The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-06-22

Percey T. Litchfield. President Of the New England Coal Company, and Chairman of the Municipal Traffic Comm ission, was speaker today at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Stratfield. MT. Litchfield is said to be one of the best informed traffic men in New England having been ac- lively engaged in traffic work for twenty-five years. Of this time five years were spent as assistant superin- tendant of a division, seven years as Train Master, and three years as Su- perintendant of a division.
 Mir Litchfield spoke to members of the Chamber of Commerce this noon on matters connected with street transportation taking as his subject Street Transportation-Jit vs. Trolley-Subsidized, Suffocated, or Synchronized-" He said in part:
 The Chamber of Commerce, as the most representative civic organization in the city, the full and complete dis cussions which have been had dur ing the past year concerning trolley jitney competition. cannot consistently take a passive position with reference to the hearings to be held by the P. U. C. on the granting of permits. They should be wei Represented with de- finite and positive recommendations"

Judge Orders lnjunctions
 Dissolved

Judge Kellogg at the opening of Superior court this morning granted motion of w. H. Comley, city at torney, that injunctions be dissolved, that have tied up money transactions of the city for some time past.
 The motion was agreed to by At torney John J. Cul1inan who appear ed today for ex-Fire Chief Thomas Mooney, who had obtained an injunc- ton preventing the payment of amounts in excess of appropriations in any of the city departments.
 The other injunction involved, and which was also dissolved by the mo- ton was that brought by Attorney David S. Day for 23 members of the Chamber of Commerce againet the Bridgeport Construction company.
 The signing of the validating act by Governor Lake had removed the necessity of the injunctions, and it was expected that a movement to have them dissolved, now mutually agreeable, would be made at the earliest opportunity.
