0USTCONTRACTORS,
URGE CHARTER MEN
Duane and Beeber Regret Post
ponement Of City Doing .
Own Street Cleaning
FEAR POLITICS IN WORK

Postponement Of street cleaning by
Che direct method authorized by the
new city charter would be matter of
very great regret, according to Russell
Duane, who was member Of the
charter committee.
Mr.. Duane and former Judge Dinner
Beeber. who also was conspicuous in the
new charter movement, vigorously cx-
pressed their views today on street
cleaning under the contract system.
Mayor Moore has announced he will
ask for bids for street cleaning so the
figures may be incorporated in the
budget for 1921. He also has asked a
survey, however, to determine the
practicability of having the city clean
It's own streets.
The contractor in politics. issue
was the principal plank in the plat :
form that won the primary election
last fall for the anti organization
forces.
Important Feature
members of the charter committee
considered the provision for municipal
street cleaning one of the most impor-
tant features Of the new city charter, :"
Mr. Duane asserted.
II think the proper method is to have
the city do the cleaning. Whether or
not conditions exist now that would
make municipal street cleaning unduly
expensive, I do not know, but it will
be source of very great regret il the
matter is postponed.
"The cleaning of streets by the city
directly Is very important because IL
powerful contractors obtain the work
1t would tend to perpetuate contractor
government, which this city has suffered
from for some time"
Opposed to Contractors
81 would be opposed to continuance
OF street cleaning by private contrac-
tors" Mr.. Beeber declared, "unless
1t was very clearly shown, after the
most searching investigation, that the
clty's finances were not in shape to have
the work done directly.
II can readily understand that street
cleaning by the city would be expen- :
slVe the first year because equipment
would have to be obtained. But I am
heartily in favor of taking municipal
contracts out of the hands of private
contractors"

NEW RESTAURANT OPENS SATURDAY

Famous as a restauranteur, having successfully conducted dining places of unusual merit throughout New England and more recently manager of the old Carr Grill Room and still the steward and directing head of the Greenlawn club, Joseph Castillo will open on Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, the handsome dining room which bears his name, The Castillo, at 40 Fairfield avenue. This location is well known, as for years it was occupied by the Adams House grill room.
 The premises have been entirely changed over and on the eve of its opening as The Casillo, presents an appearance of unusual taste and re- i fnement, the first eating place of its kind that Bridgeport has yet en- joyed.
 From the French windows that en- case the front and entrance and l passing through the observer will mo- 1 tice the walls to be a combination of characterization wainscoting in old l ivory, and an upper wall of Hunken l hand block in blue and old gold, giv- 1 ing an artistic touch that is at once 1 pleasing and satisfactory to the eye. The ceiling is of pure white with an indirect lighting system shedding it's ! soft glow to the snow white lined i and sparkling silvered tables and the beautiful Ceramic tile flooring be-
 meath. Every table, too, has it's spe- ] cialIy designed individual lamp.
 The next point, probably the most 1 interesting of all, and surely the most l important, is the wonderful French
 kitchen, in plain open view to the restaurant, being separated only by | a leaded glass partition, the colorings 1 of which prove enhancing to the | general attractiveness of the place.
 In the kitchen the laws of cIean1i-
 ness and sanitation are literally ex-
 emplifed. Two big modern gas
 ranges, with no coal or dust to dis
 turb am atmosphere that is constant
 1y kept clarified by a gigantic suction
 fan with an air displacement of 1900
 cubic feet per minute. This is erect ed above the cooking ranges. The kitchen contains all the latest auto matic equipment necessary to sagnfta-
 ton and to efficiency in service, and
 a refrigeration plant with an ice ca 1 pacity of a ton.
 It is the intention of MT. Castillo
 to have ready dishes at rush hours,
 along with Q la carte and, in the
 evening, an after-theatre bill of fare
 of unusual excellence and variety.
 Dancing on the Ceramic tile, a
 floor which becomes the fastest and
 most delightful of any character of
 dance floors, will be indulged in evenings from till 12 o'clock and the music for this new cafe will be
 ably furnished by a four piece or
 chestra under the direction of Prof.
 Frank o. McMillan, one of Ameri-
 ca's premier banjoists and com posers.
 Prof McMillan is well known to GreenIawn club members and, prior to his association with 1S. Castillo was in charge of the music of some of the leading New York restaurants
 including the Peekin, the Pre-Catelan and others
 Bridgeportsrs will certainly vel come the opening of The Castillo.

The shortage of labor, the exodus of immigrants from America, the causes of unrest among foreign born people and the naturalization laws will be discussed.
 In announcing the conference, Gen eraI Coleman du Pont, chairman of the Board of the Inter Racial Coun- cil, said:
 Immigration before the war and after the war are two entirely differ ent propositions. They are so differ ent that America is 100000 men short as a result of the dwindling of immigration. Thousands of immi- grants are going back; other thous- ands are migrating to Canada. South America, Australia and other coun- tries are making organized efforts to attract immigration. The United States is not.
 There are certain fundamental changes in international conditions that call for careful consideration of immigration policies and laws in America.
 There are over 200 bills pending in Washington which if passed will shut out the future supply of immigrant workmen and will demoralize indus trial and credit conditions in Amer ica. They will also have the effect of excluding immigrants who have
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-03-26

left this country following the armis- tice to attend to affairs in the home lands and who want to return to America.
 The indiscriminate denunciation of the foreign born which has been taking place in America is resulting in many of them leaving this country. It is resulting also m growing mis- understandings between native and foreign-born residents and ia a gen eral dem oralization of industrial and social life.
 ''The situation is a grave one call ing for concerted, nationwide ac- tion. There is need of national bailey for dealing with this entire subject. Discussion of selective im- migration and its distribution and assimilation in the country is imper- ative.''
 Arrangements for the conference are under the direction of a special committee of the Inter-racial Coun- cil, including both native and for eign born. Dr. Albert Shiels, former 1y director of evening schools in New York city, is director of the confer ence with temporary headquarters iL Room 253S, Woolworth Building.
