SHIPPING BOARD TO SELL
GROTON WAR TIME HOUSES

A despatch from Washington announc-
es that the United States Housing Cor
poration proposes to dispose of its war
time housing Developments including the
development at Groton, at an auction
sale some time within the next month.
The Groton group consists of 95 frame
dwellings,, four frame dormitories and
several other buildings, the despatch
states, and every opportunity will be
first given to tenants to purchase them.
The despatch appears to be incorrect
as to preference to the number of houses
built in Groton as the actual number
consists of nine double and seven single
houses aside from the dormitories.
1t has been understood in New Lon
don that practically all these houses
were sold some time ago. The govern
ment houses in New London, built by
the same government agency at the same
time, have been disposed of to tenants,
although they are not entirely paid for.
The Housing Corporation delivered deeds
to these purchasers last fall. and hold
mortgages on a majority of them. Pur-
chasers are paying for them on the in
stallment plan.
Inquiry in Groton Wednesday ELECTED
the fact that SO far as the deeds to the
houses are concerned, the Housing cor
poration still owns the ma ority Of them.
1t is believed that some of them have
been sold to tenants, but If so, the cor
poration has not yet come forward with

was defendant in a suit brought by Isaac
Abilefsky over a spite fence between
their properties In Brewer street, tried
last February.
The actual bill of the plaintiffs was

this she said because she had been led
to EXPECT a bill of $50 a day for each of
the three days appearance in court and
knew nothing about the charge for pre-
pairing the case, which she found in the
bill. She also asserts she was given to
understand she had sure case and to
expect her to pay double the amount she
anticipated, when her case was lost. be-
sides having a fence that cost her $50 cut
down and being obliged to give a right OF
way over land she pays taxes on. she
considered altogether too much. Settle
ment of the case, it was said, was made
for $3.50.
