Cong'l Society Given itle To
 Old Property

In a decision handed down today by Judge Isaac Wolfe of the Superior court the First Congregational so- ciety was given the title to property at John and Broad streets, the site of the old North church. The question of title arose when the city and the society asked the court to decide to whom the property belonged, and the society also asked to be given pernis- sion to sell the property and reinvest the money for purposes for which the land was originally given, to erect a building for the use of some religious organization.
 The title was originally given the city by Richard Hubble and the estate of Amos Hubble in 1895 was given. to be held in trust for the First ConSre- ga tional society, the successors to the stipulation was made in the deed whereay the land was to be used for a religious building.
 The land in question is now used for parking autom obiles. Judge Wolfe il giving his decision said that he did not believe it to be in his province to decde whether the property could be sold and the money reinvested-

Gallaher To
 Appeal rom Judge s Decision

Notice of the intention to appeal from decision of Judge Isaac Wolfe of the Superior Court, in the case of Edward Ga1laher of Norwalk against the Southern New England Telephone company, was filed today by attor- neys Dunbar and Quin1an, counsel flor the plaintiff.

 eveiw befort the Public Utilities Con- mission resulted in upholding the rates and servce of the Telephone company.
 An appeal from the finding of the Public Utilities Commission was taken in the Superior Court and Judge Wolfe upheld the finding of the Commission Now Gallaher has signified his inten- ton of bringing an appeal from Judge Wolfc's decision to the Supreme court of errors.

Judge Jennings
 Grants Divorce
 To Eva Dryer

A divorce has been granted to Eva Kapkowitz Dryer, from Hirsh Dryer, both of this city, by Judge Newell H. Jennings, who heard the testimony upon which she asked for a decree, two weeks ago. After hearing Mrs. Dryers story Judge Jennings said that he thought that she was entitled to a divorce but that he would re- serve his decision, because of the nature of the case.
 The Dryers were married during December, 1919, and about one year afterward, Dryers actions became extraordinary. An investigation disclosed that he had been subject to periodical spells of insanity and that he had been confined to the Westport Sanitorium and the State institution for the insane. This malady, however, was not in evidence when the mar riage was contracted, nor was any mention of Dryers susceptibility made at that time, by him.
 When in one of his spells Dryer according to the testimony of his wife when the case was tried, would break the furniture and become violent in his actions that she was afraid of him, and could not live with him. A divorce was asked for on the grounds that fraudulent contract had been entered into and that Dry CTS actions were cruel towards her

New rial To
 Be Brought To
 Recover $5,0OO

By reason of the decision of the Supreme court in the matter of Peter Nanos, and others against John F. Harrison, both of Stamford, a new trial to recover $500 damages will be brought before the Superior court at the September term
 Harrison owned a. brick building in Stamford, and February 27, 1920, leased part of it to Nanos for a period of five years at the annual rental of S3,6O0. Nanos claimed damages of 5000 from Harrison since after a1- terations had been made and obli- gations assumed by him it was brought to light that a previous lease on the property had been given to John McDevitt. Fanos claimed that a fraudulent contract was entered into since Harrison represented the building as free from any previous lease.
 On the evidence presented before Judge Frank D. Haines, Tn the Su- perior court last December. a non suit was declared. An appeal was made to the Supreme court and a de- cision was handed down calling for a new trial.

Confident Of
 Efficiency Of New Pavement
Best Road Builders in Country H ave In dorsed This Type, De- clares eorge e M. Coughlin.

In a. statement made public today by Director of Putfic Works George M. Coughlin, relative to a sharp edi- toria1 which appeared in an afternoon paper earlier in the week regarding the difference between the pavement now being laid by the dirctor and Warrenite, some false impressions that may have been created, are cor rected.
 It was inferred that it was foolish for Director of Public Works Cough tration pavement with Warrenite. This Director Coughlin denies. He further declares that the Warren brothers pavement is not guaranteed for ten years as stated. but for only five years.
 It has been further declared that the "bituminous preparation pave- ment' now laid on Mountain Grove tor Coughlin said that the story is again wrong because the pavement laid on Mountain Grove street, is ma cadam not ''bituminous penetration"
 The statement follows in full:
 An editorial appeared in one of the afternoon papers on Thursday commenting upon claimed compari-
 sons and statements made by me
 relative to bituminous macadam
 pavement which is now being laid on certain streets in the city. This
 editorial was evidently based upon an inaccurate report of an interview
 
 certain claims which I did not do.
 I make this statement, not for the purpose of inviting a newspaper con
 troversy or criticizing the writer of the editorial to which 1-efer. stMy only purpose is to make my position clear and have the public properly informed as to the pavement
 situation. We all know that for the
 past ten years the paving or our streets has been the cause of 8. large
 expenditure of public moneys. The
 upkeep of our highways is bound to be a matter of importance to the tax payers and is a subject In which
 everybody interested in the proper conduct of our city government must be concerned.
 Showed Letter to Press. 'In my talk with the reporters on Thursday, I simply showed them a letter from the city engineer setting forth that the cost of the bituminous macadam pavement on Mountain Grove street is ninety-five cents a square yard and on Hancock avenue eighty-three cents a square yard. T did not compare this pavement with Warrenite or with any other pavement, but stated that was aim ing to do the work at a dollar 8 square yard or less, and that the city was getting it's moneys worth. ''The editorial, taking me to task. states that Warrenite is a permanent pavement guaranteed for ten years. Here the writer is under a misap- prehension. Warrenite is not guaran- teed for ten years. All the Warrenite in Bridgeport is guaranteed for five years. Neither is Warrenite classed as a permanent pavement, excepting when it is laid on concrete base. In Good Condition.
 '"The editorial also stated that it 3S idle to expect that the pavement the (Continued on Page Six.)

 The board stood on the position taken by it's chairman, Ben W. Hoop CT that the only way the striking shopmen could receive recognition in conciliatory conferences was to re- store themselves to standing before the board by returning to work and then entering into negotiations for a settlement.
 B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts. who held himself open to ap- proach by any responsible person used to negotiate a settlement, de- clined to make the first move. He said the olive branch of peace should first be offered to the striking shop

Hogan Issues Call To His
 Committee

That the scheme now before the Common Council to zone the city Will be rushed through and perfected be- fore the next legislature, was the in dicatfon today when Alderman Will liam H. Hogan, chairman of the Mis- cellaneoUs Committee, issued call to the members of the committee to gather at City Hall next week.
 The resolution introduced at a re- cent meeting of the council setting forth plans for zoning the city was the work of Alderman Hogan, democrat, of the eight district. It passed in the council and was referred to, the Mis- cellaneous> committee. It is the plan Of Alderman Hogan to hold public hearings on the matter in order that all the citizens may become acqua1nt- ed with the plan which divides the city into various districts and limits those respective districts to certain building and certain types of busi- ness.
 Ut is nothing more than a scheme to define certain sections of the city and so forth" MT. Hogan stated. Both Republican and denocrat1c alderman are in favor of the plan. it is said. The zoning scheme also pro- tects investors in property and real estate Alderman Hogan said to-day.
