The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-02-03
STRAIT FORD

According to all reports the board 1 of relief in session at the town hall IS having it's hands full, with plenty | or remonstrants against the recent increase in assessments, which in some cases have been deemed unrea- sonable. There is always a certain quota of taxpayers who believe they have not gotten proper treatment, but this years session bids fair to break all attendance records of the board. There seems to be opinion voiced in some circles, that the legality of the recent raise is questionable due to the short notice given property owners well as because of the al- legged fact that not all of the assess ors, according to the statutes, made the estimates, but in some instances the work was done by but one party. Interesting developments are expect ed. Because space would not permit, the entire list of prize donors to the bridge and whist held Friday by the Ladies Auxiliary of the American | Legion, was not published, only those prizes given by merchants be- ing mentioned. The private donors were Mrs. Ray Jones, Mrs. William l John Reitter, Mrs Robert Wheeler Mrs. w. H. Austin, Mrs. M. B. De- | Lacour, Mrs. William Hart, Mrs. Elm ma Johnson, Mrs. Lucy Garner, Wal ter Oddly, Mrs. Julian Clinton, Mrs. l William Williams and Mrs. w. J. l Pegg.
 l The Ladies Auxiliary feel that l their organization was signally hon. l ored at the first annual state con- vention just closed in Bridgeport, by | the election of a member, Mrs. Will | liam Bristol, as state treasurer, and | of Tre a,,1n o1, tN L,n ecutive committee. The Stratford delegates were Mrs. Lucy Garner and | Mrs. John Reitter. Others from stratford in attendance were Mrs | William Hart Mrs. Julia Clinton, i Mrs. Stanley Beach, Mrs. William Bristol, Mrs. G. w. Carey and Mrs. l Emma Johnson.
 l On Friday evening at o'clock meeting will be addressed by Donald Sammis at the Ely Whitney school on | Huntington road. The council-man- ager form of government will be thoroughly explained and discussed, On Sunday afternoon at 4:30 a meeting will be held in Stempers hall on Barnum avenue for the benefit of those of the Hollister Heights section who are unable conveniently to attend sessions during the week. Donald Samrnis will be on hand, and prob ably other speakers, who will address I tions to those interested in the pro- posed council-manager form of gov- ernment. MT. Stenapel, who is a se- 1 lectnan will be present. It is evil | dent that sentiment in favor of the l movement is growing and it no longer l seems a question to whether the | tcounc1i-manager CT some similar form -i of government will be adopted. but l rather a question of how soon the | change can be effected.
