took no part in the discussion.
 Prior to the meeting it had been learned by the aldermanic committee that Mayor Clifford B. Wilson would refuse to sign Alderman MacFaydens s resolution, and would let it become ef- fect1ve automatically on March 10. As the aldermen believe the hear ing on the harbor bill will come be- fore the Senate's committee on Cities and Boroughs before that time. they will go before the committee and protest the bill, not as committee of the Bridgeport Board of Alder men, but as a committee of aldermen and will act for the aldermen instead of representing them as . city board - Last nights meeting was sup posed to be a strictly private affair." but a Times-Farmer representative was able to get an accurate report on the doings today

The aldermen contended if the tax payers are to be bonded $11, 900, 900 at the outset, they ought to have some say in the matter and asked for 8 referendum on the bill.

Although the situation in the

to get this consent today Senator
Sherman looks for it's immediate
adoption without any objection to

days at a time. This would enable

proving IL, without waiting until De-
