Leon Karch, who described
himself as a newcomer to Shelton,
appeared at the Shelton City
Commission meeting Tuesday to
express his views on indicents he
had observed.
He stated that one night over
the weekend as he and some other
people were returning to Shelton,
they observed a fight in progress
in front of a local tavern, and,
that when they reported the
matter to the police department,
they discovered the number of
men on duty was, they believed,
inadequate to handle the number
of people involved in the incident.
Karch said he had also
observed the same type of
incident happening during Forest
Festival.
He asked if more policemen
could be hired, or, if the license
of the taverns which were
involved in incidents of this type
could not be revoked.
Mayor Frank Travis told
Karch that while the city did not
condone incidents of this nature,
and, did its best to keep them
from happening, they did occur.
Whenever violations of the
law occured, there was
