PUTNAM

tion day did not bring desired results for that party in Putnam. It appears that the modern generation of repub lcans is as waterproof as the demo- crats and were out in force to take part in the election. In a measure this was chiefly due to the fact that the democrats have been unusually sactive throughout this district this fall and the republican campaign directors were l stirred to real activity. Despite the bad weather upwardes of l 1,S0O votes out of total of 2,5Q5 on the voting list had been cast lfp, to 4.So p. m., when it was forecastedfSthat | the total before the polls closed Wpuld reach to or over 2-000. E4s While there appears to have been | more or less uncertainty among repub- | | lican leaders as to what might happen l to some of their candidates, the opposite | optimism that might be expected among the democratic leaders was absent, and | some of them were conceeding early in the day that they could not hope to overcome the normal republican strength in Putnam, although compli- mentary votes were anticipated for some who were on the democratic ticket.
 Both party organizations, were active in getting out the. vote,, and careful checks were kept throughout the day
 that it might be. known who had voted land who had not.
 Here in Putnam there was particular interest in the outcome of the voting for state treasurer, because G.. Harold Gilpatric of this. city was the republi- can candidates, and in the result of the
 contest for sheriff, Putnam also having ia favorite son in this race in the per
 son of John G. Fox, the democratic
 candidate. Tuesday morning the funeral of Mrs.
 Agnes May Gagne, r, wife of Lee iGagne, and daughter of Mir. and Mrs. ii Edmund Tetreault, was held with ser vices at St. Mary's church, Rev. Charles F. Bedard being celebrant of the high mass of requiem, attended by a large number of relatives and friends. Burial
 was in St. Mary's cemetery.
 ] A purchase agreement has been exc cuted and deeds recorded transferring g acres of land south of the city from , the property of Edward M. Harris to , the city of Putnam. Negotiations for the purchase of this property began many weeks ago., but the purpose for 5 which the city wanted it was not known : to only few officials and some oth- f CTS who keep in touch with such mat ters.
 It now develops that the principal ob-
 jects the city had in mind when it start ed out to acquire the property was to PAON1hCS 1AAiO446 OlAlCA- d. ,SllC lOI 3 a city dump. There has been constant l ly recurring complaints during the past e few years over the odors that have aris- = en from the present city dump and no ;, little difficulty with fires originating e within the refuse deposited there. A y Only portion of the newly purchased property will be required for dumping n &purposes and the land is so distant e from the city that it is not likely that 7. any further annoyances will be caused n residents because of the dump.
 l. Only a small portion of the p acres y will be required for dumping purposes. D The remainder of the land may be uti-
 lized as seems best, and suggestion all
 ready heard is that municipal swim y, ming pool can easily be developed there .i and at small expense. A stream of T. water that runs through the property Il can so be controlled as to create the '-1 desired pool There is also a quantity a of good standing timber on. the city's IS newly purchased land that is valuable It and at some time may be used to ad y vantage.
 Il A possibility as the result of the cit, rs buying land of the city buying land ol q. the Harris property, is that other lanC e. owned by the city on School street. nortl re of Providence street, may be disposed 1- of, as of no further value to Put is nam. This last mentioned property ha ut possibilities as a site for some manu ;hfI featuring concern. n; Eugene Cartier, IS. of this city eis$ on III of the first to become involved inSdiffi C- culties this season with the gamesWar + dens. Cartier, with another youth, wa " aceosted recently while hunting in tn ne town of Killingly and asked by Deput
 Warden F. N. Kies to show his hunt
 ing license. Cartier told the officia
 that he had forgotten his license an
 was told that he might send the numbe ne of it to MT, Kies and no more fould b 1v. heard about the, matter. Failing tt
 hear from Cartier within reasonabI = time, MT. Kies investigated further an found that Cartier had not taken out . license. Cartier thereupon was ordere
 into the town court of. Killingly and fir lo. ed, but he was shown leniency and tt . fine was rebated, he paying only tk
 actual costs.
 Hi The newest proposal for rexulatin Putnam's constantly growing automc II bile traffic is to make Livery street | one-way' thoroughfare It was state | Tuesday that such a proposal will | submitted to the coming meeting of il '. common council for consideration. Tho, in favor of the plan feel that it wou l relieve congestion in this business stre HI in the heart. of the city.
 HI On the other hand, the proposal a IT ready IS meeting with opposition ar l the council is likely to hear consider
 ble about the matter before a decisic
 is reached: Those opposed hold tn;
 one-way street there would be t,
 much of a restriction and inconvenien for many that if any traffic regulate
 is ordered for Livery street it shou simply be confning parking to one si, III of the street.

 tions and the results of them Wher
