THE HARBOR MASTER

(From the Telegram, May 21, 190S.)
 The reports set forth by inter ested persons that HarbOr Master Morris had abandoned his advocacy of the city harbor line perhaps did those who originated them more harm than good. They called re- snewed attention to the persistency with which the railroad and it's friends attempt to befog the issues establishment of the line which it suggested and which the govern nlent engineer obligingly adopted is of the utmost importance to the railroad is beyond dispute. The desperate efforts which it Is mak-- ing to get its own way should in themselves be sufficient to teach the people of Bridgeport caution. It is by no means certain that the fn- terests of the railroad and those of Bridgeport precisely coincide and the petty threats which are being so freely used against a possibly obstinate city are rightly exciting a indignation in quarters where the mere question of harbor lines would be a matter of indifference. It is undeniable that MT. Morris is re- ceiving a large amount of sym pathy in his fight for what he be- 1ieves to be the interests of the public. The highhanded course wich the railroad has seen fit to pursue may corceivably defeat it's own ends and the harbor controv- ersy may merge into a larger one. AS the railroad thoroughly under stands there is a train of gum powder all over.new England which needs only the proverbial spark to produce an explosion.

Mayor Will Leave Town. PERHAPS

(F'rom the Farmer of Dec. 3, 1900
 Vice President Calvert Townley, of the Connecticut Company, testi- fled before the railroad commission CTS, in the common council cham Der, this morning, that the com pany had abandoned it's petition to run spur tracks across the side walk in Stratford avenue sometime ago as it would be satisfied to se- cure the right to build spur tracks in Congress- street and Middle street. -sf~
 The city attorney asked if MT. Spock, attorney for the railroad, claimed that the commission could grant permission to lay tracks across the strip of land owned by the city on Stratford avenue.
 MT. Spock. we understand there is little strip of land which the company gave the city for highway purposes"
 "It was not given for highway purposes" calculated Mayor Lee.
 MT. Townley asked the mayor if he did not think it would be possi- ble for the railroad, anytime in from two to ten years, to get per mission for the entrance to the pro- posed car barn to Stratford ave- nue. ~ s..,'if ft @ ,~-
 The mayor replied: CT will have to move out of Bridgeport if ever favor the laying of spur tracks across StratfOrd avenue at the point in question"
 There were over hundred spec tators and they applauded the mayor

WHAT WILL THE
 COMMISSIONERS DO?

(From the Post of Dec. 8. 190S.)
 If the Railroad Commissioners had any doubts regarding the amount of opposition in this City to the proposition of the Connecti- cut Company to lay spur tracks across Congress street and Fairfield avenue to connect with it's pro- posed car barns, certainly the crowded council chamber this morn ing, must have dispelled them. Nothing, unless it were a City question of vital importance, could have drawn so many business and professional men from their occu- pations to attend a public hear ing. N& ft .A L.'t
 That Mayor Lee had a united public sentiment at his back when he protested vigorously against the Company further congesting the busy streets named When there were other and available methods to employ, was evident. One thing was made clear at the start of the proceedings before the Commission ers The Officials of the Railroad, while protesting a strong desire to do things in harmony with the City, based their entire line of evil dence upon the feasibility of the plans from the Railroads stand point as affecting expense and ease of operation.
 No one for a moment doubted but that if the Railroad were ob- liged to connect with the proposed barns on Water street inst of Congress street Or Fairfield .ve- nue, the skilled ands trained langt- neers of the Company would have little difficulty in surmounting diff faculties that now seem tremend- OuS. .t.H-- and he has the support of the en- tire people, in it. t..
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-10-30

that the Company, had no hard feeling on the matter. That may be , easily. believed.
 But above all that, if the speak CTS represented the position of the Company, then that position does not take into the slightest con- sideration the welfare of Bridge port in guarding against traffic congestion.
 The Railroad Commission can have no doubt about the issue be- tween both parties. The Street Car Company asks to be allowed to lay eled thoroughfares because that plan is at present the most con- venient for them. The city insists that it will be a grave blunder to hamper travel in this way, travel, too, that is constantly increasing, and 1t suggests to the Company a thoroughly feasible plan for avoid ing this mistake. It ought not to be difficult for the Commissioners to make a decision in such a case, that is, if municipalities have any rights which are worthy of con SideratiOn.
 There is to be still further hear ing. The City is asked to prepare for the Commissioners a plan that will provide an exit at Gold street. There are also some boundary lines on Congress street in dispute. It ought not to be difficult for Mayor Lee to satisfy the Commissioners on these matters. He has taken hold of this dispute in so business {. like way that he is no doubt prepared upon every point.
 It is many years since Bridge port had a such a Chief Executive who can fight her battles with that pugnacious persistency that is an invitation to victory of itself.

 Big Automobile Meet
AllConnecticut

'sThe All-Connecticut Endurance aace'' it will be called. Last evening in Hartford the Automobile club Of that town met, and unless some un- forseen accident sets. at naught the plans that. were formulated, Connecti- cut will see the greatest automobile contest that has ever taken place in the state. The date was some time between May-.15 and June 15. -1910.- The meeting was held in response to a communication from the Automobile Association of America which stands back of the national automobile events and the lack of whose sanction. prac- tically prevents the success of a con- test of any kind. This body in turn informs the leading automobile manu- lecturers of the country of the leading contest The distance to be covered will probably be 800 miles, with the course .centering in Hartford, the cars starting from there on the first day, returning at night, and starting out again in the morning. Three days run was at first suggested, but it may be four. The western part of the state will be covered the first day, the east ern the second, and the remainder to finish up the third and the fourth. The itinerary will include all the cities and as many of the large towns of the state as possible. Plans were dis cussed at the meeting for the securing of O handsome cup or trophy.
