P. U. Commission Grants Permission For 3 Extra Buses To Fairfield Beach

It was learned today through Attor- ney John T. Hubbard, counsel for the Central Bus association that per mission has been granted the Bus association by the Public Utilities Commission to run three extra buses from Penfield road in Fairfield to Fairfield Beach when they feel that the crowds are too large for the two regular buses which now run to handle. A permit was sought some time ago by Attorney Hubbard but it was only about a week ago the Utili- ties Commission granted it.
 Since the beginning of the season at Fairfield Beach, two buses have been running from Penfield road to the pavilion at Fairfield beach. The service offered by these two buses has been fairly good, up until a week ago when the crowds became too large for the bus operators to handle. WheI, the decision was granted giving per mission to run three extra buses when ever the company deemed it expedi- ent.

CONTRACT BOARD HAD BUSY YEAR

Invoices passing through the Board of Contract and Supply for the past fiscal year ending March 31, 1922, totaled s632,392.24, Clerk Frank Green of the board announced today. The past year was one of the busiest that the board has ever experienced. It is estimated that the difference be- tween. the total for the two past fiscal years Is $30,OO0.
 This difference is attributed to the fact that prices have dropped con siderably since 1921. The same quan- tity of material has been. purchased by the board during the past year. It is estimated that a real saving will be realized when discounts on material purchased by the city is figured up. The discount practice did not go in- to effect until this year.

! said, Bridgeport has without a doubt one of the finest Traffic Bureaus in the state.
 Ut has a reputation, statewide, not only because of the war they wage on reckless drivers, but because of the manner in which the whole depart ment co-operates in an attempt to prevent motor law violations rather than to arrest the violators.''
 The department has most of the motorists of the city on their toes to- day and the recent schools of inStruc- tions; and other scheme put in vogue by Captain Walker, in an attempt to make Bridgeport the foremost city in the world in the matter of Safety for both pedestrians and motorists are beginning to bear fruit.

 Service of notice will probably be made individually upon these men who have been leaders in the local strike. The court hearing on the ap- pHcation of the company for the re- straining order will be in this city on July 29.
 John c. Ready, chairman of the system federation and local chairman of the strikers, said early today that the restraining order came as a sur prise. He also added that he was astonished at the allegations of the company of the nature of the alleged interferences of strikers with opera tion of trains and of alleged damage done to the company's property. He said that reports made to him con stantly indicated that everywhere on the system the striking shopmen had refrained from interference with busi- a peaceful attitude toward those at vOrly

MT. Harding Makes Definitions T h e Right to Work-The Right Not to Work The Guarantee of Safety Error of Governor Morrison Justice of the Olden Days Government by Workers Would Do the Same.

This is the age of definitions. MT. Harding is providing some important definitions They follow establish ed lines, but are filled with import He says that men have the right to refuse to work in mines and on rail roads. He says that other men have the right to work, if they wish. That 1t is the duty of the government to keep order.

The New York Call, a Socialist newspaper of much ability, effects to see in MT. Harding's statement, "free men. willing to work, may work in safety" a bias against the strikers While governments are governments they must keep order. Failing . do so, they are succeeded by govern 1nents that will, even if the new gov ernment is a strong man, ramed Ma poleon, or Lenine.

manager of the National Lumber

in his annual report just made public.
During the past year the lumber

instances, almost complete cessation
of public buying" his report states.
The lumber industry. true to it's slo-
