ADVERSE REPORT ON CHARTER FOR
 GARBAGE LINE
Especial to the Farmer.O

Hartford. April 5-In the House to- day the Corporations committee re- ported unfavorably on the resolution incorporating the Pequonnock Com pany of Bridgeport. Railroad Com missioner T. B. Ford of Bridgeport ap- peared at the hearing on the bill yes terday in favor of it. Representative Evitts of Milford, House chairman of the committee, in explaining the com mittee's adverse report. said that the committee did not feel like granting the charter in view of certain extra ordinary powers which it sought.
 He said that one provision which the committee did not feel like accepting, asked the privilege of constructing an industrial railroad in Bridgeport. He said that this matter had not been advertised as the law requires, and the committee therefore opposed the granting of the charter.
 The House accepted the report of the committee without dissent.
 At the hearing on the bill yesterday afternoon Commissioner Ford said that the industrial road which the company would build would be located in the northern section of the city, east of Main street and north of Bos- ton avenue It was the intention of the incorporators to use the road for the conveying of garbage and other products in event of the present gar bage plant being removed further from the habitable part of the city.
 The charter also would give the company other powers now enjoyed by street railway and electric lighting corporations Attorney Frank S. Bishop of New Haven, counsel for the Bridgeport & Danbury Railway, and Samuel c. Morehouse, representing the electric light monopoly, appeared in opposition.
 Warehouse said he did not think the people of Bridgeport wanted garbage run through their thoroughfares on street cars.

Many many suits of true beauty-- $2O to $50.

By far the great majority of women can step into the suit sec tion and choose a suit with little delay. Suits for women of aver age build. Suits for large wom- en. Suits for small women. There is abundance of each.
 Rich black suits or blue. Taste full suits of gray, that good ser viceable hue which always pre- sents an attractive appearance. Suits in mannish styles. Suits in quiet and elegant feminine fashions. And some of the hard est-to-get thing of all-tan suits.
 There is a special attraction of individual style and rich finish in the suits at $2O to $50. Almost does it seem as though our tail ors had excelled themselves. Whether it is the plain or the braided or the decorated suit; in this assembly at these prices there is unusual merit.
