, an action filed against Francis San-
;ford. president of the San l-‘ord Au-
, omotlve Products Company. of this
city. in a communication received
today by The Evening Sentinel. de-
nies statements made by Sanford
and gives his version of the trans-
actions between Mr. Sanford and
himself leading up to the present
nit.
Mr. Sanford was recently made
a defendant in a suit filed by Mr.
,. alker to recover $8.000 which he
is alleged to have paid for stock and
which he alleges Mr. Sanford sold
0 him on false representations.
. Mr. Sanford was placed under an
rest in connection with the suit
which was filed on December 30 and
released under bonds of $500.
The communication is published
.» below as a. matter of wide local in-
' terest without this newspaper as-
suming responsibility for any of the
statements or allegations made or
implied:
“Your issue of January 6 contains
L substantially correct. story of my
legal controversy with Francis T.
Sanford. However. there are a few
errors. based chiefly on Mru San-
!ord's misstatements. which I desire
to correct.
“In the first place. I am not now
an officer of the Corporation. On
1. December 30. 1925 I resigned as fin-
" unclal vice-president and as a direc-
tor. For at least a. month previous
I had been an officer in name only.
My authority from the date of my
appointment (as Sanford called it)
‘had been very limited. I became
Financial Viva-President on Octo-

'with the performance of my profes-
sional work as a financial consult-

Alleged Double Dealing
"As a sample of Mr. Sanford's
double deh'llng. I refer to one incid-
ent. A judgment creditor had been
induced to compromise his claim by
telling him that the corporation had
no assets. Correspondence. which
accidentally fell into my hands on
November 25. showed Mr. Sanford
had made this statement to the cred-
itor's attorney within 48 hours of
obtaining $8.000 from me on the re-
presentation of that the Corporation
had assets in excess of $1,000,000.

William H. Miller. of 17 Leonard

George Brown's Confectionery store
on Main street about 11:15 P. M.
He had returned from Bridgeport
and stepped into the store for a
hot chocolate. When he came out
to drive his carbonic. it was not
to be seen. William immediately
notified the pollen and a general
alarm was sent out.
In the meantime John Miller. of
the same address. and a brother of
the owner of the auto. was enjoying
a hugh jokes Ho "swiped” his
broth'er's car to take a friend to the
railroad station without saying a
word to anybody. After driving to
the station John came back to the
First District. * ‘
Brother Bill sensed that some-
thing was wrong about 12:45. He
had searched the nearby streets and
carefully watched all passing cars
without seeing his own. Finally it
dawned upon him that Brother John
was a mischievious lad. He told-
phoned hoine and then discovered
that the joke was on him. John
drove back to wherv the car was
originally parked and the two
brothers rode homo well satisfied-~—
John that he had played s~~joke on

Mr. Nicholas S. Hill. Jr.. Consulting
Engineer whom the Commissioners
have employed to investigate and re-
commend necessary changes to im-
prove the water facilities of the ter-
riiory supplied by the Second Dis-
trict. ,
The report has been gone over
carefully by the. Commissioners and
receives their entire endorsement.
If adequate water is to be supplied
it does not seem possible to material-
ly reduce any of the expenditures
recommended in the report. Vari-
ous sections of the Tiisirlet have sat-
fered a long time from the lack of
water both for domestic use. and fire
protection. With the limited pres-
sure available. or water at Prl‘svnl. if
a serious fire should get under way
in the center of the District. great
damage might result.
it is the earliest desire of the
Commissioners to remedy lh: so cou-
dllions. A district met-ling is to be
called the evening of January 22. to
appropriate the money to carry out
the recommendations of Mr. Hill.
This matter should be of interest.
to every citizen of the District.
If the city ls'ln grow and lake the
place its geographical loonllon mak-
es possible. the. water facilities must
be improved.
The report gives a comprehensive
plan covering the requirements of
the city until INS.
I'nqucslionnhly something must
be done and misting conditions in
these important mailers improved.
If the changes recommended are. in-
stalled as soon as practicable. not
only will llie people enjoy ample
water facilities at. once. but conslvl-
erable money ulll be smell over the
amount required if the work Is done
piece-meal.
It will be a great bent-lit lo the
community If you Will publish the
entire report. with this letter in your
paper and {five all the aid you can
to have. the citizens not favorably on
this matter.
Very truly yours.
