State Commissioner w, H. Cor bin Says Habit of Saving Is Gaining Ground in Con
 necticut.
FIGURES ARE MADE PUBLIC
Building and Loan Commissioner Re ports That There Was a Net Increase of S93,972.52
 Last Year.

New Britain. Dec. 21.-The report of w. II, Corbin, state building and loan commissioner for the year end ing September 30, shows that the year started with fourteen building and loan associations in the state. Dur ing the year one association, the Merl- den Mutual, went out of existence and one more, the Stamford Building and Loan association will have ceased to exist by the end of 1907,
 In spite of the acute financial de- pression of the past year the assets of the associations show a net Increase of $93,972.59, the total assets amount ing to s1.S9S, ,S29,9s. The number of shares issued during the year showed ain increase of l799 1-2
 There was decrease In the value of real estate owned of S2,24793 and but one property remains In the hands of the association The real estate loans increased s7724S,S7.
 Of all the associations eight showed an increase in assets and five losses. The greatest increase was made by the Meriden Permanent Building and Loan association, $75,2S2.ST while the aggregate losses of the five assOcia- tions showed a decrease of 47,3S9.$l
 In speaking of the years work Mr. Corbin says: Without doubt the past year has been unusually hard for the wage earner and it has been much more difficult to save than when busi- mess conditions were more favorable, yet the position of our building and loan associations shows that the very commendahle habit Of saving Is gain ing ground and it is due to this fact that the associations have made so satisfactory a record under prevailing conditions
 The mortgage investment companies of the state and their assets at the end of September 30, were as follows:
 Bridgeport Land and Title company Bridgeport, assets, s3S9,973,02

COUNCIL MAY Be Q'NET
Orators Absent from the City May
Leave Others Alone to
Do Work.

With the two leading contPorersialists
of the council out of the city, this
evenings session OF the municipal law
makers promises to be one devoid of
incident except the regular run Of
routine matter. The two members thus
absent who might start something
are Messrs. Fernstrom and Stewart,
each a star in his own particular style
of oratory. And though usually arr
rayed on different sides Of most ques-
tions.the argumentative efforts of these
two learned seignors is none the less
interesting and picturesque.
If Nh. Fernstrom returns in time to
attend council meeting this evening. he

IRON the meetings of the author Of
the proposed ordinance for the regula-
ton of such dispensaries as are claim
ed to be breWery-owned. The licenses
of these saloons have been held up
pending investigation into the charges
The license committee of the council
has visited the saloons in question,
and has found that while the breweries
hold mortgages on the fixtures of the
saloons, they claim they are not active
in their control. And unless Mr.
Fernstrom strongly takes up cudgei>
against that behalf tonight. it is
probable the licenses OF the held
up % will be renewed
The matter of paving Fourth and
Seventh East streets with asphalt
with parking in the center of the
street, in a similar manner to that in
which Sixth East street Is paved at
present is expected to come up tonight
The parked plat in the center of the
street is "a feet wide. making the to-
tai width of the street between curbs

Last Monday nights council session
was record breaker. Only one hour
was consumed In getting through the
business for the week Neither Mr..
Fernstrom nor Mr. Stewart was pres

as eventful.

ERIE ROUTE SHORTENED.

New York, Oct. 21.-The first freight
trains was operated today over the So
called Guymard cutoff, of the Erie
railroad, on the New York division
The GLymard line has been under con-
struciion for three years and Is one OF
tie largest and most expensive changes
c. lire undertaken In the east. The
Erie has a heavy grade over the
Shawangunk mountains eastbound out
of Pert Jervs and lighter but very
noticeable one westbound. In order to
reduce operating expenses and to pro-
vide for a greatly increased capacity
for the New York division, the new line
was built.
X When completed it will be 40 miles
in length, 10 miles being ready for use:
To-Day. from Guymard to Howels. On
this section is the 6,000-foot double
tracked tunnel, the second on the Fries
main line, the only other one being!
the Jersey City tunnel, which will be
eliminated so far as passenger traffic
is concerned when the Bergen cut is
completed.
1t is expected that the entire Guy
mard line will be in use by Jan. l.
and then 10 locomtives will be able to
haul as many cars between Port Jer-
Wis and Jersey City as 80 do at the
present time.
The construction of this line has re-
{Guited the removal of an average of
10,OGG cubic feet of material to the mile.
the boring OF the 6000-foot tunnel. and
the construction of a steel viaduct over
McoGna creek, 5000 feet long, and 1913
feet high Another yiaduct 500 feet In
length and ~ In height carries the line
over Bonny brook.
The difference In the two lines is
made especially apparent by looking at
the grade line. the new tracks being
1Sl feet lower than the old line. 1T Is
nos expected that the Guymard line will
BE- used for passenger service but de-
ycre,l entirely to freight. With the
completion of this work ami the con-
meeting up of some short stretches in
the near future the Erie will have four
