One member of the police force
stated this morning. that he thought
that there might have been foul play
in the case, because of the position of
the Blood stsins on the motor. He
was familiar with the habits of the
man and said that he could not, un-

East Nag-walk.
In the meantime. the Joint School
committee is endeavoring to ascer-
tain which is the most needed: the
East. Not-walk Junior school or
the addition to the senior high
school. The committee has not
enough money to construct both; one
or the other must go by the board
for the time being.
There was considerable discussion
at the meeting him night. No agree-
ment was reached. It is understood
that most of the members of the
Board of Education favor abandon-
ing the East Norwalk Junior high
in invor of the High school addition.
On the other hand, Common Council
members want the. East Norwalk
Junior High to remain in the new
school program and“ would rather
have the high school auditorium cut
up into school rooms for the time
being with the understanding that
the addition is to be built ate later
date or as soon as a new bond issue
for new schools can'bo secured. The
Joint board look no definite action;
the matter did not come to a vote.
it was decided to hold another meet-
ing at a. later date for further dis-
cussion. It is extremely probable
that this meeting will not be held
until after the lgh school addition
bids are received.

The most important business trans~
acted. however. was the opening of
the bids. A total of the lowest of
the new bids with the lowest of the
old bids showed that the Joint School
committee saved $14.54? by re-ad-
vcrtising the bids.

-SHIPPING OFFICE HERE .
Announcement was made today
that the New York distributing de-
partment of the R. 8:. G. Corset com-
pany for the local factory will be
moved from New York city to Nor-
walk.
Charles Dimond. superintendent of
the Norwalk plant said this morning
that the company would retain its
Chicago, Philadelphia and San Fran-
cisco distributing departments and
Ethat the moving of the New York de-
partment to Not-walk means that the
local factory instead of shipping to
the New York oflice will ship direct
from factory to purchaser. This
phase of the business has never been
handled by the local factory which
was established here in 1880. The
addition of this department. Mr. Di-
moncl said. will not materially in-
crease the number of employees. It
will however. he added. mean that
the invoicing which has previously
been handled entirely by the execu-
tive offices which are in New Tork
city. will be done here.
