LITIGATION OVER
WATERFOWL LAND
WATERFOWL Trust Conn
pany Names Several De-
PENDANTS in Note Action

A summons and complaint against
Jacobs Arbes, Joseph Slayer, Estrif
j. Nezir, and Benjamin Gromet of
this city, and Ephriam Litvinook of
WATERFOWL, and the Citizens and
Manufacturers National Bank, Wa
terbury, was filed today in the court
OF common pleas by the Watertown
Trust Company. The litigation con-
Germs the ownership of certain land
in WATERFOWL.
According to the complaint, on
December 6, 1927 Jacob and LYMAN
Arbes owed the plaintiff 5000, for
which they made out a promissory
not, payable on demand, at 6 per
cent interest. The land in question
was mortgaged to the Trust Com
pany, as security for the note. The
land, and the building on it, which
were included in the mortgage, are
located a mile and half to the
south of the center of WATERFOWL.
The plaintiff charges that interest
payments have fallen far behind,
and demands payment of the note.
The various defendants claim an
interest In the land, in accordance
with several mortgages and attach
ments, all of which the plaintiff
charges were subsequent to the Wa
tertoWn Trust Company mortgage,
which thus has the prior claim.
The plaintiff wants foreclosure of
the mortgage, possession of the
premises, appointment Of a receiver
to administer them, a deficiency
judgment, and such other relief as
the court sees fit.

Unknown Donor
Gives Generous
Gifts Locally
(NEA Telephoto)

The city buzzed with speculation
today as to the identity of the
philanthropist who has showered
large cash gifts on local organiza-
tions during recent days. The total
gifts may reach 100000.
Carefully guarding his identity
by making his gifts through q
third party, the unknown philan-
thropist has donated to a church,
the two hospitals and other or
carnations. The head of each or
ganization receiving money has
been asked not to reveal even the
name Of the Intermediary through
whom the gifts are being made.
The Second Congregational
church has received $4,000. The
Anti Tuberculosis league, the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts have
each received $4,000.
st. Mary's and Waterbury Hos
pitfalls have each received large
sums, but authorities Of the insti-
tutions would say only that the
gifts were "substantiaP.
Presumably other organizations
and institutions have also bene-
fitted by the generosity Of the un-
known philanthropist. It is not
even known whether It Is a man
or q woman who Is distributing
the large sums.
