Pierce' 'Co. - of "Bridgeport has been awarded the contract for building the Lon'etown state road", at about J10.00O. : The bid or Sanrord ws born of the Ridge was about $2,000 above that figure. . By the termsof the contract the crushed stone "which will form the upper layer of the ma terial ' put in is to be of ' trap rock. Work is to begin within, ten days "af ter the signing of the contract and the job must be completed In 60 days. The contract papers have not yet been received here for the signature of the selectmen, whose approval- is ' one of the required formalities, but are daily expected.' When the Job is paid for there -will remain of the sum Which haSfcbees .- allotted,.; .to this town - for state road building about , l,70Q. com missioner: Bennett has promised that the balance of the appropriation should be applied towards building tthe road between the Center and Georgetown, but $1,700 would pay for tne construc tion of only a few hundred., feet and will probably not be put to' .use unless augmented by another appropriation which must come by vote of a town meeting. Whether the commission er's promise was designed i to . be a pledge of future appropriationsfor: the Georgetown road project does "not yet appear and probably mforrrjation on this subject will be 'sought so'nhat the town meeting may act with r a ' knowl edge of where" the money IS" 6- be' spent. That the proposed appropriation might meet with enough ' opposition to be withheld in case the money Is to go for the Georgetown project is merely a possibility. The Lonetown road will be the most expensive piece of con struction the . town has had ' done. A special town meeting has been called for Saturday afternoon of this week to act on a proposition for leas ing a field in Georgetown as a public park and in . the event of the .accept ance of the offer of the land In- ques. tion to elect toy ballot a committee of three to served as park: commissioners. The selectmen- Issued the call .for the meeting upon a petition signed by twenty Georgetown residents. As has been explained in this correspondence the project is an outcome of the con troversy over Sunday ball pJaying m Georgetown and i should the action of Saturday's meeting be favorable will admit of Sunday playing being legal ized. It is expected that Rev. Mr. Wise, leader of the Sunday observance movement, will: rally his forces In an endeavor to control the town meet-, ing. The other sections of the town feel little interest in .the controversy and -will probably leave the issue to be mostly decided by -Georgetown voters. - - While walking In Pleasant "Valley last -Sunday afternoon Wv W. Hewett, clerk of the Ridgewold Inn. saw smokel coming from 'a small outbuilding i. on the premises of Charles' M. Thompson. Live coasls In a box of ashes had start ed a blaze which was - eating through the floor. A' brisk wind was blowing In the direction of : Qie 'main house and but for the fortunate arrival and prompt action of Mr.'. 'Hewett, who j quenched the flames with," a , few pans of water, the' Thompson , summer home would probably have been , destroyed as all the family were absent at the time. After ' putting outthe ifire Mr. Hewett wrote the following : explana tory Inscription on the wall : "Please excuse the mess I have made here, I did it because' the building was on fire." : . ! Some of u the Pleasant "Valley people are . hopeful : that1 the changes decided on by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. will be less sweeping than present reports indicate. They say they do not riee how sanitary considerations require, the 'removal of the pond on the Heggaman plaee or that- of Mr. Esther Waterman si little further down the ' stream as "no polluting , water drains -Into these ponds from the ad jacent premises and both now serve a useful purpose - as a. means of water supply for the summer homes' of the owners. If "these ponds are to go.it Is surmised .that the. removal of the pond on the Llvermore farm will also be decreed as it. is upon a stream tri butary to the Aspetuck river. The full and, final program of the . water company in reference to these matters is yet to be announced. Messrs. Ste phen and 15. P. Sanford have not yet received a reply to the proposal to sell their entire -real estate holdings in the -valley , to : the 1 water : company.

Hayes Found Physically Unfit for Further Police Duty Several Policemen Off Duty After an argumentative session of the police board last-, night at which the uncertainty of physicians as - tft the actual physical condition of Pa trolman George E. Hayes- and ,the method of. keeping records in the de partment came under severe censure by Commissioner Lou P Bristol; and it was found necessary to put the question summarily to vote. Patrolman liiayes was retired upon half-pay.:; -Hayes was found to have been con stitutionally unfit - for - police service through a heart affection, aggravated By exposure to the" elements after a severe attack of la grippe and made serious by a recent accident due to being thrown : from his bicycle when pocketed between a trolley car and the curto.stone- at the corner of Noble and East Washington avenues, . 'last May. . He ' was adjudged both unfit for police duty or any duties within the Jurisdiction of the department and is recommended to . seek a more equable climated : L .: Having been upon 'the force since -iay sx, xsa j , sixteen years, . he Is re tired upon . half pay under the grade A scale of $3,25 per, day, which will mean payment from the police fund lot $1.66 2-3 cents per day-. The -meeting began in a quiet man ner by the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, and .the filing of an application for' regular patrolman submitted by Edward T. Sewell. It soon developed into a regular session when a letter received from Dr. F. J. Adams," department surgeon, .record ed the absence from duty of a num ber of officers, patrolmen and chauf feurs. These had been , ordered to be reported , separately and . upon recom mendation of Commissioner Bristol were referred back , to . the physician for correction. Among those reported ill at ; this time were Supt. Eugene Birmingham, suffering with - ;kidney trouble, expected to return, within a month; Doorman -Ruggles,- suffering with rheumatism; Patrolman George E. Hayes, recommended for retirement; Patrolman Musante '"recovering from an' operation; Patrolman G. R, Simp son, sprained ankle, . not expected to return cfor a month . Patrolman; taw son, HI with malaria' and not expected for a' month, and Chauffeur Flanagan, recovering from a broken, wrist, -"to be on duty within a week. r . . The matter of Hayes retirement re sulted in reports from Dre. F. J. Adams and Andrew J. ; McQueeney,' . after formal application for retirement front the officer. Dr. Adams stated that he believed Hayes to be suffering from miiocarditis, an . affection of the heart due . to exposure while on duty. . Dr. MoQueeney was also of the opinion tha the 'heart of Hayes was affected and that ; an area- oyer the left lung also held an old lesion which had been aggravated by a recent accident. Upon a letter from the city attorney stating that in the -event of an appli cation from Hayes i and certificates from physicians that he Is 'Unfit for police, duty, he might be retired upon half-pay the matter, was formally plac ed before the board. Commissioner Murphy recommended " that the re quest be granted. .. Bristol made a mo tion that the letters be received.' This was seconded by Com. Brown. Presi dent George S. Hill wished to know the Import of the motion and Bristol" quickly came to the front with an ex planation. He said: "It would appear from the two physicians' letters that they merely believe rHayes to be euf f ering from miocarditis and incapaci tated for duty. Can we not get a-report from somebody , that .knows?" Commissioner Murphy again urged a motion that the recommendations be accepted but Bristol insisted upon knowing' further whether Hayes had ever been hurt in an accident and de manded departmental reports of the accident. Clerk Clayton L. Smith re tired and - after .five minutes confer ence with police officers returned to state that ' no definite record of the accident had ever been made. ' President Hill recommended (that: In view of his sixteen- years of service and the knowledge possessed by all, that the officer should be retired. This was met . by Bristol with the statement that there might possibly be something else Hayes could do, in the department, such - as doorman or the like, which caused Inspection of the physicians' reports.;.' another time and the . argu ment was advanced that "he needed a more equable climate." Bristol, once more ridiculed this idea 'With the statement that if more equable cli mate was . needed, probably one-half the present patrolmen would- like to be retired" on half pay and that- if Hayes was to be retired without fur ther absolute knowledge of his condi tion or the accident which was respon sible for his condition a bad precedent would result, i - The rest of the commissioners at this time were becoming impatient, and Commissioner Brown called for the question. All except Bristol voted In the affirmative to retire Hayes. ' Bris tol could not be heard to vote either for or against. Com. Bristol lat er explained his motives as being pure ly technical and upon the ground that he believed more accurate records, of such cases and accidents should ' be made.- He good-naturedly accepted, the friendly comments - of his col leagues.
