CITY TO RELOCATE

 Scarce of Municipal Revenue

Deeds having been recorded in the purchase by the City of Putnam from Dr W H Harms of Providence of zZ acres of land south of che city, close 10 the New Haven railroad night Of say. steps wiIl soon be taken toward closing the present city dump ard opening up part of this new tract of land for city dump pgrHs Pur- chase Of the land was taorized at a recent city meeting when an appropri- ation of $i, ,5o0 was voted
 No end of complaints have been re- eeiVed against the dump, especially by those residing close by. The situation has long been 6 yexing one to muni- cipal officials.
 Developments Induce Purchase
 Recent developments made Il neces- sary that a change be made. and af- ter giving much attention to the mat ter, t vas finally decided to negotiate the purchase of the Harris property. The land in question is farther away from houses than the present one on South Main street. and for this req son will doubtless remove the cause of complaints that have been repeat edly made.
 The Harris property. now owned by the city, should prove a source of rev. enue, for there is an enormous quan- tity Of high grade sand there, which can be used by the city and also sold to those in the market for it.

CLUB MEMBERS BAG
 TWO BIG RACCOONS
Arcanurnites Tramp Miles In Quest of Future Dinners
 Chief Course
So sussessfuI That Similar Event Ia
 Scheduled For Next Year

8aWaefs 6f the Arcanum Club are sure of at least three things. learned 8v shaIr experiences Saturday night when Ig of them tincluding 8 feW guestsi held their frst annual rae coon hunt One thing they snow is that twa raeeoons were baggea aagth- CT a they tranped for miles and miles and then some, through che svil8s of
 .orth Ashford. North and West Wood stock. and the third thing is that f eV- erything goes vel. they will hold an- other such event next year.
 Perfect Weather
 4 better night than Saturday could not have been picked for the coon hunt. The weather was all that could be desired. l. was certainly a band ef hunters. keeniy looking forward 0 the sport of the night. that left the club around 10 o'clock. bound for Louis Keachs farm at Woodstock yal- ley, which the huntsmen made their rendezvous for the occasion
 When al were assembled and ey- erything was in readiness. the three dogs were released. They seemed D strike the trail at once, for not so long afterward when the sound came to the hunters of the dogs lustily bark ing, as fl to tell the world that they had driven their quarry into tree. And sure enough they had. The ex- perienced coon hunters in the party soon had bagged the treed race0on. He tipped the scales at l { pounds.
 Carried Coon Six Miles
 Oscar Peterson Of Pomfret was given custody of the raccoon and he toted the animal back to keach's farm, a distance of six or seven miles. Os- ear frankly admits that perhaps that coon weighed 6 pounds during the first mile. but by the time he had tramped the miles back to keaeh's, that coon weighed all of l,5O0 pounds.
 When the first coon was shot, most of the party had had ample tramping for one night and started back for camp" But five of the party re- mained and once again the dogs were released Hours later there came the racket again of barking dogs, and when the hunters finally reached them. they found an Il pound coon treed. which they bagged without much difficulty
 Coffee and Sandwiches Aplenty
 Waiting al keach's farm for the hunting party were three thoughtful club members. who had taken no di. rect part in the coon hunt. but who had appeared on the scene with hos roffee and sandwiches Their sur prise was most welcome to tired and famished lot of men-the hot coffee and lunch being as welcome as let ter from home.
 And now comes the talk of the rae coon dinner Dr. F. r Baldwin, presi- dent of the club, who took the leading part in arranging and conducting the hunt. Is in charge of the arrange ments for the feast. They do say that oniy those who wearied themselves by trailing those raccoons will have the distinction of gathering about the dinner table. but there is the proba- bility that the three clubmen who brought the coffee and sandwiches out to the party may be present as inSit- ed guests. At any rate, every mem Der of the club is looking forward to the dinner and the good time that Is assuredly in store on this occasion.
