When \iohiolo Turned Turtle

Only One was Injured

Pep -Hai'if9rd car on the Connecticut
turn Ike just over the dividing line be

 

tween Norwalk and Darien and in the

latter town. yesterday.

Through some peculiar orking of
fate none of the three ( pants of
the machine were riiled or seriously
injured, though the car took a flying
leap through a fence went down an
embankment several feet high, stood
on end and turned turtle. As it lay
overturned it looked to be a total
wreck, but after it had been towed to
Parley Sturges’ garage in Norwalk yes-
terday afternoon, people familiar with
automobile repairing, expressed the
opinion that it could be put in shape
again for about $800. The body was
practically torn to pieces, the frame
bent and the whole machine twisted
askew. One peculiar feature of the ac-
clldeut was that not a tire was damag-
e .

The wrecked car is the property of
the Pope Auto Rental Company. of
New York and was being driven by a
chauffeur who was just returning from
New HaVen where he had been with a
party. Riding with him were two Nor
walk lads, George Presseur‘ and Ray
Barrett. The latter and the chauffeur
practically escaped injury, hilt young
Pressenr was rendered unconscious for

‘ about five minutes and today has a
stiff neck as a reminder of the occa-
slop. Presseur and Barrett were not
acquainted with the driver but as the
latter was driving along the t-urnpike
a. short time before the accident they
requested him to allow them to ride
slung for a way and he assented. As
the car went over the embankment all
were buried out. Fortunately for the
driver his seat was torn off when the
Impact. occurred and he was not pin—
ioncd behind the steering post. He es-

That not that was passed by the (low
eml Assembly Friday. placing the regu-
lation of the shell fisheries in New
Haven and Orange harbors In control
of the state stroll fish commission, is
more ldesprcad in its effect than is
genera ly supposed by the public. It
is special legislation aimed to relieve
a special situation regarding the title
to the oystem beds that range from the
Lighthouse to Woodmont. and which
are now in the New Haven and Orange
harbors. For some years the Orange
township when it has come to making
assussmenis‘. has been puzzled as to

just what: property in the beds is with- -

in Its jurisdiction and the exact locnI
tlon of boundary lines. The same iro-
uble has also bothered New liuvcn

whole legislation in Hartford along

the oyster growers. large and small.
The mapping of the beds, which the
bill provides for, may have the effect
of putting some of the growers who

any rate. it will be incumbent upon
some of the mto provrI flint they on

pancy of the beds.

“The bill." said Senator l'iomun was
passed Friday. and It refers directly to
lIli' New Haven and Orange harbor
which is owned joiiiiiy by the towns of
New Haven and usage. The lines
marking the jurls lction of the towns
are iiiinginary.. in many instances the
people who own the‘ beds have clouded
