Mur—‘ The Bassetts were on their way home from Momauguin where they had spent the day, at the time of the accident. They were proceeding leisurely when the Chalmers machine, a negro at the wheel, passd them at high speed the driver turning in in such fashion that the rear wheel of his auto came in contact with the front wheel of the Ford. The Bas- sett car was whirled around, the front ramming a pole on the roadside. The wind shield was smashed and the radiator stove in. Both Mr. Bassett and his wife managed to remain in the car but they were thrown against the sides by the impact, sustaining pain- ful contusions about the knees Without stopping to learn what damage had been caused the negro increased the speed of his machine and was soon lost in the dust. e fore he vanished, however, witnesses secured the number of his car. The Bassett car was towed to garage in New Haven and after pairs were made they managed drive home. According to East Haven people the negro chauffeur, who the Bassetts claims was responsible for the acei- dent, is a reckless driver and has been in mix-ups before. The case has been reported to the police of that and it is expected the negro will be brought into court for evading respon- sibility.

He argued that the need of a regu- lar policeman is emphasized alm Wt every night at Central Square and that much of the trouble which is | now causing complaints galore could | | be eliminated by the mere presence | of an intelligent uniformed officer on | | the street. The constables, in his opinion, are practically useless under the arrangement now in force. Justice Condell is among thoge who believe that a mistake was made when the voters decided to get along with- | out having an officer on duty regu- larly. Selectman Johnson is alsg said | to be in favor of having a man ap- | pointed. Under the law he has the | authority to name someone to serve every night, but as the expressed wish of the voters, which has never official- Iy been changed, the town prefers to keep its police appropriation limited to such an extent that paying a salap ¥ of from $800 to $1,000 a year for bluecoats is out of the question.
