ARE IN PATH OF NEW
 STREET LAYOUT
Harry Taylor's, Huber's and Other Historic Business
 Places May Go.

One of the oldest and most widely known eating places, in New England 1 will be eliminated if the City Plan 1 Commissions scheme for a new road 1 way from State street diagona11y to the junction of Fairfield avenue and Water street is carried out. The lay 1 out of the proposed new street will l take away most of the building which ie snow known far and wide as Harry 1 TayIor's.''
 This famous English chop house has been in existence nearly 50 years i Thomas Lowe, an Englishman, estab- 1is4led it. It is said that more Bass ale is sold from the wood in Taylor s than in any other place in, America. Harry Taylor acquired the business more than a score of years ago and conducted it until his death. His sons, Joe and Harry. now carry on the bus mess.
 Part of the candy store of Jacob Huber, next door, another business landmark on the street, also will be taken. This business was established 50 years ago. by Francis J. Freyler, who is now proprietor of the Fairfield cafe A part of the building in which Thomas Flynn conducts the. Connecti- cut cafe will also be taken to make up the new street. As all these various stores enjoy a prosperous business
 
 that they will ask heavy damages. Property of Charles B. Buckingham in Main and Wall streets is also to be taken.
 The proposed layout of the street will take off the stores now occupied by the Waldorf shoe company, Ly- mans optical store which has been leased to Harvey & Lewis of Hartford, the photograph gallery of Henry J, See1eH and portions of the Peoples Savings Bank building. It will also take off a portionaof the Foster, Besse & Co- building in Bank street and the building in which J. w. Connors. con ducts a saloon. The old Star Garden now operated as branch of the Bridgeport Christian Union win be sliced off as well.
 In Wall street the building occupied By Lang's pawn shop will have to come down. This is one of the oldest build ings in the city as is the building at State and Main streets. Coming through into Water street the propos- ed thoroughfare will find an outlet through the store now occupied by Birnbaun Brothers, liquor dealers.
 The proposed layout may be seen at the city clerks office. The latter is sending notices to all parties in in terest to appear at the public hearing on May Is.

STOCK MARKET
C~eC~~AO~~


 New York, May. 4.-Opening- -spe- cialties of various descriptions inc1ud- ing Mexicans munitions, shipping shares and the distiIling issues, scored material gains in the first half hour of todays moderate trading. Indus trial Alcohol was the foremost feature, rising over five points. with two for Mexican Petroleum and one to almost two for Crucible Steel Baldwin and American Locomotives and Stude- baker. A5Anaconda also rose a point and the marines made partial recov- cry from yesterdays heaviness, with large dealings in the preferred. Read ing and New York Central improved, !, but Canadian Pacific was fractiona5iY lower.
 Noon Gains were generally for feited before the end of the first hour and in some notable instances sub stahtiaI losses were substituted. The reversal was traceabIe to weakness of the marines and selling of other active stocks occasioned by adverse rumors regarding the Berlin situation. Marine preferred and common yielded 2.1s and 3 1z respectively, from their early naximums, the decline resulting, pre- sumab1y, from wide. opposition to the last read djustment plan of the preferred shareholders committee. Later these losses were partly retrieved with fur t11er advances for Mexicans while United Fruit rose points. Bonds were steady
