CIRCUS GROUNDS May Be Utilized for Ball Field by Pro- posed Textile League,

In connection with the Textile Base ball league, being organized here, there is a plan to develop what has been used as a circus grounds. off North Main street, for the past few years, as baseball field.
 These grounds are close to the troI- ley line and not long wallc from the business section. The accessibility of the grounds is considered to be a big factor in getting out the crowds that it is expected will respond to the call of the national game.
 It now seems very probable that the Textile league will take precedence over the other proposed 1eagus that have been talked of and partly organ ized in this vicinity during the past two or three weeks. Tomorrow eve ming there is to be & meeting of the promoters and it is expected that this gathering will result in the framing of playing schedule and the an- nouncement of the team managers.

DEFICIT REDUCED s72,ooo
Putnam Savings Bank Steadily Reach ing a Satisfactory Status-And Bond Market Steadily Improving.

The monthly meeting of the board of trustees of the Putnam Savings bank was held Monday. The report of gress towards eliminating the deficit disclosed by the appraisal of July 2, 1914. This appraisal was presumably to prove the solvency of the bank but showed an actual deficit (not including earnings) approximately $112,515.40 Easing the value of bonds in accord ance with the appraisal made by Ralph W. Cutler, Ferdinand Richter and H. L. Beadle made July 2. 1914. the con- dition of the bank at the present time, with the state tax paid and all ex- penses charged off to date, is as fol- lows.

 This shows that, taking the same bonds, the deficit of July 2, 1914 of approximately $112.515,40 has been re- duced to a deficit of $39,580.01: a re- duction of the deficit of something over $72,000.
 Theearnings of the bank are norm- al, and if the bond market was as strong as it was year ago, the bank would be warranted in reopening and could pay out any necessary amount of money called for by its depositors.
 But the trustees of the bank are confronted with unusual 'cnditions.
 Since this appraisal there has oc- cured the most disastrous war the world has ever witnessed with the re- suit that the bond market of last Ju- ly for a time was suspended. This bond market IS now SloWly returning to satisfactory basis and with peace in sight, standard bonds will again come into their own. The cash from the current income of the bank is kept closely invested, a good rate of interest is obtained upon it's deposits in other banks, and with reasonably favorable bond market the bank will soon be upon a satisfactory basis.
 There is no mystery about the persent condition of the bank nor are there any concealed assets or liabil- ities.

time shown disposition to hold back.
It fact, the other day when friends OF
some Of these measures asked to have
the bills brought out they were sent
back.
But as to whether all the various
dry bills will pass Is another question.
There is a well defined sentiment
among some of these who are described
as moist rather than dry" that the
leaders are going decidedly too far in
their measure that they are injuring
the cause by some Of the bills that
may cause much friction. On the other
hand it is now certain that though the
senate may pass all this batch OF dry
bills they will reach the house Just
about in time to get tied up in a sift-
ing committee.
Reform Bills to BE Dropped.
It was expected that some effort
would be made this week to get be-
fore the legislature some OF the pills
proposed for reorganization OF the
state government along the lines ap-
proved by the retrenchment and re-
form committee of the last legislature
1t is now said, however, that these
bills will be dropped and nothing will
be attempted. The proposed constitu-
tional amendments to change the work
of the legislature-one to reduce 1t in
size and the other to require annual
sessions-have been reported on ad-
versely. The most that can be accom-
piisned. apparently, is TO make law
that will compel the next legislature
to greatly reduce the number OF Its
employees.

matters is manifest but there will be

also TO give show as to what may De

on which the committees are WORKING
