low State on Main the Bridgeport Land & Title company, in building new a few years ago, and the Morris Plan Bank, in an adjoining building, form a large portion of the banking element of Bridgeport.
 Only a few doors north of State street, Main, is the City National Bank, the Peoples Savings Bank, the Mechanics & Farmers Savings Bank. and the City Savings Bank. Across Watson private banking house.
 But aside from the banking insti- tutions, Main street, below State, is getting mighty lonesome. The only signs of gaiety after dark are at the Empire and Park theatres, opposite each other in the first block. The Empire was formerly one of Keeney's s vaudeville chain. The Park for years was the leading playhouse and burlesdue center of Brid geport. Both now play high class moving pictures The I. M. c. A., still in the block will some day-not very far off many hope-move to a different and more spacious location. The Bridgeport Gas Light company and the Bridge port Hydraulic company will in all likelihood long remain in their pres ent locations. The people have to go to them. But other businesses, not only south of State, but in other DOT tons of Main street, are moving north.

". HINCKS TO REPRESENT THE
 LOCAL [. OF [.

An invitation today reached the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce
 asking that representatives be sent
 to a national conference of business
 men to be held at Washington, Feb
 ruary and g, for the purpose of
 considering the railroad situation and
 what should be done about it from
 the business standpoint
 The conference is to be held under sthe auspices of the National Council
 of the Chamber of Commerce of the
 United States. More than 1,400 bus
 3ness organizations throughout the
 country holding membership in the
 National Chamber have been asked to participate in the conference. The
 National Council Is made up of one
 representative each from these bus Illness organizations.
 The railroad committee of the
 Chamber of Commerce Of the United
 States is of the opinion that the
 Transportation Act can be left un touched and at the same time there { can be worked out a constructive : plan which will help solve the prob lem. It will prepare a report so be
 presented at the council meeting sug-
 gesting a program for dealing with
 the situation. This report when com pleted will propose means for keep
 ing the national interest in adequate Transportation foremost in all meas ures which may be taken in relation ito transp portation.
 1 The National Chambers railroad tcommittee in the past has made sug gesdons which have been adopted by the Chambers membership and the corresponding principles subsequently { have appeared in 1egisla tion. The Transpo Act itself contains many features which the committee bstrongly recommends as a result of the years of study which it has de- voted to railroad transportation in the United States.
 '"The Council is a peculiarly appro- ! priate body" says a statement by the Chamber, ''to consider questions of the internal operations of the Cham ] Der. The subject of nomination of directors has been given great inn portance ever since the organization of the Chamber. The founders of the Chamber and its members always 5 shave placed emphasis on the fact that the Council is a truly representativ body. In keeping this tradition in mind the new plan for nominations makes it possible for the presidents of the 1,400 organizations within the Chamber to participate in bringing E forward candidates for the board of directors to which elections regular 1y will be made next spring.

IS BRIDGEPORT MOVING UP TOWN?
Several Changes From Low CT Main Street, To Build ings Near Center, Cause of Question.

Is Bridgeport moving uptown" like New York? The continuous trend of retail business from loca- tions on lower Main street to build ing further up the main thorough fare, or on other streets crossing Main street has caused the question. Main street, at and below State street, is rapidly becoming a banking cen ter. The new building of the First National Bank, the newer home of the Bridgeport Savings Bank, and the still more recent completion Of Hincks Brothers handsome new structure, guarantees the life of this section of thhe city for many years to come.
 The Brid geport Trust company, and the James T. Staples Bank are both near the corner on State street. Be-
