Residents Complain Of Neglected Street

Residents of Jefferson street in the Stra tfie1d district have filed a conn plaint about the condition of their street with the County Gem missioners who have ordered the selectmen to appear before April and show why 3Ae,r nave neglected it..
 They complain that the street Is impossible and that no effort has been made to repair it.
 Town officials said that the road is not in the condition that the resi- dents say il is. They said that the people living on the street are former Bridgeporters and because repairs are not made on the spur of the moment they go up in the air.
 Residents of Churchill street are contemplating filing a similar com plaint to that of the Jefferson street people.

Connecticut Council Of Catholic Women One Of Leading Societies In
 State For Social Service Work

The recent formation at Hartford of the Connecticut Council of Catholic Men, designed to function as a cen tral body for the carrying on of so- cia1 service work by Catholic laymen under the direction of the Diocesan Bureau of Social Sedvice, has again focused public attention on it's com panion organization. the Connecticut Council of Catholic Women, which is nearly two years the senior of the mems body. A Bridgeport Unit of the the Connecticut Council of Cath ollie Women is already functioning under the able leadership of Mrs. Si- mon Crehan, assisted by Mrs. M J. Flanagan, treasurer; Miss Nellie Dunn, secretary, and a number of committees in charge of special activ
 ities- The Bridgeport Unit has ac- complished much in it's short exist ence and promises to do much more in the future. To clearly understand it's purpose and the field which it covers, it is first necessary to visualize the place which it has in the diocesan and national organizations of which it is part, the Connecticut Council of Catholic Women operating as a branch of the Diocesan Bureau of So- cial Service, and the National Council of Catholic Women, which with the National Council of Catholic Men con stitutes the Department of Lay Ac- tivities of the NationaHCatholic Vel fare Council. /
 The National Catholic Welfafe Council was an outgrowth of the World War, formed in 1919 because of the success of the experiment made during the war of carrying on many phases of the expanded program of Catholic welfare work under the guid- ance of a national body. The Ma
 tional Catholic Welfare Council is di- vided into five departments, includ- ing education social action, press and lay activities. I've national Organi- cations, the National Council of Catha olic Men and the National Council of Catholic Women function under De partment of Lay Activities.
 Coming down to the Diocese of Hartford, the boundrieS of which are COeXtensive with the state of Connec- ticut, the diocesan branch of the De- partment of Lay Activities operates under the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service, established in May. 1920, of which Rev. Matthew Judge, well known here as the first head of the local Catholic Charitable Bureau, is director. Experience has demon Strated that some branches of social service work are best carried on by men and other branches better suited for a women's organization. Accord ingIy the same division is made in the diocesan orga anization as in the national body, and the Connecticut Council of Catholic Women was form ed to carry on such work as the Big Sister movement, Catechism Centers. etc, and work of the character of the Big Brother movement, the Boy necticut Council of~ Catholic Men

a second floor apartment at S99 Bush

the brownstone house which is the

The circumstance which made him

Shookoff much gratification-until 4

to 1863 Shookoff was well pleased to
live near the Mayor.
1t wasn't only matter of social
distinction. 1t was something to be
able to point casually through your
kitchen window and say to your out of
town relatives: "See that fence over
there? That's the Mayors back gar

from distant parts were always quite
bit lifted up at being able to say 20

Shookoff-he lives right close to where
the Mayor of New York lives. Almost
next door, you might say"
But that wasn't all. The Mayors

Hoao About the League?
Coz Asks Londoners

William Clifford, of Duluth,
Mimi, who is at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel after trip to Lon
don, said yesterday that he saw
James M. Cox at the Savoy Hotel
in that city.
Almost the first thing that Mr..
Cox did after getting his bear
ings in the hotel" said Mr.. Cliff
ford, "was to stop group Of
men, total strangers to him, and.
bowing politely, say: 4 am an
American gentleman who was al
most elected President of the
United States two years ago.
Would you mind giving me your
opinion on the League of Nations,
how successful it is to-day and
how much more successful it
would have been had America en-
tered it?"
That's as far as Mr.. Clifford's
story goes.

Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, Shookoff

from the icebox, because everybody
else was away at the seashore. He
planned to go to the seashore himself
last night. Going and coming each
time there were police and detectives
all around the landscape. Even boot

anything on that block.

out of clothes, light furniture and fit

knew nothing of the value of rare old

he is looking for an apartment next

Berlin Reaffirms Stand

BERLIN, Aug. (By The Associated
Press).-In supplementary note sent
to Paris tonight the German govern
ment reaffirms the position it assumed
in its original communication with re-
gard to the payment of private debts
contracted with Frenchmen before the
war. The note declares the German
government does not propose to de-
fault in carrying out the payments,
but merely requested reduction of
the amount to be paid.
The note calls attention to the Brit
ish and Belgian replies, and asserts
that neither the Versailles Treaty nor
The London agreement provides Tor
punitive measures before August 15, on
which date the next installment of the
debt payment is due.
II concludes with the hope that ac-
ton will be deferred until the repara-
tons question is regulated.
The note is accompanied by statisti-
cal data on German finances and eco
nemics.

Session
Urged to Curb
Coal Grating 9
Assemblyman Jesse Asks
Governor TO Act, Fearing
Landlords Will Seize the
Excuse to Boost Rents
Needs Power, Says Miller
Big Dealers Here Have AL.
ready More Than Dou-
bled Price of Bituminous

Assemblyman George N. Jesse, Re
publican, of Manhattan, urged Gov
ernor Miller yesterday to call a spe-
cial session of the Legislature to pass
legislation on account Of the coal and
rail strike and to avert, if possible, a
coal famine in New York City.
The Manhattan Assemblyman fears
an unwarranted rise in the price of
coal and wholesale profiteering on the
part of grasping landlords and thinks
that the Governor should have emer-
gency powers to cope with the threat
ened embarrassment. Mr.. Jesse made
public two letters he has written the
Governor together with the Governors
reply to his messages. His second let
ter says that the Governors commits
sion needs broader powers than it now
has and that the special session of the
Legislature could give them.
Governor Miller, who had a confer
ence with President Harding in Wash
ington on Thursday was at the National
Republican Club yesterday on his way
back to Albany and Lake George
~ am certain that when the coal ais-
tribution begins, which believe will
be soon." said the Governor, "New York
state will receive its quota based on
past consumption"
The Governor declined to discuss. his
interview with President Harding and
Secretary Hoover.
One Of Assemblyman Jesse's letters
to the Governor said:
"That the result Of the present
strikes (railroad and coalO has resulted
in the unwarranted increase in prices
not alone of coal, but of other nee
essary commodities, is already appar-
ent; we find that the increase in the
price of coal since the beginning of
the strike has been more than 100 per
cent and with the coming of the winter
months, when the consumption will be
very much greater, it is not hard to
foresee a price which will be almost
prohibitive to the hundreds of thou
sands of poor people throughout the
state"
After the appointment of the Gov
ernor's commission, headed by Eu-
genius Outerbridge, chairman Of the
Port Authority. Assemblyman Jesse
sent the Governor a second letter, sug-
gesting broader powers for the COM
mission, and that they have the au-
thority, among other things, to pur-
chase coal and distribute it in case Of
extreme need. The Governor sent the
following reply:
81 acknowledge your letter Of July
20, which has only just been received
to-day. It may be necessary to call
an extraordinary session of the Legis-
lature, and in such case you may be
sure l shall not hesitate to do so.
"The immediate thing that will help
save the situation will be the resump-
tion of mining in the anthracite fields.
The New York State Legislature can
not hasten that, as, unfortunately, we
have no coal mines. OF course, the
committee appointed BY me will be
able for the most part to exercise only
moral suasion, and can foresee that
it will be necessary to clothe them
with power.
81 am obliged to you for your sug-
pestion."
