 c. F. Choate, Jr., who now appears both as citizen and as counsel for MT. Me1Ien, entered a, vigorous protest at this line of testimony, saying that the comparisons were absurd and should not be allowed.
 What sane man." he asked, would compare the New Haven road with the Southern Railway"
 Even the Southern" retorted MT. Brandeis. charged 14 per cent. for depreciation and this was the lowest rate of any of the three roads selected for purposes of comparison
 Examiner Prouty stated that the testimony might be admitted.

 DOESN'T WANT TO "COME BACK"
Ex-Mayor Too Busy to Devote

Eo the Editor of The Farmer:
 Doar Ci--.

1O IH0 EulLOr or 1ae Eafn6r.
 Dear Sir
 It was quite a. surprise to me and undoubtedly to my many friends, in all of the political parties, on reading the article in the Bridgeport Post, un- der. date of April 18th, FRANK E. CLARK MAY COME BACK IN CITY POLITICS.
 To begin with, I must Say I have no intention of doing so.
 There has been no official notice given of the intention of the execu- tive committee to select me to act as Town Chairman of the Democratic party, but were 1t rendered, I would simply have to decline, and might add that reasons for such action are sim ply these: In this hust1ing age the sue cessful man must be a specialist in some particular line, and my speciality now, and has been for the past ten years, and will be in the future, the producing of concrete for structural and road operations, to the highest point of efficiency"
 In doing such, could not devote the time to politics that it requires. and sure success.
 Will you therefore give this denial of my Coming Back In City. Politics enough prominence to allay any sus- picion to that effect.
 Thanking you, believe me to be
 Sincerely yours.
