Norwich bulletin., 1917-01-23

this city if the big fabric company at Williamsville builds it's own freight passenger service. from Williamsvi1le. to some point near Alexander's lake. It is conceded both in Putnam and Danielson that if Williamsville reaches the development it is now expected to within the next few years that the growth of it's own business section will take care of mach of the trade there; but there will be a great deal of out of town trading and 1t is after this that the business organizations of the two towns mentioned are looking and preparing to get.

 Reports of the secretary and treas urer read at the annual meeting showed much of interest.

 New Ties Distributed.
 Hundreds of new railroad ties have been distributed along the Norwich branch of the New Haven road by the crew of the work train that operates laid during the coming spring and summer. It is stated that the rail- road company has sufficient work planned out for the New London-Wor- cester route to keep the construction train crew busy during all of 1917. this work to include the laying of much new iron.
 What Might Happen.
 Those who are interested in seeing Putnam add another motor truck to it's fire department were calling at tention Monday to some of the possi- bilities of depending on one truck, as the city does at present, though it has it's horse drawn apparatus. Among the possibilities cited was that an en- zine may not start. as occurred in one town recently, the motor truck then being drawn to the fire by horses An other was that town having a single truck saw the vehicle wrecked against a tree when it skidded on it's way to a fire, and still another case of where the solitary truck owned by little city burned with the station house in which it was stored. These, it was pointed out, were but possibilities but might happen nevertheless, leaving the city possibly subject to a disastrous fire loss. due to lack of fire fighting apparatus.
