Director Coughlin To Ask
 For Funds To Care For
 Streets During Big Storms

Director of Public. Works George N. Coughlin will appear before one of the coming sessions of the Board of Apportionment and ask funds for the purchase of apparatus to handle the removal of snow and ice from city streets in the future. At pres ent, the department is not only with out apparatus of any kind to handle a heavy snowfall, but is also bereft of funds for such work.
 Following the storm of last We'd nesday when only a few inches of snow fell, the public works depart meth was forced to call upon the charities and health department for assistance. Men and trucks were supplied and enabled Director Cough lin and Superintendent Fitzpatrick to effectively handle the snow and ice covered streets.
 It is the plan Of Director Coughlin to secure a small appropriation that will provide funds for the purchase of several snow blows, that can be attached to either a. horse drawn or motor driven vehicle. Such appliances can be secured at a nominal cost, and would be of wonderful assistance in opening traffic after a storm.
 Arran ngements have been completed by Director Coughlin in preparation for other storms, and he has been promised the fullest cooperation of Health Officer pr. William Hall Coon who will supply any number of motor driven trucks. trailers and side-dumps and with Superintende Angus P. Thorne who will supply whatever la bor Is needed.

Doughboys Knew Nothing About
 Crooks Distress

New York, Jan. IA thousand doughboys returning today from Ger many on the transport Crook learned for the first time that their ship had sprung a leak last Tuesday and had been in danger during great gales that swept the North Atlantic
 Not a crap game stopped was the smiling comment of Captain Frank Peppa, as the Crook wa sbeing flashed to her pier at the transport base in Brooklyn. The transport St. Mihiel which had been despatched to her assistance, accom- panied her up the bay.
 The doughboys eagerly scanned the newspapers giving accounts of the plight of the Crook. and then re- marked that seasickness gave them unore concern than anything else
 Captain Peppa said that most of the crew of 140 were sent below decks to gIug up opened seams. Some water leaked fin and 1t was necessary to re- move baggage. Care was taken to see that the water did not reach the cofffns of 652 bodies of American sol diers which were transported from French cem eterieS for reninterment In their native country soil.
 The Crooks skipper was inclined to belittle the experience. He said some of the rivets had given away, causing the seams to open but that at no time was there great danger.

DECLARES HE IS
 NOT DISSATISFIED WITH MIR. ATWATER

Somebody fell into error when Lynn W. Wilson was included among over the manner in which patronage has been managed by Mayor Fred Atwater.
 q am not dissatisfied with Mayor Atwater's appointments. I have not been dissatisfied with the appoint ments of any mayor as long as I can remember. It never happens that a mayor of the city of Bridgeport does not make reasonably good appoint ments. The thing to be desired in there shall be a good purpose among those who govern.
 Mayor Atwater has been given a hard job to do. He takes over the ment, when the income of the peo- pie is. perhaps, no more than 35 per cent. of normal, and when ten years of heavy expenditures have climaxed in well nigh unbearable financial condition.
 "He has the task of reducing ex- penses, of securing efficiency with 8 reduced personnel. He must do every sort of proper thing which will make 1t easier for the city and its peop1 etc struggle through this emer- gency period. He had my sympathy and support when he was nominated. He has it now that he is elected am certain that no man. Democrat or Republican, who has any sense of the conditions which surround us all will desire to do anything whatever to make this task harder for the mayor He is to cut expenses. All are to help him do it.
 we are pretty sure of getting good men in a city government, sufficiently good men. We are not so sure or getting good policies. Mayor At water has appointed good men, and he will adopt good policies.

More Committees Needed

cumstances, and is able to act in teIlisently. Take for instances, all matters referring to our streets and sidewalks are referred to that com rr1ittee. On the other hand, other matters of equal importance con- corning elections, or parks or even educational matters are sent along to the claims, ordinances or misce1- laneous committees.
 My intention in introducing the resolutions now before the Rules com mittee was for the purpose of estab- fishing more committees to handle the affairs of the important departments and boards for which committee do not exist.
 'I fully believe there should be an a1dermanic committee on education to care for all educational matters. a committee on parks for the affairs of the Park Board, a committee on health and charities for that Import ant board, and so on."
 No outside opposition has met any of Alderman Hogan's resolution, with the exception of the one creating a police committee, which has been re- ferred to City Attorney John A. Cor nell. It is reported that the police commissioners filed an objection to the establishment of such commit tee in the belief that 1t would hinder or cross them in their work.

SAYS NAME WAS PUT ON WARRANT
 AFTER SEIZURE

Charging that his clients name had been placed on warrant after the police had searched his property without authority, Attorney John A. Cornell, Jr., asked that Leon Ling. a Chinese 1aundryman. of 1919 Main street, charged with violating the liquor laws. be placed on trial in the City court today, despite the fact that his case had been nofled. The mo- ton was overruled by Judge Arthur M Com1ey, who declared that the state had a right to nolle the case, and that no stigma was cast upon the character or reputation of Ling by such procedure
 Ling was arrested several weeks ago, when policemen who were searching a saloon in the Keough and
 IcLexy block, in Main street, in cluded his laundry in the hunt and found two bottles of whiskey in the place. It was asserted by Attorney Cornell. that the original warrant did not give the police authority to search Ling's place, and that the laundry mans name had been placed on the warrant after the seizure.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Vim cent l.. Keating maintained that the warrant was issued for the entire block. and Inc policemen acted with in their rights in making the arrest and confiscation-
