HE HAD BEEN
 MlSIuFORMED

A citizen who Hikes things done rieht' complained to Councilman Joe Smith the other day that the notice of election for the city coun cil had not been posted for the re- quired 30 days, and, worse still, in order to make it appear that the notice had been posted the proper number of days i'll advance of the election, it had been dated back y
 Councilman Smith thought the complaint serious enough, if true so brought the matter up before the council at last Wednesdays meet ing.
 It turned out that tue law does NOT require 30 days notice of a city election. but 10 days only, and furthermore the notices were not dated back. There was nc need for it.

 MT. Sheppard says the people of the Old Innoko diggings are more hopeful this year than ever before, and the outlook there is certainly brighter than it was when Mr. Sheppard was there two years ago. Bob Evans and Dan Nicholson, and the Schneirla b:O:hers, ou Little creek, both have out fine dumps, and there is a general air of hope  fulness. The quartz at the head of Canes and Yankee has been proved to considerable depth, and is be- lieved to be good thing.

THE STATE STREET BRIDGE

tracks will be promptly laid on the new structure.
 It is rather instructive to glance
 over the list of names attached to the petition for the new bridge now before the Council.
 The very extended list of property owners and business men of the State and lower Main street section are l there, as one would naturally expect. Then there is the big Railroad follow ing all the way from Directors of the Company to Trolley Employees. Also those who have now, or hope in the near future to have business dealings with the Big Monopoly.
 Then back of and behind it all, are certain large moneyed interests, who in looking over the investment field, have found that Bridgeport is well within her legal limit of indebted ness. Hence the feverish haste to hire outside talent to come here at big expense, to recommend largely increased outlay. for the city. Most any old thing in the line of expen- allure will do. Apparently it is a part of the program to exploit Bridge port in an up-to-dase High Finance keep down expenditure and indebted ness ask such questions as these: Why shouldn't the Railroad be held to it's plainly legal obligation. if more bridge accommodation is required to pay one half the cost of the same Would not be wise to put up anoth- CT obstruction to navigation with more salaried officials to run it, when not needed?
 Didn't the City Engineer. not long since, decide that the State Street end was i1npracticable?
 Are we, as Bridgeportdrs particular Iy interested in shuntingN outside trav- e1 through and away from the city as rapidly as possib1e2l
 Then, on the other hand, would 2. local connection between the busi- ness centers of the city. east and west, be subserved by such a location, to any considerable extent? R R T,FWTS
