chairman of the committee stated
this morning that it was the plan of
the committee to go over the situa-
tion thoroughly and make a. study
. of the various systems in use
‘ throughout the other cities in the
state. He did not think that the
present system installed. and which

bir. Reed had installed the system
on approval and that he did not
think the city was obligated to him.

‘ Coucilman Gans seemed to think
that the three light system being
mud in Bridgeport and Stamford
was the best. He thought that this
was being set up as a standard by
the motor vehicle department.
The system installed by'Mr. Reed
and which has not been put in oper-
ation throughout the district is a
two light system similar to the
light in under the Washington street
railroad bridge. it has been instan-
ed for the past several weeks but
,the only light of the entire. system
in operation is the one underncfh

Dear Mr. Cooper:
For reasons bullined below 1
nm hon-with submitting my re-
signation as a member of the As-
sociated Press in South Norwaik,
Conn.
I am aware of the by-laws of
the Associated Press. which pro-
vide for a six months' notice of
withdrawal from membership.
but would appreciate acceptance
of my resignation in thirty days
or as soon thereafter as is pos-
siblc.
The service we_ are now ya-
celvlng from the Associated
Press is an inadequate one and to
increase it would entail an ex-
pcnse which we consider too
large to be assumed by a news-

We have been able to make
advantageous connections which
we believe will furnish us with
speedier and much more com-
piste news coverage.
Our personal associations with
the Associated Press have sl~
ways been of the most pleasant
nature and we feel assured that
your organisation in the future
will continue to be a credit to its

The beating rain and severe wind which swept this part
of the country yesterday, raised havoc in Norwaik, uprooting'
trees, breaking off limbs and tossing them across telephone and:
light wires. puthing 'over telephone poles and even picked several
boats in the local harbor out of the water and deposited them high
and dry on the shores.
Autos Stall
The storm started with a 50-mile
gale yesterday morning and was
augmented by hvaiy min which
whipped by the wind proceeded to
drench Norwulk in fine style. The
rain was so hl-avy that it beat
through the scalp of closed win-
dows and doors. e \vnlcr worked
its way into the engines of many
automobiles Causing them to stall by
the road side.
Cabin Cruisers 0n Flats
Two cabin cruisers anchored in
the upper harbor nvur the Barker
factory were lifted out of the water
up onto the mud flats. Another
boat was heaved out of the water
near the Norwnlk lron Works and
several smaller craft in the lower and
East Norwalk harbors were washed
up on the shore. Many of the small
boats broke away from their anchor-
age, drifted out of the lower harbor
and were found on the shores of the
’Norwaik Islands this morning.
Weather Observer Laura Com-

”Mr. Kildny was braving the lorri-

errant limb missed him when it fell
through the top.
Trains were running behind

the nQernoon and evening. but the
trolley cars managed to run close
to their schedule. Superintendent
Thomas Machan kept a crew of line-
men in readiness to clear the wires.
Several limbs fell across the wires.
A tree was blown down in Westport

did not tie up the service for any
great length of time. ‘A broken
