Council Decides to Let
“Road” Improve ItsOwn .
Property at
Denies Request From Street Committee To Loan City
Equipment To Be Used In Repairing Rutty Ap-
proach To East Bound
A Nuisance.
The Common council decided de-
mu last evening that it will not
authorise the expenditure of a thin
/ dime to fix up New York. New lis-
von & Hartford railroad company
property at th station so that pa-
trons of that c mpany. riding in ve-
hicles can get to the station without
diving in and out of the innumerable
ruts. holes and guileys to be found
there.
This subject came before the
meeting in the form of a report from
the street committee recommending
that the municipal street depart-
ment loan the New Haven road city
machinery and equipment to use in
making repairs. the road to provide
the labor and materials. The rep‘fi
was presented by Councilman Tali-
madge and Councilman Hamilton
favored it. So did Councilman Gans.
Most of the others jumped on it with
both feet declaring that the council
had no right to spend a cent of city's
money directly or indirectly to im-
prove private property.
Councilman Gans reminded his
colleagues that the road had once
hinted it might be necessary to
close up one entrance to the station.
but the councilmcn did not show
any fright at. this little bluff al-
though Corporation Counsel Cunco.
in reply to a question. gave an off.
hand opinion to the effect that ,the
road could do about anything it liked
with its own property.
The condition of the approach to
the east bound tracks has long been
a subject of complaint and the sub-
ject has been discussed by city offi-
cials and the New Haven road. The
math stand has beenthat t city
should pay at Jeast half of t o ex-
pensa‘until recently. when it of-
fered to fix up the roadway if the
city would loan it the necessary ma-
chinery and equipment. '
The road'sargument has been that

Senate Approves Sale »
To Westport Of Strip
Leading To Great Marsh
Because Great Marsh shores is a
development promoted by local men
headed by John Cavanagh. consider-
able interest is attached to the re-
port from Washington that sale to
the town of Westport of a strip of
Great Marsh there. was approved
by the Senate yesterday. Senator
Blngham, who introduced the bill
for the purchase last week, favor-
ably reported it from the Military
Affairs committee and asked for its
immediate consideration. It was pas-
sed without discussion and now goes
to the House. The same bill was
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Schuyler Merritt of Stam-
ford-and was incorporated in the
Omnibus River and Harbor bill. but
this provision was stricken out dur-
ing the House filibuster against the
bill.
The strip of land was acquired by
the government in ms, and a canal
wasbuilt across Great Marsh to al-
low smail boats'to reach Westport
harbor from Long island sound. The
canal has longebeen filled with sand
and the War department states that
therein no object in keeping the
land. The tin of Westport desires
the strip or road purposes to aid
in development of shore property. It
is expected that the House will
pau' the bill before adjournment of
thisse-lonasitwss lostiathe
House before on a technicality and
not on its merits.

I Sectional Feeling Arouscd
The matter scented to bring out
the old feeling between the uptown
iand downtown sections of the city.
The three councilmcn from the up~
town section thought the appoint-
ment of a detective sergeant belong-
ed to them but were opposed by the
councilmcn from this end of the
city.
When it leaked out yesterday that
there was a split over the office and
the story appeared in the Evening
Sentinel last evening giving the in-
side details of the fight, there was
considerable surprise among the
leaders of the Republican party and
for a, time it was thought the ques-
tion might go over as it was sup-
posed to be a surprise move at the
council meeting last evening. Sev-
eral members of the inside were
questioned by the leaders regarding '
the leak but all pleaded ignorance.
The matter was not discussed at
at the council meeting. There were
no nominations made. Councilman
Towers Hamilton simply moved that,
the council proceed to ballot for a
detective sergeant and the motion
passed. The ballot was then taken
and Motorcycle Policeman Lengyei
was elected.
He will start on his new duties
September 1 and until that tlmc will
continue as motorcycle policeman.
Sergeant-elect Lengycl has bad con-
siderable experience in police work
and is well vcrsgd in the art of tak-
ing records of criminals and in fine
gcr printing.
He stated this morning that he
would do his utmost to carry out
the duiics of the office. and be
thanked his friends for their sup-
port.
Just who Mayor Thomas Robins
will appoint to take the place of
Lengyel as a patrolman is the
cause of considerable discussion to-
‘day. Supernumerary officers William
Dattalo. John Toothill. Jr.. and Bou-
ton seem to have the inside track at
the present time. Toothill is an ex-
pericnced motorcycle rider. His
father John Toothill is a patrolman
and No. 2 on the force at the present
time. If the request for additional
‘funds is approved by the board of
estimate and taxation five appointv
ments to the force will be made Sep~
tcmbcr 1.
