City Water
Looks Better

Have you noticed lately how much
clearer the city water is than it was
formerly? Well just lay it to the
new settling tank.
Mr.. Holman, the superintendent OF
the water and light plant, and the
Board of Public Works have been
busy getting the tank in readiness,
there being a number of little things
to see to before it is entirely COM
pleted in all the details.
Among the things which must yet
be seen to is the washing out of the
reservoir thoroughly and flushing the
mains.
The improved condition Of the city
water has been the occasion of
many favorable comments in the lass
few days.

Following Sundays arrests of au- tomobilists in Willimantic, for vioiat- ing a state traffic regulation by fafl- ure to sound horns at approach of side streets. observers from this place who were in Willimantic Tuesday have some interesting comment to make on the efficiency of the Willimantic po- lice.
 At one corner Tuesday, these ob- servers have stated, about a dozen motor vehicles rolled along without sounding horns, as required by law, but there were no arrests. It is being commented upon throughout the coun- ty, too, that there was a remarkable scarcity of arrests of Willimantic res- idents in Sundays big haul This, of chance, but it doesn't look we'll to the drivers from other towns. No one disputes the Willimantic police departments right to arrest | drivers for failing to sound their horns upon approaching side streets-that's s according to law-but they do, in some
 cases, put it up to Willimantic pretty
 strong for not having street signs that are visible to drivers for at least 100 feet, so that a driver may know when he is expected to give warning of his
 cars approach.
 | It looks to the observers from this section that what is good practice or Sunday-as to arresting motorists should be fairly good practice fol week days. for then Willimantic driv- CTS might find themselves about to ap- pear before the court, as most al drivers would were this particular
 ruling rigidly enforced at. all times.

In order to encourage the sheep in- dustry in Windham county, the Far n1ers' Association with the coopera tion of the Connecticut Agricultural College, has made arrangements to rent pure bred Shropshire rams own ed by the college, to approved farmers in Windham county.

 In general, the renting will be con- fined to those farmers who want to build up and improve their sheep. Tine number of bucks to be rented this | year is limited to five, and farms must be approved by the county az ricultural agent and A. G. Skinner, of the agricultural college, before being allotted an animal.
 | Farmers renting a ram will be eX- pected to follow out certain instrQc- | tions regarding care and management l of the animal
 In case a rented buck dies, the lia- hiIity of loss will be decided upon by a committee composed of G. H. Sum- l County Agent B. w. Ellis, but in nc case will such liability exceed 50 pei cent of the value of the anima agreed upon at the time of rental. .
 The present plan calls for renta fee of $10 per season. service to be limited to 50 to 60 ewes per ram Rams will be transferred from one farm to another, and in case three ol four farmers use the same. animal the charge will be pro rated.
 Rams will be ready to be placed or
  ner in Windham county interested il improving his present flock or in rais ing sheep, is urged to get in toucl with the county agent. Application for renting bucks should be filed witt the county agent as soon as possible in order to assist in the arrangement for routing, etc. Farmers rentini rams must he members of the Farm CTS Association.
