12th series ot shares is now being sub | scribed semi-anpual dividend at the
 rate of per cent. compound interest i has been declared In the last six months | $4,273.41 was paid to shareholders with
 drawing from the association. | Adequate trolley service for Putnam,
 the possibility of obtaining for this city
 or immediate neighborhood a state park,
 and signposts for the city lines were
 among the topics discussed Monday night
 at the meeting of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce. held in the chamber rooms l in the Union block, aTsl attended by 30
 members. The lively discussion by those
 present showed that there is considerable | interest itl the matters that the chamber
 is considering and in its activities gen.
 orally.
 In view of the fact that the bus lines
 have been ordered to discontinue their
 service after Thursday of this week, the
 trolley situation brought out much com
 ment SC far as is kIcwr to the cham l ber, the Connecticut company, which op- crates the line through this section of the | state, has made no plans to furnish more adequate service after the 18th, at which
 time the buses stop operation upon or der of the public utilities commission. The Putnam chamber will make an ef- fort to interest the company in provid
 ing more freouent service than is now given and in order to see if this can be brought about the directors at the meet ing Monday night were authorized to re- quest the trolley company to send rep
 resentative to confer with the directors regarding the local needs in he way of I Itr5.ley transportation.
 i The board of direct Jrs Wss zlSc au- II thorized to take up with the assessors the
 matter of the revaluation of taxable Ii property. which has long been agitated by the chamber, and which has now been \ made compulsory by state action, if the town is to. receive the usual state aid for schools.
 The possibility of securing for Putnam , orAthe immediate neighborhood one of the , state parks being established by the park commission was taken up at the meeting . The commission already has a fine tract of woodland in the town of Pomfret known as Sap Tree Run, which might. be turned into a public park, with free camping privileges, etc, such as has been done with several tracts in the western } and southern parts of the state. The meeting appointed President A. Newton Vaughn and Judge F. F. Russell com mittee to take the matter up with the park Commissioners.
 Signposts in the public streets and at the city or town lines, for the guidance e'l of autonobilists, were favored by the l members present as convenience to the travelling public and a worthwhile ad- vertisement for the city. It was voted that the city council be requested to au- : thorize the erection of such signs; a com . uittee consisting of Whitman Danielson, , E. C.. Rogers and F. F. Russell was ap- $ pointed to present the request to the l council at its next regular meeting. It lis planned to discontinue meetings
 during August and regular programs will l be drawn up for each meeting in the fu- e ture. beginning in the early part of Sep 5 tember. At each meeting some special f feature will be arranged to make the : gathering of real interest to all who at- : tend. George L.. Padgett, Charles E. 2 Dean and c. Dwight Sharpe will be ih 8 charge of the program for the September }, meeting. r, f In place of the regular August meeting l. the advisability of helfiing a field day 7 during August was considered. A com e nlittee of five, Charles E. Dean, $. D. c Fisher, Charles A. Thayer E.. c. Rogers
 and Whitman Danielson, was appointed . to work on the project and to report later
