There was a little improvement during Saturday and some more dur ing Sunday in travelling conditions in this territory, but even with the opening of the workdays of the pres ent week what this section has been able to do toward digging itself out of the snow drifts does not amount to much toward restoring normal conditions.
 As the NLord sent the snow. so, too. He Will be expected to do most of the work in taking it away. People know that there is trolley track buried under the depths, because they have seen the line many times in better days; but the week closed , without any effort being made to clear it and resume traffic
 Freight service on the. New Haven road is expected to be working some where near normally by today (Mon- day), but Saturday very little was being done. Sidings are blocked with masses Of snow yet though sfoveIers worked Saturday and Sunday <to dig out these lines so that the cars stall ed upon them may be hauled out and
 others put in their places.
 On Saturday the bus lines operat-
 ing out of Danielson had managed to
 get machines through to Attawaugan on the north, but the sogthward lines to Brooklyn, Central Village and
 Moosup were still tied up. Sunday brought some Improvement and full
 service will be resumed today if the 1 state highways can be broken out sufficiently to allow motor vehicle traffic.
 Putnam was out of reach of Dan- sielSon people on Saturday and Sum- T hJIA c.fgn | and these were so few and far be- tween as to furnish little accommo- datioll and the same was true as to reaching any point to the south. East and west of DanieIson highways were broken out by crews of men and teams, but the job was an ardu-
 ous one and will not be completed so as to make travel attractive for days to come.
 The lack of freight, trolley and
 motor express service began to make iaself seriously felt during Saturday in shortage of perishable feodstuffs
 in Danielson and surrounding towns. Scores of housewives who depend on
 Providence bakeries and upon firms from other towns and cities to bring bread to Danielson found that not a loaf from these out of town purvey- ors could be obtained. Local bakers were so rushed with orders that it was difficult for them to meet the. de- n1and and it was case of bake at
 home or go without bread for many
 families.
 Supplies of fresh neat were run ming low on Saturday, but it was possible to have this class of sup plies brought in here through the ! American Railway Express. In some, sections hereabouts the | highways were in worse condition on 1 Saturday than at any time since the big storm commenced last Wednes- day night. On the Day street route l to the Woods Hill section there were some huge drifts through which men
 were digging to make any passing of ! the route possible. Some farmers, | driving pungs took to the fields to l get into the borough.
 The tie-up of the transportation lines proved injurious to Danielson's
 trade on Saturday. when only a very
 few out of town people managed to l get to town.
 i To meet any emergency the Dan i ie1son fire department has a sleigh 1 loaded with hose and other appara- 1 tas in order that they may be able to make quick response to any fire
 alarm. With the emergency outfit the | fremen will be able to quickly get te any part of the borough.
 1 Public schools will resume their sessions this morning after being closed since last Wednesday on ac- count of the storm, and it is expected ! that the mills will have a full force l of operatives back today. One local mill had 175 operatives absent or [ Thursday and nearly as large num- Der Friday.
 1 The big motor express lines bring 1 ing supplies to mills here from Mass 1 chusetts cities are not furnishing I service, though it is hoped that they 1 win resume the early part of this week. One monster truck that ar
 rived here, loaded with beams, Thurs i day afternoon, has been tied up ever
 since, at the plant of the Connecticut mills.
 In connection with the storm news I mention must be made about the mo- ral obligation of keeping ones side
 walks cleaned. In the business sec
 ton ythe majority have made the walks passable and in some cases en-
 tiFely free from snow and ice. Others | however, are inviting calamity to the public by negligence as regards the 1 sidewalks in front of offices and 1 places of business.

 Announcements have been made through a New Haven brokerage firn i that $600000 of the cumulative frs preferred per cent stock of the Connecticut Mills company is offered
 to the public. The prospectus statei | that for the calendar year 1920 ne
 earnings of this company, after fed
 eral taxes are paid, are estimated a $1.00o, 900.
