BRIDGES BLUFFS

Uses His Position 10 Further
Business Interests

Councilman Bridges played a dual
role at the session of the city council
yesterday evening-that of city coun-
Gilman and a member of his firm which
favors the trading stamp concern.
The Chicago store, which is one of
the few business firms to countenance
the trading stamp concern. was repre-
sented by Mr. Bridges. At times it was
hard to determine whether he was a
councilman, or a merchant trying to
further his own interests.
When the ordinance placing license
on the trading stamp concerns was
brought up by Councilman McKean.
who stated that nearly every person in
the city had called him over the tele-
phone regarding the ordinance and
when it had passed its second reading
by title. Mr.. Bridges Immediately be-
gan speaking against it. He said it
was a scheme launched by some of his
competitors who were jealous of the
Chicago store, and it was a conspiracy
upon the part of the opposition.
In his argument Mr.. Bridges used
his position to further the firms inter-
est. He urged the city council to pass
the ordinance at once if they intended
to pass it. He threatened to make a
test case of il, citing that all through
the United States the courts had held
the trading stamp business to be a le-
gitimate proposition.
Many of the councilmen wanted time
TO investigate the matter and confer
with the business men.
Instead of the ordinance going to it's
third reading it was placed on the CAL
eldar. with one dissenting vote, that of
Mr.. Bridges.
