Stratford Selectmen Planning Action On
 New Jitney Rules

Important meeting of several municipal bodies of Stratford will be held on Tuesday evening. Perhaps the most important will be the joint meeting of the board of fire comrnis- siOners and the board of finance, post poned from last evening.
 This meeting is important, but the time to arrange it was too short, several members of the finance board being out of the city, and it was inn possible to get a quorum. At this meeting it will be decided just what immediate steps can be taken to strengthen the equipment of the fire department before it is too late to prevent another catastrophe such as the High school fire and the Honey spot road blaze of a week ago.
 A regular meeting of the board of selectmen is also on the cards for Tuesday evening. Several matters of importance may come up at this meeting, including steps to keep up the work of tie charity commission, also business in connection with the new jitneys laws that become effec- tive July 15.
 yesterday that the Stratford board had not yet received a copy of the bill, and that for the above reason was not certain just what steps to take or exactly what it will be neces- sary for the authorities of the town to do to retain the bus service that is apparently so popular.

Frank Faugno, parts unknown, who is anxious1y sought by the Stam- ford and State police is held crimi- nal1y responsible for the death of Fred Varone, who was shot and killed on June 6 as he stood before his little store in Stamford.

 Varone's wife, Rose, was formerly the wife of Faugno'S son, John, who has been dead over two years. By her first husband she had five children and the murderer is said to have threatened Varone's life, and to have told his daughter-in-Iaw that if she married Varone who came from Bos- ton, that she would soon be wearing mourning again.
 His hatred and determination to kill the man who married his dead sons wife, is thought to have been in fuenced by the reputation of Varone, who he feared would not treat kindly his five grandchildren. Coroner John J. Phelan has finished his investiga- ton and holds Faugno criminally re- Sponsible-

This will be the policy laid down by President Harding himself next week when he meets with the new Shipping Board for the first time to take an inventory of the situation. The board will organize on Monday and on Tuesday it will meet with the chief executive to hear an outline of policy.
 The length of time necessary to get the government out of the shipping business with the least financial loss possible is problematfcal Some of President Harding's advisers think it WulI take two years, others are of the opinion the job cannot be accom- plished under three.
 In any event 1t is not expect ed that the new chairman. Albert D. Dasker, of Chicago, will serve out the six-year term to which he has been appointed
 The manner in which the hquida- ton of the -governme ment's venture into the shipping business is to be accom- plished is the problem that is proving a knotty one for the administration.
