PROPOSED CITY
 MANAGER CONTEST
(Continued from Page D


 martin applied to the finance board Thursday for additional funds needed for the special election on acceptance or revision of the char ter, whereas, under the terms of the bill the town clerk will have nothing whatever to do with the elec- ton. In the past elections locally have always been conducted under the supervision of the town clerk and the registrars of voters. But the charter bill, in Section 256, provides: The Board of Aldermen, city clerk and registrars of voters of the city, in office at the time of the passage of this act, or their legal and quali- fled successors" shall be in charge not only of the special election Oc- tober 3, but also of the regular city election, which has been set back to November IA.
 Will Cause Confusion
 This section of the act alone is certain to cause considerable con- fusion in connection with the elec- ton, and the contention is that this also is in violation of either the state constitution or state laws.
 The charter bills sponsor, the Cit izens Good Government Association has claimed that the arguments against the charter on the grounds of constitutionality are without foundation, and will no doubt up- hold the charter text in any court fight that may develop.
 Judge Candee Warns
 Senator Nehemiah Candee, oi Norwalk, 6 Republican and a town court judge, argued at length Tues day against adoption of the bill on the ground that it was rnconsti- tutional. He claimed that not only were the provisions concerning the town clerk and selectmen in viola tion of the constitution, but also the sections providing for the P. R system of voting. He cited con stitutional provision which he said forbids proportional ballots" of any kind.
 Judge Candee, who was character ized yesterday by the Good Govern ment Association as one of foul "disgruntled" senators who voted against the city manager bill al Hartford, is expected to be invited to Waterbury to speak against the bill on the basis of legality.
 Opponents of the bill, before the Senate debate began Tuesday, said they had been assured by legislative experts that the charter bill was un- constitutional. But the question will be one for the courts to decide.
 Alleged unconstitutionality of the charter has been pointed out already to Governor Baldwin by Senator Cul. hane and others. But the governor like one member of the Senate dur ing the long arguments over thu bill, is expected to say in effect: That's a matter for the courts to decide.

his hands behind him, smiling. pleased
and confident, looking out over the
water towards the mainland. Beyond
the terrace was low stone wall, and
beyond that wall, the sea.
She was later than usual going
down. 1t took her some time to bathe
her red eyes. Pride would not let her
show the servants she had been cry
ing. She went into the library where
they met before dinner. surprised to
find he was not there On the table
the manuscript lay, addressed to a
London company. Cummins came in.

Cummins looked at her oddly. Il
was looking for him just now, my
Lady He's not there"
But saw him. no time ago, from
my window" In the silence that fol-
lowed there rose noise that set her
hair raising slowly in the back of her
neck and along her scalp. The high
dismal terrified note of dog bowling
in ever rising cadences.
They went onto the terrace to-
gether, the old man stumbling along
after her. In the center sat Collins fat
dog, bowling, all alone.
That was all.
There was no way off the terrace,
save through the house. and Cummins
had been in the dining room. That
night the sea was so clear and so still
that the bed of it was visible for miles,
with every boulder and every ane-
none and crab standing out clearly.
His body was never found.
He disappeared as if he had been
rubbed with a piece Of rubber from
the landscape. Or as if he had OWNED.
as that other Mac Tarn is said to have
OWNED, till he blew out like candle
in the courtyard.

Through the portfolio she watched
the Statue of Liberty slip by, holding
the torch of freedom high. She re-
membered with what different feel
ings she had last seen that lovely
sight, and her eyes filled with tears.
All her plans had been spoilt. Here
she was. once again in the full blaze OF
publicity. She saw, when the gang
ways went down, a mob of reporters
hustling on board. She hid in the cloak
room from their pushing attentions.
Then she ran ashore down the third
class gangway, where no one would
think of looking for her.
She stood, lost and frightened,
home again. In her heart there was
terror now. lest nothing would ever
be again as it once had been, and
home, too, would be changed. and
full of alien looks.

hoped he might find the task too

still as a strip of unruff1ed satin, and
clear as mirror. They went up to

out of her room, telling her she was

to plead with him. to try and reach
that softer side which surely he had
somewhere. in common with other
men, if only one knew the approach.

We may be miles off shore and we'd
get lost in five minutes in this Jog in
small boat. What's the matter? Can't
you stand the sight of me?"
Ronnie gulped. Look" he said
desperately. you said the fog might
not lift today. And there isn't any
thing aboard to eat. And if we're out
here another night people will talk.
l can't let that happen to you!
Breeze looked at him steadily for
a moment. You know, Ronnie." she
said seriously, you're not such bad
egg after all Maybe. after while, l
could get to like you"
Ronnie flushed. A warm glow swept
through him and shivery tingle went
up and down his spine. But" Breeze
went on evenly, there's one thing l
want to tell you. If there is one kind
of person whose opinion and regard l
don't give a hoot in hell about
it's person with a mind like that. So
forget all about what somebody like
that might say and get into the

Get warmed up. I'm going on deck
and start ringing the bell again before
somebody runs us down. I've been
doing it since you passed out. You
can relieve me when your clothes
are dry"
Which was what Ronnie did. Only,
while he was sitting in front of the
galley stove in his shorts and shirt,
he was overcome by such profound
drowsiness after all he had been
through that he was compelled to
crawl into berth in the main cabin,
pull blanket over himself and close
his eyes for little snooze.
He was awakened, he says, abruptly.
His first impression was that the
Na1cissus had been rammed by the
Normandie. He was, he claims, on the
cabin floor going through the motions
of swimming before he realized that
the schooner was on an even keel but
the cabin seemed to be full of people.
Dozens of people But this crowd
quickly reduced itself to three. To be
precise: Breeze, a tremendous young
man in leather windbreaker, and
man in uniform. The man in uniform
was grinning Ronnie says that he
has never felt quite the same about
the Coast Guard since that time. But
he did not have much time to think
about the Coast Guard just then.
Because he was sprawled out at the
feet of this tremendous young man,
where he had been dumped from the
berth. and the hands of this human
mountain were clenching and un-
clenching rapidly by his sides.
Breeze was trying to push him back
from Ronnie. Herbert" she cried.

heavily. I'm going to step on him.

Letters to Editor
TRANSPORTATION
TO the Editors:

Since at the present time. transportation is the
main issue among people. it becomes obvious to
discuss it. Why is it major problem? Because
transportation costs the residents Of Greenbe1t
approximately $5s. yearly. using $1.25 per week
as average cost to each person now committing by
income in Greenbelt transportation cost repre-
sents So Of expenditures. After food, clothing
and housing have been taken from income that So
for transportation becomes big item and consti-
tutes a large percentage Of the remainder. If
cost Of transportation is raised it will in many
"eat into the amount needed for food clothing
and housing.
Why is it impractical consider Capital Transit?
Judging from the Annual Report Of that company for
1887, 16s Of their gross income net profit. It
is hard to believe this would enter into any
agreement without maintaining this objective.
Therefore, view Of the fact that they are not in
business for their health, they would like to make
similar profit Greenbelters we'll anyone else.
If could have system operating at cost it would
saving of 80, 900 or year, rather than
additional expense to US all, provided such
system operate economically that of the
Capital Transit. I have made study Of the cost
Of operating ton buses between Greenbelt and Washing
ton and have good to believe the cost would
be proporti onately less, at least more, per
passenger than it is for Capital Transit. If I
wrong. at least have enough evidence prove that
Council should at least make study to disprove
it. Suoh study would at least give concrete
informant on upon which base future plans.
What the bases for my views? Here they ere:
10 buses at cost Of IS. 900 each would accommodate
from 500 to 800 passengers between the rush hours
and could be deprecated years making the
total initial cost per year 1885
