PUBLIC HEARINGS
 SCHEDULED FOR
 COUNCIL MEETING
Busy Session Is Promised For the City Fathers at Gathering Tonight.

In accordance with a recent vote Of the Common Council there will be a public hearing in the Council chamber tonight on the petition of the Con- necticut Breweries Go. and the New Haven road, to construct, operate and maintain a, spur track in Housatonic avenue. It is proposed to lay the track from the present siding in Housatonic avenue, between Hall street and Swords lane, across Housatonic avenue to grade to the brewery property. The distance is about 85 feet.
 There will be a public hearing on petition to establish a grade on East avenue, formerly Freeman street, from Banurn avenue northerly to Boston the purchase by the city of the sewer in Rusling street, and on the layout and accordance of Charron and Gre nell streets.
 An ordinance favorab1y reported by the ordinance committee which makes it an offense punishable by a fine of ST for each load, to remove turf, sand, gravel or dirt from the property of an- other will also be considered. The or dinance is presented at the instance of Zalmon Goodsen and other prominent residents of the North End, who have suffered from depredations of this char acter on their property. At present their only remedy is a civil suit and it is believed the ordinance really covers a loop hole in the present statutes.
 The ordinances making the minimum pay of city employees $2 per day and creating the position of assistant su- perintendent of machinery in the fire department at a salary of $1, 400 per year. will also be considered. These matters have been favorab1y reported by the ordinance committee of the Council

ule between a. m and 9:3o a. m. and between p. m. and 7:3O D. m. The order does not become effective until December 1.
 The order of the commission follow ed two public hearings on the petition of the improvement association for better trolley service. The company has contended that the road is barely paying expenses and that it could only operate more cars at a. loss. Tn nak- ing the order the commission said that ordinarily it would not feel justified in ordering the company to supply ser vice at total loss over it's entire lines. But in this case, a company atempt- ing to operate line of street railway, a distance of eight miles and fulfill it's charter obligations by running a single car under a headWay of one hour and twenty minutes, will never develop the possibilities of the company or give satisfactory service to the patrons along it's line.

NORTH END PEOPLE
 DISSATISFIED WITH
 COMMISSION ORDER
Trolley Service at Half Hourly Interval Not Ample, They Claim.

Although the Public Utilities com mission has ordered the Bridgeport and Danbury Railway company to op- crate more cars on it's line, the mem bers of the North End improvement association are not quite satisfied with the increase in service ordered by the commission. Nicholas Tesiny, presi- dent of the association, said today:
 'The increase in service ordered by the commission will help some, of course, but it is not the service we ex- pected. We want the same car ser vice that other sections Of Bridgeport enjoy. Ours is a rapidly growing com munity and we should have at least service as good as that given the people in the Stratf1eld section. The North End Improvement association intends to keep the agitation until we get the public service and improve ments to which we are entitled

METCALF STICKS
 TO HIS ORIGINAL
 PLEA NOT GUILTY

Providence. R. T., Oct. 2O.-ward P. Metca1f, indicted for misrepresentation of more than $2o0,Ooo and conspiracy in connection with the failure of the Atlantic National Bank, of which he was president did not change his orig inaI plea of not guilty to the first in dfctment when he appeared before Judge Brown in United States court today. He had been given until today to make change. He was not asked to plead to the three additional indict- ments returned last Thursday charg- ing conspiracy.
 At the request of United States At torney Stines, the court mol pressed the seventh count in the first in dictment which covered more accu- rately in one of the later indictments. The Traders National Bank of Lowell. which was closed today, figured in one of the principal transactions alleged to have been illegal in the indictments returned against Metcalf and four New York brokers and promoters.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 AND ITS ENGINEERS
 REACH AGREEMENT
Seniority Rule Will Be Main tained and Threatened Strike Is AVefted.

The threatened strike of the New Haven road engineers and hren1en has been aVerted after two weeks confer ence between the officials of the road and the conference committee of the brotherhoods of locomotive engineers and firemen. It is stated that the new agreement ends annicably the long controversy, as the question of ap- peals from dismissal having been set tied, all the other points in con troversy will be amicabIy adjusted.
 The principal fight was over the seniority rule, which remains un- changed. The roads officials strove to have this rule changed in the .in- terest of safety so that the selection of engineers would not rest upon the seniority rule, but upon a plan devised by General Manager Bardo. The con ference committee of the engineers would not listen to that proposition, insisting that the seniority rule, which had been in force on the road for years, made ample provision for the appointment of only competent engi- neers. They faced President Elliott with that claim and the railroad of fcials were made to understand that the men would strike before they would surrender. The road, it is tsated here, finally yielded.
 Under the new rules an engineer must have had at least two years ex- DGT16nCS DGIOT6 ne IS 011S1Ol0 to take out through express trains, instead of one year as heretofore.
 Officials of the road state, pending the making public of the new rules, that they are practically the same as those in force on the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Lackawann@ and other Eastern roads. A vision test has been included in the examination | for promotion to engineer.
 The road makes this statement on | the matter:
 After several conferences betweeen a committee representing the engi- neers and fremen and one represent | ing the management, rules were
 agreed to which will be issued at | once.
 .sThis schedule embraces all the
 principles for which the management contended, as well as all the safe guards against possible nnisinterpre-
 tation for which the men contended.
 s"The outcome is satisfactory to both management and men. It was not possible that it could be other wise where safety only was involved. | The management is assured that it 1 is to have the earnest cooperation of
 the men, as well as the organizations | in bringing about not only a safe but | an improved service. It accepts thIs
 assurance in good faith.
 With men and management in &C., cord in a common purpose, the out come should not be in doubt.''
