DANIELSON :.

Private Richard J. Realey. G conn., pany. 102d infantry returned to Camp Devens Tuesday after a brief visit in his old home town. Private Healey, - o0mrade If Private AdelaTd Bar beau, the first pair Of SelecIipe service men ever to leave this district, is look ing splendid. He experienced his full | share of the hard fighting and hard ships of the 102d infantry in France, was gassed and wounded, so is entitled | to liberal showing of gold stripes on his sleeve He has been overseas since early in the fall of 1917.
 As general rule. the public expres- sions over the action of the annual borough meeting in authorizing con- i tract for an all-night- every night street lighting service were ones of satisfaction on Tuesday For the ser vice to be rendered, the additional cost is regarded by good business men as exceedingly reasonable.
 In discussing the all-night service, 1 Justice M. A. Shumway said to the voters that his attention had been call ed to the need of such a service. Among those who favored it were the borough's physicians. who had learned out of their experience that people who are without telephone service found it very .inconvenient to find their way | through unlighted streets to physi ! cians' offices after midnight. And to f all who might be out at the midnight 1 hour it is a danger to have well lighted streets one minute-and darkness the next.
 Attention may be called to the fact | that there are many night workers in | Danielson now. and these, too, will ap- preciate the service that is going to come. The lights will be turned on I 1,1,>x until a half hour before sunrise.
 Those who on Tuesday gave some consideration to what the borough's l probable expenses will be during the present fiscal year feel quite certain that the tax rate of 1-2 mills laid at the annual borough meeting will not raise sufficient money to prevent the borough having a deficit next spring. The feeling seems to be that the tax should have been at least mill higher, l Attention is being called to this pros- pect of deficit in fairness to the new administration, which, it is felt, might be subjected to unjust criticism re- garding finances.
 Chief John Mcfarland of the police department is again sounding an in- 1 sistent warning to motorists who drive through Danielson's business section that they must obey the state automo- bile law that requires them to stop their machines before running past a standing trolley car that is taking on or discharging passengers.
 Chief MacFarland says he does not wish to appear anxious 10 regulate the motorists, but in the interest of the safety of many persons this rule must be obeyed, or arrests most certainly will follow. Warning after warning has been issued without getting the desired result
 Last Sunday afternoon a woman, alghting from car stopped at the terminal here. narrowly missed being run down and probably killed by a man driving q car in manner to in dicate that he never heard of or didn't care about it if he had, the law that required him to bring his machine to a stop.
 The chief recognizes the rights of the motorists, but he is also on his jot to look out for the safety Of other .peo- c pie, who have rights on earth. ,s Chairman F. z.
