L — 3 PUBLIC GOLF LINKS FUND UNAVAILABLE Park Board Inquires Into Clanse in Hawley Will Although it was thought by the [park commissioners at a meeting last night that the board might ob- ain & public golf course fund hrough the will of Benjamin A. Hawley, the idea was exploded to- day - when it was learned that a vonan who has the life use of the und is alive and in good health. udge William F. Mangan, chair- an of the commission, instructed Bupt. Ellingwood to interview Cor- poration Counsel Kirkham to dis- cuss the terms of the Hawley will. William Jarvis, a laborer at the Btanley Quarter park, broke a leg n an accident on January 31. He has been paid full time for two eeks. and the board assumed his ill. He will be paid half time un- il able to return to work. Nutmegs-Rangers Dispute Dropped The dispute aver payment for the thletic field at Willow Brook park ctween the Nutmegs and the Ran- ers was disposed of after two years, In 1927 the board had a rul- ng that the charge for the use of he parks would be $75 for profcs- ional teams and 10 per cent of the ate receipts for amateurs. The Nut. negs, being professionals and pay- ng the 375 fec, were given the Lhoice of the best dates. There came a day when the Ran- ers had a date upon which the Nutmegs wanted to play. The board fould make no change so the Nut- negs bought off the Rangers for 425, playing a professional game pn the Ranger date. The agreement vas that the Rangers assume all re- iponsibility. The Rangers, accord- ngly, paid $42.50 to the park board, eaving & difference of $32.50 in dis- pute. It was the opinion of the com- laxioners that it was not worth rolonging the controversy and the poard voted to drop the issue, Upon recommendation of Super- ntendent Ellingwood it was voted 0 purchase six rain coats to be jsed by men when working out- oors in stormy weather, There was no mention in the min- tes of the previous meeting of the quest by Superintenednt KN vood that he be considered for an ne m salary. The request was enied by the board, although Chair- nan Mangan told the bhoard of mance and taxation that in his opin- pn the superintendent should re- cive more salary.

He instrncted Superintendent flingwood to inferview Judge Kirk- am today concerning the status of running expense, providing the eity of New Britain, within one year after the death of my aunt, or within one ' year after my death in the event my aunt should predecease me, will pay to the executor of my estate here- inafter named the sum of two thou- sand ($2,000) dollars as reimburse- ment for the. time, trouble. expense and inconvenience to which 1 have been put in the so-called Naples case, and which time, trouble, ex- pense and inconvenience in my opinion, has been due to the mis- management of that case by the city of New Britain, If the two thousand ($2,000) dollars is not paid by the city of New Britain to my executor within one year after the deéath of my aunt or within one year my death in the event my aunt should predecease me, then the twenty thousand ($20.000) dollars is to go to the Newington Home for Crippled Children. If the two thou- | sand ($2,000) dollars is paid by the city of New Britain to my executor, then I direct my executor to pay that two thousand ($2,000) dollars to the Childrens’ Home Association of New Britain, Connecticut. ‘FIXER’ TELLS OF HUGE BRIBE FUND Getzol"s Alleged Confession Puts.
