SOUTHPORT.

O'CLOCK, Wnen Judge PRENTICE OF the Su-
perior court appointed appraisers on
land which the Consolidated road needs !;
but has been unable to acquire at its own
prices. Among landholders were those
from Westport, Green's Farms, South
port and Fairfield. There was goodly
array of lawyers, the road being repre-
sented by its local attorneys, Bishop and
Havland, while among lawyers on the
opposite side were Hur1burt, Light, Com
ley, Glover, Toomey, Jr, and Thompson,
the latter representing the estate of
Michael Murphy of Fairfield and Mr. Stu
art of Brooklyn, who owns property at
Green's Farms. On all save these two
cases, Judge Prentice appointed as APP
praisers Judge A. M. Tallmade of Bridge
port, Hon Nathan Marvin Belden of Will
ton and Surveyor Talmadge Baker of
Norwalk. As Mr. Tallmadge is associate
ed with Mr. Thompson in legal practice,
Lawyer Samuel Tweedy of Danbury was
substituted for him on the two cases in
which Mr. Thompson is interested. The
appraisers have a task of great magni-
tude, for property claimed to be worth
100000 will be judged by them. APP
peals from their decisions may be taken.
