 IN BRIDGEPORT
Old Cars Will Be Eliminated for ''Pay-As- -You-Enter'
 Type Soon.

The high step trolley car will go. Officials of the Connecticut Go. are now planning to reconvert the large jumbo cars into the "Pay-As-You- Enter" type, both for economy and convenience.
 With the purchase of 90 new cars, sanctioned by the trustees of the company. likely to arrive for various cities in Connecticut at any time, it is believed that Bridgeport will be fla yored with a large share. Hartford and New Haven will also see these cars on the streets with the prospect of minor cities being supplied at a later date.
 Uniformity in design will be aim of the company and it is predicted that car shops throughout the state will be busted during the entire win ter converting the present cars so that they may, become both summer and winter conveyances.
 The open type of car is likely to be entirely superseded by the converti- bIe type as now used in New York. Philadelphia and other large cities throughout the United States. Side seats will also be eliminated, accord ing to a high trolley official, the public favors the forward method of sea ting in cars.

 Extinguished Luminaries.
E-traI Extra!


 Exceedingly amusing to folks cog nizant of municipal politics within the last few years was the parade, last night of the Citizens Leauge, preced- ing the rally in Warner hall. :r.
 Experts in city affairs, in days gone by, largely made up the parade They seemed -ex-uberant as they pounded the paves of the Great White Way, following in the, wake of:
 Ex- Mayor Henry Lee, candidate for mayor, who headed the procession, f1anked by,
 Elk Mayor Denis MulvihiI who kept step in the front rank with,
 Ex-C City Attorney James Marr, chairman of the Leagues legal com mittee.
 Extreme care had been Exercised by the committee in charge of the dem onstration that the parade, might show one thing, to wit: That ''Ex' is no 1onged synonymous with the algebraic unknown quantity, Folks who viewed the parade found Fix. to be a very much known quantity making up a large part of the pro- cession-for the pageant included:
 Ex-AIdernan B, |. Graves. who was a. Bull Mooser three years ago.
 Ex-Alderman George Zink, who used to be a, Republican.

 Ex-pectant ones who looked for Elk Secretary of State M. H. Rogers in the; parade were disappointed, He quiet ly Excused himself from public Ex- htbition. and, Ex-tricating himself from the forming parade took the sidewalk route to the hall.

WHO
 KILLED ROOCK
 STILL AT LARGE
Victim Was Employe at Lakeview- Threw Body
 to Roadside

As thorough investigation by the local police authorities today failed to identify the driver of the automo- bile roadster that struck and instantly killed Dudley Roock, age 55, at Sue cess avenue and Huntington Tdrnpfke shortly before o'clock last night.
 Roock was employed on the farm of Fred Galsky, formerly known as the Rundeclker F'aI&n. He had fed the cattle and crossing to the Galsky home from the barnyard, when he was struck by a low roadster oc- chpied by two young men.
 Galsky told the police today he was aroused from bed by loud voices and looking from his chamber wins dow, saw two men taking the limp form of the unfortunate man from underneath the car. He dressed hurriedly and got to the front door of his home in time to see them run ming toward their car.
 When he reached the roadway the autono bile was in motion. going in the direction of Nichols. Owing to the darkness he could not see the Ii- cense number of the automobile. He sent a call for the emergency ambu- lance. Rock was dead on the arrival of the ambulance.
 According to a survey of the scene of the accident, taken this morning by Motorcycle Policeman Clifford Gorgas, it was ascertained that the roadster had travelled fully 15O feet after striking the victim before it was brought to a stop.
 Dudley Roock and his wife, who has died since, Mnmigrated from Germany 30 years ago. Roock had been employed on farms in this sec tion until 10 years ago, when he ap- piled for sadrnission to Lakeview Home. HeSwould stay for the winter and in the springtime would leave and get work on some nearby farm. In the winter season he would apply for admission to the town farm.
 Dr. J. J. Mcdonald, superintendent of Lakeview Horne, says Roock was a valuable man at the Institution He had charge of the storing of the veg etab1es raised on the town farm truck gardens and was an experienced farmer. He seldom mingled with the other inmates of the farm. Had he occasion tozdemand a fresh supply of tobacco he would wait until he found the superintendent in an out-of-the way part Of the farm and then make a requisition.
 Superintendent Mcdonald has deed for a burial plot in St. Mich aePs cemetery drawn up in the name of the deceased wife of Roock. He has communicated with the officials of the cemetery and the grave is now being opened and Roocks will be placed beside that of his wife.

 For the $1.52 yard expended on fourteen streets, the city could have paved twice as much mileage with a concrete pavement. Only recently, the State Highway department con- tracted' for 20,OoO yards of concrete road at North Haven, and the average price, was 72 cents The concrete pavement is durable and has given general satisfaction under all weather conditions.
