 merce ''Be for Bridgeport banquet at
 The StratfieId June 12, is awaited here with keen interest. MT. McAneny's S talk will be along@the general lines of m municipal develo pment.
 MT. McAneny is managing director of the New York Times, having re-
 signed as president of the Board of Aldermen of New York a few months ago.

He was a Democratic mem Der of the Committee of Twenty-One which prepared and secured the adop- ton of Municipal Home Rule and Civil Service sections of the New York state charter and was a member of | the committee which drafted the State Civil Service law. He had a, hand in | the revision of the New York state charter as a member of the confer l ence commission appointed by the governor As president of the Borough of l Manhattan, he won recognition for
  1 ton, during which he was called upon to solve the biggest financial and en- fgineering prb1em ever before the mu- nicipal government, that of the sub-
 way and rapid transit for Greater New l York. As chairman of the board of
 estimate he fought successfully for city planning, regulating the height, 1 size and arrangement of buildings on
 Fifth avenue, widening Fifth avenue
 and Thirty-fourth street against great opposition. He applied the rules | of good business mana cement to pub | lie office and eliminated waste and ex- i travagance in the municipal govern
 ment of New York. As a, city official,
 he consistently contended for many years for city planning in it's broadest
 sense, for provisions for health, sani- | tary housing, social life, public recrea-
 ton and for greater system and economy in city finances and revision of the city charter.
 The Chamber of Commerce is for l tunate in securing MT. McAneny to
 talk in Bridgeport at this time when 1 the city is confronted with many 1 problems not unlike some of those
 which have been met by the largest
 and most rapidly growing city in | America.
 MT. McAneny is an interesting speaker whose wide experience in mu- nicipal affairs will enable him to offer much which will be constructive.
 1 Tickets for the dinner will be one dollar and will be sold in advance on ly, to members of the Chamber of Commerce and their friends. Reser-
 vations will be made for firms and i individuals but no tickets will be sold at the door.

Apart from the timber prop CT, which is so much in demand for military purposes, the by-products are valuable, for they include tanning bark, 2turpentine and potash.
