 After delay of several months the United Electric Light company has succeeded in getting a start in the .pla cling of poles for electric lights which the town ordered for Ledge road and Red Stone hill. An order for the lights was given to the com pany by the selectmen last fall but there was a delay in carrying it out owing to the inability of the man agement to get the necessary poles i'll position.
 The company was not anxious to hurry the work anyway, especially on Ledge road, as the few lights ordered for that place were to be scattered to such an extent that a large outlay of money would attend the erection of poles and stringing of wires The re- turns for the investment will be meagre and unless the town increases the mum Der of incandescents it will be a long time before the order will mean profit for the company.
 Lights in both sections for which orders were placed are badly needed and the installa ton of the bulbs will make an improvement of incalculabe value.

Under present conditions local users of the stamps have to go to New Britain or Hartford for their supply and as a result they are sometimes put to considerable trouble.
 Some of the local merchants and others who have occasion to use the stamps in connection with the war tax recently levied consider it peculiar l that the government would adopt a law and at the same time place so | many obstacles in the way of it's ob- | servance.
 May Not Accept Policy.
 That there is a possi bility that the l, contract for compensation insurance 1 made a week ago with the Aetna com- | pany of Hartford will not be accepted i is admitted by the selectmen, the | firms representatives having advised l that the policy will first have to be i passed on by the board of underwrit- CTS.
 The question as to the company's right to make a contract under the underwriters rules is caused by irs cutting of rates, the policy accepted by the selectmen calling for an annual expense of but SIS for all employees of the town compared with $500 the
