After having used one-third of the S175,oOO bond issue voted by the peo- pie of Bridgeport in a referendum election for. the construction Of an alrashouse, members of the chaT1ties board, in a secret session held yes +eraav afternoon, threw up their hands and admitted 'eit can't De done''
 They can't put any roof on the aInshouse and the city's poor Will have excellent surroundings of brick walls but no shelter from the e4e- ments. One commissioner. however takes a philosophical view of the mat ter and says the state laws will compel the taxpayers to provide TOT tne poor.
 souandering thousands in an aim less. shiftless and heartless way-con- sidering the ones who will suner-the e administration has already let $61. .OOO of the $175,ooO bond issue SIP through it's fingers and it has noun ing to show for it but the uneom- pleted first story of the almsh ouse and that has been robbed of all super for materials.
 There'N be no roof for the aims house then, unless the taxpayers come to the help of the administration. Tbat1 was admitted by several of the commissioners yesterday who :. touno a they. will have to meet $4osoOo plumbing bill in connection with the job. That added to $61,OoO makes the bond issue look ill
 It became necessary also' at the meeting to virtually sever SS1 tions with the c. O. S.-Charities Or eanizat ton Society. The admin1stra- ton has been allowing the public charities; to, be dominated by outside means, it was alleged, and this had to be remedied.
 Discussion, said at times to be more or less heated and to have a direct bearing upon the great expenditures already made at the new almshouse' with a view to demanding that these be curbed wherever possible, oeVelT oped the fact that with the pullolng raised to only one story aooVe the ground it has already cost approxi- nateIv s61 600 out of a total appro- priation of s175, ,O00, a large part or which expense has gone towards grading" and attempts to crush stone. which attempts were apan- doned.
 That the building as contemplated. even with the many changes for econ- onav that have previously been made, cannot be completed under the appro- propriation now ct hand IS the opinion of more than one of the cornnnlssion- CTS who are now confronted by ser1- ous problems for which the city must eventuallv nav. Tn the reported words of one charities department official to- day, the city will pay because there Is a state law which says the c1ty shall care for it's poor.
 As a matter of record it was or dered in public session that the clerk of the Charities Department convey to the c. O. S. that "the department considers itself supreme in all public oh arities matters
 It was said to-day that this deter mination means a severance of nearly all connection with the c. O. S. and that in future the superintendent has been instructed to interview app1i- cants for city charity and to have ! their cases investigated by the city in-

OL LYMPIC BAND MAY BE PART OF
 NAVAL MILITIA

Members of the Olympic band of this city are greatly interested in an order to organize a band issued to Eben Hill, Jr., commander of the Ma General. The musicians of the bank think it possible their organization may be selected and a special meet ing of the. band to take action in the matter will be called for tonight or tomorrow night at the Musicians Union hall in Cannon street.
 John J. Broadbrook is manager of the Olympic band. The order from the adjutant general calls for one bandmaster and 16 musicians. The Olympic band of Bridgeport has 24 members.
 An effort will be made to interest Lieut.. A. J. Merritt, commanding off, cer of Naval Reserves of this city and stoC persuade him to use his efforts to have the local band selected. The Olympic band is rapidly becoming g known throughout the state as lead ing musical organization. It has been designated by the park commis- sioners for a share of the park con cert work here this summer.
 There is band in New Haven known as the Marine band but it's members are not enlisted. in the Naval militia as are the other Connecticut National Guard bands. It is the in
 
 ties to have an enlisted band with the Naval militia. Members Of the OIym- pic band have been told that the New Haven bandmen are not keen about enlisting and therefore they think they will receive favorable consider atiop if they offer their services.
 If the Naval Reserve band is Iocat- ed in Bridgeport there will be two military bands here, the Coast ArtiI- 1ery Corps band, now one of the fore most bands of the state has been with the local Coast Artillery Corps of the state for ten years.

 A commissioner of charities today said: ''The meaning of our ruling or yesterday is simply this: We do not want the c. O. s. to be the official investigators for the City of Bridge port, for we have our own staff
 The decision comes as a. result of a conference between 8 committee of the department and one from the c. [ o. s. There had been a series of con flicts between Spencer R. Gordon or lfhe department and Secretary Lseet B. Myers of the c. O. 8.
 Mayor Wilson is said to have been irresponsible for bringing John R. Mo Lean, head of the National Charities Organization societies here in an ef- fort to patch up the differences and to arrange a basis of work between the public and private charities de- partments which had become closer related in this city than elsewhere in the country. The eyes of many charity associations in the United States had looked with interest up on the inter-relation and it was hop ed that some satisfactory arrange two departments might still work in harmony
 Mclean unhesitatingly chopped authority from both sides and finally formulated a set of eight rules to govern the conduct Of the two de- partments, which were accepted yes terday by the board of charities as a. basis for further joint work. These make it plain that the city department is to be supreme in all official inxes- tigations, that the c. O. s. will have the privilege of referring needing pub lie aid to the departm ent; the depart ment will have the privilege of asking the c. O. S. to take cases deemed 'econstructive'' under their care; that the city will take care of all non-sup= port and desertion casesi that the de- partment will take care of all inter state cases; and that a sub committee of each will meet monthly that they may straighten out any tang@es. a
 In relation to the new almshouseE it has been disclosed that payments made by the board to date aggregate about $61,0OO. Of this sum nearly one half has been paid to the Osca- wanna Building Go, upon it's con= tracts amounting to approximately $3o 900. Another $5,OOO has gone to the architects Skinner & Walker w. s'Il were to get 5 per cent. on the tcNSll of $175,00o and the balance has been spent for the purchase of sand, crush ed stone, excavation and grading.
 It is admitted today by President F. w. Behrens that the building can scarcely be completed under the ap- propriation already granted, but it is denied by him that it will not get be- yond the roof, before work has to stop unless additional funds are rais ed. In explaining that the great amount already spent on excavations it is saids- much unexpected rock was encouu- tered" On the other hand it is as- serted that some money will vet b6 returned from the Oscawanna Co- for the purchase of sand and rock.
