PUTNAM

About Q 5O-foot length of the high wall on the southerly side of Pom fret street collapsed during the heavy rainstorln in the early hours of Th1Iursday, morning and slid into the mill yard of the Putnam WooIen company. This is a section of the wall that was mentioned in Thurs days Bulletin as being in dangerous condition.
 It Is believed that the heavy rain- storm and the excavations that have been going on in Pomfret street may have had something to do with the early collapse of the wall, which was in weakened condition, anyway, and probably would have fallen anyway within a few months.
 A whole section of the sidewalk went out with the wall, another sec tion of which,. seems on the verge of topping over. There is big crack clear out into the street along the en- dangered section, which will have to
 be taken down if it does not fall down
 The collapse Of the wall makes ur- gent consideration of matters pertain ing to the rebuilding of it. Corpora ticn Counsel Charles L. Torrey found Thursday in searching out old records that the following is entered in the minutes of a town meeting of Putnam held Aug. 35, 1876:
 i. Upon petition of E. A. Wheelock
 and others. taxpayers of the town of Putnam, showing that the main high way between Putnam and Pomfret at a point near the office Of the Putnam Woolen company on the soutberIy side of said road, is now about 20 feet in width in condition for use; that 1t l gradually narrows for a distance west | erly Of about F rods to about SC feet Sy1 d about 12 rods, more or less, to a point opposite the first tenement house of 1 said Putnam Woolen company to about 40 feet In width. The petition i CTS aver that the road ought to be cut down and Widened to a uniform width of 40 feet between said points, and pe- | tition the town to make such altera-
 ton and improvement.
 l ,. Voted, That the town widen the l highway on the south side between the office of the Putnam Woolen company l and their tenement houses to a uni
 form width of 40 feet and support l about 300 feet of the same by bank
 wall, the Putnam Woolen company to pay so much of the expense as shall exceed s1,5Go.
 MT. Torrey was investigating on
 Thursday to determine whether the
 state highway department can be obli- 1 gated to meet the cost of reconstruct
 ing the wall, which supports a section of trunk line highway. A contractor
 who looked the wall over Thursday af-
 ternoon said that it could not be put ir proper condition for less than s4,5o0. l The 126th annual meeting of the l Windham County Medical society was held at the Putnam inn Thursday, the
 president, Dr. Ernest R. Pike of Wood ! stock, presiding. Physicians were ir
