POLICE ARREST
VIM. CAMBIGUE
Former Fire Commissioner
Held on Four Charges;
Caught After Drive
(NEA Telephoto)

William Cambigue, of 220 South
Elm street, former member of the
Board of Fire Commissioners, was
arrested last night on four charges
of tipsy and skip driving and oper-
ating without license or registration
after he struck three cars on the
Meriden road and fled a quarter OF
mile with doused lights.
Motor Patrolmen Thomas Phelan
and Joseph Dunphy, who chased the
fleeing Cambigue and nabbed him
after he struck the last car in the
series of collisions, reported to Cap
tain William Duggan, head of the
accident prevention bureau, that
Cambigue was drunk. He was. put
in the lookup for the night.
The arresting officers reported
that the former fire commissioner
driving a truck, struck car oper-
alter by John Geniusius, of 221 Alder
street, caromed, and drove on, after
swapping off his headlights.
His itinerary brought him into
contact with a car driven by Regi-
maid Cossette, of Woodtick Road. but
Cambigue fled on after this collision.
BY this time, police were hard
on his heels, the report shows, and
they succeeded in nabbing him after
he crashed into car operated by
Joseph Kramer, of So Mill street.
A passenger in the Kramer car,
Joseph Driscoll, SIS, of 154 Wolcott
road, suffered decorations as re-
suit of the collision, but his injuries
were not serious and he was dis
charged after treatment at ST..
Mary's Hospital.
Cambigue was Mayor Patrick M.
Perriello appointee to the fire board.
He was released today under bonds
of $500 and is expected to be ar
raigned in court Monday, April %.
Attorney A. Henry Weisman posted
the necessary bail and it is expected
that Attorney Frank Healey, former
chairman of the Board of Fire Com
missioners, will act as counsel tor
the defense.

CONSTRUCTION in
APRIL IS HEAVY
100000 Reached With
Month Less Than Half
Way Over

With April less than half over
construction work which will cost
more than 100000 has been started
since the first of the month, &C.
cording to.a STUDY of permits issuec
by Building Inspector John T. Hart
ley. This figure exceeds the tota
construction cost Of all work started
during January, February anc
March.
January permits were for work
costing $146,50O. The February tota
was SGT, 375, and the March figure
slumped to $21 $50. These three
months combined had less building
activity than the first 10 days Of
April.
Building Inspector Hartley ex-
poets that the upward trend will
continue. He believes that the start
of much construction planned fol
this year was delayed because OF
the severe winter and the attendant
difficult working conditions.
Thus far in April there have been
23 permits issued. The largest was
for the erection of the new wing at
st. Mary's Hospital, the building OF
which is estimated at $275, 900. Sew
eral new one-family dwellings have
been started, and many alterations,
additions and repairs have been be-
gun.
With more than two weeks of the
month yet to go. it is expected that
building here will reach the highest
figure for any single month In recent
years. This years building total
promises to exceed by far that Of
1899, despite the comparatively slow
start during the first quarter.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


Stockholm, Sweden, April
10. - (UP) - Norwegian sol.
diers and volunteers are hold
ing Halden, on the Osolo
Fjord, despite reports of
German troop landing and
the Norwegian flag still flies
over the strong Norwegian
fortress of Fredrikssten near
by, it was reported today.
It had been reported that the
Germans succeeded in landing force
at Halden, on the eastern side OF
Oslo Fjord near Frederickstad, which
had made long and stubborn stand
under terrible airplane lombard
ments.
1t was asserted that the German
troops had arrived during the night.
Not Captured
Whether they had landed or not,
the Stockholm radio flashed dis
patch from the official Swedish Tel
egraph Agency that Halden had not
been captured and that the Nor
wegians held also the fortress.
The ;tuation along the so miles
Oslo Fjord which leads to Oslo
from the Skagerrak, was extremely
uncertain. 1t had been reported
conflictingly that Allied ships were
blocking the entrance; that another
German fleet had reached Oslo,
yester lay, including battleship
and a number of destroyers and
other warships, to be met by am
balances, that the German troops
had arrived at Halden.
Sent In Planes ....
It was believed that the Halden
troops, if landed, might have been
sent from Germany in special
transport planes.
1t was at least apparent that the
Germans held the Fjord as far
down from Islo as Moss, a reach of
some 30 miles, but that the Nor
wegians were in strong force not
far inland and held that the Fjord
east of the coast to the south.
Numerous trained Norwegian Of

rived in southeastern Norway to
organize volunteers who were hur-

port facilities, passing civilian ref

toward the frontier.
