usunPATIoN OF
 AIDERMANIC FUNCTIONS

z IF eeems clear that the board of Aldermen refused. Monday night. to
 allow the trolley company to do ex- zncflv what Mayor Lee afterward gave <1f permission to do, viz, to lay special york on ten foot centres for a. total fof nearly 1os feet on Main street at tfzoIden Hill street: also, that the xrantine of such permission is not an
 excIussveiy Mayorial function. but
 co5oes under the Jurisdiction of the board of Aldermen, with a Mayorial xixht of veto or approval. The i'm portance or non-importance of the
 chanke to 10 foot centres is not in
 queetdon. nor is the expediency or non e1pediency of the early paving of Main otreef and the early reopening of , Golden HfH. street. however: desirable ofther or both of them may be. Usur-
 pafion of an Aldermanic function is the charge against Mayor Lee. and it's gravity is not lessened by Mayorial ~Gings at the reporters of the Farmer If the Mayor can without question SO usurp Aldermanic.-powe in a matter susceptible of plausible affirmative ar xument, he may also do so upon mat Gers of greater importance when his action might not be susceptible of any supporttng argument. other than the Wishes of corporate interests or party bonses. Some check should be applied before such manifestations of illegal one-man power become chronic and 1rYska1ixed into a custom, having the DnRect of Iinwritten law. Should a Eroo1dent thus usurp Congressional xunct1ons, there would be speedy talk 0f fmpeachment:
 We are not now arguing against '1o f6o<S Seentres's at Main and Golden Hill 1<xeets. they may be desirable or not and if deemed desirable, there is a proper way. and only one. of granting permission for their installation. That proper way was not followed in this case. and there is some danger of the fmuroper way becoming a. precedent Tor future usurpations of Aldermanic functions by Mayors. It is against fhfs danger that the Farmer is argu- Ing. not against ''1o foot centres or the early reopening of Golden Hill street, or the early paving of Main street..
 It might be. and probably is. mad vfeab1e to reopen. the matter of .1O foot centresn and compel a change, but it Is advisable that the board of Alder men should protest against Mayorial txsnrpatipns. lest silence should be in terpreted as condoning the offence and inviting repetitions.

The State Senate has. in accordance with its custom, taken the side of the bis corporations upon the bill to re- move the s5,o0O limit for death dam ages. By vote of 13 to IA, it decided against concurrence with the House upon passage of the bill. It is a pleas ure to record the fact that Senators Arnold and Manwaring of this city voted in favor of the bill, and not a pleasure to mote the further fact that Senator Hofzer was absent.
 The subject-matter really passed the stage Of argument long ago. so long ago as when Judge G. w. Wheeler de- clared. from the Superior court bench the s5,000 limit gross injustice. Since then, public sentiment has solidif1ed in favor of removing the limit until now practically the only opposition comes from corporations which kill men and object to paying the real value of their lives to their families. This opposition has now been given practical and ef fective expression by the Senate.

roo MANY COOKS.

It Is beginning to be apparent that if ever Bridgeport is to have decently paved streets some of the people who are 50 constantly interfering with the making of them must learn to keep { thefr hands off.
 The business of caring for the streets has been a hopeless muddle for a good ~many years. There have always been too nany conflicting authorities and too many confident personages who undertook proceedings of doubtful util- slty to the city without any authority whatever. At present, the Mayor, the Common Council, the Paving Commis- sion, the Director of Public Works, the Street Commissioner and the Connec- ticut Co. are all pulling different ways in the matter of the city streets. The results sof such continual friction and confusion are fast becoming unendur- able; but it Is very difficult to fix; re- sponsibf1ity.
 mo latest case in point is the action of the Connecticut Co. in putting down q curve at Golden Hill and Main streets upon ten foot centers in spite of the fact that the Common Council had refused it permission to lay it's frac1u in this manner only last Mon day evening. Superintendent Chap man of the trolley company declares that the Mayor had given him permis- sion to do this in what proved to be a m1staken anticipation of the favorable action of the council and that the work for the new tracks was already on the ground at the time the council took it's decided stand against any such widening. The Mayor confirms MT. Chapmanss statement and says that he gave the permit in order that the paving of Main street should not be further delayed. It does not appear that this particular track will inflict injury upon any business or property 1ntereet; but the principle upon which the permission was granted is an ob- 5ccffonab1e one. The matter seems one which clearly lay within the prov xnce of the council to determine in con- 1unction with the Mayor and in any

Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska, author of the income tax amendment. believes that the Legislatures of three fourths of the States will indorse the measure. Since Alabama leads the all phabetical list of States he regards its indorsement of the measure as an omen Of success. Ratification by a majority of both houses of the Legis- latures of three-fourths of the States is necessary for the constitutional amendment which will admit of the tax. The junior Senator from Ne braska is forty-six. years old and native of Iowa.

Oficer Ahrend picked up another
Mexican Friday for stealing
bicycle. He gives the name OF
Frank Martinez and had just dis

morning and identified it.
If nothing further is found against
tho Mexican here he will be taken to
Fort Collins to stand trial. This Is
tho second Mexican rounded up this
week for stealing bicycles. Ihe
crime is becoming so prevalent as
to need a special statute somewhat
like the live stock law. When con-

On an average the Southern pays
the city some $50 per month and

$50. Their consumption IL on a
meter basis. and the engineers have
orders not to take water here except
when absolutely necessary. At all
other stations in this vicinity they
are compelled to keep the tank, a
