London -t Corresponds of The
. Associated Press THE problem of
Z providing employment ana proper
habiJauous for the Belgian refugees
both iu Holland and ia England. is
daily growing more urgent, in the
opinion or Percy Alden. member of
parliament who has represented the
British government in irs dealings
with rle refugee question since the
. beginning of the war.
A number OF Belgian refugees in
England is now officially estimated.
according 20 a government statement
iu the house OF commons. az 10000
not including $4,000 wounded soldiers
in British hospitals. This total con
sisJs OF 65.0 600 men. $4,000 women, and
$4,000 children under 10.
II feel very strongly" says Mr.. Al
den in a statement TO the public. that,
through lack of work and proper
housing, these BeIg5aDs run a serious
risk OF returning home at the end Of
the war in a demoralized and deter
iorated condition. In Holland espe-
Cislly the method of dealing with the
refugees is still OF a temporary and
aIHA us factory nature lAEF are laF-
iuE in churches. schools. barns. sheds
and barges. and the food they are re
ceivins is none too good As to the
employment question. little or no at
tempt has been made TO deal with il,
either in Holland or England.
Il have made several visits to Hol-
land at the request OF the president Of
the local government board. 20 in
vestigate conditions there England
and Holland are faced with a very
awkward task. but serious attempt
viii have TO bee made and that soon.
20 provide remuneratjve work and ade-
QUate residence for these people.
My belief is that the next stem
should be the building or some thou
sands % wooden huts. each containing
three rooms which could be construct
ed by the refugees themselves, and
could be taken 70 pieces al the end OF
the war and transferred TO various
parts OF Belgium 10 be used as dwell
ings until permanent homes can be
built. The building of the huts could
be made 20 provide work for many
thousand refugees. calculate that
az least $500. 600 will be required for
the adequate launching of this scheme.
j. is the only way I know in which a
proper sembiance of family life can
be restored TO these BeIgians during
their Temporary exile from their own (

and Pomfret streets-the very heart
of the city-has become a real danger
point with the great many cars in
operation nd not a day goes by but
occurs more or less narrow escapes
from. accidents, many times when
drivers are proceeding careful, many
other times when fool driving is be-
ing done.
1t is expected that the rules to be
framed will follow much after the
style of traffic rules in force in many
cities with special consideration for
local conditions.
Municipal Barn Proposed.
The city property committee of the
common council has been directed to
ask for bids for the construction of
a city barn to be approximately so
by 80 feet. The city has been paying
$120 a year for barn rent. Plans
that were secured by former Alder
man G. Allen Hawkins for a barn 40
by so feet in 16 feet in height pro-
vide for a structure that could be
built for 5000. 1t is believed that a
barn of a smaller size would be suf-
ficient for the needs of the city, so
bids will be asked for a building of
the smaller size. If it is constructed,
a considerable saving to the city will
be made each year.

WESTERLY LESSEE
Takes Control of Bradley Theatre
Next Monday-David A. Smith New
Manager.

Papers were signed Wednesday dis
posing of the lease of the Bradley
theatre, which has been held by Sel1g
Goldman, to David A. Smith, West
erly, r. l., operator OF the circle the
atre in that place and an experienced
theatrical man. Mr.. Smith is to take
possession next Monday. In addition
to his theatrical interest here and in
Westerly he is a man OF affairs and
promises to maintain the local house
at high standard and to take ad-
vantage of every favorable opportuni-
ty to present pleasing attractions to
the people of Putnm.
Mr.. Smith will spend considerable
time here but during his absence the
house will be under the direction of
his son, Isaac, who is to be graduated
from Amherst college this month.
Mr.. Goldman, the retiring manager
and also part owner of the lease of
the Loomer Opera house in Will
mantle, has been in Putnam just
year and has proved an excellent
manager of the Bradley theater- He
has devoted himself closely to his
business interests and has given, in
addition to the usual picture pro-
grams at the house, some of the
finest attractions the theater has had
since it was built. He is of exceed
ingly attractive personality, and has
been very popular here and 1t is with
regret that the announcement he is to
leave was received.
Mr. Goldman is to continue in the
theatrical business, having secured the
lease of a theater that is being con-
structed on North Main street in
Worcester and which will be ready for
occupancy very soon. The house
will seat 1000 people on the main
floor. Worcester is Mr. Goldman's
home city and he has many interests
there, so his return will be an adj
vantage to him and this fact was a
deciding circumstance in his dispos
ing of the Bradley lease.
To Consider Automobile Regulations.
Consideration of special nature is
to be given by the common council,
through it's ordinance committee, to
the framing of regulations to govern
automobile traffic in the city. The
surprising increase in the number of
machines the present season has made
such action essential. Every day now
seems to increase the necessity of so
regulating the operation and care Of
machines as to protect their owners,
the public and the machines them
selves from the dangers that are in
ciden to dense vehicular traffic. On
Saturday and holidays these dangers
are multiplied, last Saturday evening
an Elm street business man counted
81 cars parked in the streets between
the postoffice and the Arcade build
ing. a distance of no more than three
CITY blocks. The result was that the
streets were so crowded with standing
machines as to leave only greatly re-
stricted space for the other cars and
vehicles that were fitting about.
