Judgc Roraback and Brcwcries.

T want ts say right now that If the breweries are going to run the city by proxy we want to know all About 1t. We want to know who the proxies are.' That wss the statement made by Judge Roraback in the superior court In Bridgeport, when George T KeAey's appeal from the county commissioners had q hearing, says the Bridgeport Farmer. Kelley and some of the other residents in the North End objected to the application of Frank Higgins, who wanted to open a saloon in North Washington avenue. The commission CTS granted the license, so the remon- strants took the matter to the superior court.
 Higgins, who is a resident of New Haven, admitted that he did not intend to conduct the saloon himself but that the place would really be run by tho Weidemann Brewing NCo. of New Ha- ven. This caused Judge Roraback to make his remark about the breweries.
 You haven't gone into that, MT. Banks" the court said to the counsel for the remonstrants T shall give you the opportunity If you desire"
 Higgins then admitted that he was not going to run the place, but intend- ed to install a manager. Rocco Pater- no of New Haven was to be the man ager. Higgins said Frederick B. Fal- lon owned the building. He didn't know whether the brewery held the lease or not, But he knew that the brewery was going to conduct the splace.
