May Submit Revenue Bill

There is already talk of sub- hitting the Turner Jacobson revenue bill under the I & R a. mendment. It is estimated that 6,900 petitioners would be enough to order it's submission. Under the law, the proposed measure would have to be pub lished in some newspaper in each county, and as the act covers no printed pages, this would be quite expensive. It has been es- timated that it's submission would cost about $2OO, ,O0O. There is also talk of initiating a game warden law, which the Legisla- ture repeatedly refused to enact. With the enactment at the extra session of an enabling act vitaliz. ing the Initiative and Referend. um amendment, it is probable there will be flood of popular Legislation the next few years.

School Board Meeting

At a meeting of the school board Saturday evening, the res ignation of Col. c. c. Hamby was again presented and was reluct- antly accepted. Col. Hamby, who was president of this body, has served as a director faithful ly for a period of twelve years, and his resignation is a matter of regret to the patrons of our public schools.
 The board proceeded to elect a a new member, T. R. Wright be- ing chosen to fill the vacancy. w. N. Bemis was elected presi- dent of the board. Mir. Bemis has always shown considerable interest in educational mat ters and will no doubt make good president.
 In the selection of Mr. Wright to fill the vacancy on this import ant board, no better man could have been found. Mr. Wright is at present assistant cashier of the Bank of Prescott and has held other important positions in Prescott and Nevada county.

of relief from the weather de- partment. For weeks there has been no rain in the state, save in widely scattered localities, and in consequence the crops are be- ginning to suffer greatly.
 Shrubbery and grass are dy- ing, corn is turning yellow, gar gen vegetables are shriveling up, and cotton will soon begin to feel the effects of the protracted high temperatures. From many sec tions of the state come reports that the cotton already up is net hurt yet. while thousands of a cres are not up, and the surface of the soil is baked so hard the plants could not force their way through.
 Hot, dry winds are sweeping the state, and even the forest trees are beginning to show the effects of the excessive heat. The temperatures are hanging a. round 100 with the sun rising day after day in cloudless sky.
 The berry crop is cut short, and wholesale grocers say their canned goods business will be- gin at least a month earlier be- cause of the early exhaustion of the supply of fresh vegetables and fruits.
 The last weeks in May and the first in June have been the hot test of any corresponding period in many years.

Council Wants Conn. Co To Have
 North Main Line
Goes on Record Relative to Controversy Between Ri
 val Companies

Because of varying opinions as to the most desirable attitude of the Common Counci, on the North Main ences of opinion in relation to other proposed trolley construction, the council acted separately upon various paragraphs of a report of the commit tee on Streets and Sidewalks embody- ing recommendations of trolley con- struction on various streets, at the regular meeting of the council last night.
 The North Main street proposition was attended by a communication from the Railroad Commissioners out lining what has been done in the way of hearings before that body, as de- tailed in the Farmer. Aldermen De Forest and Paddock were averse to taking action as recommended by the committee on Streets and Sidewalks favoring the extension of the Connec- ticut Co.'S tracks to the Trumbull line in opposition to the wishes of the Dan bury & Bridgeport Electric Railway Go. to extend it's lines to the present terminal of the North Main street line.
 Alderman Jackson declared the D. & B. charter was contained by three men kept in their vest pockets for four years, then suddenly resurrected and found to be of great value. The council went on record as favorable to the Connecticut Co.,, after the fa- miliar arguments as to one fare and better service were submitted.
 The council took a recess to grant permission to the Connecticut Go. to extend it's tracks. at the foot of Sea- view avenue through the highway so as to connect with the proposed line of George c Tilyou's Steeplechase Is- land beginning at the drawbridge The Streets and Sidewalks committee acted on the petition presented by AL derman Clampett at the request of the Board of Trade, and its favorable re- port was accepted.
 The attempt to favor an extension by way of Atlantic street from Main street along the Barnum dilze to the bath houses met with so much oppo- sition from Aldermen Gerrity and Will der owing to the uncertainty just how the line would reach it's destination,

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE CHARTER TINKERING
 PROJECT CONDEMNED
Aldermen Almost Unanimously Score Civic Organizations Attitude Toward Public
 at Large

With all but Aldermen Miller and Primrose voting in favor of the reso- lution, the Board of Aldermen went on record at a fully attended meeting last evening as opposed to the amendments proposed to the city charter by the Taxpaye League.
 The action was taken after consider able debate. It was the first official expression of the exact position of the direct representatives of the people on this matter, and it was taken at the earnest solicitation Of Alderman R. C.. DeForest, who urged his colleagues not to leave an opportunity open for the advocates of the changes to ridi- cule the representatives of the people as having failed to indicate their po- sition.
 The discussion arose when Alderman Jackson offered a resolution that the chair-Alderman Lavery, president of the council, presided in the absence of Mayor Buckingham who was a guest at a banquet of the Shepherds of Bethlehem-name a committee of three, and the city pay its railroad fare to Hartford, to appear before the committee on Cities and Boroughs at the hearing scheduled today for the charter changes proposed by the Tax payers League.
 Alderman DeForest was waiting for an opportunity to present a resolution on this subject, and he promptly intro duced an amendment by which the committee to represent the council would be instruded to inform the com mittee that the Board of Aldermen had placed itself on record as opposed to the proposition.
 Alderman Miller opposed any action that would cause the council to con- demn or approve the propositions col
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-04-04

lectively. Alderman Primrose echoed the sentiments of Alderman Miller and said he considered the action of the council which went on record as refusing to consider the propositions at this time, as sufficient.
 But Alderman DeForest pointed out the necessity for action. Refusing to consider was far from unfavorably considering. he argued. If some ac- tion Is not taken defining the attitude of the council, the Taxpayers League may rightfully represent to the com mittee that the Aldermen have not passed on the project at all.
 At this juncture Senator Paddock, the Alderman from the 12th, disclosed a statement made to him by 8 mem- Der of the Taxpayers League who, he said. was among the leaders of the advocates of the changes. This mem- Der, he said, admitted that the amend ments proposed came in bad odor, and the league didn't expect favorable action on them, but expected to pave the way for two years hence.
 Alderman Jackson vigorously char acterized the amendments as illogical and abortive, a child of uncertain par entage. and declared the council should leave no doubt as to where it stands.
 Attorney DeForest warned his col leagues that unless some action such as he proposed be taken, Attorney Phe- Ian, for the Taxpayers League, would have the time Of his life with the com mittee on Cities and Boroughs by pointing to the city records and prov ing that the Aldermen had failed to act.
 The amended resolution was then adopted, and the chair appointed Sem ator Paddock and Aldermen DeForest and Jackson to represent the city.

''' Ae Urges Buikheadins.

I respectfully urge that steps be taken by the city to bulkhead the 500 feet of property owned by the city in Yellow Mill harbor along Connecti- cut avenue. This can be done none too soon because of the constant shift ing of the mud flats.
 It Is with pleasure that I note that the board of apportionment at its last session provided $3.000 for wharf im- provements and hope it is to be the purposes. I would heartily recom- mend that your honorable body take action to promulgate @ fixed program of buIkheading and of not more than five years, the same to be paid for with a bond tissue secured for that special purpose. The bulkheading of the Pequonnock river and the elimi- nation of the mud flats there at low tide would not only provide the city with an ideal inner harbor and pro- tect the general health. but would mark substantially the harbor lines which seem to, push ehannelward standing of the city as port. The following number of vessels arrived during the year ending March 31, 1911:

Congress Street Widening Made at
 Cost Of Sidewalk

Congress street property owners were ordered to set back curb and gutter one and one-half feet on either side of the street, by vote of the Com- mon Council last night. This will leave a walk about ' 1-2 feet wide, and will widen the street so that in the Judgment of the committee the traffic conditions. when permanent pavement is laid, will be greatly improved.
 Alderman Clampett's resolution was adopted preventing the Connecticut co. from laying it's new tracks in Con- gress street at different scale than at present This was taken as a precau- ton against 10 foot center
 Hearings were held on the layout of permanent pavement in the following streets:
 State street Broad street to Fair field avenue intersection. Fairfield avenue; Clinton avenue west to via duct: East Washington avenue. Will liam street to Noble avenue; Noble avenue, East Washington avenue to Barnum avenue: Bernum avenue, No ble avenue to Seaview avenue. Fa- vorable sentiment was manifested in all cases wherever appearances were made.
