 Fare.
Special to The Times.)

Stratford. Jan. 23-J John Onofrey appeared before the board of select men at their meeting in the town hall last evening to ascertain why he had been notified to stop delivering cinders to the town after having been given a verbal agreement by the board to spread cinderEson the various streets about town for a term of one year. MT Onofrey, who claimed that he had worked up profitable clnder business, told the members of the board that they had given him a years contract and on the strength of this agreement he had cancelled all of his other orders to supply the town. He also claimed that he was told by First Se1ectman Abraham Wellington that in case the town could not find streets to put the cin- ders on a lot would be secured where they could be stored for future use. MT. Wellington denied ever aggreeing to any proposition of this kind and asked if any papers could be shown where such an agreement was made This MT. Onofrey could not do but he claimed that he was told an agree ment would be signed if he wanted 1t. When told by Mayor Wellington that no such an agreement as he claimed was ever made MT. Onofrey referred to Selectmen Reinhold Person and Everett Snif1n, who he claimed, were present when he was engaged and they said that they did not recall agreeing to have the cinders stored in a lot if a surplus was obtained but they did remember that they promis- ed to keep him busy carting the cin- ders for some time. r.. Onofrey, who is under contract with the United Illuminating Go. to remove all the cinders made by them, claims that he is out quite a sum because of the refusal of thet own to take any more and he insists that his agreement is still holding.
