State Park Sponsors Call for Condemnation of Sherwood Island Land
Fairfield County chamber members endorse condemnation as the only path to securing Sherwood Island for a state park. State Park Realty Association says acquisition by purchase has collapsed after Westport and New Canaan groups pulled back. Negotiations fail over $3,460 to cover a second mortgage, with another $26,400 requested for terms, and officials warn the cost of condemnation may exceed the purchase price of about $80,000.

Papers Missing in Bankrupt Firm Faces $400000 Debt
The Bridgeport Iron and Metal company of Spruce street was adjudged involuntarily bankrupt in U S District Court with debts totaling 400000 and assets of 80000. Testimony by treasurer Edward Goldberg revealed a deficit over 300000 while a Dun's report claimed 160000 in resources above liabilities. Discrepancies were tied to missing office papers hindering verification of the financial statement. Frank C. Stucker was sent to inspect invoices and data to corroborate the Dun's report.
