Protest
Against Closing

A vigorous protest will be made to
official Washington, the Senators and
Representatives of the Fourth Con-
gressional district by Harry w.
Congdon post. American Legion, over
the closing of the Veterans Bureau
located in the Professional Building
of this city. At a meeting of the Lee
gion a resolution was passed deplor-
ing the action taken in closing the
bureau to the veterans depending
upon 1t. The removal of all records
from the city will greatly handicap
ready access to the office records, it
is said. BY removing the records the
prompt consid Grafton of the eX-ser-
vice mems claims will be made more
difficult
BY removing the stenographer from
the office the eX-service men will be
greatly handicapped in filling out
their claims for compensation. The
place to meet their trainee and the
men taking the vocational training
will have a great setback
The Legion asks that the office BE-
continued and If their request is not
met with strenuous action is planned.
The Legion recommends that the Of
flee be removed from the Professional
building to more reasonable quarters.
The rent of the office in the Profess
sional building is 5000 per month.
Following is the text of the resolu-
ton signed by Raymond J. Congdon,
adjutant of the post:
Now, Therefore. Be it Resolved:
That this Post do unanimously pro-
test against such>H ction on the part

morrow. A representative of the local
department will then be sent to Wor-

According to the statement of Cap
tain Casey of the Worcester police,
there will be no difficulty in bringing
him here. Following is Captain

this fact alone is enough to make ex-
tradition possible. Ee had an opp or

will be no difficulty in turning him

The whereabouts of Joseph Porter.
Barry's companion on the night of
the fatal shooting, still remains a
mystery to the local police. They
have determined during their investi-
cations that Porter is an escaped con-
Wet, who was sentenced from eight
to ten years in Massachusetts,, but who
escaped while on his way to start his
term in Jail.
According to information Barry Is
in a bad condition and the police of
Worcester have refrained questioning,
concerning the alleged murder until
he recuperates. From a voluntary
statement he made he states he did
murder. that Porter was the one who
had the gun and did the shooting.

Stratford government exists by au-

IS expressed in the Stratford charter.
Charter gives council power to dis
charge the town manager. The pow
er having been exercised, a court can
not say otherwise. This in essence
is the opinion in the Hunter case,
which has SO long disturbed d sister
community. All Connecticut cities in
the political sense exist through their
charters. They have no powers ex
cept those. Public authorities who
do their work in obedience to the law
can be reached only when their
terms expire, by putting som ED ody
else in their places. The Stratford
remedy is in the recall elections.
