 The League Commission examining the Armenian problem had before it today a proposal by three powers for the immediate re-equipment of Wran- gels army and for sending it against the Bolshevist and the Turkish Ma tonalist forces now attacking Arme- mia The plan is urged mainly on the ground that WrangeIs forces are nearest to that country.
 Brtain's delegation was quick to register it's violent opposition to any such scheme. pointing out that Wran- gel, no matter what his intentions may have been, has failed as a mill itary commander and has lost pres uge everywhere.
 Delegates of other powers were i'm clined to support the proposal. They suggested that since Wrangels' forces already are officered largely by French and British commanders, it would not be difficult to reorganize them and whip up their martial spirit where upon artillery and money would be the only things needed to make a vic tor1ous Armenian campaign possible.

 The mayors nessag ge is as follows:
 ssI return herewith the report of the Streets and Sidewalks committee of your honorable body relative to the extension of Broad street from Congress street to Washington avenue and from Elm street to Congress street, which report was rejected by you on October 25, 1920, and the resolution adopted by you at the same time resembling the previous action of your honorable body in approving the issuance of $205,000 deficiency notes to meet the expense of said Broad street extension, withholding my approval thereupon for the fol- lowing reasons:-

Never before in the history of Bridgeport has an auction sale been held which approached that of last night in magnitude. The genera. opinion was that the sale would have many beneficial effects. In the first place. Hundreds of Bridgeport people obtained homes at prices far below those which will probably prevail for some time. The release from a single ownership of 404 parcels cannot helR but be of advantage to local business While this immense property remain ed frozen in the hands of one large Interest there was little chance for sale. Now that the property has beer split up into hundreds of holdings the local real estate brokers vii. benefit from resales, from the Wri-- ing of new insurance, from manage ,nent of repairs and leasing, and it is believed also that the actual man. .agement of some of the larger proper ties will be split up among local real estate men.

PLAN TO PUT
 JITNEYS ON
 FIRM BASIS

The jitney owners of Bridgeport are in a quarrel which may improve the, business, and may make it diff cult to carry on the fight against the trolley company.
 There are two associations, the one and older, headed by John B. Schwartz and Harry Frank, and the other headed by A. J. Gallagher. Gal lagher has organized the Bridgeport Bus Owners Protective Association. He lives at 37 Roslyn street He IS a dealer in tires.
 .'The purpose of our asso ciation,' said MT. Gallagher. this morning, lis to procure better understanding with the city. to arrange for better service by the jitney owners, to get an ac- counting of the s30,000 defense fund and to make the best conditions for the individual jitney owner.
 "I have been chosen president and general manager of the associa ton We shall have a board of ten gov ernors, two from each of the five lines authorized by the city. We shall pre- sent figures to show what it costs to run jitneys and what it costs to run trolley cars.
 we-shal1 get 5o,ooo people to sign petitions in favor of more jitney service. We shall interest finance companies, so as to get larger and better cars. We shall go to ner- chants and bankers to show them that the jitneys- are in the best inter- est of the city. With public sen timent behind us, we can get Al De- Laney and the other Bridgeport sen- ators and representatives without employing lobbyists or lawyers. We have never had an accounting of the defense fund. The books were audited, but only the stubs were ex- hibited and the statements that have been made are ridiculous.
