TREASURE FIELDS
 RESIDENTS HOWL Want Streets Accepted and Sani- tary Service Pipes Installed QUIT CLAIM DEED MISSING
Junior High School Elects Officers Grange to Hold Chicken Supper TOnight-Daughtcr Born to Local Couple-Other Items of Interest.

Residents of Treasure Fields who have long desired installation of sewage and water facilities and who rejoiced at the acceptance Of streets in that neighborhood at the annual town meeting of 1926, nearly year ago. have once more raised the complaint that the necessary legal steps to be taken between the town officials and the owners of the land Jordan X Sellick of Bridgeport, have been delayed past all reason and that the actual acceptance of the streets has not received the attcn- tion given other sections of the town.
 According to officials, the quit claim deed necessary from the own CTS of the property was submitted to the Bridgeport concern several months ago and since that time nothing has been heard from the company. One deed was submitted by the owners for the towns sigma LuIc dilu IttuI litu pS olllNidlS b'- cause of indefinite boundaries. Tho Bridgeport concern replied that the quit claim deed was one of a forn, used in all other municipalities and no complaint had been lodged prior to Berlins refusal to sign the paper. The company suggested that the at torney for the town. Judge Bernard r. Gaffney. draw up a quit claim deed providing for the boundaries necessary. and promised to sign it as soon as this was done.
 Following a short delay. the deed was drawn up and submitted to the Bridgeport firm. Since that datt, which Is set as being some time in June, no word has been heard from Jordan X Sellick.
 Residents and town officials are at loss to explain the delay, com ing. as it does after the owners suggestion that the deed be submit- would be signed. It is impossible, they state. to compel the owners of the property to sign and return the deed and until that is done and the streets are legally accepted by the town. no action on the promised installations of pipes can be taken.
 In the meanwhile Treasure Fields waits for the promised services. Lacking the voice of its leader. Con- rad Fisk of Boston. who has been the chief champion of the residents plea for acceptance. and who has not been heard from for several weeks, Treasure Fields residents have begun to give up hope of the eventual acceptance of the streets. They claim that insanitary condi- tions exist as the result of the lack of proper measures and ask again that official steps be taken for-the completion of the transactions
 Town officials have promised i'm mediate steps upon the surrender Of the quit claim deed. Until then, they claim. the town is powerless to act

BRICK SCANDAL
IS REVIVED

The District brick scandal was
suddenly revived today when Comp
troller General J. r. McCarl's office
notified the District Commissioners
that they had erred in awarding a
contract for 100000 vitrified sewer
bricks to the United Clay Products
Company instead Of the Victor
Cushwa Company.
McCarl advised the Commission
ors that it would be to the best
interests Of the District, because
Of the fact that no brick has yet
been delivered, to change the
award.
The vitrified sewer brick contract
was tn caeuse of one of the two
chief complaints when the brick
scandal first arose. .,...
John Clarke, local representative
Of the Cushwa Company, protested
the award through his attorney,
Roger Whitford
He charged that the contract had
ben awaerded to the other COM
pany on a bid of $24,5s per 1000
brick when his own bid was only
$24..
The Commissioners replied that
Clarke's brick did not come up to
specifications, but the brick agent
insisted that they send samples
of the two bricks to the Bureau
Of Standards for tests.
The bureau test revealed that the
two bricks were Of about the same
quality.

Judge Daniel Thew Wright, he paced
the corridors outside the Grand Jury
room awaiting the next move by the
district attorney.
Ershler explained that he. to
gether with Judge Wright, repre-
scented Day and that Day would
continue to refuse to testify. He
expected, he said, that Day would
be required to present himself in
either branch of the criminal court
and formally have the questions
desired answered by the grand jury
propounded by a Supreme Court
judge.
Court to Decide
The procedure then, Ershler said
would be for Day to refuse to answer
them, stating his reasons why, to
which the Judge would determine
whether he was justified in his re-
fusal.

that Mrs. Forbush had been

The woman was seen first by
two young couples driving on the

They said she appeared to be sit

attempted to conceal herself when

Seen BY Servant
A second report came from a maid
employed by a Kensington family.
She told police she saw a woman
walking along the road, but she did
not follow her and could not give a
very complete description.
What is regarded as the best of
the three clues came from a Ken

woman on the road about l o'clock
this morning. He said she appeared
to be weary, and he was on the point
of offering her ride when he re-
