THE BAND STAND WRECKED. In the gale
of Friday morning, June 9Th, about 745 o'clock,
maple tree on the Court and Spring streets
corner of the schoolhouse common came down
with crash, that was heard all over the
neighborhood, Selwyn Thompson was within
a few feet of the tree on the Spring street
walk when it fell and thought for brief space
his way. The tree broke off at the trunk near
the ground without tearing up space Of over
two feet Of earth in diameter and crashed into
the band stand, breaking down the railing, the
supports for the electric lights and damaging
the stand itself. The band stand was erected
some years ago by the Belfast Improvement
Society. and has been used by political and
other speakers - we'll as for the much ENJOY

THE CONSOLIDATION REFERENDUM WAS
 AN IMPROPER USE OF THE POWER

~w%TE REGENT effort at district consolidation, 1 which failed through the crude man ner in which the legislation attempted to ac- conaplish it. was initiated by an informal refer endum, with respect to which Attorney John O.. Chamberlain, whose suit served to expose the faultiness of the consolidation statute, says
 s'As conducted, this the consolidation was not proper subject for a referendum. As I understand it, that is proper only when the en- tire body of the people in community have q common interest,".
 Mr. Chamberlain is correct. The referen- dunn is a form of legislation enacted directly by the people The other conditions of legislation remain unchanged
 The people of a city may legislate for that city, but not for another. The people of a state may legislate for that state but not for another.
 The people of Stratford may legislate for Stratford and the people of Bridgeport for Bridgeport, but neither of them can legislate for the other.
 The consolidation referendum was not proper to submit to the whole people of the city, because the question is one which can only be decided by the state, especially in the ab- senee of an agreement between the districts.
 Bridgeport is not single community for purposes of consolidation, but is a town1With territorial and governmental existence, in which has been created city, with interde- pendent territory and obligations.
 One district of the city cannot vote the other half into new arrangement, any more than one town, can consolidate with another by its sole action, or even by the action of both.
 To accomplish such a consolidation the power of the sovereign is necessary, which in this case can only. be the power of the state of Connecticut
 The situation between the first and sec ond districts is about this. Some years ago they agreed to do certain things in common, and not to do certain things in common. Neither can change that agreement But the state can change it, either with a referendum to both parties, or with no referendum to either
 But if a referendum were to be ordered by the legislature, it ought to be to both districts just Mir Chamberlain says, each with veto

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-07-23

=. VII Ds be effectively Bridgeport Standard
 If the contracts are legal the wrong com mitted under them can be completed. Nobody has the least objection to the contracts simply because they are illegal. But their illegality is attempted to be proved that the wrong may not be accomplished. Many things are wrong which are not illegal. But when wrong things are illegal they can often be prevented.
 It Is wrong to let contracts involving the expenditure of large sums of money to favored bidders, and through unusual channels. The city does not receive due protection under the contracts that were made, whether they are 1e- gal or Illegal.
 It will take something more than proof of legality to stop the criticism which the paving scandal has caused.
 The legal questions involved in the pav- ing contract would seem to be very simple The general rule is that a municipality in doing it's business must obey the charter When the charter directs thing to be done in certain way, it must be done in that way
 The charter says that no expenditure shall be made and no debt contracted unless there is an appropriation to meet it.
 The plaintiff in the paving case asserts that $160,OO0 worth of macadam repairs have been contracted for and that no such sum has been appropriated for such purpose.
 1t is further contended that it is intended to use the proceeds of a bond issue which has been authorized for the construction of pave ment other twaterbound macadam' and it is claimed that the money intended for the con- struction-of new pavement not waterbound ma cadam, cannot be diverted to the repair of wa terbound Tnacadam.
 The charter says that the paving commits sion shall have supervision of the laying of all permanent pavement and of making contracts for the same. The injunction proceedings in part rests upon the theory that Warrenite is a permanent pavement, and that the council nor

THE STAY-AT-HONIEs

NT O MATTER how widely the summer va ~ cation habit spreads, there is always Ia steadfast section of the population who almost never travel With some persons it is natural lack of .wanderlust." Others can't quit their job, or think they can't. Some lack the price of the railroad ticket. But anyway, these stay at-homes have stability that one must admire The man who turns up every week day in the year at his place of labor or business may lack the broadening culture of travel. But there is splendid discipline in his regular habits Of work.
 Usually he becomes a good deal of a phil osopher He finds that even his own home town is world by itself, theatre of absorbing com edy and tragedy The sun shines just as bright, the oxygen is just as stimulating here as anywhere. As far happiness goes that is not matter of location or movement, but capacity for taking an interest in the human life around us.
