REDUCE GRAND
 LIST S7l5,92O
Board of Relief Find Mill Machinery Is
 Too High
Largest Reduction in Years

The board of relief of the town of Putnam filed their return today with the town clerk. The report shows a reduction on the grand list as comril- ed by the board of assessors of SPA, l20 and additions made amounting to SS, 200, making a net decrease of S2l5,- 920. This reduction is believed to be the largest made by any board Of relief in years.
 The largest reductions, are made on the machinery in the mills of two of the largest cotton manufacturing con- cerns in the city, the Putnam Manu. featuring Company and the Morse Nightingale Company,
 The board claims that these manu- lecturers convinced them that the assessment was great deal more than made in other factories of the same kind in other places and would work a hardship on them. They say that the board of assessors admitted when the matter was brought to their attention thst possibly they had made their ap praisal too high and were willing that reduction be made.
 The reductions made were as follows:
 Lydia Flagg, pen resident, $50.
 Asa NJ. Ross, on land, $500.
 Eureka Silk Company, on stock, S4,5O0.
 George w. Perry, S70.
 k. II. and l.. k. Bradley on Hotel Chickering property, S3,5t0.
 Joseph H. Maynard, S200.
 Moses Aldrich, $500.
 Ellen NJ. Bugtee estate, as decided by the superior court on appeal, S9, ,S75.
 Putnam Manufacturing Company $S7, 1920.
 Nightingale Morse Co.,, S1l7, TOO.
 C. R. Brown, $25.
 The increases made were:
 Addition to the stock of the Byron D. Bugbee department store, $S,0 900.
 Alexander A. Houghton on musical instruments, $200.
 Notwithstanding the above reduc- tions the grand list remains the largest It ever was. In 1915 the total was $4, ,229, ,854. In ,1916, with reductions subtracted, 1t amounts to $4, ,S9S ,306, 6 net gain for the year of S444, ,452.

 the captain of police from Sl003 year to Sl150 year and the patrolmen from $S21 to 1925 Il year, an increase of ap- proximately fifteen percent. This will not go into effect until after the annual city meeting as the necessary appropriation will have to be voted and the increase enacted as an ordi- nance.
 It was stated that money appropri Ated for special purposes had been used for other purposes than as appropriat- ed. Alderman Padgett cited instances where the city had appropriated money to take care of interest or the reduction of certain debts and it had never been done but the money had apparently been spent for the running expenses of the city. He said there was no reduction in the debts for which appropriations were made nor I did the city report show any sinking fund acquired. He thought some sys- tenn should be devised 10 remedy this so that the appropriations should be spent as made and not used for other purposes.
 Appropriations were made as follows:
 Fire department-$5,S 800, an increase of s600. This appropriation was made with the understanding that $500 of the amount be used to reduce the debt accruing from the special appropria- tion of Sl ,5O0 for the purchase of a fire truck.
 Police 100, an in- crease of $400.
 Street lights-$5, TOO, the same as last year. It was further voted that the matter of an all-night lighting system be left to the voters and that a clause be inserted In the call asking the voters to vote on the question as to whether they will appropriate not more than a thousand dollars for this extension of service. The general expense of for. mer years was divided, 5000 was ap- pTopriated as general expense &C.,
 
 to take care of the interest accruing on the city debt Last year the general expense appropriation was S6,OOO.
 For city treasurer, city clerk and sewer upkeep-each amount was $500, same as last year.
 For city court-$l ,610, an increase of S100 to take care of a small deficit.
 Janitor-$360.
 Light and fuel-$z50, for interest and reducing debt of special street im- provements, 1915 l6, Sl, ,s0J.
 It was voted to recommend a 4 mill tax and in event that the all night lighting service is votei tax of ' 1-2 mills. An additional tax of 2 mills is recommended to reduce the sewer debt the same AS last year. The general tax last year was mills. It was voted to install two electric lights on the Little River road near c. Nj. Rents residence.
 The ordinance committee was direct ed to have notices posted regarding the dumping of ashes in streets. Voted that 1t was the sense of the council that trolley loop be built in the city. A committee of four, in. cluding the mayor as chairman, was appointed to meet the road officials re- gard!ng the matter and to call on the local senator and representatives for their cooperation and assistance. The other members of the committee are Aldermen Johnson, Dupre ndPadgett.

War Time and Vacations

The State Board of Health often hands out
some advice that is every citizen might follow
with profit A late bulletin has the following to
say on vacations:
Don't think you can't afford vacation when
probably the truth Of the matter is you can't at
ford not to take some time off to refresh your
mind and see yourself from another point of
view. It is too often the case when people get
in ruts that they think the business can't run
without them, that they are indispensable to its
maintenance, etc. Vacations are good to help
fellow get true perspective of himself, to see
what he really is and how he stands in relation
to other people and things Then, too, it is real
economy for it makes health. And yet that is
not the best part or the real purpose of a vaca-
ton.
1.-THE best vacation is when all worries and
cares are left behind and self is given over to
period of recreation. A change is always bene-
ficial. Pleasant surroundings and good food
are stimulating, but the spending of money is not
absolutely essential. To be most benefited from
vacation one does not have to be surfeited with
pleasure or burdened with attention and amuse-
ments. One should, however, cultivate vaca-
ton attitude,-to let down and forget, to take
care of self, but not to become selfish.
But vacation that disregards all health
laws will be failure. One cannot outrage
ture and escape her penalties. An overcrowded
stomach will balk sooner or later. Continued
loss of sleep will have its price. Filth whether
drunk in water or milk or gotten from flies or
dirty fingers will work it's usual dire results.
Health laws cannot be too closely followed for a
successful vacation

The Rights Of the Church Goer

The man who goes to church has certain
rights that must be respected.
The man who encroaches on some of the
rights of the church goers is the autoist and cycl
list who on Sunday morning takes particular de-
light in honking up and down North and South
streets.
Many of the substantial churches of the city
are located on this street, which is popular with
motorists because of its asphalt construction.
An auto driver need not hit the crossings with
such squirt of speed that he need announce his
coming half block off by footing his siren. The
whole advantage is with the driver. Hundreds
of worshippers in the churches complain that
they are excessively annoyed because part of the
homiletical discourses are drowned out by the
noise signals of the autos
Church services are conducted about two
hours. During this time, auto owners might
forego the pleasure of honking at every crossing.
Slow down to give the preacher chance.
