GROOVED RAILS! WHO SAID SO?
Oh Yes, to be Sure There is a Groove,
 But-
Special BniIt Rail for Purpose of Alp. peasement to Bridgeport Only, is Being Laid in Main Street

Railroad men who have been in the contracting and railroad business for years are smiling when they discuss the grooved rail situation in Bridge port One man who has been in the railroad business for years said today that it was amusing to see how every one of the wfseacres who was shouting for grooved rails a few months ago were apparently pleased with the kind of tracks the street railroad company had laid between Golden Hill street and East Washington avenue in Main street.
 He declared that he was most sur prised to find that MT. Samuel H. Wheeler and the business men who had demanded "grooved rails" like they had seen in other cities had not seen to 1t that they got the kind or rails they had in mind.
 The railroad man who made this statement did not care to have his name used because of the position he holds. A Farmer reporter asked him what kind of a rail had been laid in Bridgeport. He replied: Why. it is a heavy T rain with a flange or ear groove when laid The rail laid here is undoubtedly a specially rolled bit or steel for Bridgeport only
 The -grooved rail that Is best known in this country is called the Trilby' rail. and you can form a pretty good idea what it is like by looking at the. grooves in the tracks of the special work in Main street at Golden Hill street This track is grooved with a narrow slot to carry the f1ange Of the wheels and to prevent the wheels of heavy vehicles from being caught in it.
 For wagon traffic the rails as laid in Fairfield avenue between Main TxT u4- fa nr Hanged rails laid later in Main street north of Golden Hill street. The flange which protrudes from the side of the rafl is much lower than the bed of the rail and although 1t makes groove the slot Is so broad and deep that it can fill up with dirt. but as for taking the lip of the wheel the groove might as well be on a tree somewhere Just take look at the way the new tracks have worn since cars have been run over them. The wear is only on the bed or top of the rail where 1t Is on a T rail and where the company wants the wear to come.
 There is still a rut there for heavy trucks to get caught in and a man with light buggy traversing 1t can lose a wheel easier than if 1T rails were being travelled.
 But 1t is one kind Of a grooved rail- however. and as no specification other than 'grooved rail' was in the earn barn contract between, the city and the railroad suppose the railroad can get by as having made good their ness men who shouted loudest for the grooved rail cannot claim they won out with the kind of grooved rails they wanted, for don't believe they ever saw grooved rails before like those the company laid in Main street
 '-It is apparent that whoever the merchants had looking out for their interests in the grooved rail matter did not know what is considered a gTooved track in New York. Philadelphia or Springfield, Mass"

John I. King Mentioned as a Possible Successor to Present Republican
 Town Chairman.
DELANEY ALSO MENTIONED

The bridge didn't carry the Republi- can machine safe over. therefore they are preparing a new bridge. Dele convention have already been ap- preached to see how they will stand on a proposition to supersede Town Chairman Matthew IT. Rogers, who Is the scapegoat of the big defeat Rog- CTS said Lee could win. He was 304s votes wrong. For this reason. and be- cause he is claimed to be unpopular by many Republican workers. Rog- CTS may be thrown overheard.
 If he is saved 1t will not be upon his merits. but as a pawn in the great contest for the United States Senator ship. now waging between George P. Mclean and Morgan G. Bulkeley.
 John IT. King, who. is perhaps the most mentioned aspirant for successor to Rogers. is a Mclean man It Bridgeport If King should be elevated to the most important post in the Re- publican organization In Bridgeport.
 Alexander F. Delaney. who Is prose cutor in the City court. is also men, tioned to succeed Rogers
 King has at least one tactical ad- in that the time when the shall be called together Is said to be in the hands of the chair man, Malcolm MacFayden. who affil- iates with the young Republicans.
 Under the rules of the Republican the town chairman -usu- ally calls the convention This power was lost to MT. Rogers through a mo- ton adopted by the convention after 1t had concluded the work of its last The motion provided that it be reconvened by the "order of the chair" Mir.

Big Railroad Job.

Contractors have begun operations near Brookfeld Junction upon a job that is to make a complete change of location of two miles or more of the Berkshire division track between Brookheld Junction and Hawleyville. The work will require about seven months for completion. It will include the construction of a mile of entirely new roadbe5 and the abolition of three dangerous grade crossings. When the changes are completed the Berkshire division track will cut almost directly scross from Brookfield Junction to the Highland division tracks and the Berk- shire trains will run over the High land division tracks from this point An that section of the Berkshire. d. vision tracks between Brookheld June ton and Hawleyville. now running parallel with the Highland divisions, will be abandoned Two of the eros sings to be done away with are on the Berkshire division, between Brook field Junction and Hawleyyille and one Is on the line between Danbury and of Berkshire division roadbed between Brookheld Junction and the new loca- ton of Hawleyville Junction will be constructed for two tracks. although but one track will be laid there for the present.

 Plenty of Game Birds.
 There is plenty of game.

Shelton hunters are bringing in good bags of game daily. but all unite In saying that the weather remains too warm for com fort in hunting. The birds. too. are still widely scattered, and In the open fields instead of being concentrated in the runs and swales, as will be the case as the weather grows colder. The birds are somewhat wild, at present and require good deal of hunting. but all reports say that there never were so many woodcock. Quail do not seem so abundant. though a number of flocks have been found while par fridge are very plentiful
