clerk to start the January following his election and should be for a two-year term. He says this amend ment has not been repealed.
 lGr. St. John points out that &C., co7ding to a new charter amend ment, the biennial election bill passed in the state legislature this year, he with other elected officers are ordered to start their terms im- mediately upon election. He con- tends this new amendment auto- matically repeals the 1923 amend nlent. t
 Having been sworn in, he will soon seek the opinion of the boro- ugh attorney. It may be two or three weeks before the opinion will be rendered. If it is favorable to the democrats, MT. St. John plans to assume office, and if opposed may seem mandamus writ which would require MT. Schiller to show cause why he should not quit the office.
 Both Determined
 Just what will result remains to be seen. MT. St. John is firmly con- vinced he is entitled to assume the duties of the office and MT. Schul- Ter is equally determined that he will remain in office until January.
 What the ultimate settlement will be is not known. When the possible situation was discovered after the biennial election bill had been signed by the governor, and before the borough election, it was stated by local officials that apparently it was an error caused by clerk in the legislature, because the people of the town had not voted at a special referendum on this part of the bill, as they had on other por- tions.
 Interest in the situation, which is without parallel in local history, has bee growing lately. The question of who is legally the town clerk now, or whether there are legally two town clerks is important be- cause deeds and other thingns have to be signed by the town clerk. And if both are legally town clerk, which is entitled to occupy the office? Thees questions and others must be

NEW BARRACKS | MAY BE BUILT

BEACON FALLS
Correspondent: Wm S3a8Ges
 Phone Naugatuck 35-2

Beacon Falls, May 12.-Confirma- tion yesterday of an earlier report that the Beacon Falls state police barracks will be mode to Bethany was read with interest by local resi- dents yesterday. The senate of thf state legislature passed a bill au- thorizing an appropriation of $325, 900 over and abovce the regular appropriation of the state police de- partment, mad this amount will be used to build two new police bar racks, one at Bethany and one ir' Litchfield county at Canaan.
 The Bethany barracks will replace the police barracks here. Local desi- dents will be sorry to see the locaI barracks to be replaced. It had been announced about a year ago that additions and improvements would be made to the local bar racks but of course any such plans have been dropped now.
