Vote by Yeas and Nays Shows 7 for PropOs
 ed Ordinance and Seventeen Against.
Majority Allege That Trust Conpan!es Are Not as Safe as National Banks==Under Law
 Alderman Claims, Entire Funds of City
 Could be Deposited With Single Bank.

A minority report from the alder
 manic ordinance committee signed by
 Alderman John J. F'inlan and designed
 to open the way to allow the Bridge
 port Trust Co. to participate in the
 bidding to become a depository for city
 funds was defeated last night by a vote of r to ', taken by yeas and nays. The seven aldermen who be- lieved the trust company should re- ceive a part of the city's funds were McMurray, D. E. O'Neill, Clampett, Finlan, J. P. O'Neill, F'eyrer, and Mey- CT. The first named are Democrats and the two last named. republicans.
 The report of the majority of the ordinance committee, signed by Al derman Lavery, Brady, Gould and O'Connel1, was that the resolution of fered by Alderman C1ampett be not adopted and the Finlan resolution that 1t be adopted.
 The C1ampett resolution proposed to amend the ordinances so, that. Any bank or trust company which is eligi- ble as a depository for State, City or Town funds. under the General Sta tutes of Connecticut, and which is To- cated in the city of Bridgeport, shall be c1assed as eligible for selection as a city depository under this ordinance: but said committee shall have power to reject the bid of any bank whose nfiancial condition shall have, in the judgment of said committee, become imoaired.''
 Alderman Gould said Bridgeport did not have a trust company of sufficient strength to warrant it ranking with the national banks.
 Alderman CIampett said he would like to see the present ordinance changed as in his mind it discrimi- mated against the trust company which was a duly authorized institution chartered to carry a banking busi- ness under the laws of the state- Alderman Lavery said he was not op- posed to the minority report because it was the Bridgeport Trust Co that was being considered, but because there were other trust companies who might want to be considered and he did not think they were in a class with national banks.
 Alderman Gould spoke again saying that he did not care if the trust com pany would pay more interest than the national banks. The safety of the city's money is the important question He said: ttI wonder if our friends are aware that the trust company, if it were the highest bidder, would be en- titled to all of the city's deposits. which will reach s1,4OO,OO, right after taxpaying time.

O'Connor refers to when he speaks of the old Guard But if they are the men I think they are they will be found to be q lively cOrpSe.' The formal action of the town, uu- der the substitute motion by Mr. Jud- son, orders the SeIectmen to make. forthwith, q contract with the Rail road Company for the construction of an additional two feet of macadam at a cost not exceeding $3,0o0.
 This motion was unanim ously adopted.
 It is now believed that the Barnum avenue trolley connection will be made within a short time. There will be a 12 foot roadway on each side of the tracks. Ten feet of this roadway will be built by the trolley company and four feet by the town Of StratfOrd.
 The only dissatisfaction expressed. as a result of this action, is by some of the taxpayers, who believe that a ten foot roadway is enough, and who assert that the town, in voting SS,O0O for additional roadway, is merely spending that amount of money to let the selectmen down easy.
 The Barnum avenue. people were exceedingly pleased with the thought that the end of the long fight had come. Many were the congratuIa- tions which they showered upon Fr O'Connor, recognizing that his ardent and fearless championship had odds.
 Though the fight of the Barnun avenue trolIeys is ended, the fight against the ''Old Guard'' appears to have just begun.
 There are elements in the citizen ship who are determined to "cIeau up'' StratfOrd. These assert a com Icination between the old guard and certain law breaking elements, with result injurious to the moral life of the community.
 ''IThe Stratford Machine is rotten We're going to get it" is a phrase much on the lips of Stratford voters just now.

 All would have been merry as a
 marriage bell if matters had stopped here. But the f'OId Guard' appar- ently had elected F. D. Conine to Canonize the Selectmen. MT. Conine with skill and eloquence, congratu- lated the selectmen upon their brav- cry in standing out against the New
 Haven Railroad. But this was not all. He continued to suggest that men, should, after the meeting, as- semb1e about those officers, in a ring, and informally declare regret for all those past utterances in which they had VariOusly expressed the idea that the said select1nen are ttalI in" or down and out,'' or twenty
 Inasmuch as Fr M. J. O,Connor. who has lead the movement for troll 1eys on Barnunl avenue, and who has been opposed to the "OId Guard" for was thus placed ih the position of having been unjust to the seIectmen, it seemed necessary for him to reply.
 He did so briefly and in manner which brought tumults of applause from the voters.
 +NThe Old Guard" he said, e.is political dead in this town. MT. Co., nine has been politically dead for some time- There is old saying Ill l1lee:s. .LaLIn, Wn1ch reads, speak good of the dead.' am, by t lis sentiment, estopped from saying some things that perhaps should be said at this time. But as MT. Conine appears here as chief mourner for the Old Guard and as they have both passed away, in a political sense, I suggest, that the dead bury the dead. Let MT. Conine bury the old Guard'.'
 Err O'Connor then said that if, at the first meeting, MT. Conine had ex- 1T 6. lime 1fG- flaw To ffe Rarnum avenue trolleys, like those he had then uttered, the electors would be justified in placing an en- tireIy different construction upon his remarks. His views would be en- titled to some weight.
