SVEN MURBERG GETS
 HIS LICENSE AFTER BITTER ARGUMENTS


 The county commissioners an nounced today that they had grant ed a wholesale liquor license transfer to former Alderman Sven D. Msr- berg. who wants to sell liquor in. packages at 3 Wilson Street, Black Rock. Wealthy summer residents in that section and several clergymen headed a remonAtrance against the application and the hearing was held yesterday.
 There were IT persons present to favor the application and only seven against. The commissioners said to- day that the majority of residents in the neigh borhooda seemed to favor Murberg. It is understood that the remonstrants will appeal. to the su- perior court.
 Murberg has been trying for sew eral years to get a license in Black Rock. Last year he was granted a wholesale beer license but an appeal to the superior court that tribunal reversed the commissioners on the ground that no license of that kind could be issued.

MAY HAVE AUTOMATIC
 TRAFFIC POLICE

Bridgeport may have inanimate traf- f1c policemen. within a. few weeks if the Automobile Club of Bridgeport ap- proves a plan that has been suggested by some of the members.
 Conference has been held with Police Commissioner George s. Hill on the advisa biIity of the matter, and that official agreed that the city would most certainly use the traffic regulators, provided they are given.
 Someof the members of the -Automo- bile club have proposed that they pur- chase standards to be placed in the spot a. traffic policeman would ordina- ri1y stand, at corners not policed now. It was proposed that the club buy the stands and give them to the city. The plan was met so favorabIy that the police commission head was consulted on the matter and he approved it.
 The standards are used in South Norwalk. They have four arms on them and by pointing out the proper side of the street for a, car to take, they help keep traffic moving in such a manner that 1t is not involved. At night a light is placed on it.
 A meeting of the club will be held next week and the matter will be dis cussed. As result, busy corners that have no traffic policeman now, may have the standards.

 Section 3 provides that no corpora ferred upon it by the act within the territory where any chartered corpor- ation shall be engaged in the busi- ness of selling and distributing to the public electricity for light, heat and power, until it shall have given notice of it's intention so to do to the public utilities commission with the names and location of the persons and cor porationS to whom it proposed to sell said electricity.
