sTONINGToN

The assessors of the town of Ston- ington, and James R. MacCoT, sec- retary and treasurer, and W. B.Mac- Coll assistant treasurer of the LOT raine Manufacturing company. were in consultation on Thursday, relative to the eax exemption of the proposed big addition to the branch plant in Paw catuck. The matter of granting ex- emption for ten years was discussed at the recent town meeting and it was voted to apply half rate of taxation to the proposed new building. Both parties discussed the matter thorough ly and, so it is said, an amicable so- lution was reached. It is therefore probable that the new work will be To- cated in Pawcatuck and not Pawtuck- ct where the main plant of the com pany is situated.
 Reconstruction Work in France will be the subject discussed by Miss Flor ence Valentine at the next meeting of the Stonington Travel club. She was a member of the Smith College unit in France. She is sister of Robert Val entine. of Westerly.

STEINMETZ SUED FOR
$4,000 ON CONTRACT
Broke Agreement in Proposed Auto
mobile Company, Says Friend"
of Capitalists.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Charles P.
Steinmetz. of the General Electric
Company, Schenectady, was sued yes
terday for $4,000 damages in the
supreme court. Patrick Hirsch, who
arranged plan for financing COM
pany to manufacture an electric auto
mobile invented by Steinmetz, is
plaintiff.
Hirsch says he is an acquaintance
OF bankers and capitalists. In 1911,
he AYERS, Steinmetz. who was then en-.
gagged in perfecting an electric auto
mobile, asked him to fnd capital for
a proposed corporation to be known
as the Steinmetz Electric Car Com
pany. Hirsch introduced the defend
ant to Albert B. Benesch and Morris
c. RoseDbaum, bankers doing bust
ness under the name of A D. Benesch
& Co. and they agreed to finance the
new corporation. he says.
Thereafter. Hirsch adds. Steinmetz
asked him to get the bankers to re
lease him from his contract with
them and Hirsch secured the release
for $4,000 cash. Subsequently, he
says. he secured a syndicate Of cap
italists to finance the proposed cor
poration with the understanding that
he was to have one.fourth interest
in the corporation. AS the contract
with the syndicate was not carried
out. he estimates that he suffered a
loss of $4,000 in, anticipated profits.
