ALDERMEN ASSERT
EAST SIDE WANTS
WHITE WAY LAMPS
Three COuncilmen From That
Side of the River Urge
Appropriations.

| Discussion of the proposed extension
of the White Way in the East Side
took up most of the time of the MEM
bers of the board Of apportionment at
| the hearing on acquisitions for the
/ coming fiscal year in the city hall last
night. Aldermen Primrose, Winter
burn and Cole who represented East
Side districts were present. They were
the first outsiders toA take part in the
meetings this year. They came not to
question but they came to favor the
extension Of the White Way IN the
East Side.
! The aldermen contended that more
than half the residents of Bridgeport
live east of the Pequononck river and
i it is now city by ITSELF Alderman
Joseph H. Stage, chairman of the
council lamps committee, has placed
in his requisition As new White Way
lights in Stratford avenue from the
bridge to East Main street and 100 in
East Main street to cost $11, 1884 .65.
Former Police Commissioner Samuel
Dave spoke in favor of the extension
| of the White Way in East Main street
to start at the railroad viaduct and
run each way for several blocks. Mr..
Dave said it would improve all bus
/ mess property in that section. He said
he was willing to pay his share of the
cost.
| The lamps committee had a total
appropriation of $S4,91S91 last year.
Chairman Stagg asks for s1O4 O34. "A
this year. The city auditor thinks
$91, 1851 will be sufficient. This does
| ont allow for the White Way in the
East Side. Before the committee last
night Chairman Stage admitted that
he does not know what the lights cost
in other cities Of the state. The arc
lights here cost 5000 each per year
for maintenance. The maintenance
charge for the White Way lights Is
| $78f7 each.
| Increased items in the reouisition of
the park board ($7O,St5 this year, $780,
OLA last year,, were explained by Pres
| 1dent Georg M. Eames as due to the
increased cost of labor. The board
also asks special appropriations Of
$4,000 for athletics dressing room and
storehouse at Seaside park, $4,000 for
equipment for new lighting system
and $4,000 for a new comfort station
at Seaside park.
Alderman Robert N. B1akeslee
/ chairman Of the council claims COM
m1ttee, explained his requisition. 1t
calls for $40, 500, the same as last year.
City Engineer A. III. Terry told the
board he did not think it was any
part Of his duty to wash the automo-
biles used in his department. He
said he has beeen washing and caring
for car that he has driven for three
years. Last year the city furnished
the city engineer with a cheap run
about, but he said it was in the repair
shop ten per cent. Of the time. He
asked $1,000 for a new car. His re-
QUESTION last year was $20,7OO, this
year it is S24,500.
Former Mayor Frank E. Clark as
sured Librarian Calhoun Latham that
it will cost $4,000 or $4,000 each to

RURAL HIGHWAY
COMMISSIONS
MUCH DISCUSSED
LEGISLATORS From Rural Dis.
tricts Keenly Interested
In Proposed Measure
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Feb. S--Keen interest
the General Assembly from the coun-
try districts in the measure proposed
by Representative Samuel s. Shaw
of Redding, which aims to create a
State Bureau of Rural Highways.
This is not so broad a. measure as
that portion of the King "Omnibus
Bill' which deals with rural high
ways and provides for $3.50 basis
of expense for state and town in the
development Of rural thoroughfares,
and for that reason, many of the
Senators and Representative who are
skeptical Of Nhe success of, the King
measure, look with more hope upon
Mr.. Shaw's measure as a means
towards bettring the rural roads,
Mr.. AShaw's bill calls for the ap-
pointment of commission of eight
one from each county, the members
of which shall serve without pay, to
act in conjunction with the selectmen
or any body Of citizens in towns seek
ing improvements in rural highways
The idea is to foster the good roads
movement in the rural communities
through campaign of education
That the movement may reach into
the uttermost corners of the state it is
stipulated in the bill that the com
mission must conduct at least one
conference each year in every one OF
the 168 towns in Connecticut; must
conduct at least two county confer
ences each year, and one state con-
ference of two days duration. 1t is
planned to work in cooperation with
oranges, farm bureaus, schools
churches, chambers of commerce, and
similar movements which may in
clude as their objects the improve
ment of rural highways.
The state highway commissioners
| office would be brought directly into
the movement, under the Shaw meas
ure. Appropriations of $4,000 fol
his office, to provide for the work OF
making surveys, maps and plans, and
of $4,000 for expenses clerical hire
and the like for the eight members
of the bureau, are included in the
bill now pending before the commit
tee on roads, bridges and rivers.
The bill calls for report from the
| commission, for the next legislature
OH the tCOnOlC1OnS OIL The rural IllSI'
ways of the state, the report to EN-.
body specific recommendations.
Charles H. Plump of Redding, sec.
| rotary of the Fairfield County Farm
Bureau, is the originator of the meas
| ure introduced by Representative
| Shaw. Mr.. Plump has enlisted in its
| support the various chambers Of
commerce of Fairfield county, includ
| ing the Bridgeport body.
| Another big factor in the bill is the
Farmers Association, which met yes.
| terday with President Heman A
| Averill Of Washington, presiding. Thi:
| considered the bill at some length
! then adjourned until this forenoon Al
IL O'Clock when it convened fol
| further consideration of it's provisions
This afternoon the committee or
roads, rivers and bridges conducted
Ia hearing on the measure.

Orchestra Leader Praises Duffy'S

In emergencies, when a physician is
not available, Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey may be depended upon
for quick relief. Mr.. Max Ankles,
Orchestra Leader, stricken with
cramps at an important engage
ment, is relieved promptly by Duffy's
and enabled to continue playing.
"Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is GER
tainAy valuable medicine to have at
hand in case of emergency and no
home should be without it. Recently I
was stricken with cramps while play
ing at dance in New Jersey town
and thought I should die as the near
est doctor was two miles away. I was
unable to obtain any relief until a
friend gave NJ e some Duffy's Malt
which relieved me in short time and
enabled me to continue playing. I
am very grateful and recommend
Duffy's Pure Malt as reliable medi-
cinal whiskey."-Max Ankles, 1883

REV. G. 0. TAMBLYN
/. BRINGING COLLEGE
'GLEE CLUB TO CITY
Plans Entertainment to Attract
Indifferent to His W
Church.

Pursuing his policy of attempting
to keep the Olivet Congregational
church lighted nightly as a resting
mental side Of physically tired men
from the various factories in Bridge
port, Rev George o. Tamblyn has
again announced that one Of the best
known entertainment. organizations in
New England will Z be brought to
Bridgeport. This is done. without
compulsory cost to any who wish to
attend the entertainment.
The character of the musical pro-
gram that Will be offered in the small
auditorium of Oliyet church may be
imagined from the fact that the
Springfield College Glee club is the
organization which has been obtain
ed They will appear at 8 o'clock
Friday evening".
Last year both the auditorium and
the Sunday school room of the church
were crowded. It was planned to have
them appear in larger building this
year but the fact that Bridgeport Is
lacking in sufficient auditofiums for
this purpose is accehtuated in a
statement issued by Mr.. Tamblyn to-
day that none is available for the oc-
0asion this year.
The affair is therefore to be con-
sidered purely as a "neighborhood'
entertainment in line with the poll
cies of the church though thep ublie
has been most cordially invited and
will be heartily welcomed at the
church.
Incidentally, from the viewpoint o.
church endeavor it may be said thai
it has cost the neighborhood commit
tee 500 to bring this club to Bridge
port for. one night, only small part
of which can be betrayed by the sill

Flint Withdraws His
Petition For Right
to Build Beach Pier

There will be no pier for the ac-
commodation of launches or larger
vessels at Fairfield beach fod the next
two years at least. Opposition to the
project became so keen that prom
inent Fairfield residents, including
DeVer H. Warner, Samuel H. Wheeler
and Miss Anna Jennings made partic-
ular request for abandonment of the
scheme proposed by Town Clerk Jo-
seph I. Flint, who owned shore front
property at the foot Of Penfield ave-
nue..
Though the tidal conditions at
Fairfield beach are such as to prevent
steamers landing within more than
400 feet Of the shore at low tide, and
the application Of Flint was for the
purpose of docking his own motorboat,
he has gladly consented to withdraw
his petition to the legislature in the
interests of the town, he said today.
This action was formally taken in
Hartford yesterday.
