In the city there is very general
favor toward the proposition. that will

meeting next week. that the town of
Putnam make an appropriation that

The manner in which owners of pri-
waite cars are cutting into the bust
ness of regularly registered public
service men in and about the city at
present is little less than what the
man in the street would say is raw.
And the worst feature about the whole
fragrant system of violating the law is
that the private car owners are get
ting away with it. They drive boldly
into town and collect their fares right
in the open. The trolley strike has
given them their opportunity to raid
the business prospects of the regular
public service men who are not get
ting any protection after being ohli-
gated by law to pay heavy licenses.

has erected near his place of business
at the corner of Pomfret and Main

subject to an extra charge of 9 per
cent. Collector Bonneville has made
a wonderfully good record as collector,
as good as ever was made in Connec-
ticut. and he does not intend that it
shall be blemished this year.

the man who likes. his beer APPEARED /
unchanged. The downtown places
that have been closed remained clos |
ed and those that have been opened for
the sale of near were as quiet as ;
usual. There seemed good ground for /
the real beer story, however. for no |

as was noted in some quarters.
