ing and to impeach the loyalty to city interests of those who accept them What has Bridgeport received fo~ prev ious extensions outward of the harbor line? Less even than for the last extension which gives away eleven acres Of harbor area valued at s25O COO a few gcooved rails on Main street and the temporary use of a garden patch of water front between Congress street and Stratford avenue for park purposes"
 Should the water area between Stee- piectase Island and the present Fed eral harbor line come under corporate control, Bridgeport could gain little from the coming inland waterway from Maine to Florida. It's harbor would be practically but a narrow channel, with slight anchorage faciii- ties and with the dock frontage on both sides mostly owned by the rail- road.
 What may be desired by the trolley company, we do not know. Ii may be ten feet centres throue hout the city authority for the installation of which at Main and Golden Hill streets was granted by Mayor Lee without the consent of the Aldermanic board which has jurisdiction of such matters, than Which grosser usurpation of legisla- tive rower by the executive depart ment has never been perpetrated, or even attempted, in Bridgeport. Ten feet centres mean less space between rails and curbs; Bridgeport's streets are mostly narrow, and a decrease Of space for street traffic might necessi- tate either the narrowing of side walks or their maintenance at present width by adding slices of private prop. erty to them

POSSIBILITIES OF MORE ALONG
 THE SAME LINE,'

SurmiSe is active as to what more the railroad can desire either for itself O. it's subsidiary, the trolley company, from the dead easy city of Bridge port. That something more is de- sired, or the way made easy for some thing in the future which is not yet decided upon, seems to be a current belief. and the mind of the average citizen is laboring earnestly to, find that as yet intangible something. Until recently, it had been quite gen. eraily believed that all possibilities of damage to the city's hdignity, appear ance, safety, commerce, etc, had al- ready been exhausted, but this seems not to be the fact, or we had not been told by one of the local Republican organs that Mayor Lee should be given another two-year term in order that he may do more along the same line.'' It had been hoped, and even believed, that Bridgeport's troubles at the hands of the big corporations were ended by an exhaustion of opportunities, but evil dently there's more and perchance worse; to come. What can it. be?
 Does the road desire another slice of harbor area? Is it true, as rumored, that the road covets Steeplechase Is- land, not for continued use as a sum- mer pleasure resort and the increased profit of the troAey line, but as basis for building out therefrom to the har- bor line and using the island and the thus acquired area. for a freight yard?
 Does the road wish to retain the en- tire Naugatuck dock, instead of re- moving it as was promised but not performed on previous occasions and as is provided for by the present rail- road government harbor line, acquies- cence in which has been secured from the dead easy city with the aid of a .complaisant Mayor and an Aldermanic majority secured under significant and as yet unexplained conditions?
 Or is an almost entire closure of the flarbor in contemplation? It is a well established fact that throughout the country, railroad policy dictates the curtailment of navigation facilities in order to prevent material water com petition in freight rates. Dockage along the Mississippi River from St. Louis to New Orleans is mostly under rail
 
 the great river has dwindled to almost the vanishing point. California, O. rather. some of it's cities. is fighting hard to regain control of needed water frontage which has been acquired by railroads, through lethargy of the peo- pie or with the connivance of unfaith- fuI municipal officials. Similar con- 3itions prevail wherever water naviga- ton may compel, or may be made to compel, reasonable freight rates by the railroads. There is one monumental exception. New York city which. de- spite the alleged corruption of Tam many, still controls her dock frontage. for not even Boss Tweed with his noted What are you going to do about ft'' dared to self these rights. He might have sold them. and possibly have contented himself with rake off'', the city receiving the bulk of the proceeds.
 Here in Bridgeport we give away harbo- area, or accept payment in con- sessions so slight as to be really insult

That made from the jar reserved for

there is no question and therefore l was surprised

comment on The Call:
It has seized upon the straw ballot of the good

does not want the good government league to "in-

how II expects the direct primary to be of any eff
