the budget of the Highway Depart-
ment in 'the Fourth District. at the
meeting of’lhe Board of Estimate and

whether this sum. which was for th.p

in thc budget of the Highway De—
partment for the Fifth District or
not.
The same argument arose last
night on the hearing ‘of the Highway
Dcpartment budgets. that arose last
year, when the matter of mainten—
ance of permanent pavements wa’s
brought up. Just what constituted a
permanent pavement was hauled
forth and shaken around like a red
rag doll before a bull. and then the
question of whether the Fifth Dis-
trict should pay for this. or whether
the Fourth District 'should pay was

place. was taken to the Norwalk H05-

fcring from scalp wounds and a gen-
eral shaking up. following an accident
on \Vinfield street. East Ndrwalk.
when she was struck by an automog
bile operated by Irving A. Russell of
15 Edlic avenue.
According to statements given the
police. the Glass girl was walking up
\Vinficld street and heard a car he-
hind her. She turned and saw a Ford
blaring down on her. She ' (lifted
across the street. almost directly in
the path in“ tlze Essex car driven by
Russell.
tusscll swerved his car to the right
and went up a bank there. but could
not avoid striking the girl with the
left mudguard of his car. She was
knocked to the ground and cut about
the face. -
Mr. Russell took her to the Nor-
walk Hospital. where she was attend-

portcd the matter to the police. The
accident was. an unavoidable one and
Mr. Russell was not hold.
At the Kespital this morning it was
stated that the condition of the girl
was good. and that there was no true-

The theory has been advanced that

these women have been seen fre-

\VASHINGTON, June 9.—A state.
ment irom Secretary Hoover drclafins
“the essential thing about coal prices
is that the runaway market has been
stopped." was the'. latest development
today in connecti with agitation in
the Senate over strike situation
and theflplan adopted by the secretary
for holding prices at a fair level dur4
ing the tieup of the industry.
issued after the assertion of Sean.-
tor “'alsh, Democrat, Massachusetts.
on the Senate floor yesterday. that:
the public patience was being on
hausted by coal operators taking ad-
vantage of agreements reached with.
Mr. Hoover to boost: their prices to
retailers, the secretary's statement
declared that_"some of the senators
have been misinformed by mislead-
ing statements from a small group
of retailers who object strenuously to
any attempt to restrain prices."
The 't'act is, Mr. Hoover contended
that prices have receded from the
level reached on May 15. and the
public has been protected from a
