The situation in the East Norwalk
electric light controversy remains the
some No word has been given out
by Commissioners 11. 1. Bennett and
Charles E. Kuhncr as to whether they
wtil accept the resignation of William
H. Sniffen. A special meeting was
itch! Wednesday at uoontime, but
nothing came of it. it was learned to
day that Mr. Sniffen‘s resignation will
not be accepted. As he has in the
[mill bccn advocating: the retaining of
Ralph C. Macy as superintendent, this
will probably mean that Mr. Macy
will be offered a new contract.
