MAYOR WILL SON BIDS CODE HE MADE GOOD BYE Paste Pot and Shears Not Successful As Writers
 of Building Law BUT LIFTED" CODE
 COST CITY MUCH New Committee Named to Prepare Code Adapted to
 Use of Bridgeport

Another page in the history of the building code for Bridgeport was turn ed today. when Mayor Wilson ap- pointed another committee to prepare a new one.
 Thus his honor gave the coup de grace to the building code which long has languished on tho table of the Common Council
 This was 9 pretty code. It cost the taxpayers several thousand dollars, and was 4abori iously written with a pair of shears and some patent paste. after a. committee, of which the mayor was a member, had struggled with the subject over many months, and through many hearings.
 The mayor was an alderman at the time. but this did not prevent him sharing in the generous compensation which. the tax payers re1uctantiy gave up to him and others down whose brows the sweat of labor rolled.
 After this code appeared, it was read in the office of The Farmer, with the result that it was perceived to have been taken almost bodily from the code of the city Of Cleveland, and from code prepared under the st1- of the United States, and strictly for the purpose of making profits from fire insurance premiums greater.
 Cleveland is a larger city than Bridgeport, and the code being so largely taken from that comm unity. was not we'll adapted for use in Bridgeport In fact, some sections of 1t were impossible, and the ordinance excited such general surprise and opp position that zt has rerr1aiz1ed some five years in the condition in which the committee left it.
 The coming attempt has been con- hded by the mayor to Architects Jo- seph w. Northrop, Ernest G. Soufhey. Building Commissioner William s. Bowling. William Muirhead. Attorney David S. Day, and City Attorney Will liam H. Cornley. The committee win hold it's first meeting. Friday night <
 This committee is expected to lay aside paste and shears and make a code in the regular way.

ICE JAM BLOCKS
 THE HUDSON RIVER
Coal Famine Threatens and Sugar Refinery May
 Shut Down

New York, Feb. 18-The ice block ading the Hudson river between New York and Yonkers remained intact to- day. A coal famine threatened Yon- kers and HOO men employed at the Federal Sugar Refinery there faced the prospect of id1eness unless the Blockade was raised before the redn- cries used up their rapidly diminish ing supplies of fuel and raw material.
 Captain John F. Wild, district com mander of the United States revenue service reported to Washington to- day that the ice had resisted the at tacks of the cutter that tried to force a channel No attempt to use dyna- mite will be made. The surface of the river was jammed with broken ice cakes from 160th street in this city north to where solid sheet ice began
 Such an ice jam is unusual in the waters near New York and there are no icebreakers in the local harbor.
 The ferryboats between New York and New Jersey ploWed through drift ice but their frequent trips kept the channels free. The lower harbor pre- sented an Arctic appearance today. The upper and lower bays weTe cov- cred with ice and incoming steamers found navigation slow and dangerous. The health officers found great diff cllIty in boarding incoming liners
