Pleasure Beach Creditors

ing The assets were inventoried at S2T4,00O. It is conceded, however, that if these assets aresold at a forced sale not enough will be obtained 10 pay the preferred claims and the ex- penses of the recetvership- This would leave the general creditors without a dollar on account of their claims.
 Only 20 Per Cent. Offered.
 The stockholders called a meeting this week of the largest creditors. A proposition was made to the creditors that they accept 20 per cent. of their claims payable not later than Octo- Der 1. 1928. A committee of the creditors was appointed to investi- gate and make some recommendation as to the best course to adopt. If some comprrnise of this kind is not arranged with the creditors, il means hat the company will be forced into bankruptcy. The assets of the con- pany would then probably pass into the hands of some other amusement promoting corporation. What effsct the bankruptcy of the Ingersoll com pany, which holds the lease from the city, would have upon the lease Is problematical. The future of the Island as an amusement resort is un- certain, but the unpleasant ia + is certain that a large number of local business men have suffered heavily by this venture.

The creditors of the company which has been operating Pleasure Beacn have been brought face to face with khe fact that they will be compelled to suffer very heavy. if not a com plete. loss on their claims. The totai of these claims is approximately S45o0OO. The creditors consist large ly of local contractors and supply men who furnished the materials ana thelabor TOT the construction of the buildings on the island, the docks and roads and for the dredging.
 The Ingersol Engineering X Con struction Corporation leased the island known as Pleasure Beach from the City of Bridgeport. Large sums were spent in developing the island. most of which investment was on the credit obtained from the present creditors of the operating company. Soon after the island opened, that is on July 15. 1921, the IngsrsOIl Engineering Cor poration passed into the hands of re- ceivers and Fred w. Pearce. of De- troit, and Edmund s.

Ask for Law to Deter m inc Survivorship When Husband and Wife Die Together.

When the Probate Judges met in Hartford Wednesday, Judge Paul l.. Miller presided The Probate Judges will ask the General Assembly to make a law settling the presumption of surviv orship when husband and wife meet death together. The com mon law presumes that the woman dies first, and that her husband is technically the survivor. This pre- sumption is probably against the physical facts Women have re- pcatodIy shown their power to usr- vfva hardship, and women usually live longer. and the female of the species frequently has the stronger hold on life. Some states have all ready settled this matter by law.

May Probe Fire Bureau

A thorough investigation of the ex- act duties of members of the Fire Prevention Bureau and the number Of hours the members labor, may be the outcome of a claim for pay while off duty presented at last nights meeting of the Board of Fire Com niSioners by Lieut. George Bennett, an attache of that special depart ment
 Lieut. Bennett put in a request that a deduction of one days pay made in his envelope, be returned as on the day in question, which was a Saturday, he was forced to remain at home as the result of a heavy cold he contracted while making a tour of inspection Investigation Of the claim disclosed the fact that mem work but eight hours for five days in the week while on Saturday they work but four hours
 The inference drawn by the Com missioners from the letter was that on extra halliday had been taken out of Lieut. Bennett's envelope. When II was learned that most of the men in that department are officers, how ever, and work but those hours, while ether men on regular fire duty work 12 hours a day 1t was decided to table the matter for further investigation. At the same time it is probable that the meth ods of operation now in vogue will be checked up as other of f1cers who were not so politically for tunate as to be placed in that depart ment are forced to work the regu- lar shift Of twelve hours,
 On the other hand 1t was stated by Chief Johnson that some nights the men are forced to spend their time in theatres and such places watching for fire hazards and the discrepancy in the working hours may be explained in this manner. The matter will probably be thoroughly investigated, however. and threshed out at the next meeting.
