Twenty Tons of New
 Equipment For Bank
Heavy Vault Door and Inside Fix lures Put in Place Frid&y.-
 Only Inches to Spare

Vault equipment weighing 39,000 pounds arrived and was installed in the new bank of the Cargill Trust Company, last Friday. The heavy material came by railroad from Ham, ilton. Ohio. A trucking concern from Worcester brought the equipment from the railroad to the bank and placed it in position inside the building.
 The equipment included a door weighing approximately 23.00O pounds and safe deposit boxes and other inside equipment for the vault weighing about l6,000 pounds.
 The moving company used an espe- cially equipped heavy truck and trail CT. The truck was solidly built and carried a windlass. On account of the angle at which the front of the building Is built there was barely room to get the big steel door through the front door of the new bank. With but a fraction of an inch on each side to spare the contractors manipulated the cumbersome door weighing nearly twenty tons through this compara- lively narrow space without mishap and with seeming ease. The clever work of the men was watched with interest by those engaged in the build ing, one or two officers of the bank, and by curious passersby.

WESTERN UNION GIVING CITY
 BETTER TELEGRAPH SERVICE

asked to receive telegraph message. When the bill for the message arrived a charge for the telephone call would be added. This was objected to as not the type of service. Putnam's im- portance demanded.
 It has, up to now, also been impos- sible to send messages by Western Union after seven o'clock in the eve ming because the office was closed.
 Another local complaint that has now been adjusted Is the delivery of messages to nonSubscribers of the telephone company. It has been the practice of the telegraph company, and will so continue, to telephone mes sages wherever the addresee has tei- ephone. To the addressee who had no telephone a delay in delivery was usually the case. This has been rem edied with the promise of immedi- ate delivery of all messages to nom subscribers. It is anticipated that the Putnam office will eventually have a messenger boy.
 The local office of the Western Union is now equipped with Simplex operation. The old Morse code and key are no longer used. The Simplex is like a typewriter. The sender writes a message on a tape and the same message appears upon a tape Tn ihe office of the receiver.

 Mr Kochenour and MT. Morrison stated that the company intends to give Putnam the best possible service and that the service will be extended to any hours the patronage warrants The officials realize that Putnam IS an important business center. They have also taken into consideration that in Pomfret there are two impor- tant school for boys and in Thompson an important school for young ladies, the pupils being from many parts and their parents and themselves in need of telegraph service. They also know that many summer visitors come to this section.

Longer Office Hours-Delivery to
 Non-Telephone Subscribers

Through the efforts of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce this city, and the surrounding towns, now has an ;,.nroved telegraph service. The serv- ;ee ;naugurated by the Western Union Telegraph Company, Wednesday, IS a service more in keeping with the importance and progress Of this com munity.
 Some months ago the Chamber of Commerce entered a complaint that | felt that Putnam was not being served in the manner it's importance warranted. The complaint brought a courteous reply from the office of R. z Folger of New York, superintend- ent of the company's eastern division. Mir Folger advised that the situation xas already under investigation and consideration and that the Putnam Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Putnam could rest assured that the matter would be taken care of in a satisfactory manner.
 Nothing further was heard from the company until Wednesday, when q c Kochenour of New York. dis triet manager. and F. L. Morrison, district commercial agent, arrived in Putnam.
 New Service in Effect
 These officials were sent here by Superintendent Folger. They made the announcement that a decision to give Putnam district better and more complete service had been made and that it would go into effect at once. The office of the company in the Putnam Inn will hereafter be kept open week days from s o'clock a. m. to 10 o'clock D. m., and on Sundays from Q to 1 q. m. and to 6 ?. m. This service is now being rendered.
 The night service will relieve a sit- nation that has been the source of many complaints. Telegrams for Putnam people, and those in the near by towns, sent after seven o'clock in the evening were not received here because the local office was closed. The result of this. in many instances, has been that the addressee would re- ceiye a long distance telephone call. usually from Hartford, and would be
