S. Winsor and J. NJ. johnson were
hunting quail on Bill Ross farm in
Blue Hill the other day and Mr..
johnson narrowly escaped having his
right ear taken off through the reck-
less shooting of his companion.
They were both skirmishing around
in different parts of the field, says
our informant, when Mr. Winsor saw
something move behind a bush and
fired. The charge passed within an
eighth of an inch of Mr.. Johnson's
ear, and he jumped into the open
and yelled, "That's close enough,
Winsor; don't shoot again. The
next time Mr.. Winsor hunts Quail he
will take pair of binoculars with
him.

COUNCIL ORDERS COMMISSION
 10 PAVE FAIRFIELD AVENUE But Commission Fears # Can't Because Of Litigation by Trolley
 Monopoly

The Common, council shouldered on to the Paving and Sewer commission last night the responsibility of getting something done toward putting Fair field, avenue into proper shape. It passed a resolution, embodied in the report of the Streets and Sidewalks committee, which orders that commits sion to proceed at once with the work of constructing the Fairfield avenue sewer. The council also passed res- olution ordering The Connecticut Co.,, to remove the south tracks on the street so that the work on the sewer can be done.
 Here are the resolutions which the Streets and Sidewalks committee, Daniel E. Walker, chairman, expects to accomplish something:
 Resolved, That the paving and sewer commission be and hereby are ordered to immediately start the paw ing, and the laying of the sewer in Fairfield avenue, from Main street to Park avenue, the same to be in adopted at the meeting of April 8, 1911, as regards the laying of the per manent pavement; and in accordance with the resolution as adopted at the meeting of April 17, 1911, as regards the construction of the sewer in the said street.
 'sWhere as, public convenience de- mands the reconstruction of the sew CT in Fairfield avenue, and that the said sewer is at present located under meath the south track of the Connec- ticut Go. in said street, therefore be it
 Resolved, That the Connecticut Go. be and hereby is requested and directed to remove their south track on the aforesaid street in order that the construction of the said sewer may be accomplished with the great est possible speed and convenience, said company to comply with this or der at the time and day designated by the paving and sewer commission '
 After the meeting of the council the citizens gathered in groups in the City Hall corridor and discussed the Likelihood of the trolley company complying with the order of the coun- cil. without first going to all possible ends to hold up the work.
 The expected scrap over the Fair field avenue situation did not develop at the meeting. The. Streets and Side walks committee met prior to the council meeting and decided upon the resolutions that were adopted. At the meeting of the committee, Presl- dent Charles D. Davis and 8 commit fee from the Business Mems assoc1- ation. presented resolutions which had been adopted by owners of Fairfield avenue property, who met yesterday afternoon in the Board of Trade rooms. Newfield building.
 The property owners met at the re-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-07-02

quest of President Davis and others. These property owners represented $3,000, 600 in property on Fairfield ave- nue. The matter which confronts them in connection with Fairfield ave- nue was thoroughly discussed. It was decided that the the thing for the city to do was to grant ten foot centers, and require the trolley company to give grooved rails, remove overhead feed cables. provide trolley poles of uniform size and style. and in other ways assist the city toward making the street one of beauty and of fit ting approach for the ew,expensive fountain to be placed at the junction of Fairfield avenue and Park avenue.
 Resolutions asking that the city withdraw its case from the courts so far as ten foot centers on Fairfield avenue are concerned. and grant the ten foot centers in consideration of the above proposed concessions from the trolley company, were passed and committee of five was chosen to submit the resolution to the Streets and Sidewalks committee and the Common council. This committee of five was made a permanent commit tee to represent the property owners in looking after their interests and furthering the work of paving Fair field avenue. The members are: President Davis, George R. Crawford,
 
 and E. M. Jennings.
 The Streets and Sidewalks commit tee submitted the resolutions of the property owners as communication, to the council and the council later referred it back to the Streets and Sidewalks committee.
 When the resolutions of the Streets and Sidewalks committee were read off in the report of that committee, there was no discussion of their mer- ly to adopt them.
 Members of the Paving and Sewer commission declare that they are ready now as they have always been to get the work under way. but they anticipate legal complications with the trolley company and it isn't ex- pected by them that the sewer work can be started. Col. M. H. Rogers, chairman of the cornuission, Frank T.. Staples, Walter B. Lashar and James H. O'Rourke do not see how it is possible to force the company to comply with the orders of the coun- ell. without a good deal of celay. The commission will meet as soon as the mayor acts upon the resolutions.
 AS an indication of what may be expected in the future, if the street is not given some immediate attention which will accomplish better condi- tions. a bill was submitted to the council last night asking that the city pay for a broken spring to an auto mobile of F. c. Sanford Manufactur- ing Co., The bill was referred to the committee on claims. >

NEW LONDON GETS
 READY FOR CONVENTION

The official call for the fifth annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association has been is- sued and the meeting will be held in New London, September 4, 5 and G.. Invitations have been sent to Presi- dent Taft and Vice President Sher- man, to the Governors of States and Mayors of cities along the entire At lantic seaboard, to the Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to leading trade bodies from all the At lantfc coast States. The city of New London and it's Board of Trade and Business Mems Association are at work on program of entertainment which will equal the best that has been provided in the history of this association.
 The headquarters of the convention will be at the Griswold Hotel, the large summer hostelry on the Groton side of the Thames River, and though the regular season of the hotel closes two days prior to the convention, the place will be held open for the enter vention. While most of the business will be done at this hotel, some of the larger meetings may be held in the opera house Or the arnory. New London is very much interested in the dolngs of the State convention, as it Is about to expend State appropria- tion of $1,000000 on public port ter nlnals, with the ultimate hope that it may be made a transatlantic steam ship terminal

SCHOOL
 MATTER IS STILL
 HELD IN ABEYANCE
Special Committee Instructed by Town Meeting to Look
 Further Into Project
tspecial to The Farmer, {,

Fairfield. July 2-The matter of a new school for Fairfield to replace the present Sherman or Middle school is stlll in the air, the proposition for the new school being sent back for fur -ther consideration to the special com mittee at the town meeting last ev- ening. It is probable that special meeting will be called in the near fu- ture as the next regular towns meet ing will not be held till October.
 The plan of the special committee in to erect new building on the pres ent Sherman site, the new school to cost about $5O,OO0. A nine-room, three story construction is proposed. It is planned to finish only four rooms at the present time and to add a room or two at time when deeded.
 Objections to the present site come from those who believe that a lot across the street from the school is much further removed from the trol- Hey lines and is therefore more ideal for a school, being more sanitary, quieter and much safer for the chil- firen. The delay means that the town will have another wait for the needed facilities in the Middle district.

AUTOISTS HAVE THEIR
 LICENSES RETURNED.

Secretary of State Matthew IF. Ros- CTS yesterday made public four decis- ions in automobile cases Louis q klinkhamer, whose license was sus- pended February 21, for using car belonging to his employer, without permission, is permitted to be again licensed as an operator from July l. for such length of time as there is no further justified complaint concern ing his driving
 Tony DeMarco, whose license was suspended March 2S for reckless driy- ing, is permitted "to have a license on and after July 1, until justified com plaint is received, when his license will be revoked"
 A. w. Scoville of Hartford was found blamelesS for the accident, in which horse belonging to Mrs. J. B. Nichols became frightened causing Mrs. Nichols sister to be thrown from the carriage. MT Scoville was on his proper side of the road and the sec retary, therefore, finds no reason that warrants the suspension of his li- cense.
 Otto Poit of Torrington, was found in need of further instruction in the operation of an automobile, but the circumstances of the accident in which he was involved were not such as to warrant the suspension of his li- cense.

MOTHER TAXES REMAINS OF
 WOMAN FLYER
Funeral of Willard, Manager of Squantum Aviation Meet,
 Tomorrow

The mother of Miss Harriet Quimby, whose life was crushed out in a 1000 root drop into Dorchester Bay from her monoplane, late yesterday after noon, arrived in Boston today, and took charge of the remains. Funeral arrangements will be made later The funeral of William A. H. Willard, the manager of the Squantum aviation meet being held at Atlantic, who was Miss Quimby's passenger in her fatal flight to Boston Light, will be held to- morrow morning.
 Willard will be buried at Sterling, Mass. The meet, which was sched- uled to run through until Saturday, will continue.
 ''I will fulfill my contract to fly dur ing the remainder of the week, said Miss Blanche Scott. who was pros ion fall. Although yesterdays acci- dent was horrible and for a time un- nerved me, I will not give up fly ing"
 dozen explanations of the cause of the first heavier than air, machine fatality in New England were voiced today by aviators and experts. The most logical seemed to be that the controlling wire broke when Miss Quimby started her downward glide, snapping the fusilage and throwing the tail up and the head down with such great. force that the two avia- tors were hurtled from their seats as If shot from a catapult. The wreck age today was dragged from the five feet of water, where it stuck in the mud head down. Some mechanical parts may be saved. Otherwise it is a total loss
 Miss Quimby's neck was broken, her spine snapped in several places, her right arm broken almost completely o ffand her legs literally smashed from knee to thigh. She struck the wa ter as does a diver. Willard struck the water flat. on his face and stom ach, this being accountable for the terribly battered condition of his body.
