U. s. Senator Lonergan Discloses Unexpected Source
 of Aid-Specia Investigator Coming Here

Lonergan found that officials in Hartford who had had an option on the land, months ago had be- come discouraged so they let the option go. Hence the project and the selection of land will have to start all over again. Lonergan's sec- retary explained. Investigator Assigned When discussing the matter with officials of the subsistence home stead, Lonergan simultaneously found out that projects of a like nature which have been proposed at the above cities by various civic and welfare organizations, now will have a better chance to get ap- proved, it was said. ,.-
 sAlthough no definite date has been set for his departure from Washington. Lonergan was given the assurance that a special inves- tigator will visit Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Britain.

mayors went on record as favoring two amendments to the measure. One would make the governor the final court of appeal in case of dis agreement between a municipality and the state emergency relief board. The other would exclude the cost of EZRA materials in com putting the amounts of money spent by municipality for relief. O1 course, all other EZRA expenses would be included.
 The move to make the governor the final court of appeal in squab- bles between the cities and the em- ergency relief board is of consid- erable interest here as Mayor Frank Hayes has long been finding fault with the share of the fed eral relief money that Waterbury gets. ....
 Those present at yesterdays meeting were Mayor Hayes. Mayor Phillips. Mayor Joseph W. Beach of Hartford. Mayor Joseph Dut- Smith of Meriden, Mayor c. D Twomey of New London, Mayor Edward c.
