The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-09-10
STAMFORD

Walter Keeling. living on Wood lawn avenue, and connected with the Crane company. at the last meeting of the Eighth district club on Sat urdav night. held in Eli Whitney school, was virtually unanimously chosen candidate or councilman, be- iEg nominated on the irst ballot Thorlev and Carroll. who tied up the first meeting by deadlock getting but one vote each.
 Very few of the Carroll delegation attended. not exactly liking the at titude taken by others at the first meeting. and Carroll at the present time seems likely to run independent ly
 The nomination of Keeling, how ever. may change the situation. It is not known whether Carroll will with draw. but it is certain that many liv- ing in the Eighth. other than on toward Keeling, although many do not know him.
 To make certain that Keeling can be made acquainted with all living in the district a series of neighbor- hood meetings will be held, com mencing tonight. the first to be held ineton road. Others will be an probably be held in the Paradise Green section. With Canford out of the race, Carroll, Keeling and Co., nine are the only announced candi- dates.
 The purpose of the association may be lost if both Carroll and Keeling stay in- Both are good men and will draw in their immediate neigh Iborhoods. Conine is just as we'll liked by many of the older residents who know him better. and he is popu- larly supposed to be the machine scanGfdate. A three cornered race seems likely, and the only hope for tho district, as may be said of all the others. is that whoever is elect ed will forget the battle and repre- sent the whole district. With vot- didates from every part of he dis trict this is to be expected and can hardly be avoided.
 The draws of the new Washington bridge were lowered yesterday after noon sufficiently for the first of the paving work to. get under way in the very near future The laying of c!uding the ties being laid with the daws in an upright position~has been considered quite an accomplishment.
 When the new structure is open rails. it seems hat the Connecticut company should cut down the run ming time to New Haven all the year round hy 16 minutes without difficul- ty if good management is used. The delays at the old bridge where but a single track is laid. plus the care which had to be taken in crossing, was always a cause, or at least an excuse. for slow service to Devon, Walnut Beach and points beyond on the Bridgeport-New Haven line. With the new bridge in operation it is hoped the trolley company will even find it possible to send the New Ha- ven buses all the way to Bridgeport.
 Stratfcrd has been well represent ed at the recent daughters of the Brown Derbies. James Lalley, first selectman: deputy Registrar of vo- ters Bateman. Sergeant Smith of the police force, and many more were among those present yesterday. Should the Stratford support fail at Newfie1d park a number of addi- tional vacant seats would be in evil dence.
