M'NE|LS AFTER WHITNEY TRACT
 FOR COAL YARD Would Pay About $75,OOO For Six Acres If Tracks
 Are Permitted. WANT ALDERMEN
 TO RATIFY PLAN Details of Mysterious Pur- chase Becomes Known in
 Realty Circles.

Details of the proposed sale Of six acre tract between North Washington avenue and the Pequonnock river, owned by Mrs. Mary F. Whitney, which hitherto has been attended with much mystery, became known to- day.
 The intending purchaser is The Ar chibald McNeil & Sons Co.,, wholesale and retail coal dealers, who plan to erect on thePequonnocki river coal pockets to supplant those they occupy at present on property recently sold by Frank Miller to the Salts Textile Co. The McNeil corporation leased the pockets from Miller several years ago when it bought Miller's coal bus mess
 Many conjectures as to the identity of the persons back of the petitions for permission to lay railroad tracks in streets in the vicinity of the prop erty have been hazarded during the last two months, during which nego- tiations have been carried on. All the parties in interest either have refused to disclose, or have professed ignor- ance of their identity.
 With a view to obviating the oppo- sition that has arisen to the several plans already outlined as to linking the waterfront property with the Berk- shire division of the New Haven road, Mary E. Whitney has prepared for the common council another petition.
 This will ask for the right to extend a spur track, for which permission al- ready has been granted to the Stand ard Mfg. Co.,, through private prop erty owned by Henry F. Parrott. brother of Mrs. Whitney, across Forth Washington avenue, at grade, into the six acre tract which the McNeils tn- tend to purchase.
 The property to the north of this tract is owned by the Naugatuck Val ley Ice Co., It is bounded on the west by North Washington avenue. and the south by Wakelee street. It has wa- terfront of about 450 feet.
 The selling price, conditioned upon the city's granting to the petitioner the right to lay the desired track, is fixed at approximately $75,00o
