A sworn statement outlines indebtedness as of June 26 1925, with notes payable and bonded debt, and notes the plan’s success in returning Stratford to sound finances, as cited by the Naugatuck Chamber of Commerce.

Macri Girl to Be Tried Up State
New Haven June 26 The Macri girl accused of slaying John Bagnano and father of her child will be tried in Litchfield county. Judge Booth ruled it the fairest site for a retrial after lengthy arguments by counsel for the defense and the State. Bail was hotly debated with counsel Joseph Koletsky appealing for maternal liberty to visit her infant while the hot summer retrial loomed. State's Attorney Alling denounced Koletsky's appeal as improper while reviewing the first trial's evidence and noting the case rests on eyewitness testimony rather than circumstantial proof. The jury's earlier disagreement is cited as a reason for moving forward to retrial. Shenandoah Trip adds Bayonne jump planned by parachutist Lyman Ford from the dirigible Shenandoah at 9 17 this morning.
