The crowded condition of the harbor made a busy day for Harbor Master Charles H. Morris today. Boats block ed the channel in two or three places. and had to be moved to other quarters to let incoming vessels reach their berths- The serious loss which the eleven acres of harbor win be to the city. which have been given to the New Haven Railroad company, was apparent even to those, who under stand little of the traffic of water and its needs. Standing on the Naugatuck dock the eye could follow the line of the bulkheads which the New Haven road will build and see how large portion of the roadstead will be turn ed into freight yards Not only this. but 1t was evident that the vessels now at anchor in the basin will have to move three=quarters of amiie to the new proposed basin on the East side of the river. which is not spacious enough for the traffic of today and

 It was apparent that to dis ense with the street lighting ap- propriation now or wait until the plant is paid for is a matter of policy.
 The entire debt of the plant is now S57, ,000. The profits for the ed to S1S,O00 and for the year will be close to S24. 4.000-. In its appropriation the city figures S6O per year per arc light.

The rail- road company, for instance, has the streets. They were given to the old Traction Company. then the C.. R. & l.. O.. then to the Connecticut Co. There's not a clause in the charter to protect the city. There is no re- course. They use their privileges to their own advantage. When the bus mess men wanted a grooved rail laid in Main street.

In the end. you had almost to get down on your knees, and even then you had to agree to give them something in return before they consented to give the grooved rail to you
