The moving of the streets in question will be a difficult matter, it is believed, because the Connecticut Co. trolley line runs along them and this will also have to be shifted. On the north side |of Pine street, it is said that the {corner house and the Bowen place jrext to it will have to be removed, while the Woodford und Mechan | houses, located on the southern corners of the street intersection, will suffer a similar fate. These changes are made necessary because of the plan to clevate the road across the trag This will re- sult in runways at both sides, and, while there is no difficulty in the way of this on the north, the proxi- mity of Pine strect on the south {forms an obstacle which makes the task a hard ene.

Di missing stockbroker who was arrested by the Stamford police last night es he waited near his former home in Forest Lawn avenue for his wife, will be brought back to this city today to stand trial on an em- bezzlement charge. Detectives left for Stamford this morning to get Diaz, and when he is returned to this city, Assistant City Attorney Daniel Pouzzner plans to ask a bond of $20,000 for his free- dom. ‘When placed under arrest, Dlaz protested his innocence of any wring. He said he was working as a stockbroker in New York and that his record here was unblemished. The warrant on which Diaz was sought charges him with swindling Addie L. Currie of 78 Lake Place out of $2,040, which the woman paid him for preferred and common {stock of the Industrial Mortgage company. Diaz, according to the warrant, told the woman that he was an ac- credited agent of Sawyer, Fiske & pencer of Boston who were -quali- fied to traffic in the securities of the Mortgage company. The warrant further charges that Diaz was not a representative of the Boston house nor was the Boston house handling the mortgage com- pany stock. Other complaints against Diaz in this city aggregate $55,000. Other persons in Washington, Connecticut, Meriden, Stamford and Jacksonville, Fla.,, are reputed to have lost money paid to Diaz for stocks. The majority of the persons who claim to have been swindled were also losers in the crash of the W. B. Goodrich brokerage. Goodrich is now serving a sen- tence for his alleged defalcations. Diaz is believed to have secured a list of Goodrich's victims and to have sought out the same persons as his customers, Noted Writer Seeking Milwaukee, Jan. 18 (R —A Mil- waukee author and poet whose iden- tity is conccaled under the name Mr. Schmidt” has undergone a re- juvenation operation to “bring back lagging mental powers,” his surgeon, Dr. Lewis J.

Raymond {Crumb. The state, during the pres- ient year, is to appropriate the sum of $40,000 for Bristol's quota of the |state highway fund and this amount, with the city's appropriation of $10,- 000 will be almost sufficient to carry out the proposed plans, W. E. Huitz, state supervisor of the highway de- partment, has conferred with Mayor Crumb feveral times and estimates are now being prepared by his de- partment to cover the work. If the new highway is built, a di- rect route between Waterbury and Hartford will be afforded. Last fall the state highway department com- pleted the' new state road from the Bristol town line to Farmington and the highway from the Bristol-Farm- ington town line to the railroad crossing known as “Doolittle’s” in this city is a state aid road. Many autoists of this city now use this route going to Hartford and there- by save approximately five miles. Be- fore the new road east of the Bristol town line was completed, it was necessary to travel through Forest- ville and Plainville, { Just as soon as estimatse are fur- nished by the highway department, !t is understood that bids will be |solicited and the contract awarded. Sinking Fund Recommended In a letter addressed to the mayos and city council, Treasurer George S.

It was his suggestion that the council appropriate each year the sum of $13,000 to be deposited in savings banks or invested at the di- rection of the finance board. If this is done the entire bond issue of $600,000 can be taken up at matu- rity in 1952. A motion of Councilman Homer H. Judd, the communication was tabled and will be discussed { considered.
