The same action was taken in the
case of the freeholder's committee,
which is investigating the Chestnut
street extension. project. , ?

Corporation Counsel Quinlan read a
communication from Cummings d:
Lockwood, of Stamford, who wrote in
the interests of their clients. who are
purchasing the Bishop mill mperty.
in the First district. There may arise
a possible dispute over the title to a.
raceway through the property, the ti-
tle of which is not very clear at pres-
ent. and it is liable that the city might
claim this raceway later. In order to
onset-"any future dispute, the Stam-
ford law firm asked the city to clear
the title in order that the new owners
may have a clear and undisputed
right to the entire property. The mat—
ter was referred to Mr. Quinlan for
settlement in order to cause no delay
in the transaction.

Another communication was read
by. Mr.» Quinlan from the Board of Ed-
ucation which asked that the council ’ ~

which would precede the sale of the
dairy buddings, now located on the

.Jefl'crson school property. on Prospect

and adopted that a public hearing be

brought out the fact that a fire occur-

This action was when on motion of
