 Approximately 20 appeals have been
 received by the members of the board of relief of the town of Killingly, the largest number coming Monday of this
 week. All of the appeals will be care fully investigated by the board. A Norwich truck knocked over and damaged the silent cop that done duty

 The grip that has been attacking
 many Danielson people seems o be subsiding. Many are confined to their homes by illness. but none are con- sidered as in dangerous condition. The improvement of Mrs. Charles
 Ray. Brooklyn. who has been a patient at the Day Kimball hospital for the
 past three weeks, is slow, but her re- covery is anticipated by her rela- lives and friends.
 Interviews with many taxpayers, whose assessments have been increas- ed indicate that they will not greatly ! regret the advances made by the as sessors if a lower tax rate is to be l expected, and this now seems likely. It is probable that the improvement 1 of the state highfay links between Hampton and Brooklyn and between at the same time during the coming 1 spring and summer. but months will be required to do the work that has ! been planned.
 1 Ice covered streets, deep with ruts, gave the automobilists hard time of it managing their cars in Danielson on 1 Wednesday. Especially along streets
 through which the trolley line runs 1 did the drivers of the motor vehicles
 have their troubles when ears came
 along. Tn North Main street during the i early afternoon four motor vehicles l were in the ruts and could not get out i when a trolley car came along until,
 after long effort, they managed to
 crawl out and let the car pass. Drivers | describe the condition of the streets l due to the ice as the worst they have known. and the conditions exist all 1 through this section. There is not much that can be done to relieve the
 condition either, until the weather be-
 comes milder and a thaw of several days'~duration sets in.
 1 Potatoes had jumped to 90 cents a 1 peck. or at the rate of $3.61 a hushel | in Danielson, Wednesday, and there is no guarantee that. is the top price householders will. have to pay before | the new potatoes begin to come in. 1 Considering the shortage in all kinds of staple foodstuffs. not only in the 1 United States, hut through the. world, l a campaign to go back to war gar | dening may be conducted in Killingly this spring and summer. Greater pro- ductiop. it is claimed. is the only pos sible relief from high prices. Farmers
 cannot be expected to work for 8 re- turn of $20 a week net, or even less, while many tradesmen are earning 1 from $40 to $50 a week, and they're
 not going to any more. they say. They 1 cannot compete for help against the l factories and the trades and cannot i by themselves produce enough other l wise to make lower prices possible. So many have been i'll in this vicin- | ity during the past two weeks that not
 enough nurses could be found to care l for them. Calls sent out for nurses to
 other places brought few satisfactory responses. for the services of the nurs-
 es have been as badly needed else
 where as here.
 l The report that new trolley cars are | to be placed upon the local division at | least gives encouragement that there
 is little present danger of abandon
 ment of the service. about which so
 much has been said during the past
 year. If new cars are to be sent here,
 they will be appreciated by the travel | Ing public as the cars now in use are
 badly in need of general overhauling | and repairs.

 | Records here show that there have been more real estate transactions in killingiy. and particularly Danielson l during the past twelve months than in i any similar period for a number of years.

 my street by Mrs. Emo Roberts to A Weisberg,s who. with his family, has
 for years occupied the home in ques | tion..
