The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-07-20

| curns tances it seems that the actior | Of the meeting may fairly be con
 sidered an instruction to the select
 men to remove the bath houses.
 tIn my opinion the selectmen ha(
 the authority to take the action they l took, without any express direction by the town. and without the aid o the statutes cited by their counsel | as aN justification.
 '"The locus was the absolute prop | erty of the town; in the absence .o1
 the special appointment of other GUS 1 todians the selectmen were bound tc protect it against encroa chment They | found trespassers upon the beach who after the receipt of ample notice to remove their bath houses refused 1 to remove the obstruction. In Criest vs. Arnihyn. 80 Conn 2SO, it was held 1 that it was the duty of custodians j of the city's land to protect the land 1 from encrOachment.'
 The Stony Brook Social club will hold another outing at the Stony Brook l grounds Sunday July 28.
 1 Registering at the Westport hotel yesterday were Charles Walter of South Norwalk, A. J. Knowlton, Bel N. Y, and E.. A. Clark, New London. L. A. Dupont is on a six weeks business trip through Europe Those farmers who have started the l digging of their potatoes report a small yield. with the product much un- dersized.
 The cigars are on Fred Bradley, the Main street hardware man. MT. Brad ley is an early riser and early opens up his place of business in Main St. Either somebody moved the hands of the clock ahead or the figures were read wrongly, for MT. Bradley .un- bundled himself yesterday morning an hour ahead of time. An hour ahead of his schedule is about 5 o'clock, a time when honest folks are getting in the last lap of good nights rest. As is always the case, Mr. Bradley believed he overslept and hustled from his home in Saugatuck to Westport. Oth- CT business men around the center had the laugh on MT. Bradley but he took it all good naturedly
