 The unexpected postponement oi action on the veto of Mayor Lee or the proposed increase of firemen'g salaries was surprise to most oi the spectators as well as to the cit fathers themselves at the opening ses sion of the new common council.
 Postponement was taken at the in stance of Alderman Gould. He has been regarded as favorable to the proposed increase. He made the point that inasmuch as there had been considerable agitation within the fortnight 1t might be proper tc give the matter further investigation especially since a few weeks post. ence to the firemen. The proposed increase could not take effect. he argued. until April 1 in any event He made a motion that the com munication or Mayor Lee, which had not been read, be laid over two weeks Alderman Gould discussing the agitation said only two constituents hl C approached him on the matter. enc of them rather indefinitely seek ing his opinion. and the other defin. itely stating his objections Late yes terday he had received from body with apparently reliable credentials tTaX Payers League) a communica- ton relative to the question, but he had not had time to ascertain wheth- CT the organization represented his constituency.

 why only 26 were included in the lisl published by the league to show Brfdgeport's proposed salaries to b' above the average
