WESTPORT

The dispute which has long existed between the owners of some of the property at Compo Beach, the town of Westport. and campers and others who wish to use the shore front, seems in way of settlement through the filing of a quit claim deed in the office of the town clerk yesterday whereby Mrs Annette Vail Schlaet becomes the ac- Sual and absolute owner of about 40 acres of shore front property with all of the rights pertaining thereto. the deed being signed by about 35 of the heirs of the Nathaniel L. Hill estate, which Included the piece of property : 3n question
 This forty acres lies along the shore at Coupo Beach, between the highway and the Sound, and includes 'Pug's Rnolf' which for a. long time has been, used by campers and others, who contended that 1t was owned by the town of Westport. Some Of the deeds to other property called for boundar- les at high water mark upon the sound, others at low water mark, and stin others are. bounded by the high way. The quit claim filed yesterday gives sll- of the rights to the Sound, and between high and low water, ex- ceptfng only the rights of the town of Westp0rt in the highway The town has also quit-claimed any rights which it was assumed to have in this piece of property
 The consideration for the deed is the payment to the Westport Library Of $500. and '-s1o0 and other valuable considerations to the signers of the deed The property included in the boundaries includes what is known as ''Pug's KnoIl,'' which is described ila the deed as ''Winnepug's KnoI1.''
