DANIEL SON

proportions on Feb. 2. Nearly three 1 inches of snow came down during the forenoon to hinder traffic and make ] still harder the labors of those who are trying to get travelled ways back into reasonable decent condition for use. Trains continued to run off schedule ] and the main dependence of Danielson l people, so far as transportation facili ties were concerned, were buses. All means of travel by public conveyance l to points south was limited to three trains, which ran far off schedule time. L. s. Barstow, who was in Danielson 1 during the day from East Killingly, stated that 30 men, working steadily during all of Monday, managed to open l just one mile of the Rhode Island | companys line leading from Provi- denee to this town. The line had been i cleared as far as RockIand, R. l.. by l Monday evening
 1 Mir. BaPstow also told of how East 1 Killingly milk producers, in order to i fulfill their contracts, are bringing I their milk to Danielson and shipping | to Worcester, from which city it is] 1 sent southward to Preyidence-a roundabout route, but the only one now available. l L W. Davis, deputy state entemolo- gist, said Tuesday noon that the roads 1 are in terrible condition out in the country districts. During Monday his l crews managed to do some scouting by i travelling on top of the snow crust. He 1 told of a man and his son. who live near Ballouyille, being obliged to i shovel a road from their home to a 1 main highway, a distance of half a i mile.
 The heavy crust on the snow has l been the means of cutting into the legs, i of horses and oxen that have been in af feS ka &k- 1 highways, so that many owners of ] these animals no longer will permit i them to be used for relieving the 1 blockade.
 l Oxen, especially. it has been found, 1 are of little use in this section in l breaking out roads, for when these 1 animals break through the crust into 1 the deep snow they are unable to 1 withdraw their legs and become ma l reoned and themselves have to be shoyeled out.
 l On thes Church street route in the town of Brooklyn there are some ex- l ceptionally deep drifts, as also is the
 case on the direct state highway be-
 tween Danielson and Wauregan.
