most of the parents in securing an up-to-date school to replace the old North and Middle schools long a dis grace to the borough. The commit tee on sites reported three as offered to them: MT. A. J. Smith ct al offered two acres on the Hanover road in ex- change for the South school; MT. c. B. Taylor two or more acres fronting on Depot road, on the old fair grounds for S7OO, and the Methodist Church society offered the eight acres on Queen street for $1,2O0. After con siderable discussion as to methods of procedure, a vote was finally passed to purchase the property on Queen street. Then another vote instructtng the present district committee to bring the selection of this site to the notice of the board of school visitors for a.p- provaI as by law required and report to district Then adjournment was made to Monday evening, July 2S' at the same hour. Many of the taxpay- CTS present did not vote on any of the pending matters on the question of probable cost, but all our people are agreed upon the desirability of new school building, and as has been stated before in these columns the sale of the South school by the district will make such a return as to materially reduce the tax-rate. The committee have been assured by that hustling real estate dealer, Jacob Black that he will sell the property for $5,OOO or about five-sevenths of the contem- plated expenditures for site and school Altogether the outlook for progress is good.

 Attorney E. O. Hull of Bridgeport had a narrow experience with the un- certain buzz wagon" yesterday at Sandy Hook, which he will not soon forget It happened this way He motored that day from Bridgeport to Newtown with his daughter who is about to take a vacation, and expected to join some friends on the afternoon train north from the local station He delivered his charge, and then, as is customary with so. many autoists made the spin to Sandy Hook to make the turn at, Post Office square with out stopping, the test of efficiency in handling a car among all our car owners. Miscalculating the distance or Iinacquainted with its difficulties, he went too far towards the post of fee to make the turn, and was com pel1ed to go to. the east of. sign-post up the abrupt Gas street rise before turning the circle. Here something happened in again reaching roadway to the bridge. The car struck the bridge railing with terrific force, wedging the forward wheels so that the rear truck lost it's momentum in sideway Iurch and rebound, but not rising upward, which would have thrown him over the bridge to the rocks below. MT. Hull was unhurt but 1t was a very narrow escape and the villagers looking on were in sus- pense for a few terrible moments. The car was brought to the Walker garage and it's owner returned the same night with his car again in commission.

Justice and Equality All were taste fully decorated with flags, bunting and flowers. On the float representing I.-r erty was 8 young woman attired as the Goddess and two young girls.
 The float Truth was a huge pillar bearing a golden ball about which were clustered five golden haired maid ems at which a purple attired man in Colonial garb viewed with admira- tion- The similitude was well repre- scented.
 Justice was represented by a young woman blindfolded and seated before the scales. Several other young women in Grecian costumes were her aides. Equality was personif1ed by two members of Bridgeport aerfe, one as a capitalist the other as a work inEma n and both seated facing each other.
 One of the handsomest floats in the parade was that of Norwalk aerie. It was fashioned on an automobile and represented Liberty. The body and running gear of the car were almost hidden in flowers, roses and carna- tions of a red, white and blue being used profusely. In the front of the float was a huge floral eagle with out stretched wings. Seated in the ton neau of the car was a handsome young woman suitably attired to rep- resent the Goddess of Liberty. Waterbury aerie also had a hand some automobile float. It was deco rated with flags and bunting and a profusion of red poppies and green leaves. Several members of Water bury aerie with their ladies rode in the float.
 One of the most elaborate floats in the procession was that representing the Loyal Order of Moose, 289, which was drawn by six black steeds, curbed by members of the degree team dress 7 by helmets of the Norsemen type. The float itself represented the deep wa ters Of lake upon which the antlers and neck of a huge moose appeared. Closely followed behind were three Indian naidens in a canoe. The exhibit closed by the foot guard of the Moose attfred as were those of the degree team ahead.

CODA GONE WITH LULU HACKETT AND HIS SUNDAY CLOTHES

Don't expect me home until late. I'm going to play baseball in Seymour today said Steve Coda to his mother as Ls left his home in Casey's Court near Greene street early Sunday morning Steve when he left the house, carried a new dress suit case which he told his mother contained his baseball suit.
 He did not go to Seymour to play ball. however. but instead met Lulu Hackett of 243 Deacon street and dis appeared with her. Neither of the young people have been seen or heard from since and the police have been notified of the disappearance.
 The fact that the girl and young man had gone off together was not discovered until Sunday night. Mrs. Hackett happened over to Mrs. Goda's house to see if her daughter was over there for it was known that Steve and Lulu had been going around together off and on for some time. Mrs. Coda said that her son was in Seymour playing ball but looking into his clothes closet she discovered that ali his good clothes had been taken away and she knew at once that instead of having a baseball suit packed in the new dress suit case, Steve had taken all the clothes he would need along with him.
 Mrs. Hacszett and Mrs. Coda then began to worry in earnest and when the young people did not return to their homes Sunday night or Monday they notified the police of the dis appearance and Detective Peter Hall is now working on the case.
 Investigation has revealed the fact that on Thursday of last week Steve drew $166.13 out of the savings bank and had evidently been planning to run sway with the girl for some time. 4I-.. TT nE C. Company's plant and Coda worked nnr 4l,e EcIectric Cable cornpanY.
