 Bankrupt Connecticut Co, COUPON EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SAY TROL-
 LEY IS COMMUNITY PROBLEM

While no statement was forthcom- ing from the Connecticut company this morning as to what attitude the company would take in answer to the meeting of the city's zone committee at the City Hall last night it was fnti mated that the company might pay the S7O,0O0 which they owe the city for the Stratford avenue bridge be- fore suit could be brought.
 When Manager Joseph S. Goodwin was seen this morning he refused to comment on the meeting of last night, and referred all to John Co1ton, executive assistant to President Storrs at New Haven.
 MT. Cotton stated this morning that as far as he knew the Connecticut company had never hat1y refused to pay the s7O,000 due the City of Bridgeport and intimated that if the city should receive a check for the amount they would be forestalled in their efforts to bankrupt the Con- necticut company, bring about a re- organization and the five cent fare.
 Asked if it would send the company into bankruptcy if they were forced to nav the $70,O00 now, MT. CoIton admitted it would hit them hard but refused to discuss the financial situa- ton of the company beyond saying he was not aware they had ever re- fused to pay the money
 Asked if the power plant and the rolling stock of the company couud be attached, MT. Colton declined to say as he claimed he was not accu rafely familiar with the financial status of things at this time

 MISREPRESENTED
 STATE OF HEALTH
Insurance Go. Is Refusing To Pay On This
 Ground.

That she had misrepresented the state of her health when she took out a life insurance policy, is the charge of the Prudential Insurance Co.,, made today in the common pleas court in refusing to pay a $500 policy on the life of Mary Kane, formerly of West port The company is contesting the claim of Charles B. Kane, beneficiary of the policy, who is suing to recover the $500.
 It was alleged by Attorney E. J. McManus, counsel for the company, that when the deceased took out the policy she was suffering from disease of the kidneys. In reply to question as to her health she is alleged to have replied that she had no serious ail- ment. Dr. M. " B. Durham of Greenfield Hill, who treated Mary Kane in Westport before she died said she had no chronic disease at the time she took out the policy. She died about six months after the policy was issued. Judge Walsh reserved decision in the case.

 This opinion delivered by Superintendent Slawson, before large asembge of the Chamber of Commerce. at the weekly luncheon in the Sratfield yesterday
 Mr. Sawson reiterated his demand for High school for the East Side.
 He said that the studies taught the do not ton in the after life of the chd and he demanded better curriculum, something adapted to attach the child to it's environment to fit him better for the world he will do adult.
 These rather revolutionary declarations incidental the real object of his speech which to show that thousands of school children half time.
 About million dollars worth of schools needed change in the system like the full year school will enable two sessions day. and hours of instruction to each pupil
