«I - The World's Work for August says
‘ among other things concerning the
, Philippine tariff, that “the Connecti-
cut Senators succeeded in limiting the
importof cigars to 370000.000 and the
amount of filler tobacco to 1.000z000
pounds." it. would be more cor-
rect to say that the Connecticut
Senators tried to do that. indeed. if
they could have. had their way, they
wouldn‘t have let in any free Philip
pine tobacco or cigars at all. But.
5 they fawniilgly crawled over Aldrich,
like the iiiiputians over Gulliver, and
him more than one hundred times in
the course of the tariff debate, the
flhode island tariff magnate either
" minimum or would not reciprocate so
for as the Philippine tariff is concern-
NA The best he could finally do for
fllhe Connecticut couple on this ones
tion. was to limit the free entry illlo
(his country from the Philippines, an-
sally, to 300,000 tons of sugar, 300.-
000 pounds of wrapper tobacco. 1.000.~
000‘ pounds of filler tobacco, and
$150,000,000 cigars. As these amounts
.tar beyond anything likely to be
amused for several years. the law
stands, for the time being and
perhaps many years to come, is
p’nflically the same as unlimited free
y- for Philippine sugar and tobac-
'co. so that what seems to have been
the" main concern of the Connecticut
torial statesmanship for some
. '7 past has ended in practical fail-
. after all. This happy result was

the early hours of the contest. but at
the end of the nine hours racing the
leading car, the ilaiuicr, with 4151
miles to its credit, was :4 miles lli‘lilliii

to take trips to the. camps for repairs.
The Rainier and Renault racers were
more lucky than the others and they
raced each other nip and luck ‘i'or
five hours amid the cheers of specta-
tors. until they got on level terms
shortly ofter ti o‘clock. Two hours lat-
er they still were tied for first place.
One. of the early morning accidents
was the turning over of the liozier car.
under which Driver ilciua was buried.
but he was not even scratched. He
had a rest of nearly two hours before
the car was put into commission again.
Between- I and .5 o'clock a spec'ul

strong bid for first honors.
During the ninth hour, the Rainier
broke a cylinder and lost over 30
miles while undergoing repairs. This
mishap helped the Renault to increase
its lead and the Acme No. i to be a
more dangerous contestant for second
place.

The record for the tenth hour is
508 miles.
The cause of the second accident
to the Dozier car was the bursting at
a tire. The car turned over twice and
although wrecked, neither of the occu-

camp it was thought that the car could
not be repaired today. Eleventh hour

follows: ’
South Norwulk, Conn.
August 113, laud.
lion. Francis 1. llurnell, Mayor of the.
(lily of South Norwalk,
My Dear Sir: According to a pro-
vision of the law providing for s lioard
of rlslilliiitt' and Taxation in the city
of South Nutwulk till-t terms of three
members of the bour.d including my.
own will expire on the first Monday
of October. and i believe it will be
your duty to fill the vacancies during
the month of September. Therefore.
1 write to say that i am not a caudl~
date for reappointment. i do not know
that you would reappoint me, anyway.
However. i would not again accept the
office if appointed. The work of the
board thus far has been a disappoint-
ment to me. and i feel that it has ilot
met the expectations of tile public.
The object. purpose ulld spirit of
the law creating the board was to
enable the taxpayers to protect Ilit‘ill‘
selves from special interests of every
kind, and to obtain the highest ser-
vice and benefit. with as little expendi-
ture as possible, Any failure to rec,
ogliize this is bound to work injury
to the taxpayers. To appropriate
money for unwarranted expenses
amounts to legal robbery. The coliti-
cil anti the botird should work hand in
hand for the best interest of the
whole community. it til the duty of
the council to provide cflicicnt and
competent employee to do the Work of
the different departments of the city.
so as to give the taxpayer the greatest
returns for the money appropriated
and when the council neglects to do
this, I believe it becomes the duty
of this board to refuse to make an
appropriation for such department, be
yond what may be necessary for or-
dinary repairs. in this way the board
may saw motley for the taxpayers.
and assure the people the best city
gov ei nnlent.
Tile present board has made little
improvement on the aid policy of city
meetings, and has been passive to
conditions which should be meted out.
i suppose that it cannot be ewectcd
that the law will work perfectly. The
best possible cliartei will not give the
people perfect city govtarnment. There
is needed competent, independent of-
ficials to look after the. general wei-
farc, and i trust that your honor will
appoint such. 1 should like to suggest
some things which will disqualify any
man for an appointment on the Board
of Estimate and Taxation:
(1). When his business interests
may be affected by his public duties.
(2). When his desire for public
honors and appointments may influ-
ence his official action.
(3). When his partisanship
stronger than his patriotism.
(I). When he lacks independent
Judgment and takes his orders from
some. boss or clique. ‘
(5). When he is at all lacking in
public spirit and civic pride.
1 would not. have your honor infer
that i am imputing intentional error
to any of the members of the present
board, but i do feel that a majority of
them have surrendered to old influ-
ences and conditions. and for that rea—
son have failed to give proper expres-
sion to the purpose and spirit of the
law which created the board.
Yours very truly,
MORTIMER M. LEE.

had her left wrist sprained and llt'l‘

Among the passengers on the car
were Mrs. David w. Lynch of 0-16
Laurel avenue, Bridgeport, her mother
from New Haven, who is visiting her,
mid Mrs. Mary J. Dargun of 86 Wash-
ington terrace, Bridgeport.
Mrs. Lynch tells of the trouble in
this way: "Tile car was running
along at. the. usual speed when and-
dnciy therewas a. horrible rumbling
noise on the top of the car and the
car slowed down truth it came to a
stop. Before we (0pm loniprellenll

the child was burned.
"The crew of the trolley car took
the chemicals and pllt out the fire.
first brushing the broken wire off the
car with a long pole and wearing ruli-
bcr gloves. Finally after a long
wait a car arrived from Bridgeport
and one from Westport. The passen-
gem were transferred and we rt»
turned to Bridgeport, arriving in the
city about ti.o‘clock.' Mrs. Dargan
who was with me sprained her left
wrist and tore her dress. We were
on our way to Conipo beach for the
ride, but after this trying experience
we were glad to give up our trip and
return home.
“The woman accompanied by her
friends took her child to a nearby
house blit beyond that i do not know
what became of her. She was a
stranger to me but Was evidently
bound for Westport as she did not re.
turn on the car with us.
Mrs. Dargnli tells substantially the
same story only she says she under-
stood it was the conductor who yell~
ed for the passengers to jump. She
has no recollection of how she got
off the car. When Mrs. Lynch and
Mrs. Dargan left the car was still
there. A Wiecker from the west had
arrived and they passed one from
Bridgport on the way back to this
city. From the time as near as the
two women can estimate it the acci-
dent happened soon after 4. o'clock.
One of the Connecticub Co. inspec-
tors told a reporter that all he knew
about it. was the report of the fore
man of the Westport barns. He had
said that a trolley wire had broken
near what is known-as the “Black-
amltb's switch" causing only a little
troiible, no one being Injured and tra-
iiic not being stopped.
