BRIDGEPORT.

There seemed to be general satisfaction
on all sides in regard TO the action OF Coun-
Gil Friday evening. on the street car orul-
nance. Nearly all realize what great
benefit il will be to the town, taking IN the
residents along the road midway between
here and Bellaire. These people have sur
fered greatly, especially during the past
winter, for some mode or conveyance 10
town. They had access 10 the Terry, out
but the ferry has been very Irregular on &C
count of the icy condition OF the river,
hence they were compelled 10 endure
great deal OF hardship in getting WITHIN
reach OF a town. The ordinance compeHs
the company to have cars running WITHIN
twelve months after it has been passed, or
else forfeit their right of way. So we can
feel pretty confident of having portion OF
the road, if not all, in operation before an
other winter comes. =,
