In effect. the plan will embrace a COM

all the lists of vacant houses and apart

real estate agents of the city. The firm,
however, will do no renting. These lists
will be corrected daily and the house
hunter will be able to locate in a moment
exactly the place desired without the
trouble, expense, and delay involved in a
canvass OF all the rental agencies.
This service and all others connected
with the enterprise of this new depart

are patrons of the house or not-and no

any service rendered.

things:
THE $50 organized Socialists of the

working for the repeal of the organic

this law benefits only the landlords and

rents here are higher than in any city

The American people have contrib

maintain this District, which is very
much more than they should have paid
as owners of the Federal property here.
Any city would be glad to have the
Federal departments, with their thou
sands of employees, and exempt them
from all taxation.
I'VE further declare that the organic
law is one of the worst obstacles in the
campaign to secure the constitutional
right of suffrage for the citizens of the

The statement concludes: Let this
law be repealed. Let this city be run

Stomach Sufferers

spent upon physicians and drugs goes
in an attempt to cure the stomach.
People are made to believe that in

their stomach and use cathartics. So
the doctor gets his fee for the stom-
ach treatment and the druggist for the

the result of over-eating, hurried mas

AUTO DEALERS GIVE UP
IDEA OF HOLDING SHOW

Bridgeport is not to have an auto
mobile show this spring. This was
decided upon at meeting or the
Bridgeport Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation held last evening at the Strait
field, when the committee appointed
some time ago to look into a site in
which to hold the show. reported that
no suitable location could be secured.
The members then voted that the best
way out of the matter was not to hold
d show.
The announcement comes as a sur
prise to the general public which had
expected to witness a show. even SUI
perior to the exhibit given at the arm
DRY last spring. which show was the
associations debut. and which was
tremendous success.
The members in reaching their de-
cision, and resembling their former ac-
ton to hold show. also kept in mind
the lateness of the season. and decided
that the dropping of the affair would
be the best conclusion.
