NEW HIGHWAY LAWS
Revision of Statutes Compiled In
 Pamphlet Form

New highway laws of Connecticut. as revised by the legislature of 1925, have been compiled in pamphlet form by the state highway department for general distribution throughout the state.
 The department proposes to send copies of the booklet ta officials of ev- cry town in the state. as well as Co di- visional offices of the department, as there are a number of new statutes affecting relations of towns to the state in the matter of state aid roads, financial arrangements for construc- lion af reads and bridges. and the mat ter of illegal advertising signs along highway rights of way.
 Qualification Of all the state statutes concerning highways by the recent ses- sion of the legislature resulted in the repeal of several sections which were revised and reclassiied These are listed in the booklet.
 \ feature of the revised laws is the provision authorizing the highway commissioner 10 re-establish the boun- diaries of any state or trunk line sys- tenn when it is found that the original boundary lines have become lost or are uncertain. In several cases it has been found that the states rights of way on certain highways had become uncertain since the road was originally mapped out, and the new enactment Ii designed 10 give the state power Co rec tify errors of this nature by condemna | ton. Hereafter the boundary linei will be marked by uniform and dis tinetive type of marker.

TO CONFER ONCE MORE
 ON COUNTY DETECTIVES

The second conference on the plan to include county detectives in the state police department Is to be held in the governors office al the Capitol on Monday, August 10. a. i0.50 a. m.. standard time. Governor Trumbull on Tuesday notified all states attorney s to this effect, saying that it will be in accordance with his decision following the last conference that another should be held further to discuss the matter
 Objection to the plan was raised at the last meeting and final decision was withheld. The county detectives in the interim have been acting under the regulations governing former appoint. ments. The 1925 General Assembly adopted an act making the governor approval necessary to appointments of detectives by states attorneys instead of that of judges of the superior court after July 1 of this year Governor Trumbull ruled that the detectives must become members Of the state po- lice department.

GOVERNOR HAS NOT NAMED
 JOHN A. DADY's SUCCESSOR

Governor Trumbull has not seen fit as yet to appoint a county commission CT for Windham county to succeed the late John A. Dady of Putnam. IL will be recalled that during the caucus of members of the legislature from Wind ham county no candidate could get a sufficient number of votes to secure the election. This left the vacancy open and subject Co be filled by the governor. Samuel Rich of Putnam, representa- tive in the House, came within one vote of election. Charles M Perrin of North Woodstock was q candidate, as was Thomas Awkward of DaHiels0n. As far as known all three candidates are still looking for the appointment If it isI possible to get 1t. Meanwhile county affairs are being administered by Com missioners F. E. Corttis and Urgel La- France.

POMFRET PLAYERS IN THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY"

sparkling and the situations teeminG with clean humor.
 Bobby Baxter's entrance was the sig. nal for applause and throughout the offering Mr. Swain, who had 8 difficult female impersouation of the real Kitty Co carry through. put his Julian FL lnge stuff over in the most pleasing, amusing, and graceful manner. In the hands of one less capable the part would have fallen fiat but in the hands of Mr. Swain it was most decidedly made the most of.
 Outstanding Character
 Mf. Nonsiafsky. as Benjamin More. was an outstanding character. Of good voice, distinct articulation. and nasur, alness of facial expression and ges- ture. Mir. Nonsiatsky handled we'll the part of the mystified and much de- ceived wife seeker. His scenes with MT. Swain were most excellent, and brought peals of laughter and applause from all parts of the house.
 MT Pritchard and Mir. Cushman. in the parts of Winkler and Ting. were cast for much work and many lines and cues, which they handled to the best of satisfaction.
 Miss Mary Bradford as Jane made a very charming appearance. and was well cast in this prominent part. Mrs Nelson as Aunt Jane also portrayed the man-seeklng splnster in a most amusing way.
 Robert Arnold as the colored porter added a touch of color and added to the amusement.
 Miss Lindgren Alluring
 In the selection of Miss Annie Lind gren as the real Kitty the Pomfret Players were most fortunate. She made a most alluring actress and was greeted warmly upon her entrance in the second act. From then until the final curtain she took the leading fe- male part perfectly.
 Mrs. Louis Lorillard appeared well as the maid of Aunt Jane
 If the Pomfret Players feel as pleas ed at their reception in this city as the audience did at their offering of The Arrival of Kitty their coming to Putnam must have been most satisfae- tory to them.
 The size of the house assured a sub stantial sum for the purpose for which the farce is being giyen-the purchase of a much needed refrigerating plant for the Day kimball Hospital. From both an artistic and financial stand point the affair was decided success.

Three Act Farce Given in Ex- cellent and Entertaining
 Manner Friday Night
Amateur Actors Deserve the High
 est Praise

Kitty arrived in downpour of rain, Friday night. This did not deter a good sized audience from appearing at inc Bradley Theatre to greet her. Kit ~ arrived. was seen. and conquered. she departed in the eme downpour in which she arrived. lsaving behind a very pleasant recollection of her two hours visit to our little city.
 The Pomfret players put over their offering of the three-aet farce, "The Arrival of Kitty" by Norman Lee Swartout. in a manner deserving of the highest praise. The stage setting was good. the eostuming was in excel lent taste. there were no halts or waits. the members of the company were letter perfect and, if there was any prompting. no prompting from the wings could be heard by the audience. There was an absence of that self con- seiousness so generally apparent in amateur productions, and there was a well directed use of rouge and pencil that banished that ghostly appearance also often emphasized in amateur the atricals to detract from the presenta- tion. In fact. from the smallest detail Ia tifE AitBGA Nt&AAANAA EttuaAtNA kAAEAt was an appeal that caused the audi ence to wholly forget that the produe- tion was not professionally offered. This is indeed a high compliment, but was unanimously voiced by all who saw the play. after the final curtain was rune down.
 Starts Promptly
 The curtain rose promptly and from the first situation in which Ting and sam had the stage to themselves the audience sensed that they were in for an entertaining and jolly evening. The dismal prospect out of doors was for gotten in the brightness Of the little summer hotel in the Catskills where Ting had become the "boss" for the time being With the arrival of the first guest. William Wiukler. the play began to move forward with rapidity, and the lines and action came across the footlights to q receptive audience that was unafraid to evidence their appreciation with applause.
 Much of the entertaining farce is woven about a mistaken identity mix up that furnished the Imaginable situ- ations. The lines were fresh and
