Again this brings to our attention
the fact that we have no place

papers which may have value as

While this particular item, no
doubt, appeared in the local news
papers following this meeting, we
do not have access to these papers.
A few years ago, after several years
irving. the State Historical Society

the files of the local papers that had
been stored in the basement of the

will have proper attention and kept
in a fireproof building. But to con-
suit any Of these papers requires a

that no condemnation proceedings shall be completed, until the ques- tion of the road property is settled.
 Senator Kenneth Bradley of Westport appeared before Judge McEvoy this morning as counsel for the Rempsens. Attorney Philo Calhoun of Bridgeport appeared as counsel for the hydraulic company. He was accompanied by MT. Cohen of the condemnation committee.
 The Rempsen property consists of five acres in Weston. Their prop erty also borders the road which the company seeks to have con- demned in connection with the dam construction. Since the start of the dam project, the company has met with strenuous objection from the Saugatuck River Association. Ap- proximately $1,000,000 has beer spent by the company during the past year in the purchase of land for use in the dam project.
 The Westport~ ~Danbury road, which must be condemned if the project is to go forward, runs through the cen tral portion of the site for the pro- posed dam to be lsed in the estab- lishment of the reservoir, and passes near the Saugatuck river, upon which the reservoir is proposed to be established.
 The Rempsons claim that if their property is taken over by the com pany, and then the company finds itself unable to take over the road way and thus build the dam, they will be irreparably damaged. They ask that the final condemnation be stayed until the company either is granted or refused the right to take over the road.
 Judge McEvoy, after hearing the arguments of Attorney Bradley and Attorney Calhoun, reserved decision, but promised speedy judgment.
 If this is not disposed of this

Weston Man Seeks Injunction Restraining Company
 From Taking Property for Proposed Reservoir

Sueprior Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy, after chamber session in the local courthouse today, re- served decision in the application of Joseph J. Rempsen and others of Weston for an injunction re- straining the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company and others from taking their property for use in ti:e pro- posed Saugatuck / river reservoir project.
 Superior and supreme court de- cisions have already dictated that the property shall be condemned and sold to the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company for use in the dam.
 A condemnation committee, con- sisting of Chairman Israel J. Conn of Bridgeport; Raymond Watt of Stratford and Joseph F. Heating ot Danbury have set August "A as the date for a hearing to determine what price shall be paid to Rempsen by the Hydraulic Company in con nection with the condemnation, of the land.
 Rempsen, who is joined in the application for injunction by Joseph F. Rempsen, Jr., Helen F. Rempsen Julia M. Rempsen and Emily Remp- sen Lynch, claims that the dam cannot be built unless the Hydraulic company wins court action which it has started against the Town of Weston for the condemnation of two miles of the Westport-Danbury road, also for use in the dam con- struction.
 Unless the company is given court permission to take over the prop erty now covered by the road, no dam can be constructed This fact is admitted by the company.
 Rempsen and his co-plaintiffs seek of Judge McEvoy an order that the company shall not take over the Rempsen property, and

half of the year, Waterbury had a reduction of 26 per cent from last year. The national accident rate from Jan. to June 30 was g per cent lower than last year.
 During the past two years, Water bury has been steadily reducing it's accident rate. The drop is attributed in great part to the work of the police accident prevention bureau. Another important factor has been the Waterbury Citizens Traffic Safety committee. A permanent campaign of accident prevention has been inaugurated, with education playing an important role.
