DISPUTE ON SITE
KILLS SAIIGA'I'IJCK
BRIDGE MEASURE
HARTFORD. April 20.-——Declsred
to be the outcome of a dispute be-
tween State Highway Commissioner
(‘harlos .l. Bennett and the majority or
the residents of \Vostpot‘t. concerning
the location for the proposed new
8200.000 bridge over the Saugstuck
river, a Legislative Ibili providing the
8200.000 appropriation was rejected in
the House yesterday.
The result will be that the plans for
s new state highway along the shore
route leading through Westport to
East Norwslk will probably still be
carried out .excepting that portion st-
focted by the bridge location and that
part will have to wait tor another two
years until the convening or the next
session of the General Assembly.
Since plans for the new shore high-
way have been considered. the state
highway department has insisted that
the proposed new Saugatuck river
bridge be moved south (mm the loca-
tion of the present Bridge street
bridge in Saugatuck. closer to the New
Haven v'ilroad bridge. The majority
or the Westport and Ssugstuck resi-
dents have demanded that the new
bridge be Min tho same location
as the prmnt sructure.
The committee on roads. bridges
and rivers o (the legislature recently
visited the scene and looked over the
proposed F's for the bridge. The
action or the House today in rejecting
the appropriation bill is declared to be
the result of a. desire to have the mut~
ter deterred two years rather than dis-
please the “'e‘pnrt people by having-
the bridge placed in a new location
not acceptable to them.

Firemen have been battling the names

The cause of the fire is unknown.
At 10 o'clock this morning. Dcput:
Fire Chief William J. Powell was noti-
fied that a grass fire was threatening
St. Mary's hospital. A score of tin:-
men were taken to the scene of the
blaze in automobiles.
By the time they grrived. the names
were shooting high into the sir. leap-
ing from limb to limb in the thick
brush and woods. spreading rapidly
under the influence of a stifl breeze.
The tire appeared to menace the hos-
pital. but under the direction of Chief
Powell .the firemen best'out the flam-
ing brush in the vicinity. It was im-
possible. however, for the time being.
to get the main body of tire- undei
control.
At press time .the woods are still a
mass of names which may burn {or
hours before being finally ex-
tinguished. _
Simultaneous with the West. Rocks

reported to which nremdn were called.
A grass tire threatened the Hsley Ice
house ‘in Aiken street with destruc-

LOCAL K. OF C.
READY FOR
CEREMONIAL
Elaborate Plans Made for
Event Taking Place on
April 29.
Most of the third degree exemplifi-
catious of the present. day are followed
by a. banquet and Catholic Union
Council No. 46 has likewise pursued
the course of other councils through-
out thc states. and accordingly on
Sunday. April :9. at 6:30 p. m.. fol-
lowing the exemplification of the third
degree. a. banquet will be given in
Norwalk. It is expected to be one of
the largest local banquets on record.
Two speakers. both of whom are
known locally. lime been secured to
insure a. speaking program of the high
order usually attained in'Catholic cir-
cles in Norwalk. l’tcv. Martin E. lfiahy.
a. curate at Our Lady of Loudes
Church. New York City. of which Rev.
Dr. Joseph McMahon is pastor. will be
one of the speakers. Father Fuhy was
one of the over-seas Catholic chap-
lains during the Great ‘War. and ha?
been actively engaged for the past tow
years as the chaplain of the Catholic
Actors' Guild of America. He is s
most interesting and forceful speaker.
and is constantly in demand for lec—
tures and after-dinner speeches.
“’ililsm ’J, Mulligan. n practicing at-
torney of Hartford. wno has been
the order for the past fifteen years and
is at present the supreme direct“ of
the Knights of Columbus will b. the
other speaker. Mr. Mulligan was the
director in charge of the. overseas sol-
diers’ fund and hnd personal super-
vision of the activities of the soldiers
durin gthe war. and spent a consid-
arable time abroad during thst period.
He is probably as familiar with the.
works of the Knights of Columbus us
any living member. The other details
of the banquet will be as carefully
prepared as the speaking program and
an interesting evening is assured those
who attend. All the Knights of
Columbus of the city are invited and
mittee.

twenty-{our hours ago and when the
automobile he was driving crashed in.

vestigation of the accident.
At the hospital. it. was stated that
Henson had passed a restless night
and appeared to be growing weaker.
Suffering as he is from 1- fracture at
the base of the skull. chances for
Henson's recovery are very slim.
Dr. Huntington inspected the scene
of the acnltll‘nt after» hearing the re-
port at the police. He traced the
course of the automobile from- the
time it crrssnd the. trolley trucks until
it smashed into the pole. .
