 While Intoxicated

As result of an accident on Main street Saturday evening when his automobile ran into the rear of q parked machine owned by Joseph John of New Bedford, Mass, Matthias Rondeau of Putnam was in the city court Monday morning charged with driving while under the influence of liquor He pleaded guilty to the charge.
 In fining Rondeau sl00 with costs of $2964 Judge NJ H Geissler em. phasized the menace that intoxicated drivers were on the highway. especi- ally in the traffic of d city. He stat ed that the commissioners of Massa- chusetts and Connecticut and the A. L. A. were making efforts toward having jail sentence imposed on every person convicted of this offense.

By PUTNAM JUNIOR

The City of Putnam was very un- fortunate in the manner in which its main business streets were created. Back years SEQ before the town was first incorporated from parts of Pom fret, Thompson and Killingly. a thriving village had been built up on the shores of the Quinebaug river, and cOwpaths extended where the pre- sent Main and Front streets run. As the village of Putnam grew and was finally chartered as a city these COW trails were improved and became streets and buildings abutted them This scheme of things has never been changed, and crooked Main street and a like condition of other princi pal streets has come down to us. Boston has a situation similar but much more perplexing.
 Possible to Widen Street Main street has always been forty feet in width, but through the effort of public spirited citizens, the new CT blocks on the street have been set back four feet from the property line. so that in the indefinite future it will be possible to increase the width of the street to forty-eight feet pro- yided other builders conform to the same lines. If Putnam continues to grow, and there is every indication that t will. a wider Main street will shortly become desirable if not im- peratige.
 Not only are streets in the center of the city crooked and laid out with absolutely no regard for system. bu che same condition can be found in the outlying residential districts. One section of the ordinances. number l5i. states that no street or thorou kh fare or part thereof shall be laid out in Putnam except by the direction or with the consent of the common council 4 suitable penalty is im- posed for violation of the section. We are certain of many streets stalk eI out without consulting the eoun- eil. but cannot recall any prosecu- tions under this section.
 Streets in Putnam are accepted according to the same standards as
Putnam patriot., 1924-08-29

in many other cities. IL is specified that the street must be forty feet in width and in good condition before it can be taken over as city streets. and the abutters receive the resulting benefits. At present a very undesir able situation exists in that several streets are awaiting action on the part of property owners on one street since the city wishes to take over all the proposed new streets simul. taneously.
 Kept tn Good Repair
 IL is the opinion of the writer and of several men interviewed that the streets of Putnam are kept in good state of repair, a credit to the effort of Highway Superintendent Frederick Dumas.
 Under the streets the sewer lines are well placed, and those of the public utility companies, gas and water, though not quite as carefully located, constitute no menace Those in charge of laying sewer piping on new streets have often times found rock lodges in the centers of the streets where the line would natur- ally go. This condition exists only because capable city authority such as the engineer. perhaps. was not consulted in stalking out the street.
 Slippery Sidewalks
 It would not be amiss to devote a paragraph to sidewalks and the sec tion of the ordinances regarding the removal of ice and snow. This sec ton specifics that this work shall be done within the space of two hours during the daytime after the cessation of Il snow or ice storm. or the abutter shall be liable to a fine Of five collars and the expense of hay ing the walk cleaned by the hishWay department. Since this k an act under which the city can be sued for damages should accidents occur. it k one which should be very strict v enforced The work of the high way department in sanding icy side walks on the principal streets worthy of comment.

Labor recruiters penetrate to re. mote villages of Northern Argentine and with the promise of high wages induce Indians and their families to leave home. The lahorers are trans
 ported on flat ears with aeeommoda- tions worse than those provided for live stock They are herded on es- tates under the open sky without sufficient food. They are hard work CTS, and their pay Is practically nos thng, their wages being in the form of orders, valid only at the plantation store, where they are charged eNor- btant prices for the poorest quality of goods. If any balance is left at the end of the accounting. the workers are induced to spend it for liquors of which they are very fond. The na- tionai department of labor of Argen- tine is authority for this information.
