WILL WELCOME
 WARRENITE FOR
 PAVING TONIGHT
Streets and Sidewalks Com mitee To Make Favorable
 Report To Council
TWELVE STREETS IN
 FIRST SELECTIONS
Rumored That Anderson Will Withdraw Injunction
 Against Pavement.

When the common council meets this evening it will be presented with a resolution from the streets and sidewalks committee recommending the paving with bituminous macadanA of about 12 miles of Bridgeport streets. This means that these streets which the Republican administration proposed to pave with Warrenite last year and which was prevented by in Junction proceedings now pending be- fore the courts, will eventually be paved with Warrenite if the admins traitor can have it's way.
 The streets to be paved were nam sed in Thursdays issue of The Farmer. Not all these streets will be recom- 'mended for paving unless the Repub Iican machine leaders change their plans before the special meeting of the streets and sidewalks committee that will convene before the council meets tonight. At this meeting the, program will be again gone over.
 While no action was taken at the meeting of the streets and sidewalks committee last week Mayor Wilson and some members of the committee have since had a conference and de- cided to act at once in reIetting con- tracts. The comn1tteeN has at it's dis posa1 57,000, the half mill tax which was taken rom the one mill tax TOT new schools. It also has $60,O00 al-. lowed for macadam repairs. It will be recalled that the first Warrenite laid ini this city in Connecticut and Fairfield avenues was laid under the head of temacadam repairs.
 The committee feels it can use this money even if it is not allowed to take money from the $200,ooO bond issue, $160,00 of which. it had been propos- ed to use in the contracts let last year. A charter amendment recently adopt ed specifies that the paving and sew CT com mission shall heye Jurisdiction only over the laying of pavement placed on . concrete base of Portland cement.
 There has been some question as to whether or not the members of the committee can be held for contempt
 of court if they attempt to sublet the contracts while the injunction pro-
 ceedings are still pending. It has
 been rumored that Clarence D. An derson who obtained the injunction against the Warrenite contracts, i'm tends to withdraw his action MT ] Anderson could not be located to- l day.
 The streets and sidewalks commit tee intends to let warrenite contracts 1 for the money they have available as 1 told above, and after the matter now
 before the court is settled, they vii
 let contracts for many thousand dol l lars more
 Tn all, as Mayor Wilson told the press some days ago, 20 miles oi
 Bridgeport streets are to be paved with Warrenite this summer.

White the largest crowd that ever was in St. Charles church, hacked the edifce to the doors yesterday after noon to view the confirmation by Bish- op J. J. Milan of several hundred children, four women tainted and had to be carried to the open air.
 The sudden change in the weather made the interior of the church hu- mid, and this, added to the immensity of the crowd, resulted in the partial collapse of the women. They were revived in the air, outside the church and taken to their homes.
 The church was filled to it's capacity yesterday with fathers, mothers. sis ters and Brothers who had come to witness 352 children receive the sac rament of confirmation from Bishop Milan. The class was the largest to be confirmed since the parish was form ed. Each girl attired in pure white and each boy dressed in black suit

He was examined by William l.. Bar mum of Syracuse, one of MT. Barnes counsel. Crego, in reply to questions, said that notwith tsanding the "poIitf- cal prominence heretofores' of either one or both of the principals in the ac- ton he would judge the case upon it's merits Nor would the fact, he said, that the defendant had been president New York, influence his mind
