The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-25
STAMFORD

The Stratford Speciality company, 23S1 Main street. dealers in automo- piles, supplies and accessories, has been incorporated for $15.OOO, the company planning in the near future to erect a building on the same street, near the present location. The off cers of the concern are Arthur D. Allard, president and treasurer; P. Baldwin, secretary. The officers and George M. Moore, who holds the con trolling stock, are the directors. All live in Stratford.
 The grass fire on the meadows last night caused a great deal of excite ment, until the location was ascer- tained. From the height of the flames it was hard not to believe that some building was in flames.
 Stratford is in the limelight again. This time 1t is not poverty, ash cans or smallpox. The Sunshine Homes, shedding more gloom than sunshine are being given an airing in the Met ropolitan and state newspapers.
 On Wednesday evening. April 15, Holy Week, Rev. F. T. Dedwith, not ed lecturer of Hartford, will deliver a talk on sacred subjects at St. James R. C. church, having been secured by Rev. NJ $.

 IT. Planning board can do noth- ing official regards to the proposed slaughter house. The Planning board can go on record, or make a recommendation. that is all. It is a recommend something to the effect that grand place to erect the slaughter house would be Moosup, Winsted or Patagonia.
 This column is open for all com nluniCations anent Stratford subjects, reserving the right to make any changes that are absolutely neces- Sary, asking the sender'S name as a matter of good faith, and asking that they be not too long at any one time, as q matter of necessity. Shoot the dope!
 So far the only thing tangible about the slaughter house project is the al- legation that an option has been ob- tained on the Patterson Forge prop erty, now in Superior court in a re- ceivership proceeding. It is hardly probable that the council will give the necessary permit. It is under favors the idea, but from canvas in several sections of Stratford it is hard to Ind anyone in favor of the project. In the Eighth district, near the proposed site. almost a solid front is openly opposed to the matter.
 Speaking of Hunter, he is still the Town Manager, and will be over the weekend. Attorney Israel Cohn does not expect to file pleadings in the quo before the first part of the | week, probably Tuesday. Cohn is attorney for Frank E. Conine. first selectman, who started the action. 1 The next move is for the pleadings to be filed. Until that time and some days following it is hardly probable that Hunter will be further disturbed. |
 It is pointed out, along with other h Oles being found in the charter in it's present form. that the council. | without a right of referendum upon the part of the people" could put through the bugaboo, the Port of Bridgeport plan. any old meeting night without any more forInaility or trouble than passing sidewalk ordi- nance. As the man stated who point ed this out, Think it over. It's worth thinking over.
