STAMFORD HAS TOO MANY SETS
 OF REGISTRARS

The question of who are the regis trars of voters is puzzling Stratford voters. The town council last night discharged Registrars Arthur Dahlin and Timothy Ryan, Jr. Lloyd Hay wood, Democrat, and Arthur J. Hale, Republican, were appointed to fill the vacancies.
 This makes three sets of registrars because Charles Norman and Fred Strausburger, up to last night deputy registrars, claim that they are regis trars because of the discharge of the other two men.
 The three pairs of registrars are expected to individually announce that they are receiving applications of voters up to Oct. 10 and that they will then begin to make voters, Oct. 15. Dahlin and Ryan have already made their announcement. This gives voters a choice of three lists.
 Having bid $9.107, nearly $4,OOO less than the next lowest bidder, Lev erty and Hurley, Bridgeport contrac- tors, were awarded the contract for the laying of a cement roadway on West Broad street, from Barnum ave nue to Linden avenue.
 The annual election of officers Of St. James, Council, Knights of Colum- bus, was held last night. The fol- lowing men were chosen:
 Grand knight, George Bateman; deputy grand knight, George Dillon; chancellor, Joseph Tanning; recorder, Thomas Rowan; financial secretary William J. Ryan; treasurer, Dr. E. A. Garneau; advocate, William A. Sul- hvan; warden, Leo Sexton; inside guard, John Moore; outside guard, E. John Harley; delegate to state con vention, George Bateman and John Hurley; alternates, B. A. Garneau and Timothy Ryan.
