That the United States government
officials are giving sonic attontidn to
the efforts of South Norwalk in re-
gurds to its improvements of the bar—
bol is evidenced by the announcement
made yesterday to the effect that on or
.ahout September 15th, a committee,l
selected by the war department would
.. visit South Norwalk for the pulposc
' of hearing arguments pro and con on;
the proposed establishment of harborl
million on the east and west sides of
the harbor, as requested by the SouthI
Norwaik board of councilman.
. Sometime ago. the bridge commit-
tee requested the mayor and council
;. to petition the war department for the
establishment of harbor lines on both
sidesof the river. Tbe‘announcement
that goxernmeut officials would come
; to boar whau is desired and whut is
«this is in tins with this rooms:
which was made.
Thus it can be seen that the agita~
tlon for the harbor improvement is
being. kept ovorlastingiy up at all
times and the establishment of harbor
lines means much to the city.
The meeting will be bold in the
South Nurwslk Club parlors, arrangc- .

terday morning, when the automobile
in which they were riding, and which
Mr. Mason was driving. crashed into
a telephone pole and turned turtle, in
Main stresh Darleu. Miss Fisher’s in-
juries were on the head and are ho
lleved to be slight. The other occu-
pants of the car escaped wlth.mlnor
injuries. such as slight abrasions and
a severe joltlng up. That they all es‘

The merry party, consisting of Mr.
