PUBLIC OPlNI0N
THE PROPOSED BRIDGE.

Editor of Evening Farmer. Gentle
 men:
 AS interest grows apace in the things which concern the citys future enlargement, betterment, and import ance, it might be well to reflectiVely, and carefully weigh the proposal pre- sented to the council anent the plac- ing of g. bridge at Arctic street.
 No one can deny that such neces- sity will sooner or later demand the attention of the city fathers. But could there not be found a more suit able and more accessible spot than that portion of the land along the Pequonnock River, where it is by far the widest and at least as low as any spot along it's banks making a down grade approach and compelling a destruction of property at its ap- breaches thus interfered with their present grade?
 So important an undertaking as the establishing of a proper grade to meet the requirements of navigation laws should be matter of deep research and careful deliberation, that the faulty construction of so great con- venience have no such happening as appears on our new Congress street bridge in the "high tide mark" that appears above the stone structure. (This allusion is not intended as a reflection, least as an argument Tn favor of high bridges.)
 That portion of the Pequonnock River at Arctic street, is by far the most desirable area for city Wharfs. which everyone knows is of more im- mediate necessity than a bridge, W hich, were it placed in that section would materially mar the interests enterprising industries of the East Side, and prevent the docking of lumber ships which are so manifestly an evidence of thrift and growth of the lumber trade.
 To the shortsighted, and those whose interest are of a time serving, nature, such schemes are a satisfac- ton. But to the citizen whose in- terest is of a liberal nature, and broadly progressive, embodying the future welfare and enlargement of his city. the destroying of such pros poets as are openly spread out before the eyes of practical seekers after such necessity as city wharfage, is nothing short of gross injustice; and an offence to progressive minds.
 The claim that to locate a bridge at Arctic street would be a central thoroughfare, may be justly made by those who want to limit the advance of the city northward, and that there should be a viaduct upon which no cars might run may also serve as an argument. But to prohibit such ac- cessories to the growth of a city as the electric car has proven itself to te, is to assume the role of a re- progressive, such consideration should not enter into the plan, but rather invite such advanced means of transportation and so keep pace with the foremost cities of our coun- try.
 A back street bridge might possi- lily be an accommodation, and few might be benefited. But what the city of Bridgeport needs, and should

PUBLIC NOT WITHOUT REMEDY AGAINST OYERCHARGING AND
 DISCRIMINATION BY MONOPOLY
Conditions Presented By Chairman of Electric Invesga tion Committee May Be Reached By Mandamus,
 Writ of Quo Warranto

"This company, The United Illumi- mating Company, is overcharging the people of Bridgeport in both it's pub criminare.''
 This was the language of Attorney David S. Day, chairman of the com mittee sent out to investigate the cleo tric monopoly, used to the members of the Common Council at their meet Ing, Monday night.
 MT. Day added that in his opinion the city cannot help itself, that it has no remedy.
 This statement that the ttcity has no rem medy" created a mild sensation among lawyers, who are inclined to regard MT. Days attitude as indirect ly a reflection upon the courts
 The law of most states has long forbidden a public service monopoly, whose privileges are granted upon the assumption that it will perform cer- tain duties to the public, to discrimi- nate in it's charges between consum- CTS of the same class.
 Such discrimination has been re- peatedly held to be a cause for for fejting the charter of the company.
 The same is true of overcharging A public service corporation is en- titled to charge a reasonable rate for it's services. This rate must not be such as will gain for it more than a fair profit on the value of the prop erty used in the business.
 A charge much in excess of the amount permitted by a public service corporation would undoubtedly be occasion for forfeiture.
 Continued the speaker, Assuming that MT. Day is correct in his state lnent that both public and private consumers are overcharged, then I

EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE
 ALL AROUND TOWN

The officers of the city court would do a great favor to the foreign popu- lation of the city if interpreters were engaged at a sufficient weekly salary to warrant men who have the. full confidence of the people whose ton- lions.
 The interpreters get $1.50 a day when they interpret, but they have to be in court every morning and this takes a great deal of their time. It is a common thing to see an inter- preter qualify to speak two or three dialects at one session of a court. They undoubtedly do their work con- scientiously, but there are many in stances where the foreign witnesses express themselves as having grave fears that the interpretation into Eng fish did not cover all of the points of the testimony. A speech of a hun dred words or more is often summed up in a dozen words of English.
 The interpreters cannot live on what they get from the courts in all eases. Some of them have lines of business which they follows steadily, but in the past many of them after getting known as part of the court are sought by people speaking the same language to do legal business for them. Some of the interpreters make it a business to steer business for some of the law yers. Cases are known where the in- terperters have charged foreigners a fee for getting them the services of an attorney.
 A prominent Slavish citizen said yesterday, eff the city court would pay at least $2 a day for an inter- perter who was instructed not to be an evidence getter or runner for the lawyers the people would like it better. No one likes to have an in terperter translating his testimony to a court and have a suspicion that the man who is making the translation hired the lawyer for the other side or looked up a witness for the opposition. It might be well to have all of the in- terpreting done by police officers.
 Any action that would confine the work of the interpreters to interpret ing would please the people in the foreign lcoonies very much"

 It seems hardly necessary to state to intelligent progressive citizens that there is only one spot that appeals to such where central bridge can be placed, which will for generations fully meet the demand that the rapid growth of our city will surely present, when the construction of such e via duct would in no way interfere with possibility of wharfage, as the high land of either side makes it unsuft- able for such a desirable purpose. Where the narrowness of the chan mel and adaptabili of each bank and the requisites of good and safe abut- rnents, invite the practical, discerning end unbiased mind to consider ftz advantages, which are far above and superior to any site that is within the boundary of our city of bridges. It is Sno trifling matter, the engaging in such trupendous undertakings ss those of bridge construction as has been proven and the city has had to stagger under a load that few care to contemplate. But where stability, durability and ability combine to &C., commodate the citizen and taxpayer no consistent thinking community will offer anything but commendation, but would place at the disposal of their representation their solid invited SUD- port.
 In view of the likelihood of an at- tempt to move in precipitate man ner, would it not be we'll to get the voice of the practical as well as that of the imaginative portion of the city in the settlement of so considerable a matter as another bridge across the Pequonnock River at either Arc tic, or flick streets.
 When Natures architect has plan ned the best, and purest place on which to rest the bridge that great CT Bridgeport needs at Ogden avenue.

am astonished that he should say that the city has no remedy.
 'In such a case it is law for the primary class that a remedy will lie in at least two proceedings. The city may have a writ of mandamus by W hich the company will be ordered to desist from charging the unlawful rate, or from making the unlawful discrimination.
 "But the second and better method is to set up that the company com plained of is not obeying the law, and is failing to observe It's duties, and seek forfeiture of the charter of the offender by an information in the nature of writ of quo warranto.
 According to MT. Day a wrong exists. This company, he says, is overcharging the people of Bridge port in both it's public and it's private rates. It does discriminate, he says
 These are wrongs, if they exist, that the law does not permit. It is unthinkable that the courts, if prop erly invoked, will permit such wrongs, to continue, after receiving proof of their existence.
 "But if the investigation commit tee, of which MT. Day was chairman, discovered that the public and pri- vate persons were being overcharged and made the victims of discrimina- ton, why did his committee not re- port the facts, and the nature of the overcharges?
 ''Why does he not now favor such an investigation as will lay bare the facts that he alleges, but which his committee neglected to report
 'It is not true that the merchants of Bridgeport, and the consumers of electric lights have no remedy against overcharging and discrimina- ton, once the evidence is in existence to prove the facts''

 Woodruff had his picture taken the other day by a man who got on the right side of him. He allowed him. self to be snapped, but wouldn't talk. He didn't care to talk about any, thing. and the photographer was just wasting time in trying to talk.
