To Telephone Subscribers

1t is proposed to submit to the telephone users of
wheeling and adjoining towns in West Virginia plan to
combine the systems of the Central District Telephone
Company and the Consolidated Telephone Company of
West Virginia.
The advantages of enc telephone system in a commu-
y subject to regulation by proper author
W has been proved by the experience of many cities and
communities where the establishment of single system
has suppanted the annoyance and inconvenience of two
systems.
This plan has already been submitted to the sub
scrbers IN number of cities and West Virginia
and at each place has been almost universally
If the plan is endorsed by the subscribers of both COM
panes at Wheeling and the adjacent the work of
consolidating the two systems will begin the earliest
possible date and be carried forward with the utmost dis
patch.

VICTIMS OF ICY
 SIDEWALKS ASK
 INTERPRETATIONS
Edward Lacey Has Been In valid Nearly 7 Months,
 He Declares.

Three months in a bed in the
 with his right leg in plaster cast, six
 weeks on two crutches, three weeks
 on one crutch and now forced to use
 two canes to go about-such has been
 the experience of Edward Lacy of
 964 Park avenue, who, last winter fell
 on an icy sidewalk in Courtland street.
 His thigh is broken.
 MT. Lacy, who is represented by
 Judge Alfred B. Beers, appeared be-
 fore the claims committee of the common council last night asking $3,- 900 damages. He is 63. Dr. E. c.
 Buckmiller, who was house surgeon
 at the Bridgeport hospital at the time
 MT. Lacy was injured, told the com
 mittee that the fracture occurred at
 the division of what is known as the
 upper and middle thirds of the femur. Such a fracture is considered very serious injury and MT. Lacy's age is thought to have retarded recovery. For abQlt 15 minutes the committee listened to Dr. Buckmiller make a technical description of the injury and the treatment necessary to aid re- covery. The committee withheld decision.
 Mrs. Esther Lambert. wife of pr. H. B. Lambert of All State street, al- so appeared before. the committee asking $3,000 damages for a broken right leg which she suffered by fall on an sicy walk last winter. Mrs. Lambert was represented by Judge
 Beers. Dr. Philip w. Bill, who at- tended Mrs. Lambert, described her injury to the committee. The high boot which she wore on the night of the injury was also shown the com
 mittee. Mrs. Lambert, who was very
 stylishly dressed. told the committee
 how she suffered the injury. Decis- sion was also withheld until later.
 Officials of the Bridgeport Metal Goods Co. asked damages for side-I walk in front of their factory at Au- burn and Pine streets. They said a new sidewalk was laid there last fall, but owing to defective sewer wells the street was frequently flooded and auto truck drivers and teamsters in nego- tiating the street, drove over the side walk until it has been broken up and practically ruined.
 Col. T. J. Murphy, who, until re- gently was in business in Main street, just south of State street. asked for an abatement of interest on the as- sessment for the wooden block pave- ment in front of the property he for merly owned there. The colonel re- gently sold the property to the Bridgeport Savings Bank. His peti- tion will be granted.
