DANIELSON

Joseph Frasier, a Danielson man who
e q patient at the Day Kimball hospi- |
tai at Putnam. was reported in criti-
rsl condition Friday as the result of hav-
ing his feet frozen few days ago and
as the result Of other physical troubles
that have developed Of late.
Mr.. Frasier was found alone in his
home on Franklin street. his feet badly
frozen as the result of his having lay
down to rest in a cold room while he was
wearing wet clothing which he failed to
remove after he had fallen into the wa
ter while on a fishing trip. >Amputation
OF his feet has not been resorted to his
condition is so critical.
Tn. year that ends today is one
through which Danelson and all Of Kill
lirEly has come with remarkable good
fortune. as to industrial conditions, as
compared with many towns and cities of
he country.
while business was slack or entirely
suspended by some big concerns during
= psrt Of the year. other mills have run
steadily and in the latter part of the
year have been on full time schedules.
Unemployment here has been relative
iv unimportant, as compared With many
towns even in Connecticut. How fortu-
nate Killingly has been is indicated by
The fact that the people have as a whole
been well housed and fed and other wise
comfortable and beyond all of that the
Increase IN the savings departments Of
iocal banks IS over half a million dol
lars Not so bad for a year when talk
OF business depression has been the rule
and when there has been acute suffering
on widespread scale IN hundreds OF
towns and cities.

weeks ago and had to do with the effort
OF III. plaintiffs to recover money they

The memorandum Of Judge Morvin' 5
decision In this Interesting case follows :;
.rhe case Of No. Pacific Ry. Co. ct al Y,
kult cited in The brief OF The y. Y, \.
y. q Il r. II Co, seems 10 be decisive
OF its contention that this action cannot
be maintained so TO It. InAso far however.
as i affects the director general Of rail
roads ii seems to me that Sec. 1885 of
ne Genl, SITS. Rev Of 1918 hardly fits
ne situation because these ties had been
delivered and paid for under such cir
eumstsnces the fact that as between
Herman and plaintiffs something re-
NAMED yet to be done to fulfil the for
