Startling Information Dug Out of Report Submit
 ted by Engineers.
FACTS HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY HIDDEN
 FROM TAX PAYERS
Expenditure of $1,750,000 Provides for Alleged I'm mediate Necessities-The Cost of Providing for the Future Swells to an AL most Double Amount.

Who has endeavored to give the pub- lie a false impression regarding the cost of remodelling the sewer system Why have the real facts contained in the report of Herring & Fuller, engin- eers, to the city, been kept from the public? The printed copies of the re- port, which were distributed yester- day, show that the estimated cost of the work is $3,O0O,0O0, and not $1.750,O 900. The latter sum represents what the en- gineers claim ought to be done for the present. The total scheme, looking to tho future, calls for the larger sum, nearly twice s great.
 Hence it is that questions were being generally asked today.
 In the report of the Sewer commits sion. which prefaces the report of Her ing & Fuller, it is stated: "The con- structicn of this foundation work will require about five years to complete pense of s350.000 a year. a total of $1,- 750.000. The expenditures of other cit ies which have built modern sewer sys- tems, show an outlay of $25 per capita of population. This would indicate that even an expenditure of s2,500, 900 for the city of Bridgeport would not have been excessive on the basis of our present population of $100, ,00O.'
 In the report of the engineers can be read: We find it will cost approxi- mately $3,000,000 to build the recom- mended works to serve the city when it shall have reached 300 coo in popula- tion. About one and three-quarter million dollars are required within the next five or six years to build the works now needed to correct the pres ent unsatisfactory conditions as to the collection of sewage and rain water and as to the disposal of sewage into shallow water near the outlets
 There are many who believe that.an effort is being made to plunge tie city so deeply into debt for non- -pro- ductive works, that it will not be in a position to take on productive enter prises within the next 20 years. These means of delaying municipal owner ship of public utilities have been fre- quently adopted in other cities.
 Mayor Lee it is understood, will get rid of acting upon the sewer proposi- ton by submitting it to the people. This will take the sewer question out of DOliticS

The caucus of the Republican mem bers of the Board of Aldermen to de- eide upon some action relative to tha disestablishment of the city harbor line. called by Mayor Lee, failed to materialize any formidable strength in favor of the government 1ine which gives away g. large area, of valuable anchorage and harbor surface. It seems that the Mayor called the eau GUS upon the same evening that four of the Republican Aldermen had more pressing engagements and one was i'll.
 Aldermen Bullsrd was in attendancel at the dinner of the Manufacturers' Association at the Stratfield. Alder, man Hartley was confined to his homel With severe cold. Alderman O'Con-' nell had business engagement AL derman Zink was unable to be present, and Alderman Gould was out of the city.
 After a chat with the Mayor. of a little over an hour upon the harbor line question and upon the election of a land indeXer, the gathering broke up without any action being taken. It is understood the majority of the seven Aldermen present were in favor of the government line.
 It is not known whether the Mayor will endeavor to have another caucus before the council meets next Monday night.
 Some of the Republican Aldermen are of the opinion that the board is proceeding in the wrong direction and instead of taking up the matter from the standpoint of disestablishing the present city line they believe the object. should be the establishment of new line. Their foresight leads them to believe that if the city line is abolish ed that the railroad will drive piles along the government line and estab- fish bulkhead through the center of the lower harbor before new line can be established. One Alderman said this morning that the establishment of the new line would abolish the old line and that the Mayors plan of dis establishing the city line is a ruse to leave the harbor without the protec- tion of city line.
 The story was pretty generally cir cuAted yesterday among Republicans that the caucus would be marked byl the absence. upon one pretext or an-{ other, of Aldermen opposed to discon-s tinuing the city line until something is ready to take it's place.

CHARTER TINKERERS ], MUST GET THEIR
 AMENDMENTS IN

The charter revision committee, which will report to the Common Council upon all changes in the char ter which it will recommend for pass age by the General Assembly, will meet for the first time tomorrow night, and those who want changes in the charter and want them to have Alder manic endorsement, will be obliged to get them into the hands of this com mittee.
 The only measure proposed so far which has caused much discussion is the Mayors plan to create a board of public works to be composed of six members with one appointment each year for a term of six years. This would place the control of the board beyond the control of the Mayor in any two wear term. Two Republican Al dermen are said to be opposed to the measure.

 HOUSE LEADER Judge Parker Slated for Head of Committee of
 Interpretations.
Bartlett of Bridgeport for Judiciary; Clark of Bridgeport Not Likely to Land Cities and Bor- oughs - Announcements Tomorrow by Speaker Banks.
(Staff Specially

Hartford, Jan. 13.-Speaker E.. S. Banks is here to-day arranging the final draft of his committees which he will announce at the session of the House tomorrow. The speaker has had conferences with the party mana gers to-day being closeted for some time with State Chairman Kenealy, J. Henry Roraback, Orasmus Fyler, Sem atOrs Brandegee and Bulkeley and oth- CTS. Because of these conferences it is reported that the state Republican machine will have good deal to say about the makeup of the committees.
 Speaker Banks himself is said to have stated that he would not think of making up his committees without con- sulting the party leaders as there are members of the House suited for work on certain committees whose Qualifica- tions are best known to the leaders in their respective localities.
 Out of the conferences have come various rumors some of which may be relied upon. It is accepted now that Judge Parker of Hartford will be chairman of the committee on Incor- porations; that the House Leader will be Judge Charles D. Burnes of Green wich chairman of the Railroad com- mitteed two years ago; that Judge Ma lone, and Representatives Bartlett of this city and Platt of Milford will find a place on the Judiciary committee; that either Scott of Plymouth or Bush of Orange will land the chairmanship of the Cities and Boroughs; that Fuller of Holland will head either the Ap- or Insurance committee; that Chamberlain of New Britain may be chairman of the Appropriations in event of Fuller being placed at the head of the Insurance Committee; that Whiton of New London may be head of the Banks committee: that Hall of Wilmington will be chairman of the Fisheries committee and that County Commissioner Pease of Fairfield will go on either the Roads and Bridges or Humane Institutions or both.

sA
 Rome Jan. lS.-Au of Tuscany and many cities in the northern part of Italy were shaken by quake this morning. The severest shock yet re- ported was at Genoa. where the people fled from their houses in terror and would not return for hours. No serious damage is reported.
 Other cities that felt the shock are Milan in Lombardi. Venice and Padua in Venetia. Florence in Tuscany and Bologna in Emilia
 The quake is believed to have had a wider radius than that which devas- tated Sicily and Calabria. Uneasiness is feIs for the more remote cities from which no word has yet been received.
 There are still no accounts of deaths, but the details are still the most mea- gre. The latest reports show that the damage was confined to the collapse of a few houses and the cracking of the walls.
