 Last Year Will Be Rati-
 fled Anew, and Other Streets will Be Brought
 Into the Great Carnival of
 Spending.
 The carnival of extraVaeant
 spending, we'll under way Wiah
 the Bridgeport municipal ad- Eministration, will receive
 great boom tomorrow night

 The administration plans to
 force upon the public the repu- i dfated Warrenite contracts, which were declared illegal by l the Superior court. Through 8 I 1oophole the administration
 hopes to validate these con
 tracts and to begin work with the money provided last year,
 as we'll as additional funds now
 available for street work. The Warren Bros, of Boston, will get contracts for approxi- mately 20 miles of street work. Tn addition to the $2oo.0oo bond issue of last year, which the RepubIi- cans hope to eat up in this. the last lap of the present administrations there is a half mill tax taken from the
 board of education and graEted to the
 street department for street repairs. which amounts to s57.51T. There fJ also an appropriation of $60.000 for
 ''macadam repairs-''
 The first warrenite laid ia Bridge port, that laid out Fairfield avenue
 from the railroad vdaduct to the city line and that laid in Connecticut ave
 nue from Stratfordy avenue to the
 Stratford line was laid as ''macadam

 take this other available money for
 this purpose.
