Hill has written a letter to the International Association of Machin- ists' local in this city, something to this effect:
 Tt would give me great pleasure to address the members of your union some evening on my travels in Egypt am sure they will be interested. Some of the things the alderman of the first district in Cairo told me are awfully

CONNECTICUT GO. MUST LIVE UP TO ITS OBLIGATIONS
Chamber of Commerce Pro poses to See That I'm
 provements Are Made.

Bridgeport will no longer stand for methods of procrastination in the ser vice of the Connecticut Co. Not only is it expected that the company will carry out it's implied obligations when it obtained Bridgeport's support in a petition to the Public Utilities com- mission and the legislature for an ex- tension of line to Nichols, but at the meeting of the legislature this winter the company will bc forced to make other extensions and connections about the city for the convenience of patrons
 These facts were ascertained from persons in close touch with the cham Der of Commerce, where a meeting of the transportation committee was neiu in executive session to discuss prelim- mary plans today.
 It became known that Theodore B. Ford. formerly Public Utilities com- missioner, has been retained by the committee in an advisory capacity and first matter taken up pending the ses- sions of the General Assembly.
 The first step to be taken is likely
 De d QeIlIlOu Dy 11l0TcudHCS, 1Qdnu- lecturers and residents to Mayor Will son, demanding that adequate service be rendered fin the northeast section of Bridgeport, looking towards better de- velopment of that section which is not now served.
 The belt-lfne proposition is also un- derstood to be under consideration as possible factor in the bettering of the service fin the central and middle central portions of the city. For this purpose it would be necessary to pro- cure special legislation.
 Though admitting that the commit tee met today for the purpose of dis. cussing the situation and that MT. Ford's recommendations would be transmitted to the committee through the chairman, R. w. NellleG Secretary Cove of the chamber said today that the meeting was held in executive ses. sion to arrange plans not fully com. p1eted.
