Al efecto han saldo dos estudian.

Los estudiantes haran constar en
el plano todos los pantanos que haya
en- aquella area, claslflcandolos Sc

Los pantanos que admltan drena-

En- aquellos que no admitan dire

de peces de los que sc alimentan cor
las larvas de los mosquitoes.

BUCKINGHAM'S VICTORY COMPLETE
 DEMOCRATS WILL CONTROL COUNCIL
THE LESSON OF THE ELECTION

The lesson of the election is easy to read The people demand of those whom they elect to office that has gone by m Bridgeport when very small number of men. entrenched in public privileges of various knds control the municipal government to their great profit. They may continue to tempt the servants of the people to do wrong but the eyes of the freemen opened, and the wrongdoerS longer be protected from the punishment that is just ly their due.
 How often must the lesson be relearned? The 20 water contract deprived mayor of the honor able renomination which he would undoubtedly other wise have received of his party. Where are the politicians who induced to particinate in that instrument of ignominy? Where the snows of yesterday2
 And so the Harbor Grab and the Car Barn Sur re1sdef--e=e turned what might have been only de- into disgracefu rout in which the innocent have suffered with the guilty. That these things that done were done in the name of the Republican party but without the approval of the real Republican the little group of corporations and politicians who have temporarily seized its power-the Farmer has ever insisted, and the election proves.
 The past is the past. The duty of the Democratic party and of Mir. Buckingham, the chosen leader of the people, IS plain. Every pledge made to the people in the platform of the party in the speeches of Mr. Buckingham, must be faithfully kept
 The equalization of taxes, that justice may be done to the home owners who now bear fve-eighths of the tax burden, must be equitably accomplished
 The investigation of the electric light company must be immediate, public and thorough.
 The public service corporations must comply with all the duties which under the law they to the city and it's inhabitants.
 The streets must be restored to order and the money of the taxpayers must be justly raised, and wisely and economically expended.
 The Democrat who forgets his duty to his party and to the people may depend upon that in the next election he will be promptly and adequately pun ished as were those who had offended, yesterday.
 But there will be none such.

GAYNOR ELECTED MAYOR BUT TAMMANY TICKET
 GETS AWFUL DRUBBING,
Political Wiseacres See in This Sweeping Defeat the Downfall of Charles F. Murphy as Tiger Chieftain Result of Elections in Other Parts of the Country

Tammany ever sent into a campaign. District leaders including State Senator Christy Sullivan. for sheriff. James Hagen for County Clerk and men wEose. names are synonymous with Tlmmany were forced on the ticket while Tamnlany picked a high grade lawyer. George Gordon Battle. through whom.i it expected to get control of the district attorneys office. All went down to defeat. the county apparently burying every man with the Tammany brand with the possible exception of a coroner and a municipal court judge or two.
 The nominees elected are:
 Mayor. William J. Gaynor. Tam many; Comptroller. W. A Prender- gast Fusion; president of the board president of Manhattan Borough. George McAneny. Fusion: president of Brooklyn borough, Alfred Steers. Fus- ion: president of Bronx Borough. Queens Borough. Lawrence Dresser. Independent Democrat: president of Richmond Borough. George Cromwell, Fusion.
 estimate. the vote being divided three each to the mayor. comptroller and president of the board, two each to the presidents of Manhattan and Brook lyn. and one each for the others
 The real surprise is the poor showing made by William R. Hearst. the In dependent candidate for mayor. He ran about as badly as did William M. Twins. the Republican mayoralty can didate four years ago. receiving only approximately 13O.00O votes in the en- tire five boroughS.
 Former Judge Whitman defeated George Gordon Battle for district at torney of New York County by 12.O00 and will succeed William Travers Jerome on January l.
 The Fusionists voted decisively when Richard H. Smith was elected to the city court bench over George F. Roech. against whom it was urged he had accepted fees while pTacticing law Timothy l.. Woodruff. chairman of the Republican state committee and the urdisputed boss of Kings County. also suffered a loss of prestige because the Hearst people refused to endorse the nominees.

 UNION NOT
 FOR LEE
Town Chairman Rogers Em- ployed Some Machinists, However,te Work at Poll ing Places.

It was reported yesterday that the Machinists' Union was out for Henry Lee for Mayor and had two men sta tioned in each of. the voting places to work for the success of the Republican nominee. An officer of the union said this morning:
 The union had nothing to do with the placing of the men at the polling places It Is true that there were two machinists in all the districts. They were hired by Town Chairman Rogers to work for the Republican party and each was paid $1O for his days work. The men were all there as individuals and I guess the returns indicate that a few machinists voted for Bucking- ham. There was no question affect ing the union as an organization con- nected with the campaign I am sorry if the impression got out that the or ganization was mixing in, although I suppose MT. Rogers thought he had pulled off quite a coupe
 Friends of Timothy Flanagan, busi- ness agent for the Carpenters Union, nailed canard that was afloat yes terday to the effect that he was work ing in the Second district against the success of the Democratic ticket. They declare that he was one of the hard est workers in getting out the vote and that he asked all of his friends to vote the straight ticket

LEE THINKS LACK OF
 JOBS TO GIVE BEAT HIM

Mayor Lee showed up at his office in the city hall. this morning, short ly before 10 o'clock. and after he had dismissed some callers a Farmer re- porter was able to see him. The re- porter asked the mayor if he thought the big majority rolled up by Buck in popularity of City Clerk Bucking- ham during the past three years?
 No there was not much in that" said the mayor. ''It is the conditions of the town. I am more convinced than ever that it is impossible to re- elect mayor in a cosmopolitan city like Bridgeport. You must remember that we have had four years of Re- publican administration There are so many factions to cater to that there are not enough jobs to go around where jobs are wanted and at the end of a few years time all of those who have not been taken care of get to- gether and go in to make a change I don't believe you will ever see more than two mayors reelected in Bridge port out of the next ten Conditions here are different than most any oth- CT city in the country Those condi- tions may change when all of these elements of our population are elimi- mated by the individuals who make up the clements becoming parts of the big parties
 sTkere were many statements in the press which were very unfair during the campaign. The argument of the high tax rate was not just Why did n't they call attention to the fact that the police department went to the courts and helped raise the taxes by securing that $i6.O00 increase in their pay Then there were other things.
 Next year among other increases in the burden of the city will be the state tax of s420O0 for this year and s42,OoO for next year making a total or more than $S4.O0O. That will be more than a one mill tax It will be unfair for our newspapers to point at the high tax rate next year because 1t is Democratic administration for this cause as the cause is one that will be beyond the control of the incoming mayor. just as many causes of the high tax rate were beyond the con- trol of the mayor this year. But the papers used 1t as an argument and it counted with many people don't think you will ever see a low tax rate in Bridgeport if Bridgeport is going to grow"
 Getting back to the reelection of mayor the mayor said: You would never have seen Mulvihill elected a second time if it had not been for the fact that he was held back from carry ing out the affairs of his office by the legislature.''
 speaking of the vote of yesterday the mayor said that Buckingham got a great many Republican votes all over the city.
 Last night the mayor. Town Chair man Rogers. Postmaster Marigold. Coroner Clifford R. Wilson and Attor- ney F. K Nicholson of the law en- forcement league enjoyed a little din- ner at the Stratfeld while the Demo- cratic legions were parading the streets on their way to the home of the triumphant candidate.
 Supt. John H. Colgan of the street department who has not been on speaking terms with Director Biltz for over a year stepped into the office of
