hands.
 A Boston manufacturer. seeking a new location for his plant in this part of the country, spent Saturday here, going over the situation with the officers of the Putnam Business Mems association. He has made conspic- uous success in his line, and is rated as well as by the banks of Boston.
 He went into details as to the re- quirements of his factory, and was shown every available property suit able for his purposes. He would ex- pect to lease for term of years, not building until experience had proved this the best place for his business. His plan would be to bring dozen or more families with him for a nu- cleus of highly skilled help, and hire and train others here. Opening with fifty hands, he would expect to have double that number in a few months. He is not looking for any bonuses or favors but merely to be put in touch with the owners of property to rent, and to be furnished the information needed to form an idea of the suit ability of the city as a site for such an enterprise.
 Officers of the association motored with him over town and supplied all the information requested. He is in touch with them by mail and wire, and good hopes are entertained that his thriving industry may be in oper- ation here within a few weeks. The shipping facilities here are a strong point and he was highly impressed with the prompt freight connections, due to Putnam being one of the eight transfer points for the New Haven system

A visit to the work of the construction of the cement road in progress under the direction of F. H. Gilbert on the road between JeWett City to Voluntown, is we'll worth the time.

Stebbins and Harold Latham run the machine.
 Two hundred and fifty feet of ce- ment are laid in a day. The road is a mile long and when completed will have taken about three weeks to make. The mixer will be in operation only a day or two longer as the making of the cement is about finished

RECEIPTS OVER $2oo.
Civic Federation's Push Cart Parade
 Novelty and Success.

Mrs. A. H. Huntingdon, treasurer of the Civic federation, said Wednesday afternoon that the receipts from Tues days carnival up to that time amount ed to approximately $200, with some more money to come in. The very de- serving organization is receiving un- stinted praise for the many novel and interesting features introduced to make the affair such a pronounced success. The push cart parade easily eclipsed either of the circus parades recently seen here. Many who were not able to view it would not miss another op- portunity to do so. Clever minds that worked out the arrangements for the parade will not fail to appreciate how thoroughly enjoyable it proved for those who saw it nor the acclaim with which it was greeted.
