Is the first principle taught in all na- tions in the business world or the world Of sport. The steps taken by these interested parties to force this sewer system upon the taxpayers or the city means that every taxpayer in tho city will be obliged to pay an unnecessarily heavy yearly tax to help build and support this unwar- ranted and uncalled for theoretical sewer system. Would you call the above condition fair play to the citi- zens of Bridgeport2 Ninteen hundred voters mostly taxpayers, voted against building this sewer system and in converse ton many of these taxpayers are of the opinion that un- fair means by interested parties have been resorted to, to intimidate a large number Of voters by fear of court de- cisions and by strong personal inf1- ence, to vote for this unwarranted sewer system. This is against the peoples sense of right and their hnan- ciaI interests. If the citizens were in- ffuenced by their reasoning. based upon information that has been placed before them, about this sewer prob lem, a large majority of the voters would vote Mol

Certainly the state of Connecticut does not want to assess or collect moneys in this man ner from the people of it's cities and towns. In case the sewer bonds are defeated by a vote of the taxpayers, 1t has been stated that the chairman of the board of apportion1n ent will Immediately call the members of the board together and lay an extra, tax or 8 mills upon the grand list of the city for commencing the building of this unnecessary theoretical sewer system. If these interested parties can also influence the board of appor- uonment to lay this extra mill tax, in opposition to a majority vote of the people of the city, it would be hun dred times better for the future inter ests Of the taxpayers to have the schemes of these interested parties carried out, completed and paid for at once"

Attempt Experiment On City Means Heavy Tax in Years ome-Gheaper to Pay Fine, He Declares

< '
 zalraon Goodsen today closed his discussion Of the attempt to infiicd a $5 oOO 600 sewer system on Bridgeport. in an interesting interview, in whscn he shows how the advocates Of this extravagant plan have unscrupulous- ly sought to advance it.
 Aar Goodsen said:
 Most men fear to express their thoughts about judicial decisions In the average mans mind a legal de- cision is something they have been taught to believe should never pc questioned or investigated, and 1T men do have opposite ideas upon such question of law decisions. they dare not express candid opinion in pub lie This is a condition existing in the minds Of many men in Bridgeport to- day The courts have rendered a. de- cision fning the citizens of Bridge port $25. 900 for polluting the Pequon- mock river with a foul mass Of gar bage sewage-in case this polluung of the Pequonnock river was not rem edied before 1916. This fine was based upon the evidence placed before the courts, Out one-sided evidence given before the courts did not tell tie whole storye. Was 1t explained to the court why sewage would become in of discharge more than at several points of discharge into the same body of water?
 s.was 1t explained to the court that the extending of the: outlets of the present several sewers below tide wa results in the distribution of said sew age than concentrating and discharg- ing this large quantity of sewage at one point below tide water in the Pe- quonnock river?
 ssThe court was not informed that fr,fv ,f% reduction of 50 tons of garbage every day was being discharged at the head of the PeQuonnuock river. Neither was the court informed that if incin- erating plants were built and this 50 tons of garbage was destroyed by in- lscineration. the polluting Of the Pe- ouonnock river by this foul garbag age sewage would have been mostly re- moved and the forcing Of the citizens | of Bridgeport by a decision of Law to commence building $5.000.O GOO theo- retica1 sewer system would have been avoided.
 ''If the evidence given before the court had been complete in all details, isn't it natural to suppose that the court would have ordered the build ing of incinerating plants as proposed by the board of health for the burn ing of garbage and thereby remove this sewage pollution from the Pe- quonock river? Instead. these inter- ested parties recommended that the court order this consolidated mass of sewage to be dumped into the same river at a more central point as re- gards population.
 .NThe courts were organized with the intent that where differences of opinion arose among men, the court should hear the whole and not a part of the evidence to be submitted, and then ask the court for an equitable
 xF~4- brought litigation before the courts for fear the vote of the people would defeat their scheme of forcing upon the taxpayers of the city of Bridge port an unwarranted and uncalIed for theoretical sewer system. Fair play

 Mrs. Rosenfhal To Testify.
 Mrs Lillian Rosentha1, widow of 49,e slsau gambler whose death placed Charles Becker within the shadow of the electric chair was ready today to relations that existed between her husband and the lieutenant of police two years ago.
 Although some doubt was expressed whether she will be called at this par zicular time. it is declared that Mrs. enss stand before District Attorney .lvhitu1an closes the states case
 MrE HosenthaE is ready, and even eager to testify When called, her story will be interesting corroboration of Pack Rpse's tale of a split an the friendly relations that once existed between the gambler and the police.
 Mrs. Rosenthal will tell in detail how she begged her husband on the night hs was murdered not to leave fine house. but that he laughed at her fears for his safety
 Feared For Ills Life.
 She win describe the home life she and her husband led in the last few weeks ne was alive, and will speak Inf his conversations with her in which he expressed fear of sitting near che windows in the ground floor of fhelr house, because he dreaded an assAssin's bullet
 while not bearing directly on the actual murder plot, it Is nevertheless axpec4ed that Mrs. Rosenthalss ap- peararsce on the witness stand will attract an even greater crowd to the court room than did the presence in court of the bald headed ex-gambler and stool pigeon, Jack'' Rose
