StratfOrd Citizens Circulating A
 Referendum

(Continued from Page One) dnu Denofe seven o'clock his morning steady streams of workers were stop ping en route to their employment to slgn petitions scattered in the various districts Of the town. No difficulty VIII De found in securing the desired number of names.
 l The Hunter adherents believe +be, are further entrenched by the fact that the council is alleged to have passed the resolution to discharge Hunter in an illegal manner inasmuch as the Hateful resolution was not put through as an Emergency measure" This | theory is based upon the manner of l wording of the charter which states | appears in the charter, the matter is subject to an initiative petition, un- less put through as an "emergency 1 measure"
 Inasmuch as this procedure was not followed it is maintained that the | further provisions of the charter make 1t impossible, in view of a referendum being desired, for Hunter to be dropped short of a 30 day period This IS according to section 29 of the | trick charter under which Stratford is l being governed, or at least is existing. | Before the 30 day period has expired the referendum will have been placed l before the voters for according to the aforementioned charter, there seems no way for the council, even if they desired, to prevent the referen- | dunn.
 | It is believed that some light. and some attempt at team work on the subject for the good of the Town, will come to the surface at the banquet | tomorrow evening of the Stratford Chamber of Commerce.
 In the meantime, despairing of the l town fathers. uncles. and step-broth- CTS doing anything else but fight among themselves. and realizing the helplessness of their counciImen, on the minority side of the main ash can argument, residents of the First | and Second districts are banding to- | gether. Being blessed with some | residents who have the happy com bination of time, ability and inclina- ton, are making heroic efforts to themselves put at least their main | highways in a possible and passable condition.
 South Main street, below South av- enue, had become in such a precari- ous and downright dangerous con- dition, that, persons living below this point were fearful that to bring in fertilizer and other necessities pre- vious to spring planting, was out of the question, until the roadway had been remedied. Felng that to at 'empt any trucking over this stretch of road was certain to mean damage to trucks. men yesterday started levelling mountain-like ruts. filling, and scraping. and at least one street in the town will look presentable for a time.
 While the work was being carried on in the biting cold, some resider' was mean enough to suggest that the rouncilmen might at least take a trip down that way, and ride on inc =craper to help weight it down-even though 1t might not be much weight. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
