-—_._._.___._.__.__,__
NEW YORK, July 7.—(AP). The U. S. submarine 8-51 went
aground today between the Williamsburgh Bridge and the Queens-
borough Bridge while being towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The 8—51 had just passed through
what was believed to be the major
perils of the journey here. the pos-
sible sinking in the deep waters of
the Sound and loss in th swirling
waters of Hell Gate. All seemed to
' be in order for a speedy and safe
arrival when the undersea. boat
suddenly plied upon on Ferly Reef
Bock between the two East River
brides.
, The 8-61 was being towed in tan-
dem by the tugs Ruka. and Saga-
more. A civilian pilot who had join-
ed the navy during the night was
in charge of guiding the flotilla to
the navy yard. A second civilian
pilot was on the Falcon, leadship of
the convoy. Although the Navy had
ordered river traffic to be turned
aside to permit a free land for the
raised submarine and its convoy.
there had apparently been some
bitch in the orders because the us.
ua.i traffic was steaming up and
down' the river when the accident
occurred.
The rock where the submarine
_ went aground is of! of 38 street
south of Welfare Island.
Captain W. B. Tomb commanding
the Vestal. said that a buoy which
should have designated the Early
l Reef Rock was missing. next month.

__.lneeting of the common council last evening.
The requests of Frank H. Merrill
Victor E. Tristram to lay sew-
ers at their own expense in the

two members of the council for in-

fieveral of the members of the

taxed for the upkeep of the sewers
in the future.

The common council at its meeting last evening disputed the
right of the board of estimate and taxation to name streets for
pavement without the streets being first approved of by the
council, but “signed on the dotted line" after making its futile
squawk.
every effort will be made to solicit
suburban trade. and in order to ns-l
sure the maintenance of the bus;
line. a large patronage must be se-‘
cured. No action has been taken of—1
ficially by the local board of trade!
yet. but it is expected that when the
date of the opening of the bus line
has been announced local merchants:
will launch a vigorous campaign tori
new business. 1
John M. Munsie'. chairman of the
merchanis' committee of the .\'or-

ing that many plans are now under
way for the opening of tho Darlen-

soon as a definite date of opening is
set by the Connecticut Co.
With the Dnrien bus line now a
reality. much has been said lately of
bus service between Weslport. par-
ticularly Compo Beach and Norwalk.‘
Merchants here like the idea very
much, and have expressed the desire
to promote this project. even to the
extent of providing a certain guaran-

Co.. to cover any deficit lhht may be

The first objection was offered by
Councilman lial‘l'y Mather, who said
that he did not see why lhe illird

council should take some action on
the paving of the streets.
Councilman Edward M. Gans said
it was up to the council to name the
