 Much interest was manifested In the passage between President A. M- Coop CT of the tax board, and residents of the First, or outlying, district so-call- ed, who asked for new work MT Cooper insisted the First district has been receiving for years more than it has been paying for.
 This did not set well with Judge A B. Beers representing WestneId ave nue residents, nor with Joe St0ehrs the well known. North Main street market man. -- Judge Beers suavely parr1e6 MT. Cooper's sthrusts, while Seeehr, more inpulsiye. launched into an at tack upon the Board of Edueatten for what he deemed extravagance in pur- chasing its Sheridan school site.

behalf The answers ara as numerous as are the forms which chis ancient joke assumes. 4 It seems to me sufh- cient to say, and in this am support ed by the petition which lies upon your table, that this proposition takes neither its origin nor its support alone from the women of Bridgeport. when I was retained in this cause as- stunned it's burdens with the hope that my connection with it might remain in obscur1ty, at least until the ordeal was over; and when the ubiouitous re- porter published me in black headlines as the spokesman of this delegation braced myself for the anticipated fuSi- Jade of merry Quirks and pointed jests. But, gentlemen. there have been no jokes, and many men prominent in the business and political affairs of this city have expressed to me the hope that you would conclude to grant the prayer of the petition.
 Appeal to Strength.
 Another point suggests itself in this connection. The petition states that it is founded upon a favorable public opinion. It may be asked why they have chosen so poor and dubious a means of emphasis as myself instead laying before you a list Of petitioners so overwhelming in it's numbers that argument would be unnecessary and dissent impossible. To this reply but briefly. We wish to appeal to your strength, not your weakness; to found our cause on reason, not on popular clamor-
 Now, our proposition Is no more than this-that the task of administer ing the affairs of public education in a large city demands such high quail ties of intellect, moral force and self forgetting devotion. and such peculiar adaptation to special work, that in selecting those to whom this important office shall be intrusted, we should avail ourselves not only of the serv- ices of men, but of women as well.
 Thus stated, 1t is apparent that two elements which might initiate against us are at once excluded. Tn the first place, the proposition has no connec- tion with the campaign for woman suffrage; and, in the second place, it does not imply that one or more wom- en should be appointed simply as women and regardless of the question of their peculiar qualification.
 There Are Extremists.
 That there are extremists who take the affirmative of that last proposal, I do not deny. But am glad that the exigencieS of the debate do not require

 can't see why the Board of Ed cuation, did not go down on it's knees, as one man, and with due accord say, Come. you are just what we need, we can't get along without you, we will do everything to have you with us-we will even sacrifice personal comfort at the meetings in the way of feet elevations. and smoke. but COATE."
