night to consider the advisability of con-

Ihoru Linc lmprovemcnta.
lfauy improvements are soon to be
made on the Shore Line road. Au im-
portant feature. will be the building of a
81004110 iron bridge at Lyme. This will
be finished early in 1889. The increas-
ing travel will necessitate a second track
before very long. When granite was
needed for filling and building works,
blasting began to a ledge where the sec-
ond track wouldbc laid. The road is
now double tracked as far east as the
bridge over Quinnipiac river in Fair Ha~
ven. Fast time will he made when the
$500900 bridge over the Thames is
com etcd. The railroad ferry in present
use Impede: trftvel greatly. Sometimes,
in the case of a heavy express train, it is
twenty minutes after' the train arrives
from the west before it is loaded on the
boat to be transferred to the Crotch
side. The time between New Haven
and New London will undoubtedly be
quickened.
REMARKS BY JOHN STEVENSON.
Why he Thinks the Judge of the City
Court Should not be a Lawyer.
John Stevenson .of Bridgeport has a
way of keeping the community stirred
up about something most of the time.
There has been an Interval of silence but
now he appears with this letter In one of
the local papers: “You said In an editor-
ial some time since in reference to the
legal squabble over the judgeship of our
city court, that the public have some
rights. I dont know of any law that
compels our citizens or the legislature of
our state to appoint a lawyer as judge of
the city court. it looks rather strange
that for the last four yean that so many
of our unfortunate poor fellow citizens
should have been hauled up before the
city court, fined and sent to jail, and not
one lawyer. when so many in propor-
fioufo their number get drunk with no
arrest. no fine, no imprisonment. Why
not now apply to the legislature at its
next session and request our representa-
tives to odicer‘ our city court with laymen
andtbenthecourt could use its judg-
ment and prosecute lawyers as well as
professional bad characters for getting
drunk. It ought to he done to sustain
and perpetuate moral character."
