 They allege that the Council com- m1ttee on Streets awarded the contract to them at $1.90 per square yard. be- cause the committee believed that the blocks of the American Creosotine Company were superior, and that the committee then changed it's action and gave the contract to the United States Wood Preserving Company, although the bid of the last named was buf 5 cents lower per square yard than the bid Of the plaintiffs, while the Wycloff Company offered to furnish a block af $1 -65 per square yard

four Fires in Fifteen Months in One Concern Moves Fire Chief Mooney to Suspect
 IncendiariSm.
Electrical Cable Company Recently Collected S7SOOO Fire Loss on Property Taxed for $3 OOO Treasurer Shreve Claims Present Loss is $4O,00O =- M'Padden on Job Again.

I the concern. The streams of water drove the flames before them and had little effect upon them until the fire was driven against the sides of the building. Alongside of a room filled with paint were several tons of cotton twine.
 Michael McPadden, the watchman at the factory who had to jump out of a window at the last fire to save his life, was on the job again this morning and he sent in the alarm. He told re- porter of the Farmer this morning that he believed the fire started in the paint shop and that everything was all right there twenty minutes before.
 Treasurer J. A. Shreve of the com pany said this morning the plant would be started tomorrow in some depart ments as the power was not affected by the fire. A notice was posted shortly after the fire stating that the shop was closed for the day. MT. Shreve was of the opinion that the loss would be between $35, 900 and $40.00O He said the plant is fully covered with insurance,
 The company recently collected s73.- 900 insurance and was able to use the building again after making repairs. At the same time the total value of the concern on the tax books of the city was S3O,0OO, of which #, POO was on the business.
 On the 1908 tax books the company is listed at $s1,160. or over three times what 1t was a year ago. Of this ESQ., 300 is on the business. This increase of a thousand per cent. in the valua- tion is said by the assessors to be due to the fact that the company is car rying more stock than it did a year ago.
 Although watchman McPadden stat ed that the fire started in the paint shop. Treasurer Shreve said this morn ing that the insurance men claim the fire started in the basement in the fin- ishing department.
 Watchman McPadden said the fire was only small blaze when he saw it and that he contemplated trying to check it after he pulled the alarm, but that it gained such headway that he was obliged to give up the task.

SELECTMAN FOX ENFORCES LAW
 IN FAIRFIELD

William H. Earle of Providence, R. l. drove a touring car through Fairfield this morning at a rate of speed that startled even First Selectman Charles Fox, who has machine himself and is not inclined to be too particular about the speed of automobiles in the town. Earles machine came around the curve on Spring street at o'clock this morning at rate of about 50 miles an hour. The road is good there and Earle's machine fairly flaw. Select man Fox was equipped with a garden rake and wore the costume which he affects when in the garden. He saw the flying machine coming and jump ing the fence with bound for he is an athlete, rushed to the street bran dishing his rake. Earle slowed up his car enough to hear a few remarks made by the selectman, then pulled her wide open and burned the road.
 A telephone message to police head quarters in this city brought Earles machine to stop by order of Supt. Bir- mingham. A. s. Cooper of Providence occupied the car with Earle.
 An hour afterwards Selectman Fox, accompanied by Sheriff David A. Burr reached headquarters in Fox's bog car. Earle and his companion returned to Fairfield, where they were arraigned before Justice Bacon Wakeman on a charge of exceeding the speed law.
 There was plenty of testimony to prove that Earle was running much beyond the speed limit and the Justice imposed a fine of S7 and costs the whole amounting to S11.50 which was paid with more or less reluctance by Earle and he was allowed to continue his journey toward Providence.
 At the town meeting held a few days after the death of A. w. Wallace which was caused by an automobile the voters of the town of Fairfield laid down special instructions to the select men concerning the control of auto mobiles passing through the town. Se- lectman Fox explained to the accused driver that he had no personal desire to persecute automobiliSts. but that the will of the people of the town had been expressed positively and that in the fu- ture the speed laws must be observed in the limits Of the town.
