No Opinion On Status
 Of Iiqu01'
Commissioners Cannot Start to Refund Dealers
 Money.

County Commissioner Frank E. Ballard said today that he had re- ceived no reply from the Attorney General to the request for an opinion as to whether it is illegal to sell liquor in this state. Until official no- tice is received the commissioners cannot start to refund money to liquor dealers who have surrendered their licenses.
 The commissioners expect there will be some delay on the part of the Attorney General for in a matter of such great importance he will not feel inclined to act hastily. When he issues an opinion that the sale of liquor is illegal, the commissioners will make a requisition upon the city treasurer for part of the license money representing the months dur ing which the dealers will not use the licenses. This money when re- ceived will be returned to the dealers.

40 JITNEY
 DRIVERS GO
 TO NEW YORK

Believing that the big trolley strike in Brooklyn offers the jitney owner a chance to get rich quickly, over 40 Itney drivers of this city left town within the past few days, headed for the New York gold fields.''
 Bridgeporters who live in the out skirts of the city, and who have pat ronized the jitneys regularly for a long time, have noticed the decrease in the number of cars which are usually on the suburban runs. Many of the regular > jitney riders were forced to wait some time for a ma chine this morning, or seek other means of transportation to their work. It is believed that a contin- uance of the Brooklyn strike will re- suit in many more jitney men leav- ing Bridgeport for New York, where it is reported that jitneurs are taking in not nickels but dollars.
 The local jitney situation which was expected by some to be in for an up heaval after the enforcement of the new regulations, remains normal as far as the observance of the new laws are concerned.
