The watchers who had been inter ested in the old mans actions smiled at him as he went away, but it was noticed that the big loaf of bread with a burning candle foated steadily out into mid stream, foated down stream few hundred feet below the bridge, then stopped and began to re- volve in a circle. It kept this up for some time until finally one of the row boats came up to it and directly un- der the surface of that point the body was found.
 A score or more witnesses vouched for the truthfulness of the story. It was stated today that the loaf of bread undoubtedly followed the course of the same currents that the body did and came to a halt in the same place as did the body.

 And the fact that it was passed by the aldermen removes the contention that it is not reasonable, the courts have decided that any ordin- ance passed by such a board is req sonable.
 'sThe city by issuing licenses to the ! drivers cannot be said to have relin- quished all control over the laws
 that have been delegated to them.
 "The ordinance says in effect that every street in Bridgeport shall be a
 traffic route except those named.
 ''The threat of the company to
 withdraw it's cars may be connected with the enactment of this ordinance
 but if the ordinance is a legal ex-
 ercise of the power granted by the
 legislature it is reasonable. We
 cannot speculate on what might have been in the minds of the aldermen whe nthey voted for this ordinance. By. the passage of the ordinance we have revoked all licenses, condi- tiona1ly. They are revoked only as to the forbidding area. True, the new license may be worth nothing.

 Attorney Klein closed the argu- ments and said that he was glad that
 Judge Comley had made public the reasons for the passage of the .ordi- nance and said the judge should disa- buse himself of the idea that he was being personally attacked. He denied that the jitneymen had recognized the authority and validity of the old ordinance and incidentally I of the amendment by accepting li- censes issued by the Police Commis- sioners for the old routes. 'It is admitted that the ordinance 1 was passed to allow the Connecticut i Company to operate its cars. It is ] admitted that it was passed because ! of the threat of the Connecticut Com | pany.

 tHThe people of Bridgeport have not l appeared before the aldermen asking
 that the jitneys be put off the
 streets. The welfare of the commu-
 nifty does rot demand it. The well fare of the community demands that they be allowed to remain as they are"
 "The Board of Aldermen in this
