4 GOOD way to determine
n how much it costs TO rot a
building is to find out how much
lumber, needed to repair or re-
build, would cost.
You'll find that it costs several
times as much as the paint which
saves repairs. Paint your build
ings when they need it. Rotting
property is wasteful and extrava-
CANT.
The most economical paint, in
the long run, is the best paint.
It's easy to apply-saves labor
cost. 1t covers more area per
gallon than cheap" paint.
The best paint serves five or more
years longer than CHEAP" paint.
The best paint is economical be-

The first case called was that of An drew J. StempeI, 100 Roosevelt street, listed as driving while under the in- ftuence of Hquer.

Broad Street To Be Wider

Plans for widening ard paving of Broad street are being made by City Engineer James A. McElroy. The pro- posed plans vii make the street a 55 foot one with a road feet wide as compared with it's preselt width of 31 feet. When the plans are complet- ed it is expected that a, concrete road will be put down to replace the pres ent brick pavement. from Fairfield avenue to State street.
 In recent years the traffic between these two streets on Broad street has has increased considerably due to the motorizing of the poastal trans portation equipment. At the time that the petition for the broading of the street was granted several claims by the properly owners on the street were made and some of these claims were awarded.
 At present it appears that there is an objection forthcoming by some of the property owners on the claim that the awards made them were not sufficient. The only buildings that will be affected by the establishme S of the new building line on the street will be those on the east side of the street between Fairfield avenue and Cannon street.

Flying Squad
 Not In Sight

The purpose of an expected Bridge port visit by Special Agent Blair, of Washington, with squad of men, could not be ascertained this morning. Agent Blair, who operates directly out of Washington is usually interest ed with matters pertaining to the 1n- ternal revenue and income tax end of the government enforcement, rather than the prohibition division, but Division Chief William J. O'Conne1l, of the local internal revenue office in the Federal building, stated at noon today that he knew nothing of the rumored visit.
 Neither is it believed that the Eckart Breweries company is again under scrutiny, for less than a week ago an inspection squad from Hart, ford placed the stamp of approval upon activities there. Prohibition Agent Frank Fowler, in charge of the local office knows of nothing in con nection with their work that calls for a visit from a special squad, although admitted he too had heard rumors of their coming.
 At the office of the County Com missioners a visit to Bridgeport today was described as unofficial, having no connection of the rumored visit Of the Washington men the local proh1- bitfon office, or the matter Of rebates on nuuor licenses, which have not as vet been paid. While no one seems to know the purpose of the visit, the feeling persists that such a visit is due and an air of expectancy per vades each of several offices where the visit might prove of importance.

Trolleymen Buck Proposal Platform Employees Oppose Cut to 55 Cents Per
 Hour Maximum

New Haven, May 23-Opposition of the trolley motormen ard conductors. known as the platform employees, to the proposal of the Connecticut com = pany to cut wages from a maximum of 55 cents per hour to 50 cents was everywhere apparent, as the respec- tive unions of trolleymen in the various cities of the state cast their votes on the conpany's offer today.
 At mass meeting in this city last night the sentiment was almost un- animous against acceptance of the offer. The proposal of the company Is for a wage of 43 cents an hour for the first three months employment, 49 cents per hour for the following nine months and thereafter 50 cents an hour.
 The trolleymen accepted a cut of five cents year ago and expressed the belief that this discounted any reduction in the cost of living which has occurred here since the war, or is likely during the next year.
 Sentiment was growing among local trolleymen today for submission of the differences to arbitration as has been done in several previous years The vote of the employees will be sub mitted to the company by the general committee meeting here, when the ballots are cast.

 The Westville men arrived first at the appointed Klan meeting place, according to the story told today and pay their way in.
