property having been purchased
some time ago for development
purposes. 1t was at first supposed
that Mr.. Quigley owned the land,
but there was some question about
it. The men from whom Mr..
Quigley bought the land brought
action against the town to clear the
title to the property. but the town
OF Berlin, through First Selectman
George E. Carter, commended that 1t
owned the property as an old high
way. On the other hand, the man
who sold the property to Mr.. Quigley
contended that the land was a
part OF his holdings, having been
an old road which he allowed
wagons and other vehicles to use.
The towns opponents in the case
then entered into an agreement with
the kensington Congregational
church, whereby they offered to
give the church strip OF 80 feet of
land II the church would remove
some old wagon sheds which were
near the property. This was done
and the real consummated. whereby
the town Immediately contended
that land belonging to Berlin had
been included In the transaction,
according TO Mr.. Quigley. who said
today that the case is still pending
In the courts.
Mr.. Quigley said that he was not
notified Of the fact that the COM
mittee was going to meet and he
knew nothing of the meeting until
he received notice Of the decision it
had reached.
