 Utilities Commission Satisfied.
 That the public utilities commission does not object to the practice of hauling freight cars over the lines of the Connecticut company through the streets of the town is evidenced from letter from that body sent to George $. Babcock, clerk of the board of se- lectmen, in answer to his query re- garding the corporations legal rights. MT. Bapcock had asked if the law per mitted the hauling of the freight cars on the trolley tracks, and the com mission in replying specified the sec- tion of the statutes in which tho prac- tice is declar cd legal.
 A committee from the Business and Improvement Association is also un-
 derstood to be Investigating the mat ter.
 There is strong objection here to
 having the cars hauled through the streets, especially in the daytime, but
 it is evident that the company off,

 Little Doing Politically.
 Not in years has the political situa- tion been so quiet the week before election as it is at the present time and were it not for the fight on the license question many of the voters would probably forget that they are expected to cast their ballots next Monday. The party leaders report everything is peaceful and they seem- ingly are avoiding a campaign.
 The republican leaders are confi- dent of the success of their ticket and there does not appear to be a dispo- sition on the part of the democrats to question the predictions of victory which the G. O. P. is making 50 freely.
 Seemingly the election on Monday l except for settlement of the license | contest, is simply a gathering of the | voters to formally endorse the repub- | ican candidates and to decide which | 'f the democratic candidates for, con- table will be left out in the cold.
 That First Selectman w. J. John on will be reelected appears to be he consensus of opinion, although it s expected that he will run behind lis ticket by probably fifty votes. w. ;. Hart, his democratic opponent, or ather the democratic nominee is ex- eedingly popular, and against a can- lidate other than MT. Johnson would tand a good chance of election. The present. wearer of the selectman's oga has given the town two good Administrations and has done few hings to injure his standing with he voters. His party has a good ma ority and the surface indications are hat he will be returned to office by
 substantial plurality.
 The candidacy of George s. Bab- ock, who is running independently l or the place, is taken seriously by fir. Babcock. With the rest of the oters his efforts to land the place re interesting only insofar as they ause speculation as to how many otes he will get, the estimates rang ng from ten to twenty
 The candidate himself however, eems confident that he will be we'll imported and he expects to at least ose out ahead of w. c. Hart, get ing the third place on the board.
 Sample ballots have been received t the town clerks office and Bab- ock is having number of circulars rinted explaining how to vote, but the methods to be em- loved in casting a ballot in his favor. hey will probably De distributed to- 1orrow.
 The election of the republican l ominees for every office named on he ballot is practically conceded ven by the most ardent democrats.
