State Highway Commissioners. concern .
inxthe location of the Telfonl road
Which it is proposed to build this spring
under the state law. Street Commis-
sioner Briggs. of South Norwalk who
went to Hartford Wednesday. met the
aelectmen at the depot and accompani-
ed them to the commissioners' office.
The aelectmen met Cnnmissioners
William R. MacDonald and A. C. Stern-
herg. There seems to be a division of
opinion concerning the matter among
the Highway Commission. as well as
among the people of Norwalk. When
Mr. Belleck was introduced. Mr. Muc-
Donald inquired.
”You are first aelectman. are
Mr. Selleck?"
“Yes. sir." responded the seloctman.
“Then you are the fellow they have
all been trying to bulldoae down there
and couldn't make it out." said the com!
missioner.
Mr. Selleck said he did not know that
everyone had been trying to bulldoze
him. but some people had.
Street Commissioner Briggs said there
was no reason why the piece of road
could not bebuilt within the limits of
South Norwalk. as voted at the recent
cité meeting.
i hway Commissioner Sternburg
said e had Men informed by counsel
that the. roadconld be built where the
town meeting had ordered, and that the
decision of the Highway Commissioners
was llnal.
At this juncture Selectman Selleck in-
terrupted with: “Did your counsel say
that? Then I don‘t give a snap for his
you not.
opinion."
“What do me mean by that?" was
Mr. Stern s answer. .
Mr. Sellec then wanted -to know
what the commission was going to do
with South Nomalklscity charter which
, that the city should maintain
and build its own roads.
Cmumissiunor. MacDonald said Mr.
Bollock’ claimiyras correct, and than
the in, j‘waenthsly within the‘
.proviuc‘efbf the selectméu' to decide
“where‘snch arcad shouldbe built. He
thought the only Wily the road could be
built in South 'Norwalk was by the
city’s payingfitbm 31.000 and building
the road undo supervision of the
selectmen. and th agreeingto main.
taut it. -
Mr. Selleck said that such was his
own idea of the matter; that 'if it was
not done that way any tax-paier could
pla'ce an injunction on the wor .
Street Commissioner Briggs thought
that if the matter came to a test the
town might be obliged to take care of
all the roads in bothcities.
Highway Commissioner MacDonald
then asked if there was not a division of
highWay money by the town for the
care of hi hways by the cities. as pro-
vided in t eir charters.
Mr. Selleck said there was.
Mr. MacDonald then wanted to know
where the authority for making the
town take entire charge of the highways
came in. . ‘
Selectman Thames said the question
seemed to be that South Norwalk want-
ed the road built Within its limits, and
then wanted the town to maintain it.
Street Commissioner Briggs said the
city had laid out no money there. as it
would be of no benefit to the city. even
if the road was within the city limits.
Selectman Selleck said there was con-
tinual complaint concerning the road,
and that the city should repair it.
Highway Commissioner MacDonald
said the commission would take no ac»
tion then, but would wait until the
other commissioner. James H. Mac-
Donald. a brotherof his. got back, when
they would unite and give a final
ansWer. , . ‘
The selectmen expect to hear from the

The steam barge Dale. Captain Joseph

from the New England Pipe company.
of Bridgeport. consigned to Mott Hav-
en. went ashore on Onllendar’s Print.
oi! Nomtcn. several days ago. as hereto.
fore stated in The Sentinel. and it is
feared that she became a total loss in
yesterday's storm.
The Dale had user-ice of mishaps on
her way down the Sound. before the one
that landed her high and dry on Nero-
ton beach. When off the Nos-walk
Islands the Dale’s rudder became die-
abled and Captain leine prepared to
anchor until the damage could be re-
paired. The anchor. however. was not
attached to the cable. and lay 10059 on
deck. Consequently, when the barge
lost her steamge way and fell beam on
to the no it of the sea. she gave a
sudden lure and the anchor went
overboard. Then there was nothing to
do but drift. and that is what the ale
did. until she brought up hard and fast
on Cohander‘s Point. The captain of
the steam barge Clifford heard her whis-
tle of distress, but it is said he refused to
aid her, although she was within a
cable's length.
The Dale lies in such a position that
it is impossible to discharge her cargo
by way of land. and it must be taken
offby boat. There is six feet of water
under her stern at big)? tide. and it
would have been feast etc pull her
of! had another vessel been securable.
The bench isa stony one. and if the
storm broke over it yesterday, it is
believed that she could not have ea-
ca total loss.
he cargo of pipe is valued at over
01.000. and up to yesterday mostof'it
was believed tobe intact. All the pip-
ing in the hold was thought to be
safe. notwithstanding the poundin the
vesselhad received. Part of herceck~
load. however. was badly shattered.
A HURRICANE is come.
The Wind Is Likely to Blow Brest Guns for Two
Days.
The Washington weather bureau sent
cautionary signals outlast night in view
of a hurricane which seems to be up
preaching. Observer Myres. of New Hav-
en.receivedaspecinl communication from
the Washington authorities ordering
him to display the hurricane flags and
also to warn skippers of all vessels not
to leave port as dangerous northeasterly
winds were expected to prevail. '
The information which the authori-
ties sent out was to the effect that the
storm was central over Washington.
and was moving slowly eastward. The
wind. it was predicted. would shift dur-
ing the night from southeast" to north-
WGSWWhem it will continue to blow for
some time. The mercury will fall dur.
ing the next twelve hours to the neigh~
borbcod of 20 degreesl‘ and the cold wave
will last for two. days. Observer Mey-
ers said that but little precipitation
would occur during today and Saturday.
Light snow hurries and light showers
may prevail. Ice is expected to form
throughout the state, but not to any
thickness. Signals are displayed from
Cape Henry to Eastport.
The Selectinen Award the Contract to Wllliam

The culvert over Gosling brook.
in West avenue, partly caved in and be-
came stopped up during the hard
rain yesterday afternoon. so that it

lanterns placed where the street had
