The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-29
FAIRFIELD

It is safe to predict that the Repub- Hcan caucus will this evening ponin- ate for selectmen MT. Andrew F. Wakeman and MT. Rowe for member of the school board, MT. M B. Banks and for Town Clerk and Tax Collector MT. Joseph I. Flint. No one well post ed on political affairs in town took much stock in the rumor that MT. B. B. Warehouse would leave his party and join the. Democrats. The, state ment'' which it was predicted he would make, has been published, but it is not exactly of the tenor which had been forecasted- It sets at rest a good deal of unofficial gossip, and is warning to those who take too much for granted.
 The town meeting which will be held on the 4th of October, promises to be long drawn out and may provoke good deal of discussion. The warning,
 which was issued to-day, contains a large number of propositions for the determination of the voters. First the meeting will be called to act upon the annual reports; then to make ap- propr1a tions for the current or ensu- ing year; then to lay tax, and the presumption is that it will have to be more than Il mills to the dollar. After this has been disposed of the voters will be asked to authorize the selectmen to borrow $50,000 and to give notes for such sums as may be borrowed An important matter is the proposition to act upon the ques- ton of widening the highway at Reinecke's, Carey's and Hopkins Cor ners so-caHed, and to make appropria- tions for the work. This matter has been in the hands of Selectman Fox, and he will doubtless make an inter esting report, giving an estimate of the cost. The corners are dangerous, and accidents to aut omobiles have ta- ken place at some of them. The town will also be asked to act upon the question of widening and straighteiing a highway near Nichols Terrace and make an appropriation for the same. An appropriation will also be asked for further improvement of the Beach road; to purchase an oil sprinkler;and the town will be asked to sell the school house at Bulkley's District. Also to consider what appropriations, if any, shall be made for the improve ment of highways under the State highway laws.
 Yesterday, in anticipation of the coming town meeting, Tikob & Ives tungsten electric lights. These have been long needed for the polling booths, the vault, the porch and the large upper hall.
 Major Harral. E. W. Harral and his son, Crissy, went to New York on Sat urday in a Mitchell Runabout, to take part in the great Hudson-Fulton cele- bration.
 Some sixteen young ladies attended the card party given by Miss Helen itors, Miss Florence Goodwin of Hart ford, and Miss Marguerite Osborne of New Haven. A few of the guests were Mrs. Middlebrook and Miss Louise Rulkley of Southport; Ethel and Mabel Pickett, Helen Jenison of Bridgeport, also the following from Bridgeport - Edna Northrop, Lucille Godfrey, Ruth Northrup and Miss Thomas.

 Rev> Frank s. Child is expected nome to-day from Clifton Springs. Miss Bessie Child will remain few weeks longer.

 It would of course be a loss to the Southport district of the town if the | Hollywood Inn should remain closed the coming season. It was intended as place where young men could play innocent games, have plenty of ma gazines and books to read, and ob- tain a meal if desired. Heretofore it has been largely supported through the generosity of Dr. Guilbert, but all of the burden should not fall upon his shoulders. There are many good men in town who hope to see a place pro- vided where youths and young men may be kept away from temptation, and doubtless they would help out the project if need be.
