40 TONS LYING IN
 FREIGHT HOUSE FOR
 MORE THAN A WEEK
This despite the Fact That 8 Shortage Has Been Loudly Pro claimed Figur e Freight or Storage Charges Will Be Offset by High Price to Pub lie.

Despite the alleged shortage of sugar in this city for some time and despite the fact that almost all of the dealers in the city insist that it is still hard to get, it was discovered today that about 48 tons of sugar have been lying in the freight station for more than a week lying there so long in fact thas more than $75 storage has been paid on it.
 The Zalinger trucking company is today transferring the sugar, which is reported to be owned by New Haven or Hartford concern, but the trucking company refused to state who owned the sugar or to whom il was consigned.
 It is understood that the sugar is brought here from various points stored here for a while and then sold to stores and restaurants in the city.
 In line with similar reports it was stated from reliable sources today
 that the latter part of last year
 when the shortage in sugar was about at its height, sugar sent tc Bridgeport was trans-shipped back tt New York and other points and kep' in transit until after the first of the year when a higher price could bt asked for it.
 This practice of kee ping sugar 1T transit for several days or a week ol two was cpnmon in December it il stated, the wholesalers and othe dealers estimating that their loss il l freight or storage charges would b. more than offset by the increases 1 price they would then be allowed t i charge for the sugar when govern ment control ceased.
 1 Sugar at that time was bought a l about Il cents universally in thi ! part of the country and the prevail l ing price today ranges between 1 | and 23 or 25 cents a pound. Whil
 some of this sugar may have bee contracted for at increased price 1 wholesale the prevailing opinio | among those in touch with the sitU 1 ation is that the sugar was bought 2 old wholesale prices, stored or keI | in transit until the present time whe
 an increase of from ' to 12 or

NICHOLS STARTS
 ANOTHER SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Brings Action Against L. M. Lund For
 $15,0O0

 Nichols claims damages for the d. leged failure of the defendants ta carry out an agreement with him for the sale of his patent rights in an electric water heater. The agree- ment was made October 10, 1919 and by it's terms Nichols was to receive
 27 12 cents on each heater manu-
 factured by the Bridgeport Co. II
 was agreed that he should receive a
 minimum royalty of $50 a week for the first year and $1OO a week for the next nine years after that. He was also to receive S1O,000 in cash. It was regarding this latter sum that the conspiracy charges against | the lawyers arose. Nichols claims ne | did not receive this money but the l Bridgeport Co. declares he can have i the money when he fully performs /, his contract.
 | For his part of the agreement 1 Nichols agreed to notify the Bridge l port Co. if he invented any other
 heater and he agreed to turn over ] certain stock certificates Lund
 agreed to withdraw legal proceeding 1 over a note for $6,5Oo which he claimed Nichols gave him. The de- fendants deny they broke the agree ment.

TO FIGHT RAISE IN
 TAX RATE:
Manufacturers to Meet and Discuss Pro-
 ceedure.
BUSINESS HOUSES
 TO JOIN THEM

Bridgeport's prominent man. ufacturers, some 40 in number, will meet today to discuss the methods of taking up the ques- ton of increased taxation with the city. The session will set tie whether the manufacturers will deal with the city individ- ually through legal represen- tatives or collectively. It is ex- pected that large business houses of the city will join the manufacturers in their fight.
 A hurried canvass of the manufac- turers this morning gives every indi- cation that the representatives of To- cal industry will fight to protect, what one E4cutive terms, "a strike at the very heart of our busine If the city fails to make an equitable ad- justment of the matter, it is practi- cally certain that other industries may follow the example of the Remington Yost company in leaving the city. The question of Bridgeport's sky ward leap in taxation was recently given much prominence at banquet of the Baltimore Chamber of Com merec tendered to Francis s. Whitten, president of the Columbia Grapho. phone company.
 1 What MT Whitten said to startle his audience was that the difference | between Ba1timore's tax rate and that l of competitor cities is so heavily ir l Baltimore's favor that under the pres, 1 ent rate his concern in Bridgeport | would save enough taxes to pay two l thirds of the cost of it's plant in Bal l timore in 20 years.
