The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-20

Very recently a piece, about 200 rect frontage the water, was sold for $S5, 900 and I am told this property could be bought for $17,oOo, 15 years ago. If the Burritt Go. will give the city the same amount of land on Arc tic street, it would be fair bargain, thus making the approach to the new
 bridge 49 feet wider from Knowlton street to the bridge. They Ghe Bur- ritt Co.) own both sides of Arctic street from Knowlton to the water and as they have also had the use of Arctic street for 20 years or more without any investment or taxes it would only appear to be fair for them
 to make this exchange. Do not give it away. It will make a good site for an engine house, a, city yard, recrea- ton pier or an opening for people to get into the water without trespass- ing. It is a good location for fire boat
 Attorney John S. Pullman appeared for the Burritt Go. He said part of ] the street had already been closed by the Acme Shear Go. and that the Bur ritt Go. was only asking to close a part of the street which was used by
 no one but the company's employees. 1 Alderman Daniel P. Harrigan led
 the opposition to the closing of parts of Frederick and Herbert streets as proposed in petitions signed by off, l cials of the Standard. Mfz. Co.,, Parrott Varnish Go. and Parsons Foundry Co
 Alderman Harry M. Clark also op-
 posed the closing of these streets. w.
 E. Schwartz and B. F. Clark were also fopposed.
 1 Attorney John Cornell also op-
 posed the petition. Attorney George s. Hill, who appeared in favor of the petition, said that all the property was formerly owned by Henry Parrott and
 that Frederick street had never been
 accepted by the city and he had some
 doubt as to whether or not the council
 could have any voice in the closing of ] the street.
