tired from the Bridgeport police de-
partment. was slated for Chief Mich
ols' Job, Investigation as to the reE-
ability OF the report reveals the facts
That there11s no Foundation to the ru-
NOR and that Captain Cronan has
never been approached 10y anyone in
authority from Stratford relative to
taking the job. Mayor Abraham We'll
lington, who is the only town official
in authority to engage the services of
another chief for the Stratford police
department., stated yesterday that
Captain Cronan had never been ap-
preached on coming to Stratford to
serve In the capacity of chief of the
police department. The mayor also
said that Captain Cronan with his
wide and valuable experience as an
officer would make a valuable addi-
ton to the Stratford force and that
his services were in great demand in
Ia number of places, but the mayor
says If Stratford were fortunate
enough to secure the services OF such
la valuable man the town would be
unable to pay the salary which would
be necessary to keep him. No. says
the mayor, 'as long as Chief Nichols
faithfully performs his duties and I
am the towns chief executive there
will be no change Andrew F.
Eaton, clerk of the Board of Public
Safety, who was also asked If his
board had made any such recon-
mendatfons to the mayor, said that
there was no truth in the. report and
that such a thing had never been
ne entioned at any meeting OF his
board. .-..--.-
