 Comfort Station D,iaye.I
 Failure 10 arrange for the site for the new comfort station before begin- ming work toward it's erection has caused a tieup, according to word from railroad circles today, The city and the chamber Of commerce drew up plans for the station and appoint cd committees to push the work through but one difficulty, unseen at the time remained, and that was the ownership of the proposed site by the New Haven" railroad. It was agreed l that the best location was on Main ! street, north of tho railroad bridge and all this territory is owned by the | railroad, which is not any too anxious 10 give up the real estate. .~ !
