Forced to Vacate If
It Does Not Live Up
To Lease
That it the City did not. live up to
the lease. for the rental 0! the tire
house in the First District in Main
street. the First District would ter-
minate this lease and force the city
to vacate the buildings. was the in-
formation conveycd to the Board of
Estimate and Taxation. at their
meeting last evening by' Attorney
Edward Quinlan "of the First Dis-
trict.
Mr. Quinlan stated that he did
not think that the Board had acted
fairly in the matter of making an
appropriation for a. new root on the
tire house when it was asked for in
the budget last year. He intormed
the Board members that it. was not.
up to them to say to the District
“we will give you an increase in
rental and you nx-your own roof."
He said that the lease was very
plain and that it stated that the
City should repair the buildings.
William McMahon interned Mr.
Quinlan that the adyice ot the Cor-
poration Counsel had been asked on
the matter and that he had ruled
that a. new roof on the building was
a matter of rebuilding and that he
did not think that the City should
stand for it.
Mark Henderson of the Board sta-
ted that he had examined the build-
ing and that: the root was leaking.
He thought that it should be re-
paired.
Councilman Riordan stated that
he had been asked to look the mat-
ter over and found that it was ne-
cessary to put an entire new roof
on the building .but that: it could
be repaired for the sum of $150. so
that it would not leak.
Edward J. Finnegan District
Commissioner said that all the Dis-
trict wanted was the root repaired.
but that they had never been con-
sulted on the matter. He also sta-
ted that they had never accepted
the increase in rental.
‘Villiam H. Malone said that he
thought the sum of '8350 would
cover the expenses of repairing the
root and that this matter should
be len up under the budget or
the Fire Department at a future
meeting.

rested by Detective Sergeant George
H. McCarthy and was later taken to
Darien by Police Captain John B.
Brennan on a warrant charging him
with cutting down a tree without the
necessary permit from the Town
Tree Warden of Darlen.
Some time ago Mr. Healy asked
permit to cut down a tree near his
gasoline station but the permission
was denied. “'hen indications were
shown that the tree might be cut
down without a permit an injunction
was issued restraining Mr. Healy
from doing this.
It is alcged that Mr. Hesly left
the tree‘protected by the injunction
but cut down another nearby tree

about a permit. Last night the man
was turned over to the Darien auth-
orities and was released on bond of

were trapped in the closed a“.
Miraculously both of the young Ind

Third Accident. ’
,This is the third accident to hop.
pen at the» New Canaan avenu=
bridge in, a year. The place where
Mayo‘s car went through the railing
is the same identical place when
Lester Cole. of Norwalk. underwent
a. similar experience several month
ago. On the night of April 19. try
Bridgeport young men met their
death when their car crushed
through the railing on the opposini
si e.
At the inquest held by Corr:
oner John J. Pheian into the dea
of these men. he termed the railing:
like "so much paper' and recon-t
mended that the city widen this:
bridge and put up new railings. '
Had the Nor-walk river been ‘
high as it was on April 19. probo-
bilitie. are that both Mayo and XOL‘ "
ler would have been drowned. Dur.
ing the past two or three weeki
however. the stream had dropped
more than three feet. At the point
where the automobile landed on its
top the water was about three teat. -
deep. .

by the two young men that Maya,

owned by his mother. Mrs. m
