THE PRINCE OF PILSEN."

THE Prince of Pilsen," accepted
throughout the English speaking
world as the standard by which
all musical comedy is judged, will
be the attraction at Green wood
Theatre, Thursday. Nov. 18th.
The company presenting it this
season is to disclose an average
of vocal acting excellence rarely
shown. Jess Dandy, the creator
of the role of Hans Wagner, Ed
ward T. Mora, who played the
Prince for years, and Dorothy
Delmore, the original Jimmie-the-
bell-boy, are still members of the
cast. Frank Pixley provided a
humorous-romantic story, deftly
ingenius in its complications and
picturesquely placed on the shores
Of the Mediterranean under the
blue skies of the Riviera. Such a
story was an inspiration to the
composer and from Gustav
Luders' pen came a rush of har-
monies that fitted the lyrics and
gave to the entertainment such
songs as The Message of the
Violet" Pictures in Smoke"
The Song Of the Cities" H eidel-
berg" The Tale Of the Sea
She'll" and a dozen others. Jess
Dandy, who in the role of Hans
Wagner, q Cincinnati brewer, has
princely honors thrust upon him,
is said to be ideal comedian for
the part-his personality exudes
humor and his facility for exact
ing the last essence of comedy
from q typical song or parody
gave him distinction as an enter
tainer long before he found his
true measure in musical comedy.
Miss Mabel Harris, dashing, chic
and graceful will be seen as the
gracious widow and this charac-
ter IS said to have never been
more charminely outlined. Other
members of the cast are Florence
Hensel, Helen Fitzpatrick, Irene
Duke, Earle McHaffie and George
Meyers. In feviving this musical
comedy classic, the organization
was equipped with an entire new
scenic production and costumes.

NEARLY $4,000 SAVED.
Policy of Rigid Economy Has Note
worthy Result, SeIectmen's Books
Show.

Figures available now at the select
mems Office show a rather remarkable
reduction in the amount of orders
drawn by the selectmen this year over
the total amount drawn last year. This
has been accomplished by the most
rigid economy in all departments of
town business involving the expendi-
ture of money and by cutting down
expense for new work to the lowest
possible notch.
The total amount of orders drawn
by the selectmen this year is for a
total of $27.319S3; last years total
was S37, 22S.5S, a difference in gross
amount of nearly $4,000. The select
mems credits this year. these repre-
senting money received from the state
and from all other sources Of revenue,
amount to $10,176.39. something less
than last year, when the credits were
So, 505.77. The amount of orders
drawn by the selectmen this year, less
the credits. is s17.14339. last year less
the credits, S24.722.S1.
The total road expense including all
repairs. during the past year has been
$6,13456 and less the credits on this
account the road cost for the twelve
months covered b. the reports about
to be issued will be brought down to
approximately $500.

CONTRACT AWARDED,
Meriden Company 10 Lay Permanent
Pavement.

At the office Of the state highway
commissioner in Hartford Wednesday
1t was said that the contract for the
permanent pavement of Main street
from the bridge to Reynolds street has
been awarded to the Connecticut
Rhode Island Ameisite company of
Meriden, the concern with which
Wayne Robinson of that city is iden-
tilted. The material to be used is
ameisite, the same as was put down
two years ago in the business center
of Putnam, and which has proved to
be a durable, fine looking paving.
Trap rock is to be used exclusively
in laying the foundation for the new
street surfacing, no native stone being
acceptable. State Highway Commits
sioner c. J. Bennett is to take up
tomorrow details Of the work with
the contracting company, which must
begin work within ten days after re-
ceiving the order to do so, and it is
not anticipated that there will be any
delay in giving the order
Amcisite is laid over much the same
kind of foundation as is macadam.
The street is eNcavated to about the
same depth. The first or bottom layer
of crushed rock is of the course va
riety, the next finer crushed. These
layers of crushed rock after they have
been Thoroughly rolled, are given a
coating of material that resembles
tar and later rolled again. The top
surfacing just before it is applied is
sticky mass of what looks like as
phalt and exceedingly fine crushed
stone. This dressing is thoroughly
heated by steam before it is applied
and then spread by the workers with
as great rapidity as possible, tamped
and at once given A first rolling It
is, after receiving the full rolling treat
uent, thoroughly sanded. The surface
hardens rapidly and becomes ready to
bear traffic in a very few days.
The building of the new street will
allow of doing away with crosswalks

Probability That Street improvements
Will Be Begun at Once.

4 meeting Of the highway commit
tee of the common council was held
Wednesday afternoon 70 discuss the
matter OF going ahead with the plans
for Improving streets Of the city in
accordance with the vote of the spe-
cial city meeting Tuesday.
The committees deliberations had to
do with which part Of the work will
be taken up first and as to replacing
street and other such considerations.
Such suggestions as the comnfttee
may conclude to offer to the common
council relative to the work will be
submitted to that body for approval
before any definite action is taken.
Unless a special meeting of the COM
mon council is called to hear what
ever the highway committee may have
to suggest the matter will not come
up before the first Tuesday in Sep
TENDER.
There seems to be an inclination.
however, to avoid all unnecessary de-
lay, so that the improvement work
may be started as quickly as possible
and concluded, il possible. before cold
weather becomes a hindrance.
The Putnam Light and Power COM
pany is to replace pipes in some Of
the streets to be paved before the i'm
provement begins. This company may
put a new 4-inch main in Union street

from May to Providence. a 10-inch
