DENIED PLEASURES OF TABLE

Then, with a shrug of the shoulders
and a sigh, but ill-c0ncealed by a cyni-
cal remark, he left tile table, and
shortly afterward his host saw him

toward the training grounds.
Later on he partook of a tiny glass
of champagne and a biscuit, playing
one game of billiards, and retired to

May Be Hearing
 on Barrow Death

With Dr. S. M. Gar1ick, Medical Examiner, to give his report today on the cause of the death of John Bar rows, Trumbull, who died at St. Vim cents hospital, Friday, the mans death is likely to prove a subject of investigation upon the part of Cor oner John J. Phe1an. Barrows, who was about 47 years of age, was struck by an automobile on November 2, and while he suffered a broken right leg, below the knee, and two fractured ribs, it was not believed that his con- dition was serious.
 Apparently doing we'll, pneumonia set in, and shortly caused his death. It Is believed that one of the frac- tured ribs punctured the lungs, caus- ing his relapse. Efforts to locate the Trumbull authorities were fruit1ess today, but it is believed every effort is now being made, due to the unex- pected turn of the case, to locate the offending 1notorist, no arrests being at tempted at the time because of the supposed lightness of the case.

Suburban Lines Fare l angle May

Charles c. Sanford, local trustee of the Connecticut company stated to a Times reporter this morning that he knew of no new developments, in the protest against the increased fare to Stratford and Fairfield residents. but that he believed anything that has developed unfair to any certain com munfty will be rectifed by the Public Utilities commission at a meeting to be held today or tomorrow.
 No report, officially, had as yet reached him from Manager J. B. Pot ter of the Bridgeport lines. Anent the Norwalk trial five cent line, from Nor walk to the South Norwa1k railroad station, Sanford stated that reports one day during the past week showed that fares were collected on this line equal to half the population of Great CT Norwalk.
 He admitted that the same people as a general thing rode the line four times a day, and that only a portion of the population benefited. Many complaints have been heard from other Norwalk people, and 1t is not believed the present arrangement VIII loC ct

Atwater To Make All
 Appointments

Town Chairman John A. Cornell holds the reins of Democratic power, and his suggestions to a large extent will influence the appointments of Mayor Fred Atwater. Despite per sistent reports to the contrary, the town Democratic committee will not be the appointive body and will not control the distribution of political rewards. This was definitely learned today on authentic authority from the party leaders.
 Mayor Atwater will be the one per son to make the appointments, but they will not be made until after he confers with Chairman Cornell. through earlier conferences with the town committee, Chairman Cornell will be we'll acquainted with their choice of candidates for the various berths. and, if they are agreeable to him, they will be passed on to Mayor Atwater for appointment.

Woman After
 lob On Force

One woman who had heard the ru- nor that police women might De ap- pointed to the Bridgeport Ponce oe. partment, was on the job brlsht anu early this morning. She appeared al headuuarters shortly before o'cIock, and informed Captain Clayton IL. Smith that she was candidate TOT appointment to the force.
 After he had recovered rom the shock of the surprise, Captain Snltn informed the visitor that he was mighty sorry. but he couldn't give her a job right away. He gave her an Duplication blank however. and the applicant voiced her intention of ill., ing the paper out right away because she believes that the early bird al ways snatches the worm.
 When asked about the idea of ap- pointing women to the police force Supt Patrick Flanagan said bnls morning that such a procedure had not been seriously considered by hin.
 'tI have never suggested to the commissioners that weGnen be ap- pointed to the police departme ent, said the superintendent, "and had not intended to do so at the pres ent time. Po1fcewomen could help. us a lot in some ways. but in others they would be of no assistance. We might use them in factories, in dance halls and, on the streets. and they might also do good work against certain classes of doctors and others who perform illegal operations. Most or the big stores have women detectives of their own, and they keep a close watch on shop filters and sneak thieves"

 almost every city department by the general survey just completed by Mayor Atwater, and in addition there is more than $80O,000 in outstanding debts that must be met.
 "A six mill tax will be recommend ed," Mayor Atwater declared today, ''but even that will not be sufficient to meet the heavy deficiencies in the add another mill, for the taxpayers burden is heavy enough as it is.''
 In addition to laying the special tax, Mayor Atwater today ordered a spec ta1 drive for back taxes on the part of Tax Collector Edward A. Drew. It is hoped in this way to add between $100.000 and $15O,O00 to help meet the pending deficits
 The special six mill tax will be laid on the 192o-21 grand list of s244.s25.- 794. The tax should raise $1,469- 554.76, but as only 75 per cent. is re- garded as collecttble, it will yield ne actual collections have been accounted 1t is extremely probably that no more than $1.oo0,O0O will have been se- cured.
 On the old tax lists with hundreds Of taxpayers delinquent in their settle ment. between $100,00O and Sl5OOOO is expected, bringing the grand total that ought to be raised to defray municipal expenses to approximately $1,200.00O.
 Tax Collector Drew will be further instructed to collect several benefits ana assessments on taxpayers that have been due the city for years past, and have yet been uncoIlected.
 Facing Mayor Atwater Is the task of making the $1,2OO,OOO cover the total debt and deficiency of approximately fiscal year ends on March 31. 1922
 The short term deficiency note issue of $5OO,00O that the Board of Appor- aonnent expected would be available If h ESIr 1-n fTNT- i1-- gency as now exists, has not been disposed of because of the five per cent. rate of interests. The issue or 6an s2So,ooo Grand street bridge long delayed teach CTS bonus which amounts to about S115,00O. There is also another item of s5,O00 caused by the increases in the salaries of the City court officials, granted at the last session of the legislature.
 The short term notes, Grand street bridge bonds, teachers bonus and court salaries aggregate $S50,OO0 to be paid. In addition, there is a de- flcdt of s30O,OOO already apparent in the Charities Department, bringing the deficiency to s1,150.O00, while prospective dehc1ts in all the amount to between S500,OOO and se00,000, making a grand total deficit at the end Of the year of $1,700,-
 With the special tax proceeds dis tributed, there will remain at least s5 ,0o0 that Mayor Atwater and his administration will have to carry over to next year as a legacy from the Wilson term.
 The addition of the special six mill tax to the regular tax of 2S.9 which was laid last February by the Board of Apportionment, will make the to- tai 1921-22 tax 34.9 mills, the high est and heaviest tax that has ever been Ir11posed in the history of the city of Bridgeport.

 ''Pl11ns' ;
Many New Faces Look ed For When Harvest ing By Democrats Be- gins.

When Mayor Atwater and the execu- tive Democratic committee begin shaking the plums from the political tree, many are the new faces that will be seen in the Welfare Building and many are the familiar faces that will disappear. The several city depart ments in the building with their large clerical and professional staffs afford an ideal opportunity for the payment of prediction promises, and already longing Democratic .eyes are being cast towards the institution. Many of the most coveted appointments are in the building which harborS the Health and Charities Department well as the municipal clinics and emergency hospital.
 In addition to two new members who must be appointed next month to both the Health and Charities De- partments, the berths of Health Off, dcer and Superintendent of Charities are being sought by several aspiring Democrats. Whether changes will be made in these positions is extremely doubtful, however. A compensation of $5,O00 a year accompanies each position. The berths of assistant health officer at $2,000 a year, and assistant superintendent of charities
