Motorist Commends Cop After Stop Sign Stop
Harold R. Bixler, national chairman of the American Society of Safety Engineers and Bridgeport Chamber executive, was stopped by Patrolman Domenic Costello for running a stop sign at Clinton and Maplewood. Costello gave a safety talk. Bixler later praised the officer in a letter to Superintendent Lyddy and Costello. He said the stop occurred in darkness and he saw a nearby traffic light instead. Costello plans to frame the letter in acknowledgment of duty.
