HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER.
Talked of For KiIIingly-Frank z.
Preston Would Be Candidate For
Office.

Some talk was heard here at the end
of the week relative to a plan to ap-
point a highway commissioner for
the town OF Killingly, and it was said
that the the matter may be brought
before the annual town meeting in
October. No details were available,
however, as to just what procedure
may be followed in seeking the ep-
pointment of such an official, nor as
to the extent OF his duty. though it is
said one object Is to centralize the
management of the highways and the
responsibility for the care and ex-
penses of them in one man relieving
the selectmen of that part OF their
present duties. II is claimed by some
interested in the measure that there
seems to be considerable favor for
having a highway commissioner for
the town. this feeling being specially
felt outSide of the borough
If the town decides to create the Of
fee of highway commissioner, Frank
E. Preston, at present in the employ
Of the Shore Line Electric Railway
company, will be a candidate for the
appointment.
