Jitney Supervision
 Soon To Be Standard

1ne commenting on the serious sit- uation growing out of the "jitney" Superintendent Birmingham called attention to the fact that under the present laws and ordinances nearly everyone may have 8 license, and that there are now many drivers tE8- llo can hardly speak the English lam guage. Prosecuting Attorney De- Laney has suggested that in waiting for passengers on public streets, jit- neys and other livery cars should be held in single lines close to the curb and away from transfsr points Of trolley cars and crosswalfzs.
 The Bridgeport Automobile club ts desirous of having, public stands inc troduced into this city as elsewhere through the country which, will fix by police order the number of livery or jitney cars that may stand ~at cer@ tain points. They are said to be willing to furnish the iron stands, and signs necessary.

NOLEN IGNORED IN GOVERNMENT
 BRIDGE HEARING
Bridge Commission Files Specifications'oa Only Its
 Own Plan.

The city of Bridgeport has made application to the office of the United States engineers at New London for approval of plans for the Stratford avenue bridge and because of this, a public hearing will be held by the government engineers at 2:3o o'clock on the afternoon of June 29.
 The plans sent to the government engineers for approval are the plans of the Stratford Avenue Bridge com mission. While this is being done, the city taxpayers may watch with humorous interest the efforts of a spe- cial committee recently appointed to decide whether or not the Bridge commission's plans are as good as those of the City Plan commission or vice versa
 Taxpayers are watching the pro- ceedings with glee. It's a fine joke on them and they appreciate it, even if it costs them $500, the amount agreed to be paid the special com mittee.
 The Bridge commission has gone ahead and carried on negotiations with the government for approval of their plans, ignoring at once the City Plan commissions project ana the efforts of the special committee to determine which is better. This is done despite the fact that at the public hearing on the matter held several weeks ago, much opposition was shown to any at tempt to select either plan without a fair study of the cost and advantages of each.
 / The engineers of the government have called another public hearing, at which members of the Bridge com mission and Mayor Wilson will be present. The plans will be exhibited in the city engineers office. The hearing will be held in the common council chamber.

 S2OO FOR FRAUD
(Continued from Page 1.)

[Continueds from Page ID
 One of his victims complained, how ever and he was arretsed.
 His counsel, in answer to the state ment> of the District Attorney, denied that there was anything more than a. technical violation by MT Baldwin, explaining that Baldwin had no in- tention of violating the United States statutes, had supposed that he had been successful in doing nothing that was prohibited, and had voluntarily ceased to use the mails and conduct the business objected to, and had no intention of continuing a business re- garding the legality of which there was any question. In view Of the ctoseness of the questions involved as looked upon by Baldwin's coun- sell this counsel to save expense had advised MT. Baldwin to plead guilty, believing that the ends of justice would be entirely served by the inn position of a fine, and that there should be no imposition of sen tence of Imprisonment.
 Counsel for MT. Baldwin, Gould 6 Gould, asserted that it was g. close case in any event, that the easiest way seemed bfor&NGr. Baldwin to plead guilty to what seemed to them to be a, technical and certainly an un1n- tentfonal violation of the law, and that this course was pursued in the belief that the fine only would be irn- Rposed upon MT. Baldwin.
