BONDS RECOMMENDED FOR
 NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Bonding for Wilmot Avenue Sewer Also Suggested-Of
 flee of Deputy Tax Collector Proposed

The City Auditor concluded his re- port to the Board of Apportionment and Taxation, this morning, recom- mending a tax of six and six-tenths mills in the First district and a tax of eight and nine-tenths mills in the Sec ond district, making a. total tax rate for both districts of fifteen and five tenths mills. This is one-tenth mill less than the rate of last year, but the city expenditures provided for are about $62, 900 greater. the grand list having increased over the list of 1907 by 4,00O, GOO.
 The auditors report is exceedingly radical in parts. It's opening pages are devoted to a denunciation of bond issues, because every bond issue means so much more drawn from the resources of the city"
 The auditor says, by way of illustra- tion, that the Congress street bridge bond issue of 1850. 900 requires annual payments of $1O,0O0 for principal and $13, 400 for interest, making $23, 400 in all.
 Nevertheless, he recommends bonding for the Wilmot street sewer, and also to build a new High school, whenever such a building shall be decided upon.
 In one portion of his report the audi tor enters into a scathing criticism of the methods adopted by the fire board in adding a large number of perna- nent men to the department.
 In another portion he recommends an appropriation for supply of water under the 20 year contract. The audi tor was member of the committee which made the contract.
 He devotes several pages to empha- sizing the idea that the collector of taxes should be a collector rather than a receiver He shows that there is a total of taxes and assess ments due the city on past lists of $29O, 121.55. After complimenting Tax Collector Donnelly upon his effort to collect these back taxes, the auditor says that the office of deputy tax col lector should be created and that it should be the duty of the collector so created to go personally to delinquents. The auditor says that the present force in the office of the tax collector is in adequate. -
 The auditor recommends five new men for the police department, instead of the 15 asked for by the Police board. He recognizes the validity of the ordi- dance passed by the Common Council increasing the pay of patrOlmen, and says that 'even should the result of the suit now pending in the Supreme court be adverse to the men, they will nevertheless receive the same fair treatment already accorded to the of ficers of the force"
 The auditor recommends BPS, 900 to be expended for permanent pavement as
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-01-25

the proper authorities may think best" He suggests that the asphalt in Main street, between East Washingto ton avenue and State street, should be re- placed with a better pavement. Also that Golden Hill street. when widened, should be paved from Main to Water streets He suggests that work on these pavementS be commenced in ear- ly spring, and the assessments subse- quently collected used to make exten- Sions.
 It is somewhat difficult to determine from the portion of the report relating to sewers, what is the auditors atti- tude toward the great scheme of sewer extension recommended by Herring & Fuller, whose plans are now pending before the Common Council. It is evident however, that the auditor fa- vOrs carrying it out through a bond issue,, rather than on a year to year plan. He says: "Our city cannot hope to plan and carry to completion an elaborate and costly system Of sewer age from the avails of current taxes, and the only alternative is a bond is- sue''
 He favors planning out the entire system of the Wilmot avenue sewer and it's laterals: the immediate comple- tion of the system so planned, with money raised by a bond issue; the collection of benefits and the use of the money so collected for extensions.
 An appropriation of g, 1000 for medical inspection Of schools and pupils and $150O for the services of a bacteriolog- ist is favored. At the same time the auditor states it to be his opinion that free text books are a source of con- tagion. He believes that books should be given to the needy children. Oth- CTS should purchase their own books.
 The report points out that the schools call for the largest single appropria- tion, or S320, ,162. 50, and the proceeds of one mill tax additional for new school buildings. It is estimated that the tax will raise s78,90O, which the au- ditor believes will soon increase to sum sufficient to enable the erection of two school buildings in year.
 It is at this point that the auditor reaches the conclusion that a High school is Gin a separate class from pri- mary schools. and that it should be a. much better and more expensive building, and should be paid for by the proceeds of 50 year bonds.
 Tn conclusion. a sum sufficient to meet the deficit in the Charities de- partment is recommended. The ap- plication of up to date business meth ods to the conduct of the Charities de- partment is advised.
 The total amount recommended for the First district is s742, 2,415.75. The estimated revenue from sources out side of taxation is s221 800, which leaves s521, ,115 to be raised by taxation.
 The Second district appropriations call for $731, ,5S7.54.

additional men by the Board of Ap- Iortionment a year ago, and we ap- pointed the men on April 1st, 1908.
 eff MT. Heating had followed mat ters a little closer he will see that the department is smaller this year than number of callmen in order to add per manent men. There are only 158 men in the Fire department today, while there were 169 year ago.
 we used this money, and the money we had for a captain at No. En- zine Company and for a lieutenant on No. truck, and added 19 men. We have only Il men in companies where there are callmen, and ten men in companies which are composed wholly of permanent men. A full company quota is twelve.
 'The statement that we have in- creased the fixed expense of the city $2O,0o is not correct. The auditor is a little off on his figures there. As a matter of fact the increase is about SIP, GOO. This is about the average amount that the salaries have increas- ed for several years, and which has been allowed by the Board of Appor- tionment."
 AS for the legality of the appoint said if the commission had not been within it's rights it would not have made the appointments.
 He was of the opinion that the audi tor had not calculated that there were number of men in the department who would receive $100 more this year than they received last year by virtue of their passing into another grade.
 Outside the increase in the payroll, President Bullard stated the fire conl- mission was not asking for more than s15, 900 more in connection with it's reg ular appropriation, than it did last year. He added that although the special budget included many things the department needed and asked for twas no sign that they would be al- lowed this year by the board of ap- portionment. Further, he did not care the requests in the special budget were granted or not. They were there for the tax boards consid- eration.

GRAND LIST INCREASES &,8l5,546
 RECOMMENDED TAX RATE IS 155 MILLS
DWELLING HOUSES BEAR GREAT
 PROPORTION OF TAX BURDEN
Forty Seventy -ninths City's Entire Revenues
 From Taxation Will Be Raised on Homes

The grand list for 1908, as prepared by the Board of Assessors and made public today, is $79,6 ,112, of which 44,048, 1887 is the value of dwelling house property.
 Dwelling house owners and store owners will have to stand the gaff of the increase. which approaches the five million mark and is the largest boost that values of taxable property here have received since the system of tax ing property at it's full value went into effect.
 A member of the Board of Assessors said this morning that some of the in creases may not compare favorably with other property, this year, but that it is impossible to bring about an equit- able adjustment of values in one year.
 Dwelling house owners will pay taxes on $1,S2S256 more than last year; mer- chants, owning stores, will pay on 3D. 044,SS7 more than last year; and those having investments in manufacturing industries will pay on $946,531 more than they paid a year ago. Owners of mills and manufactures are valued $8,- 588 less.
 of the grand lists of 1907 and 1908 and by glancing over it one may see the sort of property which has received in- crease under the Mayors plan of equal ization. The table:

ALDERMEN SEEK
 TO END CONTRACT
Malodorous. Twenty . Year Instrument Considered by
 Miscellaneous Committee.

At a meeting of the Miscellaneous
 committee of the Common Council, held Saturday night, it was voted to
 report favorably upon the resolution offered by Alderman McMurray at the last session of the council. requesting the Board of ortionment and Tax ation not to appropriate any money this year to pay the Bridgeport Fly draulic Co. for water used for fire and other purposes. At the last meeting of the Common Council, Alderman Me Murray stated that the Hydraulic Go. was obliged to furnish the city with water free under it's charter. He re- ferred to the opinion of the city attor- ney that the only way to make the Hydraulic Go. live up to it's charter was to terminate the 20 year water contract, which is non-effective any year the city refuses to appropriate the $12,O0O the city pays for the privil- ege of attaching it's hydrants to the water mains. The Aldermen who vot- ed to recommend that the tax board refrain from appropriating the money were Aldermen Zink, Bertilson and Griffin Aldermen Thomas and Brock were absent. but it is understood they will sign the committees report.

 CONGRESSMAN
fsneo;a1 from IJnited Press


 Washington, Jan. 25.-A resolution lauding John R. Binn, the wireless op- orator on the liner Republic, was in- troduced in the House to-day by Rep resentative Boutell, Republican, H. linois) It was followed by great ap- plause.
 The Chicago Congressman arose at the opening of the seAeion and asked unanimous consent to address the House. It was given. The last two days, he said, had demonstrated the peril of those who go to sea. He re- ferrred to the Republic and Florida disaster.
 ''There was one silent actor" he con- t1nued, whose name ought to be inn mort alized. He was the Marconi wireless operator named John R. Binn. He is 25 years of age and most gen. erally known as Jack Binn. Speaker Cannon will probably remember him, the operator on the Butcher, on which the Speaker, MT. Herman and other members of the House made a trip to South America
 Jack Binn was promoted to the charge of a large station in Ireland Bay but his love for the sea soon brought him here again. Binn calmly sending his messages to the world, has given the world splendid exhibition of heroism and the perils of those who go to sea-

 FREE FROM DEBT
Fine Showing Made by Pastor of St' Mary's, Derby, Who Was a
 Bridgeport Boy.

Rev. Father Robert Fitzgerald, a Bridgeport boy who is the pastor of St. Mary's church of Derby, has met with wonderful success since entering upon his duties there, 32 months ago.

 Since he has been in charge of the parish he has handled $72,O00. At the services, held yesterday, Father F'itz- gerald asked each one of his parishion- CTS to contribute $1 toward the liquida- ton of the church debt during the cur rent month, as it was his hope to see the parish free from all debt by Feb. 1.
