Mr.. CURTIS DENIES
Purchase Of Mt. Carmel
Axle Works Not Made
Under Cover.
DAGGETT SUPPORTS HIM
Secretary of Water Com
pany Explains Details
of the Transaction.
DAGGETT SUPPORTS HIM

Charles z. Curtis, vice-president Of
the City bank, strongly denies the
published statement of the purchase
through him, under cover, of the Mt.
Carmel Axle works by the New Haven
Water company Mr.. Curtis states pos
itively that the references to him in the
article aside from the bare fact of the
sale are entirely false and inaccurate
On the same subject David Daggett,
secretary of the Water Company, writes
to the Journal and Courier as follows:
1.-THE article relative to the purchase
of the Mt Carmel Axle works is far
from the truth. In the first place, SO
far as I know, this company has never
made any offer for either of the axle
works until we offered the Miller heirs
through Charles E. Curtis, a sum which
we thought we could afford to pay for
the water rights, power, and buildings
of the concern lately owned and con-
Quoted by the late Willis E. Miller.
When Mr.. Curtis took charge of his
affairs, this axle works was one of the
assets and the offer we made was not
based upon its being a going concern,
but simply on what we regarded a fair
valuation Of the property.
1.-THE power and water rights might
be very detrimental 10 our water sup
ply under certain possible conditions.
this is why we bought it. We made the
offer, Mr.. Curtis spent several weeks
trying to better it by selling the proper

possible to convince practical men that
it was worth any more or as much al
we offered. the heirs wished to g2cept
our offer and Mr.. Curtis therefore SOLD

WATERBURY MOTORISTS CAUGHT
Cromwell Authorities Have Warrants
for Them.

Waterbury, Aug. Z. = Dispatches
from Middletown tell of the great ac-
tivity among the village constabulary
Of Cromwell to stop speeding by auto
owners. Recently the constables and
selectmen did a botch job in trying to
convict a number Of men arrested
after the town officers had hid behind
trees and timed the speeders. Their
evidence was of a nature which even
village justice couldn't accept as
convincing and the men were let go.
Monday, however, Constable Bats
den was sent to Waterbury, Middle
town, New Haven and Manchester to
serve warrants on men who, 1t is al
legged, did not have markers on their
machines up to the legal requirements.
Their names have not been given out
and will not until they are brought
to trial on Saturday morning. If the
cases result in convictions and fines
! the constables will continue to worry
fast motorists.
