MYSTIC
State Highway Commissioner Bennett
 Orders Stone Removed from Quiam- baug Cove-Mice May Have Caused
 Fire at McCausIand Home.

State Highway Commissioner Ben nett has ordered the stone that was baug cove highway bridge removed. This is the result of the hearing in the matter two weeks ago when sev- eral residents of Quiambaug, boat owners most of them, protested against the dumping of the stone as a menace to power boat navigation. When the situation was fully explain ed to MT. Bennett he ordered the stone removed Both Representative Wilcox and Senator Hinckley had discussed the matter of the obstruction with MT. Bennett. The highway commissioner stated, however that the stone would not be removed for few weeks for the reason that he wants to ascertain whether they are really effective or not against further sagging of the wall on the east side of the passage. In the meantime other. means of brac- ing the wall will be considered and it is possible that the use of piles will be resorted to.
 Quiambaug residents are glad to learn of the highway superintendent's s decision in this matter. The removal of the stone, that is, of all. the stone that have fallen in such way as to obstruct the channel will involve con- siderable expenditure and the services of diver will be necessary probably.
 Mice May Have Caused Fire.
