Mayors Foes Lose Bridge Bond Bout

Believing Mayor Wilson had slip ped something over in having adopt ed his recommendations to the com mon council on January 21 meeting. in which legislation was authorized for the issuance of $S75,000 bonds os- tensibly for a new East Washington avenue bridge, at the approximate cost of S375,O0O, and for "the carry- ing on of outside public work to the extent of $5OO.O00, the opposi- ton forces made an unsuccessful at- tempt to reconsider the message and it's recommendations last night. In the recommendations, which were adopted apparently while the oppo- nents were off their guard, provis- ions were also made for state legis- lation on the Bridgeport city manager plan and for an investigation ot Bridgeport school by a mayors com mittee assisted by a national expert
 Alderman Lyons, of the fourth. asked for a reconsideration of the message as a preliminary step to set aside it's acceptance. His move was quashed by the objection of Alder man Stone, of the second.
 In an extensive report of the may | or'S transportation committee, sew era1 recommendations were made for i equitable municipal and state super vision of troIIeys and Jitneys-
 | city zone fare, by means of a com pulsory ticket system through a G. | cent fade.
