his failure to do SO, was impaired by
Prosecuting Attorney A. L. Delaney,
today, to William Curran, the aged
Strat6eld farmer, whose defiance of
the health authorities, during the past
two weeks, has brought him into the
limelight.
Curran appeared before the prose-
cutor this afternoon, in response to a
summons issued after the discovery
by agents of the health board, Satur-
day, that he had delivered two bot
ties of milk which were not sold un-
der the conditions specified by the new
laws.
NH. Delaney stated this morning
that he had not determined whether
an arrest was to be made in the case,
but added that he intended to in
struct Curran as to the law and the
penalty for failure to observe it. He
said that If later Curran is found to
be violating the law, the maximum
penalty provided for such cases will
be recommended in court.
1t was reported, this morning, that

accept pastczrized milk. and will not

sugar was obtainable in New Haven

a grocer put considerable on sale in
five pound lots. Before the store

opened, windows were broken and
other damage was done. Then the
police got an order and the sugar was
