Changes in City
 Charter Imperative

(Continued from Page One) People who serve the city ought to be selected upon merit. and fitness. Once selected they should hold their posi- tions during good behavior. The work of the mayor would be much simplifed if these charter changes were made.''
 Mayor Atwater did not say so in terms, but he plainly felt that it is bad business and not very good jus tice to turn good servants out of of 1ics, just because there has been a change after an election, a multitude of clerks, stenographers. street fore men, Inspectors and others holding clerical positions, or jobs requiring specialized skill of one sort or an other.

 T certainly am in favor of inn proving our government, and am going to do all that I can to help bring this deserving reform into be- ing"

Connecticut Agricultural College to the Poultry Departments of each state in the United States. Thirty eight states sent 1n replies to this questionnaire. The replies indicate that on the basis of present plans and matches there will be an increase of about 10 per cent. in the number of hens in the United States next year. The greatest increases are predicted fin the Southern States, Florida, Ala bana, Mississippi and Louisiana, about 20 per cent, and in New Eng land, about IS per cent. California, it is interesting to note, is the only state which reports no increase, while the probable increase in the other Pacific Coast states is very low. In the North Central states. where nearly two-thirds of the eggs of the United States are produced, the esti- 1aated increase is uniformly about 10 per cent.
 With the exception of one state. whose conditions are peculiar, every state reports a marked tendency on the parts of farmers to use better methods in marketing their eggs and in every section attempts are being made to- develop the cooperative method of marketing.

Gas Company Has Full Stock
 Of Coal And Oil For Year
Gas Company Preparing to Meet Gas Demand Ex- pected to Follow Upon Short, High Priced Coal

Though the present situation will doubtless make it difficult to obtain coal this winter. and the probability is that there will be a large demand for gas heating purposes, we are pre- pared to meet any emergency"
 This statement was made today by George S. Hawley, vice-president of the Bridgeport Gas Light company, when questioned this morning by a Times reporter, rgarding the ability of the company to supply the tncreas- ed needs of the city for gas for heat ing purposes.
 MT. Hawley said: we are equipped to supply any amount of gas that may be required. It is evidence that though the strike should be settled soon, there will be difficulty in getting coal. and there is every reason to be- Heve that what coal is obtainable will be high priced. We began many months ago to purchase coal in large quantities, and we now have a full stock on hand and a years contract for oil"
 In reply to a question regarding the amount of coal and oil needed in a year, MT. Haw1ey said that to be

MISSING WORLD
 PLIERS HUNT ON

Calcutta, India, Aug. 21.-(INS)- Search was being made today for Cap tin Norman MacMilln and Captain Mailins, round the world fliers, who have not been heard from since they left here ons Friday for Rangoon. Shortly after their departure ter- rife cyclone came up and 1t IS reared t|oev were conpel1ed to land in some f;olated part of the coast.
 The round the world flight was for merly in charge of Major W. T. Blake, British aviator, who set out from London with MacMillan and Mailin- son OH May 24.

prepared to meet the city's needs both in normal and abnormal times re- quires care and foresight as the gas company uses about 30,000 tons of coal and over 3,0O0,000 gallons of re- fined oil.
 When asked about heating houses by gas MT. Hawley said: '.In order to heat an entire house with gas it is necessary to have a special gas fur mace or boiler. Many of these are in use in large cities for heating large apartment houses, office buildings and dwellings, but in my opinion in most eases the houses in Bridgeport will be heated, where coal cannot be secured. by using such appliances as gas heat CTS, gas freplaces and individual gas steam radiators In this way rooms need be heated only when in use, thus saving money.''
 "The people of Bridgeport" con cluded MT. Hawley. therefore need have no worry, for if they have the gas heating appliances or are able to obtain them, the gas company being fully equipped and prepared to meet any emergency, they can live in con- fort during the winter.''

''NOt True About Dock Property, We'll Buy
 If We Can---AtWater

sThere is positively no truth in the statements published that the city won't buy the Wheeler & Howes dock property or any other dock property to be used as a city wharf," Mayor Fred Atwater stated today.
 "The committee appointed to seek an available dock site has not come to any decision. We are waiting for recommendations from the city en- gineer and the director of public works on the Wheeler & Howes prop osition and others that we have look ed over.'
 Reports printed said that the dock committee would report unfayorably at the next meeting of the Common Council but this is denied by the mayor who declared that no finding had been made by the committee yet The mayor stated today that the com Inittee would be called together be- fore the next council meeting.

 Rail Conference, Wednesday. The government plans no further step in the railroad situation until Wed- nesday's conference between the rail- way executives and the strike leaders in Nv York reveals whether a basis of adjustment has been reached. Pri- vate advices received in Washington by Senators and others and relayed to the White House indicate such basis has been found and will be ratified on Wednesday.
 Bert Jewell, national director of tho shopmen's strike returnd to the Capitol today to await the New York conference. He would not comment on the New York negotiations other than to deny reports that he had sent them to prepare for the end of the strike. He would have no authority to do so, He said. That is a matter of policy that must be decided upon by the policy committee of the strik- ing shopcrafts.
 Jewel Awaiting Farley.
 Jewell said he did not expect to see President Harding again prior to the New York meeting on Wednes- day.
 Meanwhile, Congress gave indica- ton today of dallying with the Pres ident's suggestions for legislation m the coal industry.
 With the tariff in conference and the controversy over the bonus next coming to bat, Congress appeared in no hurry to enact MT. Harding's re- commentators into legislation. The Federal Fact-Finding Commission to explore the entire coal industry from top to bottom probably will be authorized shortly, but the national coal agency to buy and sell coal like ly will be delayed for some time if it IS ever established.
 The enactment of the Kellogg Bill, giving the Federal Courts power to intervene where aliens are concerned in strike riots. also is likely to be long delayed. Pacific Coast Congress men are almost universally against it because of the Japanese question and other Congressmen conider it an in- terferenece with States rights

On Friday afternoon the mayor vis- ited the city dock property at the City Yard. After looking over the property I believe that it is entirely inadequate and no large ship would be able to tie up there," the mayor said. "I have also looked over the Bost- wick avenue property with the com mittee, and find that 1t would cost almost twice as much to put it in shape as the Wheeler & Howe prop erty. Now is the time for the city to purchase the Wheeler property. The city will never have another chance to obtain such a site at the figure it is now quoted. If for only to purchase the property"
 Referring to the statement that the committee woul recommend the filling in of the Bostwick avenue, the mayor said: 'This scheme has long been in the works"

Cooperation Seen /
 In Marketing Eggs

The present poultry situation in the United States is characterized by two outstanding conditions of signifl- canoe to pou1trymen. The first of these is the fact that farmers ming to increase the size of their focks the coming laying season.

 This done, he then entertained the onlookers as on days before his con- ffnement by sweeping up large piles of dust with his trunk and throwing them over his back.
