I one. hundred members of the league
The idea. of financing the league
throughout Fair-field County. with
the idea of later spreading the plan
throughout the state by means of
letters to the public was brought up
before the. league by Norwnlk rep-
resentatives. it was set forth that
the local branch of the league had
acéomplished its financing by this
means with success. It was further
explained that scores of persons
would be. glad to contribute toward
the expense connected with the or-
ganizntion. non-partisan as it is and
with the idea of bettering conditions.
After the business meeting. lunch-

Wall Street Today
The showing made by the United
States Steel corporation for the three
months ending September 30 and the
declaration of the extra dividend of
1-4 per cent came as a. complete sur-
prise to the Street and late yester-
day afternoon there were many bids
of around 87 for the stock which
closed at 86 3-8. In some cases bids
as high as 88 were reported.’ Must
interest. was attached to the fact that
earnings were fully $7,000,000 in ev-
ccss of the popular estimates and
that the September quarters earn-
lugs brought thou-amount applicable
to dividendsin the first nine months
up to above $11 a. share.
One strong element was positive in
the vier that the U. S. Steel devel-
opments will prove the turning point
in the markets and determine :3
course for some time to come.
Other developments of a. like char-
acter are expected in connection with
important lndustrials whose earnings
have for some time been running far
ahead of dividend requirements.
A report was current. yesterday
afternoon, that a surprise may come
in connection with American 13111).
There were many who thought rhat
announcement in regard to com-
pany’s dividend policy is close at
hand.
The stock of that company, how-
ever, will sell extra dividends of 1
1-4 per cent today. The next divi-
dend will not be payable until Feb-
ruary.
Although speculative sentiment
continued divided many of these
often active in the market were con-
fldent yesterday in the belief that
what they class as good stocks will
have substantial advances from
their present range.
At the opening of the market to-
day the United States Steel and
Studebaker corporation rose sharp-
ly. The initial transaction 1! United
States Steel was a. spread opening of
5,000 shares at 89 to 88 1-4.
\Vhen the immediate requirements
of the shorts were satisfied renewed
selling pressure against all shares
temporarily checked the upward
movement. The usual leaders re-
ceded but slightly, however. from
the high levels and before noon the
movement to higher grounds was re-
newed with increased visor. ,

MOVE TO HALT
WASHINGTON ST
WIDENING
Some Merchants Fear
Street Will be Torn
Up During Holiday
Season and Hurt the
Trade
A movement is under way at. the
present time to hold up the work on
the widening of Washington street
until next Spring.
It is understood that; a. request to
delay the improvement will be pre-
sented to the Council at its next
meeting. Some of the merchants
object. to having the street torn up
during the holiday season.
The contract for the widening of
the street was awarded at. the last
meeting of the'Councll to William
Lawlor, local contractor. It was
stated in the contract that the work
would have to be started five days
after the signing of the contract. but
to date nothing has been done re-
garding the matter. It is believed
that. the reason for the delay, is the
objections of the merchants. 1
' At‘ the present time there is an
ordinance stating: that Washington
street shall be a. one—way street and
the signs have been painted by the
Police department and put in place.
but to date no~attempt has been
made to enforce the ordinance.

BEGIN WORK
OF DREOGING
HARBOR HERE
The United States government is
ready to spend part of the $212,001)
appropriations for Norwalk harbor
improvements, as the city has done
its part by erecting. as the contract
with the government specified, a
public dock. The dock was to cost
$15,000 but now, upon its comple-
tion, the total cost is $29,000. The
work was finished Saturday.
The dock is on the proposed park
site, which extends from the “fash-
lngton street bridge east to the Mill
pond, East Norwalk.
City officials have received word
from the government that it has
awarded the contract for dredging
the harbor to the J. S. Packard com-
pany of Providence. R. I. The com-
pany will receive approximately
$98,000 for its part in the work.
Dredging is now under way at the
Norwalk Country Club and will be
carried on up the harbor, making
it wider and deeper. as far as 200
feet south of the Wall street bridge.
The city is endeavorlng to have the
Packard company pump its fill upon
the proposed park site, instead of
taking it out into the Sound in
scows. The city’s plan would save
the dredging company expense and“
would also make the park site ac-
ceptable. to consideration by the
townspeople.
