Upon receipt of the communi- cation Town Engineer Kerr was in- structed to make an investigation of the proposition and to report to the Council As result of the investi- gation the Council, through Mayor Jones, made the water company a coudter proposal, offering to pur- chase the plant for the sum of S132 S00.00. The figures submitted on both sides include sum of approxi- mately $30,OO0.00 in bank held as a reserve fund for depreciation

Whether or not the present Bridge port Boxing Commission will con tinue to have Jurisdiction over the sport in this city, or whether a new commission will be named, to com ply with the new boxing law, is an open question. One of the important questions taken up at the organiza- ton of the State Commission yester- day in Hartford was to recommend to the various municipalities in which bouts are staged to appoint commissions to be comprised of three members as promptly as possible.
 There are three members of the present Brid dgeport body, while in some of the other cities the member ship exceeds the quota. The local mmissioners are Al Burdick, Jack Connors and Arthur Brown.
 As exclusively reported in The Times, yesterday, the State Athletic Commission which will dominate the boxing and wrestling sport in the Nutmeg sector, organized at Hart ford by electing Mosey King. Yale boxing director, as chairman, and Alley w. Castle of Waterbury, secre- tary.
 The commission will convene next week to go over the rules and regu- lations and adopt policy for the reg ulation of the ring and mat pastimes. The headquarters of the commission will be in Room 65, at the State Cap itol.
