PUTNAM

the truthfulness of town clocks, it would have been jared Monday if he | happened to live in Putnam.
 At noon by sun time, as many call | it, it was either 12 o'clock or i O. i clock, depending upon which particu- | in this normally well balanced city, | and the average man, and woman, too, looked and wondered.
 The daylight saving plan, as it has | been inaugurated here this season, l has slipped several cogs,. and emer- gency measures to offset the confu- sion that has resulted were being taken Monday.
 There was significane in the glee with which visitors from Pomfret, l Woodstock Killingly and other towns flashed their watches at one and in sisted that they had the right time the so called "sun- time"-and that the clock on the tower of the Second Congregational church, showing day. light saving time, was jollying Put nam people along. Manifestly the hereabouts don't like daylight saving time They had one on Putnam Mon day, ebut matters will be adjusted, it Is now indicated, so that everybody will be more or less satisfied and bus mess will not be upset,
 Warren Ames, representing the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, said Monday afternoon that the business men have agreed to keep open stores during the present week on the "old" time. Most of the mills. too. are sticking to the old schedule of time I measuring, but there will be a change next week, when, it is now expected, : | the mills and stores will adopt the | daylight saving time.
 l Very few people are observing the | daylight saving plan here yet, though
 one or two industries and some groups of workers went on the new
 schedule Monday morning.
 It happens to be unfortunate that
 Putnam is the only community in this
 part of the county that has declared
 officially in favor of daylight saving,
 but an adjustment that will fix | standard time for all of this terri
 tory is to be looked for at an early
 late, when more towns, especially
 those that are industrial centers, will
 take up the daylight saving plan.
 The dual standard of time here was
 responsible Monday for some anus
 'ng occurrences and of others that
 were not so funny.
 Take, for instance, the case of 2
 child born between midnight and O.. , lock of Sunday. There's bound tc
 be an argument over his birthday some students of this great question ; will tell you.
 1I Judge George E. Hinman has au | thorized the issuing oe an injunction
 in the case of Victor Peloquin vs. Jul , Jus Laf1amme, heard in the superio court here during the March term.
 The property mentioned in the fol lowing memorandum of decision is To
 cated on Providence street, this city 7 where the plaintiff and defendant als
 are resident:
 ,l It is found from the evidence sup f plemented by personal inspection 0 the locous by the court, made b. . agreement of counsel that the stair :, l way in question was built subsequen to. instead of previous to, Novembe f | IS. 1904, and hence was not in ex d istence at the date of the conveyanc f from defendant to plaintiffs granto - If the fee of the entire passway be , tween the buildings was in the de z. fendant the question as to whethe . the stairway constitutes an obstruc - tion to the reasonable or pEoner us
 of the passway would be, to say tn z least, much more doubtful than it
 under the existing conditions. How 'r ever. since the boundary line betwee ldAiQ anu ltldI OL the U( T fendant is approximately in the cer a ter of the passway as it existed at Il y time of the grant. and the erection v the stairway leaves but three fe le nine inches of clear space between u TS outer side thereof and defendant lo boundary line. less than one-half IL the reasonable width of a driyewa [, although ample space remains b. "a tween the stairway and plaintifi ,- building. the effect of the erection
 the stairway is to divert the burd, l. of the driveway largely onto plail 24 tiff's land. For this reason I col is slider said stairway an obstruction o- to which an injunction should pro- e. erly be granted.
