GILL WANTS CLERKSHlP
RATIFIED BY ORDINANCE

Assessor Lawrence J. Gill is holding
out against the her taree mem bers
Of tn. assessors ncard in the matter
of the selection of an assistant clerk,
for which office the Board of Appor-
tionrrent has allowed 81, 500. The
board in special session yesterday af-
ternoon elected John r. Bowling, at
present a clerk in the engineers de-
partment, to fill the appointment. AS
SCISSOR Gill protested the appointment
stating that as the Common Council
had not created the office by ordi-
nance, such a selection would be
illegal. When it came to matter of
voting, Mr.. Gill left the room. The
other three, however, proceeded and
cast their votes for Mr.. Bowling.
Assessor Gill when seen today stat
ed that he withdrew from the meet
ing as he did not feel that in selecting
a clerk at this time that the board was
acting legally, as it was legal for the
appointment of permanent clerks to
be made only following the creation
of the office by proper legislation
ST voice no opposition to Mr.. Dow
ling said Mr.. Gill, ct understand
that he is a thoroughly capable young
man, and would have voted for him
yesterday, if there was an ordinance
creating that office. If an ordinance
should be created, my choice would
be Mr.. Bowling. The fact that money
is appropriated for the position does
not give our board authority to name
a clerk without an ordnance
Assessor Frank J. Hughes, president
of the board stated that the board
had selected Mr.. Bowling and that his
work was to start Immediately ''If
the Common Council should see fit to
create an ordinance for this office,
will again call a special meeting and
we will elect Mr.. Downing said Pres
ident Hughes.
Assessor Gill suggests that to
smooth over the present difficulty, an
ordinance should be passed by the
council at their special meeting this
evening legally creating the office

WHEELER MAKES
fine DONATION TO
TOWN OF FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, April Samuel Wheeler,
owner of the Stratfield Hotel and Sc
curity building in Bridgeport, two OF
the most important structures in that
city, who is about to erect two other
modern buildings, one an auditorium
there, intends to be a benefactor to
Fairfield. Mr.. Wheeler has let con-
tracts for, and work has already
started upon twelve room school
building which will meet his ideas of
what a modern school should be. The
new school will be built in Marine
avenue on a site recently purchased
from Wallace M. Bu1k1ey.
With the building of Mr.. Whee1er's
temporary school, steps will at once
be taken for the erection of a fire
the town. The town has voted $780,
600 for this work, but it is believed
that when completed the bills will
total much above that figure. Mr..
Wheeler has again come to the res
cue of the town in this matter and
suggests that the town will not be
assessed a cent above the half hum
bred thousand for the school.
Mr.. Wheeler's school will serve as
a temporary structure and will prob
ably be ready the latter part of next
month. 1t is then intended to remove
the classes from the now overcrowd-
ed Sherman school and tear down that
building, after which the town will
build its own construction.
The school board held their meet
ing yesterday and adopted the plans
as suggested by Mr.. Wheeler and
voted to go ahead and secure con-
tracts for the towns building.
Mr.. Wheeler has stated that when
the town has it's own school house
finished he will turn over his tenn
porary structure to the town with the
provision that the building is used
by the young men Of the town as a
club house.
Thirty feet of property has been
added to the Sherman site in Spring
street on which the present school
now stands This amount has been
purchased from DR.. w. H. Donald
son.
The house of the Fairfield firemen,
an Independent organization, is on the
Sherman site. The hremen have re-
cetved orders that they will soon
have to vacate the premises, as it
is intended that the whole property
shall be used for school purposes. The
fire company has not made any plans
as yet.

new PATROLMEN
MARCH OUT ON DUTY

Strange sights greeted early risers
this morning in the three precincts
of the city, as in parade formation
the first details of the new platoon
system filed from the respective sta
lions at 8 a. m. for their first duty
and military appearance although a
general sense of newness was notice
able.
Assigned on their various beats the
new men were inclined to walk with
a sprightliness which afterwards wore
off as their feet became sore. In some
instances the stiffness of the uniform
was c1afing at the neck and adjust
ments OF the harness was necessary
before the steady pull at the tiresmoe
grind could be continued.
On one beat the new man spent
most of his hours in sami1iarizing him

CIGAR GIVES CLUE;
THREE BURGLARY
SUSPECTS ARRESTED

Peter Petrino, Leonard Grasso and
Michael Montani, three youths well
known in pool-roonls and other resorts
in the heart of the city as well as the
East Side are in the county Jail await
ing trial for burglary. Behind their
arrest and capture the strength of
a mere cigar-band hangs the story of
one of the cleyerest pieces of persis-
tence and close detective work which
has come to light in several months.
The feed and provision house Of
F'euer Brothers, 1913 North avenue was
burgIarized on the night of March 81,
when $50 in money and two boxes of
cigars were stolen after entrance had
been gained by forcing the front door.
The cigars were OF a special brand.
A suspect was later held for inves-
tigat ton but proved an alfbi. It was
then that Sergeant Hall was detailed
on the case and told to find the men
about thetown. Yesterday he heard
that in a Lexington avenue lodging
house one young man had been freely
supplied with cigars Of the make stol-
en-. Going to the address given, he
found Peter Petrino. When asked to
the suspect denied all knowledge of
the burglary. He later was forced to
admit that he had received some of
the brand from Leonard Graaso. It
was midnight before the latter could
be found and had to be pulled from
his bed. A catechism was framed by
the detective and resulted in full con-
fession by 2 A. M. all had been round
ed UP and placed under arrest.
That evidence may be prepared con-
tinuance of the case was granted by
Judge Wilder in the city court this
until tomorrow The prison
ers were rernanded to the county Jail.
1t is believed that other breaks will be
against them before sentence
is imposed.
