MERRITT GRAND
 JURY ON VISIT
They Are Going Over High- way Route Instead of
 Hearing Evidence

Bridgeport, Conn.,, April 13.-(UP) -The extraordinary grand jury in- vestigating the states $6,100,000 land purchases for the Merritt parkway, cancelled its session today to make a personal inspection of the $20,- 100000 super-highTay. Accompanied by States Attorney Lorin w. Willis and an assistant, the jurors went by automobile to the New York state line where the parkway forms continuation point through Con- necticut for the Hutchinson river parkway. The motorcade proceeded leasurely along disputed points of the highway to Norwalk, stopping from time to time to inspect prop critics composing the 432 rights-of- way, bridges and the general nature of the land bought by the state highway department over a period of six years. The jury, which thus far has returned three indictments, was to resume its deliberations at the Fairfield county courthouse Thurs Ady ciLh GAlCll lCCCoo uIiJli 1 uCSudy.
 First Time Ovr Route
 When the jurors reported for duty this morning they were unaware of the planned inspection trip until it was announced by Willis. It was the first time they had gone over the highway since they were impaneled ten weeks ago by order of Superior Court Judge Carl Foster.
 Since it was convened the jury has questioned highway officials, leading politicians, real estate brokers and other persons directly involved in the numerous land transactions, many of which. it was charged, brought exorbitant payments from the state.
 Most recently it examined the bank account of Highway Commis- sioner John A. Macdonald whose appraiser, former Republican Rep resentative G. LeRoy Kemp, Darien. was one CT the three persons whom the jury returned true bills accus- ing common law conspiracy to split commissions of more than $80,000.

 Transfers Pending
 While WPA Supervisor William E. Kennedy kept the 50 men at work digging further trenches today, the city officials were seeking supplies from the Street Department to keep the men on the job until the meet ing of city boards which will have to make transfers of appropriations. Aware of the approval by the Board of Public Works, the Board of Fi- nance and the Board of Aldermen of the project, in question, and its importance at this time, the control Ter could have honored the requi- Sitions tentatively, subject to later approval by the boards.
 In spite of the fact that this con- struction is 8 rush job, one which must be completed before the state starts it's paving program planned for the trunk highways over the site of the city's underground work, MT. Rowland was unwilling to do this, saying, in this instance, that he was prohibited by charter from allowing "over-expenditure of an appropriation"
 Asked Payment
 This policy has failed of import ance to the controller in other cases, however, and he recently asked pay ment for personal expense under taken in the matter of extra office help for which there was no appro- priation in the budget. The Board of Finance granted him this re- payment in spite of his infraction of charter provision.
