POLICE MAY BE ASKED TO AID
 ENFORCEMENT
Redgate Expects to Get Re quest to Cooperate With
 Federal Officers.

Although Bridgeport police have so far taken no hand in the enforce ment of the federal prohibition amendment, it is likely that they will be called upon to do so in the near future. The 'dry'' law will be en- forced in Connecticut through the Internal Revenue offices in New York. James Shevlin, supervising federal prohibition agent, will be in charge of the district.
 The police of New York city have been called upon by the federal agents to assist in enforcing the pro- hibition amendment, and 1t Is consid- cred very probable that the Bridge port police will be included in similar general orders which will be issued from Shevlin's New York office.
 Superintendent of Police John H. Redgate stated this morning that he has received no orders as yet relative to nHlice cooperation with the gov ernment officials, but expects to re- ceive notice at any time. When the looked.for orders arrive, the local police will comply with them and as- sist the federal agents in their task of running down Illicit 1quor sellers and other persons who attempt tc violate the prohibition amendment.

No argument would be received from any sources except from duly authorized attorneys, MT. Martin asserted.

SENT OUT BILLS ASKING LICENSE
 MONEY REFUND
Some Towns Cannot Comply Except Town Meeting
 So Votes.

The County Commissioners have sent out bills to each city and town in the county asking that the money for the unused parts of liquor licenses be refunded. The commissioners have already received the money from several towns but do not expect that all the cash will be sent back at once and there may be long de- lays in several cases because some towns cannot refund the money un less it is ordered by vote of a town meeting.
 In some cases the towns may refuse to pay by advice of counsel. In such instances the commissioners will take no further action but win wait until the next session of the General Assembly in 1921. in order to have aI act passed to cover the doubtful cases
 The commissioners say the wording of the present act regarding the re- funding of license money is so indeh- mite that it is difficult to tell how to proceed. They will receive any money refunded by cities and towna but will not take any legal action 1o collect the money at present.
