''CIiff" Is Worried Because Lynn Kept
 Bond Issue Down
And Now the Administra- tion Is Afraid That All Sewers Ordered Can't Be Built.

Sewer work in Bridgeport except that which must be completed to per- init of the laying of permanent pave istration. Mayor Clifford B. Wilson said today:
 Sewers already ordered constructed by the Common Council will aggregate close to $75,O00, and we have available for such purposes in the city treasury about $35, 900. There is no possible way of securing more funds until the Board of Appor ttonment meets later in the year.
 We shall construct sewers under the streets where permanent paving demands that this be done, but the committee will be compelled to hold up indefinitely the remaining work or dered by the council.
 T regret exceedingly that Rep. Lynn W. Wilson when the orgiinal bill was introduced in the legislature calling for $100,000 saw fit to cut out all but $20. 900. journeyed to Hartford sew er7al times while the measure was up and saw Rep. Wilson personally: I said: Lynn, I wish you would leave us something and he finally consented to $20,000 which was inserted in the bill and passed. We were barred from getting the necessary s100, GOO for sew CT bonds notwithstanding the fact that the Buckingham administration issued $100,00 for the same purpose covering 8 period of 50 years whereas our pro- ject covered only ten years time"

Democratic Tariff Bill
 Is Before the Senate
eContinued from Page 1.1

Slantla1 reducL1onS made all along the line on cotton and wooIen goods,wear- ing apparel of every description, on crockery. household Furnishings and utensils, hardware and similar pro- ducts of our factories, will remove considerable part of the burden of tar1n taxation now borne by the farm CT, as well as the dweller in the city and the laborer in the factory, fields and mines.
 The sugar and wool schedules are left unchanged as to free sugar and free raw wool but reductions by the Senate committee in wool tops and yarns are explained and sweeping re- auctions in the metal schedule are treated in tn ereport with considera ble comment. Pig iron, ferro manganese and other products were placed on the free list and the report says:
 s9The House bill places iron ore up- on the free list mainly because it was found that the domestic supply was largely controlled by the United States Steel corporation and for the purpose of aiding the independent iron and steel manufacturers in their conpetf- ton with this monopoly.
 For similar reasons the committee on finance thought the ferro managa- nese should also be placed upon the free list. The United States Steel corporation largely controls the do- mestic ore out of which ferro manga
 
 the manufacture of steel, is produced. Tins corporation is the only producer of ferro manganese in this country but produces it only for it's own use and consumption. It was thought un- der these conditions Just that the in- dependent competitors of this mon-' opoly should be permitted to import this high-priced alloy free of duty, and that with iron ore and ferro manga nese on the free list domestic coInpeti- ton would be strengthened and the price of the finished products of iron and steel would be eventually 1ower- ed.'.
 Concerning the general revision the Senate committee says that following the leading of the House it has soHght4h the amendments it proposes toathe House bill, stos further carry out and perfect the theory of establishing a revenue producing tariff upon the basis of competitive rates as a just and fair interpretation in the light Of existing conditions of the latest au- thoritative utterances of the party in power upon that subject and now sub- nifs the results of it's labors with the confident belief that enactment into law of the house bill as amended will result in a more equitable distribution Of the burdens and incidental benefits of our system of customs taxation; that it will tend to disintegrate the monopoIies built up under the present system: that it will enlarge opportun- itv through individual effort, reduce the cost of living and relieve the peo- pie from the burdens of the protective system strikingIy exemp1ihed in the so- called Payne-Aldrich bill which this measure is intended to supersede.
