How Waste, Graft
 And Extravaganza Ruled Bridgeport
(Continued from Page One) ty from $2O0,000 to S400,OOO mol an if should have cost.

1FOIn ohSJ city from S2OO,O0O to s4OO,000 more than it should have cost.
 Business to Favored Firms.
 Lill shows that during several years a very large proportion of all public works construction in the City of Bridgeport has been allotted to two or three companies upon cost plus basis. There was no adequate reason Cor this practice.
 The Annual Deficiencies.
 The law forbids city officials from contracting bills for which no revenue exists. From 1910 to 1922, there was an increasing deficiency, which 1920 was S357,000 and in 1922, S334,072.22.
 Unlawful Method.
 Unlawfulness was characterlst1c of these ten years. It was present in the manner of contracting bills, in the manner of letting contracts, in the manner of handling tax assessments. in the manner of handling tax re- ceipts.
 The tax collector had in his pos session, unlawfully, at one period the sum of s4,311, ,540.97.
 The same collector finally became defaulter in the sum of more than |ss5. 900, and is now a fugitive from justice.
 During this period it is probable that direct bribery was not uncom- mon, though only one conviction for this crime took place.
 Grand Street Bridge.
 Grand Street Bridge which was contracted at a cost of $213,00O, cost before it was completed very close to $1,0OO,o0O.
 Everybody a Policeman.
 As a condition of carrying pri- maries or elections the number of police increased from one to each 911 persons to one for each 485 persons in Bridgeport.
 Heavy Taxes.
 Under these conditions of illegality, waste, extravaganza, embezzlement and corruption the cost of operating the city became an intolerable bur den. Rents increased inord:nately This condition led to the revolution of last November. The city is now in the hands of Fred Atwater who has to learn the business of being mayor but, who nevertheless is steadily re- storing business methods, and accom- plishing saving for the citizens
 What King Says. to The Bridgeport, Telegram. replied to the statement of George Eames printed in The Times, Saturday. MT. King asserts that he is not opposed to manu;ac cturers' or business people and asks a series of questions.
 Does Flames approve of S1,OOO,OOO spent for parks?
 Of the sums spent for schools? Of Stratford avenue bridge?
 Of the new alms house2
 Of the Isolation Hospital and Health Buildings?
 Ot millions expended for paving? King then takes the war to Eames accuses him of favoring free trade King implies that he favors the re- Irn of Schuyler Merritt, of Stamford to Congress, gives the tariff bill a toost, pats fremen, police and school ceachers on the back. tells nanuac- turers they'd better keep out of poIi- tcs as body, threatens them with a crushing defeat. and administer a, pat Of appreciation upon the brawny sh builders Of Mayor Fred Atwater.

Deputy Surveyor Sanders and Acting DH7uty Surveyor John McGill were driven below about l a. rn.. yesterday norning.
 Shortly after this the sight ot the of lightning. Hoping to capture all the members aboard the launch fol- lowed the rum runners into the har- Dor and up the East River. The con gestion of traffic caused the officials to fear that they would lose track of the three boats, so three heavily armed d men clambered over the side of the largest sloop the Peter Metzger, and forced the captain and crew of four to surrender.
 Skill Saved Lives
 The commander of the sloop was ordered to turn around and head for the Battery. As he did the sloop was caught between tugs and car floats proceeding in opposite direc- tions. Deputy Surveyor Saunders stated the skilful manoeuvring by the sleeps captain, then a prisoner. saved the boat and the lives of those on board.
 Alter the Peter Metzger was cap tured the launch ran along side the C936 which was towing the Stella and with a display of pistols brought the surrender of both crews. They de- clared that they received the supply of liquor from steamer off the coast, carrying it from the Baha mas and Cuba The captains of the three sloops said they were on their way to their homes in Boston but cust om officials believe they were bound for Brooklyn or Manhattan docks on the East River
