SON REPRESENTS
 MOTHER IN CASE
Mrs. Richman's Appeal on Meadow Street Property
 Deal Upheld

The protection of real estate agents in Waterbury was emphasiz- ed this morning in Superior Court when Judge Kenneth Wynne, called on to decide between conflicting bids of $10,750 and $l1,000 for a business property at 487-489 Meadow street, stated the first bid was ob- viously made in good faith, and since the amount between the bids was only $250, the first bidder ought to be given the right to add the difference to his bid to meet the latter offer. Counsel at once stated that his client, Mrs. Richman of Hartford, would gladly raise her bid to this latter figure.
 The property involved is at present owned by the Merchants Trust Company, and the firm of Emmons & Seville are the 3ccup- ants. Some time ago Mrs. Richmai1, operating the Magic Auto Supply Co.,, at 443 Meadow Street, offered to buy the Merchants Trust Co.,, property for $1O,750. The offer was made to Walter Perry, receiver for the bank.
 Subsequently second bidder made the higher offer. Mrs. Richman, ap- pealing to the court, on the grounds of Priority, offered to meet the lat ter bid. Judge Wynne today decided in her favor.
 Atty. Milton Richman of Hartford, son of the plaintiff, represented his mother.

Ways and means of holding ( referendum on the question of { municipal rubbish removal plar were discussed at a meeting held if Mayor Vincent A. scully's office yesterday afternoon of represents tiveS of various community clubs of the city.
 While no definite course of action was decided upon and no promise was made of actual holding q refer- enduin the mayor pointed out that if the group interested in the city having such a system wanted tt have 1t voted upon at the next city election, 1t would be necessary te present to tho Board of Aldermen q petition signed by IS per cent oi the city voting list.
 The question of having the ref erendum raised by the board wal also mentioned In the course of the discussion.
 Mayor sculiy expressed both Synl- pathy and interest in the plan ai . means Of creating c more healthy community and in getting rid oi eyeSoreS that are r1enaceS to com" munity health, but pointed out the expense of such c project and the need of having 1t approved through the proper civic channels, aS well aS having funds provided.

past growth, strength, accom- plishments, even whose forward looking emanteed from Daisy Lord.
 Daisy Lord is gone. From her familiar haunts she has departed. Her home, her friends, her work she has left Her plans she has laid down. Her present and her earthly future have met and have ended. Daisy is dead. How harsh, how final is the wordl
 As is meet, the living ever must press on, toiling, straining, hop ing, to the time when they too must take their places in the everlasting yea.
 Yet 1t Is sad that a teachers passing seems to make not a rip- pie in the surface serenity of our lives, and that her memory soon fades into a vague recollection, from recollection to oblivion.
 Therefore, 1t is suggested that a memorial to Daisy Lord be es- tablished in the form of @ prize at Wilby's graduation.
 The educational circles of this nation have honored Daisy Lord. They have appreciated her worth, and in many forms have noted her passing and bemoaned 1t. Shall 1t also be said of us.

forward this week although re-
ports were a little more variable
than in the preceding seven-day
period, according to Dun & Brad

equaled their previous weeks fig
ures. while others showed marked
gains.

stances. outstanding gains have
been made. New car sales for the

building materials has jumped
sharply in line with an increase in
new construction work of almost
so per cent over the corresponding
period last year.
Wholesale distribution remains
at around 10 per cent over 1910
and increased slightly over the
preceding week as delivery Of
Spring orders began in earnest.

substantially greater amount of
advance orders than last year.

Dictatorship
Over Coal Is

One American industry has

brought under Hitler dictation:
the bituminous coal industry.
Producers haven't a word to say

You and /. every user Of coal.

of state socialism. Authorities
compute that not less than
