 COLLECTION BID 
Shades Contractors Present Figure By 26 Gents a Ton
 For 10 Years.
KING LOW ON ONE
 AND FIVE YEAR BIDS
Boardo Health Adjourns to Next Tuesday to Make
 Award of Contract.

The Burns Co.,. contractors, were low bidders for the ten year contract for the collection of garbage accord ing to figures opened by, the board, Of l contract and supply and the board of health in joint meeting at city hall to- l day.
 John T. King, the Republican 1ead-
 CT, was the low bidder for a contract
 for one and five years. The board of health decided not to award the con ftract, today, but adjourned to next Tuesday, when the board will have a special session.
 Theodore B. Ford, former public l utilities commissioner, is one of the chief owners of The Burns Go. The relations of Ford and King, in politi- cal. life, often have been strained. l King cut his present price of $2.32 per ton by 26 cents, on his bid for a ten year term, but he was 2 cents above the Burns Co.'S bid for that kperiod N
 The contract; during the last decade. has brought into King about 8 quarter of million dollars.
 All of the bids offered by MT. King were lower than the present price of $2.32 per net ton, under which he col lects the garbage. In fact, all except sonesof the bids of the Burns Go. were lower. Ssa.z4
 Charles G. Fischer of. New York and Pennsylvania who owns the plant where the garbage is reduced, sub mitted bids on the one, five and ten year contract. proposition. All his bids were higher than the others and above the present. price exeept his bid on the ten year contradt which was $2.31 per net ton, just one cent lower.
 The bids were opened in the order they were received. Mr.. King had offered his bid earliest at 11:45 o'clock.
 He bid $2.28 cents per net ton on g yearly contract which is four cents per ton less than he is receiving at present. On the five years contract he bid $2.14 per ton and for the ten year contract he. bid i$2.O6 per ton- The bid of the Burns Co. was opened next. It was s2.45 per ton for the year contract; $2.20 for the five years and g. .O41 for the ten-year contract. The last bid was lowest on the ten-year contract.
 per ton for one year; $2. 38 for five years and s2.31 for ten years
 pr. R. J. Lynch, president of the that it was the policy of the board to turn all bids over to the commissions of the various departments unless they wanted them considered by the board. President Stevens of the Board, of Health said that he thought his board would rather award the contract and on motion of Attorney William L.. Zepp, seconded by Dr. Edward Mon ahan, it was decided to award the contract at the meeting of the Health Board to be held next Tuesday night.

LAWS PENALTY HAS NO TERROR,
 SAYS o. H. KING

|
 e"The law can do no more to me than I have done to myself,'' said Attorney. Clitus H. King to a Far mer reporter at. the county jail to- day. When I left Bridgeport T went to Hartford believing that I could there raise funds to straight en out my indebtedness and make restitution for all I owed. I firm ly believe I could do this but I failed and then it seemed that the only course left me was to go away among strangers and in some other part of the country to get money to make restitution
 gs'I was away ten weeks during which travelled as far west as St. Louis tried to sell books and I returned here when I found thaF I could not earn enough money elsewhere to make good my de- Hnquences Just after left Bridgeport lived in New York un- til grew beard
 After my beard grew I have sat in the Grand Central railroad station in New Y ork city on~at least ten occasions and watched per- sons from Bridgeport and vicinity who knew me well pass and yet they did not recognize me.
 ls.I can only say that am glad to be back here once more-

Proposes To Girl, Aiming Rifle at Her;
 Refused, He's Arrested

New Haven, Nov. 6-Aside from the serious side which was that 9 loaded revolver was found, the police cannot help smiling over the seventh arrest on the charge of carrying con cealed weapons since the shooting of Detective Dorman. In this instance Anna Swonkut0, a domestic com plained that A. Rudolph Stag, who had been keeping her company, was annoying her; that he sent her a bou- Quet with a, note attached saying that if she refused to marry him the flow CTS would be placed on her grave girl and tried to get her consent to marry,at the end of q gun. She put him out and Stag poked the gun through the kitchen window and per sisted in his threats. Last night, Anna said, Stag told her that she would be dead by Sunday. The police found a, loaded revolver behind a clock in Staz's room.

SEE TREACHERY l. IN COMMISSION PLAN SITUATION Extraordinary Requirement As To Vote Intended to
 Defeat Project. WILSON NAMES HIS
 SPECIAL COMMITTEE But Their Work May Be In Vain Because of Joker
 in Bill.

Like bombsh ell into the camp. of the Commission Government league. last night, came the opinion of City Attorney William H. Comley. that there is doubt if the vote of Nov. 2 draw 8 commission government char ters He suggests that an action should be brought to make a case for. the courts. In this way it can be de- terTnined whether the joker in the bill is effective or not.
 The opinion came to the common son named his commission charter committee.
 The basis of the city attorneys 8 opinion is the language of the com mission government act. which is so framed as to create the impression that a majority of the persons voting are required before a committee can be raised.
 A court can wipe out this doubt. though it is a very real one, the pres ence of which must have been we'll known to the administration and its friends
 The usual way adopted for alkiIIing matters requiring 1egisIation, where the public demand is too strong is to AEOSCa A11pOSS1Bl6 COnQluOnS. 1n1S was openly attempted by a require ment that at least 6 o per cent of the electorate must vote upon the plan
 Such a requirement. is not made fer the adoption of constitutional amend ments, for the election of a, governor or for the choice of presidential elec- t1ons. The requirement. of majority of those voting is yet more severe Mayor Wilson received / little more than third of the vote. He would never have been elected at all, had a majority of all those voting been re- Qruired. l.
 The feeling was widespread in Com mission government circles today, that the movement has been victim fzed by treachery of the most despicabIe char acter, the responsibility for which. embodied in legislation as it is. can. probably, never be traced home to the individuals involved
 The comms ssion named to draw the charter, is as nfo1iows:
 John S. Pullman, Republican, for noer city attorney and former. judge of the city court
 Hamilton S. Shelton, Republican, president of the Connecticut National bank.
 Guy P. Miller, Republican, former alderman from the Fifth district and treasurer of the Bridgeport Brass Co
 Frederick D. Bakef, Democrat, for mer police commissioner.
 C. D. s. Miller, Democrat, former police commissioner and presidential the American Tube & Stamping Co.

The Barnum & Bailey show is near ly all under cover in winter quarters today. The circus men were busy un- til long after midnight getting the animals safely housed without esca pc in the transfer to their winter quar- ters.
