Repairs On Bridge
 Halted
Mayor Decides to Ask For Bids to Garry Work To Completion.

Mayor Wilson has stopped the re- pair work on the Congress street bridge, being done by the A. J. Leake Construction Co. on a cost plus basis, and bids will be asked for the com p1etion of the work which the engineer ing board, which examined the bridge, says is absolutely necessary.
 In statement made to a Times man today Mayor Wilson said: "The Congress street bridge was examined d by a competent board of engineers who reported to me that it was in a condition which required immediate attention.
 Tn view of the fact that SO many people were out of work in Bridge port and that it was desirable to give as much of this work as possi ble to people in the city, I waived the advertising for bids and engaged the A J. Lea.ke Construction Co.,, a Bridgeport concern which has done much work, not only in Bridgeport but in other places as well, to make the repairs for cost plus 12k %. Previous to giving them the work the Leake Company assured me that the total cost would be- in the neighbor- hood of $6O,000.

The business men of this city are practically unanimous in the opinion that the recent ruling barring a great many of the established jitneys from the streets of the city and from inter city routes is going to prove a detrl- ment to the retail trade of Bridge port, and is furthermore going to work no little hardship on a great many workers in the stores and fac tories to whom an additional expense of 10 cents a day will be a. big item, especially at this time of depression: THE TIMES asked about score of prominent business men this morning as to how, in their estimation, the jitney decision would affect local trade and, although few men pre- ferred not to be quoted, almost every one of those consulted believed that the barring the automobiles would hurt local business considerably.
 D. M Jones, vice-president and general manager of the D. M Read Company said that he did not see how the action could do anything but hurt the city. Better roads and bet

Jitneymen on the Paradise Green line, operating over route from the Green in Stratford to Park avenue Bridgeport, for a five cent fare, are particularly incensed over the mat fer of choice of men to whom the per rr1its were given. They view the bat tie between the Connecticut company and the jitneys as a fight In which the Public Utilities Commission was the referee, and the men on this run believe the matter Of citizenship, time of service on jftney runs, war records, and clean driving records should have been taken into consid- eration in the granting of the limited number of permits,
 This they claim was not done, and they cite freely several instances of permits being granted to unnatural ized foreigners, some Of whom havo been in the country good many years without taking out first papers according to their allegations Es- pectal1y are they peeved at the lack of consideration to the case of Free

C. l.. Union
 Hotly Against F. U. Decision

Following heated attacks upon the Connecticut Company and the Public Utilities Commission, the Central La bor Union last night went on record as opposed to the recent decision of the commission Charging that the commission had evidently been ap- pointed by the Connecticut Company through the legislature, the labor or ganization adopted a resolution pro- testing against the forced withdrawal of jitneys.
 Both the commission and the trac- tion concern were bitterly attacked by the labor men, and the favoring of the trolley in preference to the jit- ney f|the working mans friend,'' was vigorously protested. I
 As evidence of the sentiment of the organization, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
 We, the Bridgeport (Conn-) Central Labor Union, in regular meeting as- seub1ed, on July the 18th, 1921, do hereby endorse the jitney routes as laid out by the Common Council of the City of Bridgeport, and believe them to be the routes of public neces- sity and convenience. We also pro- test the limited number of permits granted, which seem inadequate.

 Minor S. Treat, President Anna Catlin, Vice President William s. Hoffman, Secretary. Harry Williams. Treasurer" Officials of the organization stated today that the resolution was to be | offered to the jitneymen to be used | in case the commissions decision was | contested in court.

 For State

Women who are said by the police Ito have been frequenters of the Savoy tcafe, 40 Elm street, appeared as wit nesses for the state in the city court for a liquor violation.
 The women and girls who testified against Davis this morning, told of liquor being sold in the cafe, and also admitted having visited the place for immoral purposes. The case of Mrs Mabel Johnson. of Harrison street, who was recently arrested in company with a man in the Alpine hotel was brought to the attention of Judge Cemley, and the fact was repeated, that the young woman had first met the man in the Savoy.
 Davis claimed in his own defense, that the wine seized by the police in his cafe. was of the Italian variety and notwithstanding. He said that if it was found to contain more than one and one-half per cent. alcohol, it must have fermented while in posses sicn of the police. The liquor was subjected to a test within 10 hours after seizure, however, and at that time contained from three to five per cent. alcohol.
 The first charge entered against the Savoy proprietor was that of

I do not care to com ment on the rights and wrongs of the participants of the controversy. but inc fact that can not be avoided is that business here will suffer when we are most anxious to build it up again.
