PUTNAM

Monday noon that he will call the att | tention of the state board of health to | the fact that Putnan's supply of city | water from the municipally owned plant !, is now coming through to consumers without being filtered. MT. Perry said l that he considered that the use of unfl- tered water by Putnam people is haz- ardous and he complained because the
 city water department has not given
 public notice that the water has been
 coming through recently without pass | ing through the filters. He further
 stated that three members of his fam
 ily-Mrs. Perry Miss Gertrude Perry | and Gilbert Perry-were i'll on Monday | and that while he had no definite means l of knowing what caused their illness he attributed it to the water they have been | drinking
 A trio of men charged with having been intoxicated appeared in the city
 court Monday morning. Christopher Garland, who has been employed in mill here for the past five weeks, paid s2o and costs of $11.14 for his spree. | Adelard Rondon, of Lowell, was sirni- larly assessed. John E.. Dillon, plead ing of misfortunes that have occurred in
 his family recently, paid somewhat lesser amount than the other two. Garland and Dillon said that their booze came from Pascoag. the famous Rhode Island oasis. Rondon. who is employed on construction work here, saia
 he obtained his supply in Lowell. While small orders are dribbIinE in to some of the manufacturers whose plants here have been closed for weeks the volume of new business is not sufficient as yet to warrant the reopening of the plants. A representative of one wooien g has booked orders for about 200 new l pieces, but this is not a sufficiently large lot to warrant re-opening the plant. As
 the woolen industry is now well through
 it's readjustment period it is felt. how
 ever, that there will be some good news . about the reopening of local plants in I the not distant future.
