FAIRFIELD

skEERa @ hmS S Edward Flanagan, speaking for the Red Mems Building Association, denied today that the association was in any way connected with the F air field Building corporation of which John Demaree is president and which
 has been served with mechanlcs lien by the Bridgeport Stone Com pany and that no contracts have been made with the theatre constructor
 whereby they would share in any inn
 prOvementS made. It was stated that the Red Men would be involved in 8 suit If one was brought by the stone company but this statement is not true because the Red Men are not
 bound by any contracts to the Fair field Building corporation MT. Elan again stated that the Red Men leased the building. in which the theatre is to occupy. to Demaree and that the lodge was in no way connected with Demaree'S business nor was the Red Mems Building association. The mechanics lien filed in the town hall stated that Demaree was agent for the Red Mems Building as- sociation but MT. Flanagen said that this was wrong. He wishes the i'm pression that may have been created by the story corrected because the Red Men are in no way involved with l the construction or operation of the | new theatre.
