committee selected recently to. see about the final disposition of the cot tage. Ex- Mayor Dunn and MT. Mur- phy stated that the cottage, was to be taken to Elks' Park within short time and that this organization tage and keep 1t for its historical value to future generations. The committee representing the Chamber of Commerce, appointed to act with | committee from the Wiilimanttc l Woman's club in the matter agreed | i, that the cottage could be put to no better use than that suggested by the Elks. The matter of having ., waiting station at the end of the trolley line l in the city, however, will not be laid will take action relative to providing the station needed. It is the plan Of 1 this organization to get In touch with the Connecticut Company, request :! ing that they erovide a waiting sta 1 tion at this point as in the past peo- I pie waiting for tfolleys have been forced in many cases to wait In the { rain or snow for some time before the trolley that had been delayed put in an appearance. If the Connecticut l Company cannot provide waiting station the Chamber of Commerce will raise the necessary funds for such building.

 During Wednesday notices were posted in several departments at the American Thread Company that be- 1 ginning Monday, April 13. the plant 1 would operate on the daylight saving plan and that the hours for work
 would be from a. m. until 4.45 p. m.
 with the usual hour for dinner. This
 plan of starting work a half hour
 earlier will give the employees that ex-
 tra half hour during the afternoon.
 This change of time in the working
 hours of this plant will probably be
 adopted by other local plants that ] have been opening at 7.30. One big | advantage in starting a half hour l earlier at the local plants will be that
 the employees will have more daylight
 in which to work in their gardens.
 The number of persons having gar I liens this year Is said to be equal to
 the total tiHing gardens while the
 country. was at war. H. Taking advantage of the holiday Good Friday and the half day Satur-
 day all the textile plants in the city
 have posted notices that the plants
 will close down Thursday night and will not open for work until Easter
 Monday morning. During these days
 an inventory of stock is to be taken al
 the plants.
