FEWER DEATHS ARE
 REPORTED CAUSED
 BY TYPHOID FEVER

The first seven months of 1922 have shown encouraging decrease in the number of deaths from typhoid fever. Last year five persons died of the disease in Bridgeport; this year only one case has been reported with no deaths.
 The disease usually makes it's greatest fnroads about the end of va cation time each year. People com ing back from places where the milk, water and food supplies have not been thoroughly looked after, are usually more susceptible to the dis ease, Dr.. William H. Coon. public health officer, has indicated.
 The weekly morbidity report of the State Department of Health for the week ending at II a. m. Monday, July 31, shows the following number of cases of the various diseases as hav- ing been reported from Bridgeport: Diphtheria, two; smallpox, one; scar let fever, four. whooping cough, three; measles, five; and typhoid fe- yer. one.
 With one-fifth of the state popula- tion Bridgeport has only one of 21 cases of typhoid in the state; only five of the Il cases of measles in the state; two of the 27 cases of diphthe- ria; three of the 62 cases of whoop- ing cough; four of the 15 cases of scarlet fever.
 The only case of smallpox reported in the state was from Bridgeport, but this disease is said to be waning and 1t is expected to be curbed in the very near future

Pity The Poor Fish;
 Not Safe Anywhere

Sea gulls in the harbor are waxing fat these days on herring, driven in from the Sound by large schools of sharks that are waxing fat on them, deYouring hundreds of herrin and threatening to wipe out the herring from the fish family.
 The herring, poor fish that they are. swim in the confines of the harbor seeking shelter, thinking that they will be safe from the huge jaws of the sharks, but alas! they think not that there are countless numbers of sea gulls whose stomachs long for herring, kfppered OF otherwise. These hungry guIls whose homes are in the creviceS and hooks secreted from the eyes of the mob, come cut daily, sweep the sky about the harbor, swoop down and carry off herring after herring to their homes. there to devour them and feed them to their young.
 From the Stratford avenue bridge people watch daily the antics of the gulls. So it is Et- earIly that the FOOT fish are G. tween the "6eyil and the deep blue sea-" What the fish will do is a problem to be solved by some bright young man. seeking to make a name for himself.

GIVES COLLECTION
 0F CITY CHARTERS
 TO COURT LIBRARY

Ex-mayor Henry Lee has donated a collection of city charters, to the Court House Library, dating back to the original one granted in 1886. There are II books in the collection, which embrace all the amendments to the original charter, to date. In the first charter, signed by Chauncy Cleveland, speaker of the House of Representatives, and Ebenezer Stod- ard, president of the Senate, and ap- proved by Henry w. Edwards the 27th governor of the state, there are 69 sections. At present there are about 153 sections in the city char ter.
 The signature of Royal R. Hinman, secretary of state is also affixed to the published charter verifying that it is a true copy of the original.
 Another book which is owned by the library and so highly prized that it is kept in a. safe, is an old edition of the Acts of the Assembly of New York from 1897 to 1725. At one time an offer of $10O was declined by the library committee for this book.
 A document dated 1872 in Fairfield, whereby two colored slaves, are freed by their owner, Rebecca Jennings is among the antique collection of Charles Evans the court librarian.
