STAMFORD

to the top of the hill got a little att Ltention yesterday from the tractor and scraper More attention and some sort of a. hard surface will have to be l given this thoroughfare, however, or it will be bad again as so6n as wet weather and a little heavy hauling set set it at the same time Windsor ave nue is still impossible. one machine being stuck yesterday a few doors above Elizabeth street.
 EIford Clark is circulating peti- ton that is gaining signers by the score in the Paradise Lawn section protesting against the ruin of the neighborhood by the proposed cree tion of a slaughter house Just why a slaughter house is necessary to the success of Stratford, especially a. resi- dential section that is trying hard to remain decent in spite of obstacles, IS hard according to many, to under stand. Persons who are responsible for the proposition or those who can prevent it and do not, are lining up legion of enemies in this section. Just like there are places for pest houses, fertilizer factories, and sewerage dis posaI plants, there are places for slaughter houses, they declare ana this place to fair minded cluzens doesn't seem to be in close proximity to any residential section of any town. There will be trouble that will be loud and long, and probaply ser ious, if the proposition is allowed to go
  biaI straw that breaks the cameFs back.
 The Planning board will be asked to intervene in favor of a, hundred resi- deutial owners, as against perhaps one or two residents, who live a. long long ways away, in the slaughter house matter. If the Planning board can stop this, it will gain a place worth while in the minds of stratfords people. It will mean something, and gain the board many supporters, now Iukewarm.
 Tonight at the stratford theatre. Elsie Ferguson in ,"Footlights" will be the feature. A comedy. a news reel, and amateur night will help enlfven matters.
 Mills TomIinson, deputy sheriff. and councilman from the Ninth dls, trict, is our idea of fair minded man He disapproves of Hunter as a town manager, doesn't think he is just the man for the place. so he votes against him at each ana every op. portunity. However, he personally likes Hunter, and often calls upon him, talks things over, is on per fectIy friendly basis with Hunter and in spite of all the hub-bub In town, he and Hunter are trying hard to cooperate.
 Tomlinson also stated yesterday that he can see no further use of the coun- cn trying to oppose the will of the peopIe. Hunter is here, is the man ager, apparently is to be the manag- CT for some time to come, so what's the use of trying to get rid of him in opposition to the wishes of lot rof people, probably a majority Then Torn1inson continues his state ment of the way things are. in this manner: '-It is not up to the council now if Hunter fails. We can say I told you so.' But now it is strictly up to Hunter to be on his mettle and make good. He's got to make good. Hunter told me the other day that he would try his best to get along with each of the present councilmen if they will only try to get along with him. Thatta boy.
 Tomlinson also took occasion to point out that Hunter is trying to make the roads passabie for another year with fa5so0o, whsreas .. xsax
