POLISH ELECTIONS.
Senate Is Chosen With No Outward
 Disturbances.

Warsaw, Nov. 5 (By Associated Press)-The Polish elections ended yerterday with election of the senate. The balloting for senators yesterday passed off very quietly considerably less interest was displayed than in the elections to the Diet.
 A striking feature of the elections was the unification of several of the parties. The Jewish party withdrew all its lists in most of the districts and voted solidly for the candidates Of the national minorities group where there were also withdrawals by the center rarty and some by the radicals, this leaving in most cities only two lists, the nationalists and the socialists.

Another long felt want in Berlin, that of a fire department, will soon be reality if present plans of cer- tain members of the Worthington and kensington fire districts ma aterialize, it was learned by The Herald this morning.
 The proposed plans call for the erection of a fire station next to the Berlin garage on Pennington road di- rectly opposite the Mosel Manufactur- ing company. A fire department sta toned in 6 building at this location would be able to serve both the Ken sington and Worthington districts.
 Without fire department in Ber- lin, fire fighting conditions will be they have been in. the past inasmuch as the town has running water and there are fire hydrants to which the New Britain fire department, when called, can attach its hose.
 There is still the old drawback of having to secure the consent of the first selectman before the New Britain fire department can be called, that most residents are complaining about and it is this coupled with the neccs- sity of fire department in town that has prompted the first district officials to act.
 The matter is to be given full con- sideration by these men and when plans are completed it is expected that

Bridgeport May
 Have Same Rate

That the Bridgeport division of the Connecticut Company will soon have the same fare rate now being follow ed over the balance of the state. and that Norwalk will soon be in the same classification. is indicated from reports emanating from Chairman Highs of the Public Utilities Com mission.
 That the entire state may also ben eft somewhat from the plaints from Bridgeport seems evident in the add ed hint that instead of the three for a quarter plan with transfer privileges, that g. two for 15 cent fare may come, with old fare limits and privileges. It seems probable that the alleged five cent fare" actually affecting some in Norwalk and Bridgeport, and actually being 8 hardship on many others. Is domed to follow the zone system to the Connecticut Company's exper1- mental grave yard.
 Something approaching a seven cent fiat fare with old conditions in reference to transfersS S and hnita- tions. would place Bridgeport in the same class with Baltimore and other Eastern cities

 "One hundred within twenty-four hours" was his answer.
 Well" said I, like, suppose -here was a ten per cent cut?"
 ''They'd be there if there was a fifty per cent. cut, he replied.
 am not sure that I would advise even the Mayors twenty per cent cut, although the facts seem to show that prices have have been reduced to that continue to fall until they reach nor nal level.
 The only figures that I have ever suggested are ten per cent.
 Business Platform.
 MT. Mayor, you were elected by In dependents and Republicans as we'll as Democrats, with the distinct under standing that you would give the City a strictly business, economical admin istration.
 I claim that you are not doing it.
 That the City is not getting in the largest sense a business-like and eco nomica1 administration.
 I claim that the twenty per cent. cuts in the small part where you are tied by prediction promises, and po- Htical advisers is not sufficient.
 That the citizens have a right to ex- pect from you a. business administra- ton the broadest lines; for the good of all; just as far as it can be carried without lowering the stand ards of living as set by wartime salaries.
 Wartime Salaries.
 The extremely high costs of living during wartime were given as the reason for these salaries than estab- 1ished.
 It was right; salaries were none too high, but now. it is different.
 Your failure to make the reduc- tions which had been expected seems to smell of politics.

Made Survey Of
 Factory Space

1 A survey of part of the city's avail able factory space and buildings was made yesterday by the executive committee of the Industrial division of the Chamber of Commerce. The survey was made in order to visual ize the buildings which have been recommended to the committee. About half of the total of 85 factories build ings and sites were visited vest erday and the inspection will be completed Tuesday.
 Enough stress cannot be put on the fact that the men who made the tour were all business men who left their places of business and gave up valuable time in order to further the movement to s'booSt Bridgeport" ," These men are devoting this time to the cause which ought to be we'll SUD- ported by all interested in Bridge port to make it a popular success.
 Members of the committee say that if some of the smaller concerns could see some of the splendid 1oca- tions and advantages for light manu- featuring, they would undoubtedly soon be occupied. There are also in the city several modern n1anufactur- ing plants, which could be devoted to the larger interests It is the in- tention of the committee to broad cast Bridgeport's advantages in these and other respects at once.
 An important meeting will be con- ducted under the auspices Of the 1n- dl1striaI committee a week from Mon day.
 The Finance committee also held meeting last night and considered routine business.

 am sure that in a week I could secure ten thousand signatures. f..
 The tax rate IS very high, and it Is not certain that it will carry us through. It will be a bad year for collecting taxes. To lay another tax this year would not be popular.
 That $300,O00.00 or more, would be a. big help-especial1y considering the greater number out of work that the City will have to take care of.
 And with living costs reduced. as the government reports show, nearly twenty per cent, 8 ten per cent. cut still leaves a distinct advance instead of a cut from actual wartime salaries, as measured in purchasing power and what is money but purchasing power.
 I wonder if you are receiving your wartime salary from your factory? aud if you are paying wartime wages? ? I known that this cannot De done in the business world; and if business principles are observed in the factories and all lines of trade, why not in the City's business?
