Norwich bulletin., 1921-11-16

of automobiles in Union street is being
sought by farmers and others who drive
into Putnam to do trading and find that
this thoroughfare intended for hitching
horses, is usually blocked with automo-
biles, fact which forces farmers to go
somewhere outside the business section
to find a hitching location.
it was stated Tuesday that when Union
street was improved and hitching posts
allowed to remain there It was with the
specific intention of reserying this street
for horse-drawn vehicles. The location
is central and convenient for those wins
are doing shopping and bundles eft in
vehicles in this public place are net like
ly to be stolen.
The remarkable increase Of the nun
Der Of automobiles in use during the
past three years has crowded the bus
ness section with parked machines at
practically all hours. even crowdins the
space in Union street that It was intend
E should be reserved for horses.
Drivers of horses find themselves left
TO seek some obscure place to eaYe their
rigs. This is inconvenient, causing them
long walks as well as the risk Of losing
| bundles left IN wagons in out of the way
| corners of the city.
| The farmers are making known In no
uncertain terms that they think they are
entitled to more consideration from the
city to which they give their trade and
are anxious that r.-nething be done to
remedy the situation about which they
are complaining.

Men who have always insisted that
women, as sex, never won take very
much more than q superficial interest
in politics excepting on special occasions,
are now regarding themselves as proph-
cts. at least insofar as Putnam s con-
cerned, and point to the fact that only a
very small percentage Of the women Of
this city who are entitled to vote partiei-
pated In the party caucuses that have
DIST nominated candidates for election
at the city election in. December. Yet
there remains the fact in refutatinn Of
this view that several hundred women Of
Putnam participated in the annual town
election in October, and made it point
to come out even though the day was a
stormy one.
