FAIRFIELD

According to John E. Boyle, real estate operator. the recent fire at Fairfield Beach did no damage to the beach's reputation, as he has closed rental transactions for beach cottages for the coming summer amounting to more than $1,200.
 He predicts that there will be more New York people at the beach this coming summer than ever before with the reduced railroad communication fares. He claims that Fairfield Beach has many advantages over oth- CT surrounding beaches, both as re- of residents. The beach is unsur- passed for bathing purposes being free from all kinds of refuse and pollu- ton.
 AS yet there is no knowledge of the new manager of the famous Flint's Bathing pavilion. As it has changed hands it is expected that new manager will run it.
 There are rumors about that part of it will be torn down and that the public will not be allowed to use it at all, but these are without founda- ton as the Penfield Reef Corporation has acquired it and it plans to make things hum at the beach.
 Repairmen of the Connecticut con- pany are busy making repairs at Ben- sons switch, replacing and re-enforc- ing rails and ties.
