Sure Governor Will
 Sign Bonding Bill

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson does noa believe that any pressure exerted by opponents of the bill authorizing the city of Bridgeport to issue bonds and short term notes. is the cause of 1t not having been signed by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb as yet. Neither does the mayor believe that the gov ernor has been withholding his sig nature because of any amendments to be desired.
 In fact Mayor Wilson said today that nothing was holding the bill up and the only reason the governor had not signed it was because the official copy had not vet come from the printers, where 1t is being engrossed. The mayor said the bill would un- doubtedly be signed during the course Of next week.

DID NOT RESIGN,
 MAYOR SAYS
City's Chief Executive Makes Defense of Grand
 St. Bridge Commission.

According to Mayor Clifford B. Will son, Alderman Malcolm MacFayden has not resigned from the Grand Street Bridge Commission. This sets at rest rumors that floated about town yesterday to the effect that Mac Fayden had resigned because he did not agree with some of work ap- proved by other members Of the com mission.
 When questioned by a representa- tives of the Times-Farmer regarding the decision of the Superior Court which awarded F. DeVoe Tompkins, Inc, nearly $192,o00 because the Bridge Commission took the contract for the work away from him, the mayor said:
 ' The decision was a surprise to me. The city had a just claim" Asked if the members of the commission had erred at any time during the con-
 struction period up until he took the
 contract away from Tompkins, the
 mayor replied: "The action of the
 Bridge Commission was justified. They are in no way to blame and acted entirely within their rights in all ac- uons taken"
 The mayor refused to discuss the Grand street bridge question al length at the present time, and was most reticent in answering the few questions put to him.
 While the city's chief executive made no direct remarks on his opin- i ion of the outcome of the award, he | left the impression that he believed 1 the decision would beSreversed by the Supreme Court and the city's conten- tion that Tompkins broke the con
 tract would be upheld
