The spearing season has operped and
nightly now those who like this form
of sport are trying their luck with the
suckers that abound under the dams
in the rivers in Danielson. The spear
ing parties usually work in the early
evening.
While no definite statements are
available, it is believed under cur
rents are working for the establish
ment in Killingly of one or more yarn
mills. If this expansion of KIlingly's
textile activities can be brought
about. the town will show greater
growth during the next few years than
| the very substantial growth that has
marked the last decade.
Edward S. Carpenter has disposed
of his interests to Joseph Bodo. Mr..
Carpenter is one of the oldest and
most experienced billposters in south
| ern New England, but illness that he
| suffered during the past winter and
| from which he has not yet wholly re-
| covered, as to regaining his strength,
| was a contributing factor in his re-
! tirement in an occupation that he has
| followed for so long time.
A contract for hauling the coal of
| the Goodyear Mills from the station at
Dayville to Goodyear has been OBJ
| tanned from the mill company by Louis
A. Wolfe of Dayville, 10000 tons a
| year will be hauled.
The annual report of Warden T. E.
| Cunneen is as follows:
| To the Electors of the Borough of
| Danielson
The following report is respectfully
submitted:
, Our debt has been reduced by s4,-
/ 672S9 This reduction is die largely
| to the fact that there has been no
| large sewer construction and by the
careful attention paid by the board of
| hurgeSses to all expenditures. There
would have been a much larger re-
| duction in net debt if it had not been
| for the exceptionally high cost of all
| materials and labor.
| Our borough tax for the last year
was six mills, One-half mill less than
| preceding year, with an extra one-half
! mill to cover the cost of new fire
| truck In your warden's opinion this
| same tax is sufficient for the coming
| year, which tax will be sufficient to
| cover extra cost of all night lighting,
| ard allow reasonable expenditure for
| new sewers and still show a reduction
| of net debt.
AT the annual meeting of the cleo
| tors Of the borough there are several
! special matters of vital interest to the
! borough that must be acted upon, and
every elector who has the interest Of
1.-THE borough at heart should be pres
! ent at this meeting.
| One Of these is the renewal of the
| hydrart cOntre ct with the Crystal Wa
! ter company. This is a very important
matter and should have careful at
| tention. The two recent fires have
| proven without any question that our
| present water supply by itself IS en-
! tircly inadequate, and effective sl1teps
should he taken TO secure value for
rental expended. ] would call to your
attention the fact that this rental is
| practically onc-eighth of the total
amount of tax levied.
! Another matter of Importance is the
| renewal of the contract with The Peo-
PIES Light and Power company, for
street lighting. At present we have
lights only to midnight ana none on
nights that are supposed to be moon
light Our borough is large enough
and of importance enough to have the
! streets properly lighted all night, and
this can de done for an extra expen-
diture Of about 81 900 year.
Our fire department has been put
on a staple basis by the addition OF
an CUP to date fire truck, which has
amply proven itself in the last two
fires. In both cases, namely, the
Decker Garage and the Episcopal
rectory, an entire property loss would
have been incurred if the fire depart
mont had rely on our hydrant sup
ply.
Our police department has done ex-
ceptionally good work during the yeal
and has been almost self supporting
The personal of the active force has
been changed by the appointing Of
John MacF2rland to be chief and the
securing of q capable man to take tbs
night position.
Writer has served you for two
) years as warden and is deeply senst-
BILE of the honor and trust you have
placed in him. On retiring from Of
fee he wishes first to heartily thanh
the board Of burgesses and treasurer
for their full operation and to, as
sure the electors that he has con-
a sidered it an honor and privilege t.
I nave served them.
FREDERICK. E. CUNNEEN.
