 cans on Putnam streets. Peter A. Gardt

Two cans in l particular were mentioned, both in front
 of stores where fruit is sold. MT. Gard
 her alleges that the merchants are using
 the cans in order to get rid of their de- caying fruit. He says they come out of | the stores and dump the fruit for the l city to take away, and that they have 1 been ill the habit of doing this for some | time. He suggested that the cans be | emptied oftener. Some members of the
 council thought it would be advisable to | move the cans from their present loca- l tions. The matter was referred to the | highway committee

 When PonzTs agent came 10 this city
 three weeks ago he introduced himself to
 Putnam people, and to number of them
 stated that the scheme he was represent

 whose word along financial lines carries
 much weight. Those to whom this was
 told soon got in communication with the
 citizen whose name was being used to endorse the 50 per cent in 45 day prom ise, and he denied having endorsed the
 plan. In fact he emphatically stated that he was suspicious of it. The citizer l who was being quoted without authoriza. ton then went to see the agent, who l operated under three names, Scanlon ) Stanton and Synan, and told him frank } ly that he had not endorsed him. Sc widely was this incident advertised tha the agent soon left Putnam, and as fal } as could be learned took little or no Put nam money with him.
