possible at the present time to deter mine who is responsible.
 Practically all successful business enterprises are managed by one man who operates through delegated au- thority. The otfiia1s and employees to whom such autority is delegated q are removable a the pleasure of the executive. \ general manager of a corporation cannot long claim exemp- ton for misma nagenent on the part of his subordiRates.
 One who is born and raised in Bridgeport may possibly und derstand the complex municipal organizati on which exists. A non-reSide ent. how ever intelligent he may be, will find considerable difficulty in doing so.
 In order to comprehend the work ings of the City government, it is nee esSary, first. to understand the rela- uonship existing between the Mayor. the Common Council and the numer- ous boards and commissions of the City.
 The City possesses a Mayor and Common Council of 24 members elect ed from F districts in the City.
 Including the Mayor and 24 Alder men, there is a total of so official k elected by the voters of Bridgeport. The Mayor appoints eight city off cials and 20 boards and commissions having a membership of 121. The City Council appoints four oftl- cers-

bers of these boards for cause
 The Director of Public Works is appointed by the mayor. and, accord ing to the charter. is responsible for maintaining in good repair all streets. sidewalks, crossways, curbs, gutters, sewers, drains. culverts, sluice ways, catch basins, alleys. bridges and pub lie grounds of the city, excepie parks.
 The Superintendent of Streets is also appointed by the mayor, and is independent of the Director of Public Works He is charged with the duty Of cleaning all the streets. avenues, highways. alleys sidewalks cross ways and public grounds of Fhe city, except parks as well as sewers drains, sIuiceways, culverts and catch basins
 The City Engineer. appointed by the mayor. is charged with the duty of making surveys. maps, plans. drawings, Specifications and estimates ra- la ire 10 the work of the Director of Puolic Works, and is required co do any other engineering work which the city nay require The City En- gineer is independent of the Director Of Public Works and the Superin- eendent of Streets
 Tn addition to these officials, there is Paving and Sewer Commission consisting Of six members who hold ,office for six wears each One mem Der is appointed by the mayor in June of each year. This commission has not the power to designate the street

or streets on which permanent pave ments or sewers shall be laid or con stru cted, which power is conferred upon the Common Council, but after The Common Council has acted, this commission has the sole power to de- termine the kind and duality of per manent pavement to be laid and the kind quality and size of the sewers to be constructed. It may require .he Director of Public Works to su- pervise the work of laying paTements or constructing sewers and it may re- cuire the City Engineer to prepare plans. specifications and ether data required for the proper construction and execution of the work.
 There are other commissions and boards in the city. as will be seen by the ganization chart attached Linn itaaions of time and space make it inDoesibIe to give a complete analysis and description of the powers and du- >+ias of each office and comm ission, I,Iit it will be evident from the fore going description that cl1e admins tratiye powers of the city are widely distributed Having once appointed a member Of a board or coInmissi on, the mayor has practically no further control.

POLAND MOVES TO RESTORE PEACE
 IN UPPER SILESIA

London, May 10-The Polish gov ernment, following out the wishes of the allies, is taking energetic steps for the restoration of peace in Upper Silesia according to a Warsaw dis patch to the Daily Express today.
 The proposal made at the meeting of the Council of Ambassadors in Paris yesterday that Upper Silesia, be partitioned at once, the reponderant- ly German parts going to Germany and the preponderantly Polish parts to Poland, has been definitely reject ed it was learned at the foreign of- fee The Council of AmbaSsad ors was said to have warned Poland that "the Polish good name and Polish credit were at stake" And urged strenuous measures to curb Adelber korfanty.
 Adelbert Korfanty, Polish com mis- sioner in Upper Silesia, who proclaim ed himself dictator of the province following the Polish uprising, has is- sued a proclamation at Reuthen urg- ing the population to retnrn to work
 An Oppeln dispatch to the Daily Express said that armed German ci- williams were pouring into Upper Sili- sia and that a clash on a big scale between the Poles and Germans throughout the whole district seemeo inevitable. The Oppeln correspondent of the Express estimates that 1S,00O armed German civilians had arrived in Upper Si1eSia.

THINK bURGLARIES
 WORK OF BOYS

-Four burg1aries occurred in Bridge port last night and are now being in- veStigated by the Detective Bureau It is believed that most of the brakes which have been made lately are the work of boys seeking ready cash
 A rear window in the harness store of Morris Tatt1ebaun, 1871 Main street, was forced by burglars who escaped with some leather and other stock valued at S25.
 Similar entrance was gained at the United Grocery store, Main and Por- ter streets, but nothing was taken
 Pedro Roshatt, proprietor of a butcher shop at 1861 Main street, re- ported that thieves broke into the cellar of his store and then went up stairs and stole S2 from the cash drawer.
 The bicycle store of A C. Newman. 1855 Main street. was also entered through a rear window, but nothing of any value was secured by the bur rfarS.

bers are practically self-perpetuating
 The City Court is appointed by the state legislature.
 In all. 230 city officials are elected or appointed in various ways under various authorities and hold office for various terms.
 Practically all appointments to boards and commissions are so timed that at least one half of the entire membership continues over into the Eerm of the new mayor.
 The big spending departments of the city are Fhe Board of Education, the Board of Police Commissioners. the Board of Fire Commissioners and the various officers and boards who spend funds for purposes which are designated under the term High ways
 The F members of the Board of Education are elected at large and hold office for three years. Four members of the board are elected each y-ar- Neither the mayor nor the Common Council has the right of removal.
 The Boards of Police and Fire Commissioners hold office two years One-half of each board is appointed in December of each year to serve for two years The mayor is eN- officio member of each of said boards, but has no vote in any pro- ceedings, except in case of a tie.

ines Best Method Of Administering City Afairs

The Library board is even further removed from the general supervision of the city officers by reason of the fact that the city is required to levy a special tax for it's support. the to- tai proceeds of which must go to the Library board.
 Attention is invited to the chart showing the present organiZa ton of the City government. CThis chart is on file in the Chamber of Commerce offices and is accessible to the pub Ec.)
 It has frequently been q matter of speculation why a business commun- ity disregards all the rules for sue cessful administration. which it uses in its personal affairs, in administer ing the business affairs of its city
 The idea seems to prevail that the payment of taxes is a kind of charity and that the distribution of the amounts so paid into the City Treas ury is not a matter of immediate concern
 The fact that the payment of salar- Iy is charity in disguise when they do not render proper service for the amount paid does not alter the facf that a city is q corporation. and should be conducted as such. and that economical and effective ad- ministration of it's affairs cannot be secured by standing the side lines and cussinS-

FOUR BROKE
 MOTOR LAWS

Sudden activity on the part of the police against automobile law viola tors, resulted in four arrests yesetr- day and a number of automobile cases in the City court this morning. Traffic Officer William Buckley acted as a racing judge in Connecti- cut avenue yesterday afternoon and arrested Charles Sjoberg, of 767 Brewster avenue and Emilio Cinotti, of 4o5 Newheld avenue. jitneurs, af- ter they had hooked up in a. speed contest. Both men will appear in the City court tomorrow.
 George Kingston, of Stratford, was also arrested by Patrolrnan Buckley yesterday when he drove his car at the rate of Az miles an hour in Con- necticut avenue.
 Paul Lainais, of 1902 Main street ran afou1 of the law by driving his automobile with only one headlight and no tail light last night.
 A fine of $10 and costs for operat- ing without license was imposed up on George O'DonnelI, of 119 Willard street by the City court today.
 The case of Joseph Santy, a jitney- man of 1429 Fairfield avenue, who was arrested yesterday for overload ing his machine was nolled on the payment of S3.

The second chapter of the Cham Der of Commerce investi gation of the city of Bridgeport is printed here clusively with the organization of the city. the formation, powers and au- thority of the various departments boards, com missions and committees. lrzAcontains preliminary suggestions the successful administration of a municipality, and defines the power of the various agencies of the city authorized to expend mpnicipa1 rev enue.
 The installment follows;
 In view of the agitation at the pres ent time to change the form of the City government of Bridgeport. I am somewhat reluctant to comment upon the present form of organization. However, it has been found to be inn possible to escape consideration of the organization as it stands today for the reason that a poor form of organization is always a contributing cause for lax administration. inefi- = cfercy and extravaganza.
 The fundamentals of good organi- in business. Successful administra ton is accomplished only through a definite fixing of responsibility for re- suits.
 The present form of organization in Bridgeport appears to be the out growth of an effort to distribute the responsibility for results among so many different agencies that it is inn

members, four of whom are appoint ed annually by the mayor for a term of three years to hold office from the first of January each year
 The only power of the Common Council to appropriate the revenues of the city relates to the small surplus balance which usually occurs in mak- ing up the annual budget This amounts to s5,090.61 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1922
 No general authority exists for the issuance of bonds. Authority for specific issues for specific purposes must be obtained from the state legis- laIure. Such authority as the Com mon Council had to authorize the is suance of bonds after auth thority had been granted by the S.ate was further restricted dn 1919 by the orga nization of a Financial Advisory Committee. which is required to approve in writ ing the issaunce of bonds before the Common Council can do so-
 This duty of approving bond is sues appears to relate only to the bonds authorized by the Legislature in the Act of April 10. 1917. The unissued balance of prior bond au- thoriza1:on may be issued without ref erence to the Financial Advisory Committee.
 Very little remains to the Common Council. Through its committees, it approve all vouchers before pay ment, and it inspects and reports up on the lamps of the city

RUMOR LAWYER
 WILL WITHDRAW FROM MOTT CASE

Much interest was manifested in the case of Ethel H. Mott, who may be ar raigned before the opening session of the May term of criminal Superior court is finished this afternoon.
 Rumors which have been rife from time to time, that attorney Abe s. Gedu1diE was to withdraw as coun- sci for Mrs. Mott, accused of the mur- der of her husband last August, were again prominent this morning, and from an authoritive source it was learned that Geduldig has retired from the case, leaving Mrs Nott's de fense for the time being at least, en- tirely in the hands of the public de- fender, Robert DeForest. Geduldig could not be reached at his office or at his home at an early hour this after noon.
 It remains to be seen whether this change at this particular time will have any effect upon the date for which the trial will be set Because of this change and the fact that Judge William M. Ma1tbie is expected to open a court session in Waterbury May A, it seems probable that any long murder trials will be heard be- fore the fall session.

EVERY INDICATION THAT GERMANY WILL
 MEET ALLIED TERMS
Ebert Has Not Yet Succeeded in Forming CabinetSplit Reported in German Peoples Party-French Are Mov- ing Troops Forward From Rhine.

Berlin, May 1O-All signs pointed to acceptance of the Allied indemnity ultimatum when the Reichstag met to- day.
 President Ebert had not yet succeeded in having a new ministry formed to take the place of the Feh- renbach-Simons cabinet, but it was reliably reported that compromise negotiations would result in the creation of a new government by midnight tonight.
 Following the definite refusal of Herr Mayer-Kaufbeuren, German Ambassador to France, to attempt the formation of a cabinet it was suggest ed that Herr Ioebe, president of the Reichstag, undertake this task. Herr Mayer-kaufbeuren is a member of majority Socialist.
 A bloc has been formed by parties favorable to acceptance of the ulti- matum, consisting of the majority Socialists and the Centrum. The Independent Socialist leaders favored acceptance of the ultimaturn
 The German peoples party by a large vote decided to reject the ulti- matuna.
 There were indications that a split had occurred in the German Peoples Party, while majority of the repre- sentatives of the party voted to reject the ultimatum Gustav Stresemen, the chief leader favored acceptance. Fin al decision was to be taken by the party leaders at a caucus this morn ing. prior to the converting of the Reichstag. When this meeting open ed Dr. Won Rosenberg. German am bsssador to Austria, was apparently the favorite candidate to succeed Foreign Minister Simons while Dr. Stresemann was leading for the chan ceIlorship-
