DANIELSON

built this year.
 Henry H. Davenport, state highway de- | partment inspector in Windham county, l states that bids for building these vited by the state highway department, | for opening on May IS.
 NIT. Davenport further states that there is no truth in the reports that bids for the work were received recently and re- jected. because of the excessive cost. Not a bid came to the state highway depart. ment for this particular work, MT. Dav- enport says, and he has been assured by an engineer of the state highway de- partment
 The story to the effect that bids had been received and rejected appeared orig inally in Hartford paper.
 The announcement that bids are again being sought will prove encouraging to the people of Danfelson and surround ing towns, which territory is developing very rapidly and is in direct need, for business purposes-motor trucking and the lilSe-of the stretches of highway that would give one continuous state highway line into Providence.
 The highway east and west isn't want ed to tickle anyone's fancy or to boost local pride, but to permit of the uninterf- rupted development of all that part of Windl1am county which the route would 1 traverse.
 A tremendous amount of motor traf- fc. freighting. is now passing over out of the way routes to get into this terri tory. Building of the new highway 1 would relieve that situation.
 | Damiano Braconi of Webster avenue Long Island City. came back to Daniel son Friday morning and appeared before 1 Judge w.. F. Woodward in the town court to answer to charges of violating ] the motor vehicle law. He was the drir- 1 CT of the truck that was held up here l Wednesday evening by Inspector Ralph l c. Young, for being equipped with only 1 one headlight. Friday morning he paid S10 and costs for breaking the law As
 he. drove away, apparently going home l 1t was noticed that the truck still had I but one headlight.
 1 Postmaster Raymond Allen and other members of the post office force do not l take at all kindly to the published sug- gestion that they go back to the old ar l rangement of keeping the post office open until 7.SO D. m. During the present week l the office has been closing at 630 D. m. 1 after being open 1S hours, or from 5.3O
 a. m. The boys are getting up at 1 a. m. these days and are really on duty
 clearing up the days work until nearly ' D. m. They think that is about long enough, being somewhat in excess ot
 the much talked of eight hour day l Postmaster and clerks would prefer the
 old schedule-6.30 a. m. to 730 D. m | tVbqut Danielson is out of tune with tn,
 rest of this part of the country as to
 keening time. and this fact imposes hardships on the post office force that art
 sufficient without adding more.
 l Post office regulations state that tn
 schedule of clerks and carriers must b. based upon mail train schedules in or
 der to maintain the most expeditions de
 livery and dispatch of mails.
 Postal laws also require to arranr,
 schedules for all clerks and carriers oi
 basis of hours labor within 10 con secutive hours. Hence all men who report
 at 5.30 a. m. must be through at 3.S0 D IT.
 Regarding the public having to gobbl, their supper to get to the post office be. fore 6.20 ?. m. the postal men have tc sobh1e their breakfasts to get on the jol at 5-30 and a. nn.. and the night mer do not have opportunity to get their sup per until or after.
 In regard to the man who returns a { I.So D. m. to put up the mail for tn boat train at 7.56 p. m, this mail clos ed at 6-30 ?. m. and is carried to tn, station before p, nl ift possible. Tn idea that any man should come in a 7.30 p. m. to dispatch the mail on tn 7.a6 D. m. train is evidence of lack o ! knowledge of the mail business. as
 regularly requires from 45 minutes t q me hour or mora to prepare this mail fo ! lispatch. The local Cost office force j 5 willing to do anything possible to ac | oornmodate the public, but experience ha ' taught them that when the office clos 3 ed at 7.30 p. m the same people wer late as they are now ft A few bus drivers and automobf 7 mechanics. 25 to 30 years of age. ca E find steady employment, at good wage at the Danielson Garage.-adv. ki A spring institute for Sunday scho si workers. under the auspices of the Wint ham County Sunday School .associatio is to be held at the Congregation Fl church in Dayville, Sunday afternoo B Rev.
