why don't you put up some garages
on that vacant property of yours and
we wouldn't have to park in the
streets?" the officer asked Sullivan.
Gets Permission First.
No sooner said than done After
obtaining permission from the Swiss
Legation, Sullivan started building
garages Before he was finished, he
had some so of them and was receiv-
ing $40 month rental from each
one
Everything went along fine until
Sullivan clashed with his superiors
and left the police department. He
began hearing complaints about the
garages from onicial sources. but he
worried little as the rent money kept
coming in. Sullivan used to recall
that some representations were made
through the Swiss Legation to oust
him, but without success.
Time marched on, the German en-
pire fell, republic succeeded monarchy,
but the garages stayed In the in
cumbency of the first German Ambas-
saoor accredited mere after the war,
the question of Sullivan's occupancy
was raised, but with little success, and
the matter drifted along.
Death Intervenes.
But in 1927 jeremiah Sullivan died,
and the following year formal demand
for the property was served on his son
from the German Embassy. He was
given 80 days to vacate. He demurred
contending the time was too short, but
expressing willingness to leave. The
case went to Municipal Court, and on
December 10, 1928, the German state"
got Judgment for possession.
The German government represen-
tatives years previously were housed
in tiny structure on Fifteenth street,

Germany to Build Embassy
On Site of S'Carage Incident''
Colorful Career, Inuoluing Policeman,
Auto Housing and -Four Govern
ments, Marks Property.

The spot where one jeremiah Sulli-
van-a Washington policeman with
more than the usual quota of whim-
sicality-and his famous garages once
held sway. to the great dismay of at
least four governments, is the place
where Germany is going to build new
Embassy.
Announcement yesterday of plans to
build the new structure at Bancroft
place and S street, on property long
owned by the German government, re-
called the little comedy of interna-
tional aspect which was launched al
most two decades ago, with Sullivan.
BOW dead, in the leading role
The imperial German government
purchased the property, located in the
beautifully wooded heights between
Connecticut and Massachusetts ave-
hues, in 1905, when Baron S. Won
Sternburg was Ambassador.
Pvt. Sullivan Moves In.
Years later found Pvt. J. Sullivan,
member of the Metropolitan Police
section. He was asked to keep an eye
on the old home place on the estate,
and later on, when he suggested he
might as well move into the place, his
idea was accepted.
The war interrupted Germans plans
to construct a new Embassy. Then
the United States entered the conflict,
but Sullivan felt entirely at hon.> on
German territory. then being admin
tstered by the Swiss Legation.
The garage affair then had its real
beginning. Sullivan used to say it was
an Army officer who gave him the
idea. The presence of war workers
made parking difficult, and on Sulli-
vans beat night parking was banned.
The Army officer, it seems, was one OF
those who got a parking ticket from
the policeman.

STATE LICENSING

 Deputy Reports

Completion of the task of relicen- sing milk dealers and producer -deal- CTS was announced today by Deputy Administrator Arthur J. Hayes. MT. Hayes said that this will release the departments inspectors for investi- gation of complaints which reach the office and for checkup of the performance in various areas where resale prices have been established
 Completion of the job of re- licensing three months in advance of the previous best accomplish ment was possible through the fine coopreation accorded to the depart ment by the police of every com- munity in the state" said MT. Hayes. Tt has been possible for the ad- ministration to assist the police departments where the situation seemed to indicate that this would be the best practice, but. the de- partments themselves have done the major part of the work.
 We are pleased to have been able to conclude this work at this time, permitting us to turn our attention to more important respon. abilities ofSthe administration, par- ticularly in regard to producer prices"

WOLCOTT WOMEN ASSIST BLIND
Arrange Sale of Products to Aid Makers; Musical
 Program Planned

A sale of handiwork of the blind will be held next Wednesday after noon at 2:30 o'clock at the Wood tick chapel in Wolcott under the auspices of the Wolcott Women's club.
 There will be short musical pro- gram followed by 8 speaker from the Connecticut Institute of the Blind and a demonstration of work by 8 blind pupil. Tea will be served and no admission will be charged.
 Proceeds from the sale of articles will be turned over to the blind makers of the articles. The home teacher who serves Waterbury and vicinity is Miss Viola Jaenicke of Hamden who graduated from the Connecticut School for the Blind and who later took a special course in home teaching work at the Penn Sylvania Institution for the InStruc- tion of the Blind in Philadelphia.
 Miss Jaenicke has held sales of handiwork of the blind in and around Waterbury before. She has previous ly conducted such a sale at the Wol- colt Fair, but sirce the discontinu- ance of the far has been holding them at the Woodtick Chapel.
 There are about 1850 blind per- sons in Connecticut. In Waterbury and vicinity there are 105. More than 60 per cent of those who are blind are over fifty years of age. The state undertakes to assist the blind in various ways. It was in 1893 that woman, the late Mrs. Emily Welles Foster of Hartford, was instrument tai in establishing the state work for the blind, which is represented by the state board of education of the blind.
 The state board has four teachers who are blind who are serving in various ways more than 800 persons in their own homes. Last year the state board benefited in some way more than 70 per cent of the blind persons of the state. Miss Jaenicke found it possible during her stay in Philadelphia to take a special course in social service with the Family so- ciety of that city. Miss Jaenicke has about l45 blind persons on her home teaching role. She is assisted by Mrs. Christine Schwesinger of New Haven, who serves as her guide, and who drives her car for her.
 Friends in Waterbury and vicinity have been most generous and inter- ested in their support of the state | work for the blind. It was in Water bury in 1926 that the state board l held its first Week for the Blind, which was an outstanding success. Former Governor Charles A. Tenn. pleton was chairman of the general | and about l50 men and | women representing various civic |
