Stratford

The voters of the Fifth District. Stratford, have recently formed what is called the Fourth District Good Government Association, the object Of which is to promote the welfare of the district and the town at large A majority of the voters are very en- thusia aStic about the workings of the new charter and the council manager plan of government and realize how very important it is to get the new form of government off to a good start Meetings have been held and the voters have thoroughly discussed :the vital importance of choosing the proper type of man to represent them in the new council.
 The Stratford Club took the ini- tiative and voted to endorse the can didacy of John Albright. the Good Government Association followed suit and it is confidently expected that the Ladies' Auxiliary Association . will pledge Albright their support at their next meeting.
 MT. Albright has been resident in the Fifth District for the past ten years, he has been quite active in town affairs during that time and has won the respect and confidence of the residents in his section by his en-

F0RESEE END OF ADJUSTMENTS AT
 WALNUT BEACH

With the notification by the Milford police, acting under orders from the states attorneys office, that all wheels. and various other more or being operated at Walnut Beach, must cease operations, the start of the final passing of this section of Milford as an amusement resort is seen In some quarters
 Many of the booths have been va cant this summer, and of those occu- pied, most of them, to use the par lance of show business, 'shave starved 10 death" The past two rainy Sun days haven't helped matters any, and the proximity of savin Rock to Mil ford has always tended to hinder the rapid growth of Walnut Beach as an amusement park. The opening of the brand new and up-to-date Pleasure Beach was another blow, and almost more than the concessionaries. at the Milford location can stand.
 It is even hinted that perhaps some Of thes men who have been heavy los CTS this season, might have called at tention to the alleged violations in a roundabout way, or at any rate not to have been very hard hit when the clo1ng up order came on Wednesday night. With their places suddenly closed it Is deemed possible that they may save unpaid rent installments due, and get a license rebate from the town of Milford as well, which CO1I0Cl1V6ly, WOulQ pSIldpS equdi IiSIe real cash than they would have been able to realize had they operated un- til after Labor Day.
 With the quietus put on the amuse- ment section, known as 'tJoyland," at this time, it is certain that not many concessionaries will flock to Walnut Beach next spring. It is not a bad guess that a gradual change from an amusement park to a strictly cottage colony will take place, it being the opinion of many that Walnut and Myrt1es Beaches would eventually be- better off in this evolution became a reality, because of the tendency It would have to raise the standard Of rents in the community, because of the unparalleled sandy bathing beach, without doubt the best along Mill ford's miles of shore front.
 against the closing noticed at the constructed homemade sign on one of the closed stalls that reads, Clos ed by the Men You Voted For" It is pointed out that most of the sum- mer coIonists of Walnut Beach come from Bridgeport, and other parts re- moved farther from Milford, so the Milford authorities hardly fear landslide against them at the next election because they shut off what have been termed gambling games
 The people who like to take chances and have a little run for their pen nies. nickles and dimes, may turn to the popular tops and dice.

ergetic efforts for the welfare of his district. He was member of the new Charter Committee and can be depended to give the council manager plan a real fair and square trial.
 The Fifth District have chosen a real watch dog to represent them in the new council and with the sup port already pledged MT. AIbrig ht should carry his district almost unanimously.
 Work of placing wires. and prelim- mary grading on the Stratford end of Washington bridge is rapidly pro- gressins, and it is probable that from this time until the new bridge is completed traffic will be more diff cult for all sorts of vehicles crossing the old structure, because of trolley reconstruction cars at the scene.
 The eXcavating for the sewers on Main street has reached a difficult point, the intersection of Main St with Longbrook avenue, it being quite a problem to continue the work with out entirely blocking the street, which is part of the route for through traffic passing by Stratford between Bridgeport and New Haven, as marked by the Police Depart ment.
