 Year Elected.

The harbor commissioners met at the Union League club last night for their annual election of officers and to dis cuss various changes and improve ments around the harbor. Their talk was largely informal, and had no definite outcome. but will probably re- suit in the recommendation to the gov ernment that certain parts of the lower harbor be improved and navigation aided by the introduction of two new lighthouses. one of these is wanted for the jetty in West Haven and the other for the new channel at City point.
 The election of officers was the prin- ciple business of the evening. Edward Gagel was re- e-elected president Joseph Porter, vice president C A. 1ngersoll, clerk. and Captain E g. Dove, harbor inspector With the addition of vice president, these are tho the same of ficers as last year The other memhere of the commission are George R Mar tin, E. Harris Weaver, Edward P. Avery, and Frank C. Bushnell Their usual meeting place for monthly busi- ness is room 16, city hall
 The need of the lighthouse on the West Haven jetty was explained by one of the commissions as follows Ships coming in from the west ire quently get inside of the jetty and the captains think that they are still in the channels and going into the inside harhor channel The jetty projects out side nearly to the channel ships com ing in through the breakwaters near
