PUTNAM AUTO HITS WAGON

While driving a party to Hartford in his automobile last Sunday, Felix Dufault, public automobile owner. narrowly escaped hitting two men walking in the road, and in his endea- vor not to hit them came in collision with q wagon.
 According to Mir Dufault he blew his horn for the two men as he was passing through Bolton. They paid no attention to the signal, and when he saw that they did not intend to move he acted quickly and turned his machine to one side. Just as he did so horse and carriage loomed up in front of him, and he could not avoid the collision. The machine took of front wheel of the carriage and . lady was thrown out, receiving a few scratches The auto was considerably damaged. Mfr. Dufault's passengers hired another car and proceeded on their journey while he returned to Putnam.

PUTNAM BOYS GIVE NEW YORK
 THE "ONCE OVER"

Roderick Miller, Leo Benoit and Lionel Marion have returned from New York. Theysgaye the big town the once over and now compare 1t to Putnam. but as comparisons are odl- ous we will not tell just how they view the cities by relative estimation.
 Besides taking in the bright light district from 1 4th street to 42nd, and farther north, they went to Bronx park and saw the animals, birds, fish, etc, but nothing to compare with our own Cargill falls. They saw a show at the Winter Garden and voted It more lively than the movies. They went over to Bedloe's Island and got a close view of the Statue of Liberty and found it much larger than they expected to see.
 Wednesday they went up to the Polo grounds and saw an interesting base ball game between the Giants and Chicago It was an enjoyable trip to all but the strange part of It was that no one seemed to especially notice that three of Putnam's eiti- zens were in the metropolis, neither while they were there or after they came away This proves that Putnam newspapers are more keen for news than the New York journals that fail ed to chronicle the arrival or depart ure of the three Putnam sightseers.

VOTES S75,O00 FOR
 WATER PLANT
Steps Will Immediately Be Taken Leading Up to Be-
 ginning Actual Work
Hopes That New Pipe Line May Be
 Laid Before Next Winter

The expenditure of s75 ,000, only intereste. 2t3 Putnam citizens suff- ciently so that they went to the muni- cipal building between 10 o'clock a m and 3 o'clock D. n., last Friday and voted for or against the unusually large appropriation which was asked for to improve the city's public water system The appropriation was made, the vote being 40 yes, and 103 no.
 An unlocked for active contest over the matter developed during the day Notices were distributed both urging the voters to vote for the approp~ia- ton and also to vote against it. l. the afternoon real activity developed when one or more automobiles were used in taking voters to the polls. This was resorted to when 1t Was found that some active work was be ing done to block the appropriation, and the vote in the afternoon was larger than in the morning.
 The abnormally high cost of install ling the new pipe line, for which the appropriation Is made, was urged against it, and there are some who be lieve that the city's water condition at present is such that it can be allowed to wait for while in the hopes that the cost of installation will be lower, or that some cheaper plan may be used Some of these advocates are of the insurance underwriters were mere threats, and that no substantial increase would be made, or, if made. will be made whether or not the new main IS installed.
 On the other hand, the expert hy draulic engineer, the water commis- majority of the council believe that the city Is facing a problem that can not wait They are we'll aware of the enhanced cost of installation at this time, but believe that the situation demands that the price be paid
 It was reported at the last council meeting that the city could not issue any more bonds, but 1t was stated that the money could be borrowed on short time notes. and that private par ties had been found willing to take up the loan This matter of obtaining the money will doubtless be taken up immediately, and when this is settled bids for the contract will be submit ted When the contract Is let the work will be commeneei It will take some time to reach this point but it is be- lieved, if material and labor can be secured without hindrance, the new | line can be laid before the winter shuts in
 With the present ten inch main on Woodstock avenue, and another 16 l inch main. coming down by the Little River road, giving two separate ser vice lines, the engineer states that the situation will be met, at least for the present. but it is not expeeed that this improvement will take care of conditions for long period of time. The step Is in line with the plan as a whole which was submitted by Mr Simons, the engineer, and is one link, and most substantial one, in the chain of improvements.
