MONUMENT TO
 CARL SCHURz
 IS DEDICATED

Nsp York, May Adjudication here of a monument to Carl Schurz, ''de- fender of liberty and friend Of human rights brought tribute to his mem ory from the President of the United States; by letter, from a number of .prominent men by spoken eulogy and rom host of citizens, civil and rnil- 1tary by attendance upon the dedica- tory exercises.
 In letter regretting his, inability to be here to speak, President Will son wrote:
 ffOne of the most gratifying elements of our national life is the part played by men born on the other side of the water who have chosen America for their permanent home, and who have caught the real spirit of our institu- uons and have lent themselves and all the fine force that Is in them to pa trfotic service in the cause of fiber ty and justice. Such a man is Carl Schurz and I am happy to unite with my fellow citizens in paying a tri- bute of the highest respect and ad- mtration to his memory
 The monument stands upon com handing site overlooking Morningside Park, near Columbia University, and is a full length statue on whose gran ite pedestal are allegoricaI figures representing the principal activities of Schurz-his work in behalf of the In- dian and the negro and his contribu- tions toward the advancement of the human race.

tries, which up to rhe present time have brought honor, wealth, popula- ton and credit to our State, or the loss of few more or less fish and cIaIns each year in our tidal and in land waters?
 The ~supposition is that the real ob- ject of bill No. 708 is not so much for the bettering of the present condi- tions of the oyster industry as 1t is to c1othe the State Board of Health with unlimited powers, so that certain par ties interested can force upon the tax payers of the City Of Bridgeport, an experimental sanitary sewer system at a cost of $5,OOO,OOo to s1o,ooO.0Oo, which is uncalled for, unwarranted and not one-tenth part as available for the sewer needs of the City of Bridgeport as the original Scofe1d Sewer System is at the present time. besides materially depreciatfng the present good credit of our city.
 It is also supposed that these in- terested parties believe they could bring influence to bear upon a few members of the State Board of Health much more readily than they could upon the whole legislative body of the State of Connecticut, if the actual truth of their desire was universally known to have bill No. 708 passed.

COLD MAY DAY,
 BRINGS SEWERS


 With the mercury lowering around the 40 degree mark, Bridgeport people stivered through the early hours of this morning wondering if winter had changed it's mind about leaving for the polar regions, and had decided to come back and o1Ist fair spring out of the way. It was so cold last night that a thin film of ice formed w7ler- ever water was exposed to the air, and it seemed colder even than it really was, owing to the strong wind which was blowing.
 The wind during the night was the salvation of many of the early crops in the outlying districts around Bridgeport, of 1t prevented frost from forming and so little or no damage to the crops was done.
 In Winsted the mercury dropped to 30 and in Norfolk the readings were about 24. Out in Stratford the mer- cury dropped to s5 degrees and in this city it went as low as 27. At noon today it had risen considerably, but as the breeze was very keen, few persons ventured out in the new Spring glad rags

No Referendum for
 Norwalk Consolidation

Hartford, May 1O--After it had be- come known that the bill to coIsoii- date the Norwalks would be reported favorably by the Cities and Roroughs committee members of the commit tee were asked why no referendum provision would be attached. They said that legal opinions were that no power could be given to one person to vote for another person into something he objected to. For this reason a referendum clause would not be con- stitutional. In further explanation it was said that the citizens of the Ncr- walks could vote for or against talk ing over Of a public utility by the town under a referendum, otzt there could be no such referendum when it came to one citizen of South Norwalk voting citizen of Norwa1k into one city to be made up of the two cities if the second citizen obJecued to it,, or vice versa T4le Legislature can de- cree that the two cities be united by passing a. consolidation bill. It is un- derstood that in the matter of q refer endum clause to the bill opinions were sought as to its constitutionality and the clause was dropped.
