Putnam, Conn, Feb. &c, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City Of Putnam:
The Putnam Chamber of Commerce
held an open meeting on Thursday.
Feb. "a. 1916, for a discussion Of the
problem of garbage disposal By a
viva voce vote the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Voted: That the Chamber OF Com
merce recommend to the city council
that some definite action be taken for
the disposal of garbage.
Stanton d. Wicks Of Pomfret sent
US a letter Offering to take up this
work. Enclosed you will please ind
copy of his letter and proposed form
of contract, and suggestions regarding
ordinances.
We are convinced that the general
sentiment of the citizens is almost
unanimously in favor of the city's col
Iecting and disposing of all wastes. and
that such action should be taken De-
fore another summer.
Our study, led by a capable com-
mittee, leads US to conclude that gar
bage, ashes, paper and other wastes
should be treated as parts of the same
problem. Furthermore, it is our Judg-
ment that whatever arrangements may
be possible now, ultimately this service
will cost the city money.
The results of our study into this
problem and it's solution in other COM
munities are entirely at your disposal
and anything we can do to assist Will
be gladly done.
A COPY of this letter is being sent
10 tie ordinance committee, to whom
we understand this matter has been
referred. and copies go also to the
public press.
Respectfully submitted.

MANY of our up to date local, in

freely discussed. That Pine Grove
grange resolution which has started
the throwing of brick bats and bou-

will be up for adoption or rejection.
Such questions as county road master.
Columbia highway extension. the Ferris
irrigation bill now before congress, the
Southern Pacific land grant swindle.
U. 5. preparedness, and many other
questions of like importance may be
pulled out in the arena of investigation
and acted upon at this meeting. In
fact, we can not even guess just what
these organized farmers will do at this

ROAD MAY BE
PUSHED TO EAST

The state highway commission last
week passed resolution to expend
$50, 900 on the Columbia highway be-
tween Hood River and Mosier, provided
Wasco couny issues bonds to build the
highway between The Dalles and Mos
ier.
A delegation from Wasco county
appeared before the commission and
also asked that the county be permit
ted to build its link of the Columbia
highway over Seven Mile hill, instead
of along the river. This last request
was also granted. 1t was made plain
that If the link between Hood River
and Mosier costs more than 100000,
Hood River and Wasco counties must
make up the balance.
The commission reiterated its con-
tention embodied in a resolution a few
weeks ago that counties must maintain
highway constructed by state aid. En-
gineer Lewis was instructed to write
Hood River county grange that had
forwarded some resolutions complain
ing against having counties maintain
the roads, and make it plain that the
highway commission had never at any
time pledged itself to MAINTAIN roads
constructed with state aid.

Ski Party Has Fun Here

G. E. Warner, q member of the Port.
land Y. M. c. A. SKI club, who was in
the valley week before last, points out
in an article in Sundays .Oregonian
some fun that the party had here.
"We were comfortably ensconced
and getting ready for bed. when the
noise of coasting attracted Us. and
about nine of US climbed the hill some
three-qurters of a mile, finding a bob
sled owner whose women guests of the
evening had just left and who was glad
to have the ballast of our combined
weight.
"About ton of US got onto his SLED
and the way we took that combination
of hills and street corners would have
opened your eyes. There were four
corners to turn and our weight gave
US a speed of some 25 miles or so an
hour. We rounded the last turn with
the inside runners in the air, the first
time. After that we leaned harder,
but we got plenty of thrill at that"
MIR. Warner says that no man in Ore
gon is more experienced in the hand
ling of skis than Mark Weygandt, the
guide for the Portland Snowshoe club
recently. He praises Mr.. and Mrs. e.
A. Bell for the comforts provided by
them for the members of the recent
outing party.
