Senate Approves Plan
Commissi. on and Five
Policemen—Q u e s -
tion of Police Chief
The bill granting permission to or-
ganise a police force with a police
commission in Darien was passed
yesterday at Hartford by the Senate.
The request for the bill came from
Darien. following a number of hold-
upa and disturbances there last sum-
mer. which came to a climax with
the shooting of Herbert May. mana-
ger of the Darien A. a. P. store.
The bill provides for the estab-
lishment of a police commission and
a force of five men. The estimated
cost as explained at the town meet-
ing last year. when the matter was
passed by the people, approximated
815.000.
The matter of appointing a police
chief is one that is pertinent to the
many constables there. Recently it
was stated that there were three
men being discussed for the post. not
one of whom was a. Darien man.
