness men and men that have the con | fldence of the public.
 Mir. 5yrne a Capable Treasurer.
 The election of Daniel J. Byrne as treasurer consumes a suggestion that has been heard hundreds of times in this city since there was first talk of change in the treasureshtp. Mir Byrne is familiar with the institution. having been an employe of it for fifteen years up to the time he went to Boston about years ago to take charge of the safe deposit department of the First National bank of that city and where he remained until he was induced to go to Danielson ito become treasurer of the Windham County Saw ings bank in Danielson in October of last year.
 Treasurer Byrne needs no intro auction to the people of Putnam or surrounding towns, nor is it necessary that his praises be sung. From boy | hood up to the time he went to Bos- ton he was a resident here Few men become so universally popular and fewer still combine that happy estate with such unusual ability as he has | long since demonstrated that he pos en states would not produce a man better qualified, considering the propo- | sition from every angle than is the new treasurer for the position he is l to fill.
 | The newly elected treasurer will as- sume his duties here as soon as he can conveniently arrange to make the change from DanielSon. When the | meeting of the trustees adjourned on | Monday it was until the second Mon | Is expected Mir. ByTne will have quail | fled as treasurer. The adjournment | of the adjourned annual meeting of the corporators was until the third Monday in September.
 | Sentiment about the city Monday after the results of the meeting be- came known plainly indicated that the i bank had taken a long step forward | by its action of the afternoon toward | winning back the full confidence that l everyone is anxious to see it receive | in the common interest of Putnam and the surrounding towns. This sen | timent casts no reflection on former | officials, particular pains being taken | to state this by almost everyone who | discussed the matter; but there was a strongly expressed feeling in favor of a change of management of some of the past policies of the bank.
