The Burns men are again visitors in this city. In fact the detectives who operate under the great New York sleuth have never ceased to be :n the city according to the reports going the rounds in police circles to- day. This time it is not vice cru sade that is taking up the attention of the Burns men, but has to do with the Binkowitz case which startled the staid old village of Milford about a year ago this time when Benjamin Binkowitz was found murdered in Minford with about 20 or 30 stab wounds on his body.
 The case is well known around these parts and was the chief news of the day at the time of it's hap pening. The murderer who killed Binkowitz has never been apprehend- ed despite the efforts of the state and local and amateur s1euths that believed they had leading clues to the solution.
 The Burns force are at present op- erating in these parts with the as- sistance of Fred "One Eye" Baker, who is the same gent who obtained his release from the Derby jail when he profesSed to have information that would lead to the arrest of the guilty parties in the Binkowitz case It was on a tip fronl~ Baker that Hartford Jimmy Lewis was brough, to this city and placed under arrest but was later allowed to go when the police admitted they had nothing or him.

WANT TO KNOW WHO IS DRAWING
 $625 A MONTH

The Eastern Construction com pany's bill for s30,1s396 for work in the demolition of the old bridge to Steeplechase Island was held up by the Board of Apportionment at their meeting yesterday afternoon for in- vestigation.
 The board wanted further explana- tion of several of the items and ap- pointed a subcommittee to investi- gate and find out who was the super lntendent mentioned in the itemized account rendered by the Construction company that drew $625 a month for overseeing the work.
 This contract waS let by Mayor Wilson without competitive bids on the cost plus 10 per cent. basis.
 The bill rendered shows monthly charges including labor, insurance, miscellaneous expense, ma terial, rent al of plant, salary of superintendent and 10 per cent profit to the East ern Engineering company. It was O.K-'d by Mayor Wilson and Maurice McKenna, the citys superintendent of construction.
 No one seemed to know who acted as superintendent and drew the $625 month although Superintendent McKenna supposed that William Shaughnessy, president of the Eastern engineering company, was the man.
 Members of the Board of Appor- tfonment questioned the right of the president of the company drawing such a salary when the company was getting 10 per cent. of the cost and the city was paying also for the use of the companys plant and machin- cry. The bills were held up until the subcommittee make it's report It was intimated that the bill o1 $30, presented yesterday does not include the whole of the bill fol the work and that another bill vii be presented later. The original cost of the bridge is said to have been only s25,O00 and il was valued by the assessors before the city bought it at $4O,0Oo. The board also transferred s15,oOt from the miscellaneous account to tht Board of Education to pay the in creases in the salaries of schoo teachers for the coming year. The board also authorized the transfer of $12,612 from the outside poor account of the Charities De. partment to the account for supplie. at Hillside Home and $25O from tht supplies account of the Board O. Recreation to the camp account The next meeting of the board vii be held Aug. 16.
