An unfavorable report upon the

Council tonight at, its regular,
monthly meeting. The rrport, will his

protest. against the closing of the
two highways: 'l‘hr‘y were: A. '1‘. lil-
dridgc, August lilllel’lsli‘lJl and A. A.

also present and acted as clerk of
the meeting.

Cnnfleld Avenue.

Right. after the session was call‘
ed to order. Mr. liillcnstein wanted
to know if thv (frill' l'asture commit-
tee had investigated the closing of
llcach and Caiii'icld axcnucs. L'oun-
cilmrin lliordaii declared that the
committee had not been appointed
for that purpose, but. simply to hear
protests against the closing oi the
two roads and to report back to the
Common Councn.

The history of Canfield avenue
was cited by Mr. Elridgc. H: de-
clared that Mr. Marvin had no

claim to the road. stating that. the
highway had been "Worked" by the

town as far back as 181-10. lie dc-
clarcd that the city owned the
beach which extends west of the

beach end of the avenue sa) ing that
the city could not give it away as
the property title goes back to the
state “hen the city is through with
it.

“I don't. see what right the city
had to give away Beach road and
the Cauficld road." declared Mr.
Elridge..

“Don't you understand that the
clbslng of the two roads was part
of the bargain made with Mr. Marv
vln in which the city secured the
Calf Pasture beach as a. park?"
questioned (‘ounoilnian Riordan.

"I-‘or fifty years I have used both
Reach and Canfield avcnucs." de-
clared Mr. Billenstein. "These
roads give. you the only entrance to
Long Island Sound in five miles."

At this point. Mr. Gelb told of
hauling oysters up the beach to the
foot of Canticld road and cc 3

The Agreement.

'was purported to be a. copy of the
agreement made between the City
of Norwalk and the Marvins and
others relative to Calf Pasture
beach. As councilman Riordan had
polntedoui. the agreement. which
was signed by Jeremiah Donovan as
mayor of the city. save the Marvin:
the right to close both Beach ave-
nue and (:anfield avenue. The only
question which arises concerns how
far Canfleld avenue extends: that. is
whether or not the old roadway
along the beach between the tWO
avenues is part of Canfield avenuc.
The maps used in connection with
the agreement are not specific on
this point. .

In another part of the agreement
Councilman Riordan pointed out
that in case of legal controversy
over the agreement. the property
known as Calf Pasture beach rc-
verta back to the Marvin: 'and the
other parties to the agreement. ‘He

local company be had had experience
elsewhere. .

Dr. Harrison made a. complete

examinatloo of the body and found
only a slight burn on the small fin-
ger of the dead man’s left hand. It
is believed' that while working on
the switch Morales brushed his fin-
ger against a. small point of expOsed
live wire. which carries over 10.000
volts. '
George B. Leland. general manag-
er of the company, notified the local

sion and Coroner John J. Phcian.
He is also conducting a personal in-
vestigation. Upon the Coroner's or-
ders the body was removed to Prltch-

President Coolidge was bearing up
under his grief and that there had
been no breakdown on the part of
Mrs. Coolidge.

It. was shortly after six P. M. yes-
terday that. the collapse of the pa.
tlent came and he lapsed out of con-
sciousness. At that time a. military
guard had been thrown around the
quarters assigned for the care of the
boy and through this the only mea-
ger news obtained was that brought
out at frequent intervals by E. '1‘.

retary. “'th oxygen and restora-

some glow of the spark of life in

At. 8 o‘clock it was announced that

two hours and a half later that the
physicians pronounced the end.

Messages of sympathy were re-
ceived by the President and Mrs.
Coolidge today from persons in all
lands and in all walks of life. The
tragic death of their son had touched
the heart not only of friends but of
many others who wished to convey
their sympathy and condolences.

Tad Lincoln‘s Death.

Calvin Coolidge. 3n, according to
White House attaches. is the first
son of a President to die while his
father held that office since Tad
Lincoln died in his father's arms in
the “‘hite House near the close of
the Civil \l'ar. So far as they recall.
there has been no instance of a Pre-
sident's daughter dying during his
occupancy of the “'hltc House.

The death of the son of the Pre-
sident marks the third successive ad—
ministration in which the family oc—
cupying the “flute House has been
visited either by death or critical
illness. The first wife of former
President \Vuson died in the “‘hire
House and later Mr. \V‘llsou suffered
there a breakdown which left him
an invalid until his recent. death.
Services for President Harding were
held in the “hits House after his
sudden death in San Francisco and
previously Mrs. Harding had suffer—
ed a critical illness there.
