PUTNAM

| Road breaking operations were contin
 cJ Tuesday by forces of the state high
 -ay department. Tuesday morning the
 .1nk llne between this city and ,Wilii-
 fantSc was still impossible in places but good progress was being made toward epenin gthe line, which is much used at ali times of year. West of PhoenixviAe and in, the, town of Chaplin there were some bad drifts blocking this route and touring cars that essayed to get through as late as Monday evening had to aban- don the effort, though they at times dug through places where the snow had banked up four and five feet high. It was expected that today would see this route again spassable for motor traffic at all points between this city and Willi- mantle, a distance of about 25 miles. Putnam and points to the north had no trolley service Tuesday, and is not 1 likely to have at once. This fact was 1 learned on, Tuesday. The Putnam division l is now being operated over only between Central Village and Dayville. Riding on 1 this end of the division has been so light 1 for weeks as to discourage any special | effort to quickly restore service. No specific statement could be obtained on l Tuesday as to. when service will be re- stunned through Putnam, but in this con
 
 fort was being made to clear the line of 1 snow and, this was taken to mean that nature will have to get in it's cleaning up 1 work before the cars are seen here again. | In {: the city court Tuesday morning 1 Charles Anderson, alias Johnson, was 1 sentenced to pay a. fine of s20 and costs Of $1I157 for being intoxicated. Anderson or Johnson--he answers to either name was picked up at the Putnam inn Mon- day afternoon and was taken to the po- lice station, whsre he spent the night. He said that he got, the drink from some i friends: Judge Geissler in sentencing the i man remarked that ifsi< was not Wash ington's birthday Ike would have sent i'm down to Brooklyn jaif to think about it. l but as Washington was a great advo-
 cater of freedom he would give the pris-
 oner another chance before sending him to Brooklyn: -F s

 AIT the local legislators stayed at home
 Tuesday. as there was no session on
 Washington's birthday.
 A large force of men and several carts
 were busy all Tuesday dumping the snow I'into the Quinebaug river. It is stated
 that men have been busy in the outlying
 parts of the town also. and that all roads are open and. passable, though they prob.
 ably would he very good highways fol . automobile traffic. The state has beer 7 busy also in removing the snow from tht . state roads in this vicinity. The select men in employing extra men for break ing roads have given preference to thost who have been out of work, and need tht
 money. No trolley cars have been througl f since Sunday afternoon. though 'buse r1aa l vice has been brought back to practical, = schedule time.
