ORDINANCE APT
 NOT TO COME UP
Committee Not Fully Pre- pared to Make a
 Report.

The chances are strong that the Daylight Saving ordinance will not De put to a vote at tonight's meeting Of the Common Council in City Hall. the Orddnance committee not being prepared to render a report on their investigations into the matter
 The public hearing last Thursday did much to cfarify the different views on the Daylight Saving law, but members of the Ordinance com 1f1ttee stated today that there were stlM some aldermen whose views they had not ascertained and in fact some ef the Ordinance committee itself had not completed their personal investi- gahons into the matter
 A postpOnement of a decision on the Daylight Saving oEt1inance tonight however does not necessarily mean that Bridgeport will be left out in the cold'' on the proposition when other cities in New England change their clocks April 25. Another meet ing of the Common Council is sched- uled for April 19, two weeks from to- day, and the Ordinance, committee has ample time to make it's report then and the Council may, if it passes the ordinance put it into effect ali the same time as New Haven, Hart. ford and other cities

Too Much
 Work On
 New Cars
Cannot Run Car Care fully Under Zone
 System.

Despite a statement by Manaser Goodwin of the Connecticut Co. to- day that the cause of the non-ap- pearance of the new Birney one-rnan cars on several of the routes, sched- uied for yesterday, was. due to the non-arriva1 of the tro11eys, it was made known here today that the real reason was that the motormen of the company at a meeting held last Thursday voted not to operate the trolleys under a Zone fare system and also voted that they should be operat- ed on payment of single fare, and that to be a nickel if possible.
 The company is said to have re- fused this demand by the motormen and the matter has now gone to arbi- tration, the board of arbitration to decide whether or not motornaen shall be compelled to play the dual parts of conductor and motornnan-
 It is definitely known that the trol leymen object strenuously to the op. eradon of one-man cars on Barnu1n and State street lines or any other lines affected by the Zone Fare sys- tenn The men claim that it is too much for one man to do, give out fare cheeks, collect fares, ranging from six cents upward, give out transfers and at the same time run their trolleys in careful manner.
