The truck was owned by the M. & M. Trucking Company ot Jersey City, was being driven by Will liam J. Dewdy, an employe of the | trucking company, and was loaded with seven tons of merchandise con- signed to a Wallingford merchant. Ac- cording to witnesses the motorman of the car was at fault for the accident as he was running his car at an un- safe speed. The accident happened under one of the big arch lights, the truck being partly on the tracks at the time of the collision which made so much noise that the crash was heard for quite a distance. The front end of the trolley car was completely demolished, the front vestibule being broken into thousands of pieces, not one of which hit the motorman, his chief injury being caused by being i thrown against the controller box. He 1 was taken to his home in the Strat. ford ambulance and was treated by Dr. D. R. Howland. Only slight dam ages were done to the truck.

 Now that the Dunlap property con
 troversy is about over the concensu of opinions of several of the leadin residents seems to be that the smal
 strip on land owned by Mrs. Margare De Lacour with a frontage of abou 25 feet on King street should be pur | nhaSa1 Inv tho This niPPa land which cuts a jog into the schoo property if purchased from it's owne would make straight lines for tn
 school grounds from North Parade t King street and would be a big i'm provement to the school site. It thought that eventually it will b
 necessary to purchase this pieco c land and now seems to be the prope
 time to consummate the deal.
