The building will be 56 x 60 ft., and will take the place of some one story shacks which have stood there for several years. How ard S. Challenger, who owns the prop erty just east of the Hick's property, with less frontage is planning to build a three story building of similar de sign, with tvo fiats above and a large store for himself on the ground floor. below 1 w water for the reception of sewage. This suggestion from the War d partment is regarded as a foreruni ter ordering the city to dig similar basins at the mouth of all its sewers to take care of the sewerage I and tha.t the time is not far distant I when the city will have to make a yearly appropriation for the dredging I of seweir basins at the mouth of the sewers. I While the idea of the city digging the big thole in the bottom of the river comes as a suggestion from the War Department it is really mandatory for in the Isame breath the department makes nt understood that it will not allow sewage to empty into the chan nel.

John Al Barri, proprietor of the mills, claimed', damages because the city was allowing the Llndley street sewer to fill up Ithe berth he had dredged in front of his wharf for the purpose of tying up coal boats. The city agreed to pay damages and to better condi tions by extending the sewer to deep water. It was planning to lay the ex tension when the letter came from the War department. At the meeting of the sewer committee last night it was decided to hold another meeting on Friday night for the purpose of con sidering Major Taylor's suggestion. The committee decided further to hold pub'ic hearings on Monday even ing, April 19, upon the laying of sew ers in the following streets: Savoy street, from Main to Wayne street; extension of the present sewer in Madison avenue, from Federal street to Garfield avenue; North avenue 150 ft. west of Lexington avenue; Cherry street from Bostwick avenue to Han cock avenue; Hanover Btreet, between Norman street and Wordin avenue; Eaten street, between Norman street and Park avenue and on the purchase tit the' private sewer in Cliff street, near the Wheeler public school.

March 3L Senator Hlzer of Bridgeport yesterday said that he would not appear before the Judiciary committee to favor the three bills he introduced which have been regarded here as prohibiting any corporation from doing business not spec.fically permitted by its charter. Mr. Holzer repeated that he intro duced the bills at the request of an attorney acting for the United States Illuminating Company of New Haven and Bridgeport and said that h? un derstood their purpose was to prevent any private corporation from selling light and power to any other corpora tion or individual. "I shall not appear in the favor of these bills." said the senator yester day. "1 have no further Interest ;n them. As I have said, I introducsd them at the request of a Bridgeport at torney.

WANTED fiOliD TAILOR'S LABEL Ashamed to Own Up to Wearing Ready Made i Clothing Funny Isn't It? SO HE OFFERED TO BUY TAILOR'S NAME Then He Could "Chuck the Bluff" He Wore a Tailor Made Suit. There came to the notice of the writer recently an instance that was as amusing- as it was convincing, that a man with a ready-made suit of clothes is. ashamed to acknowledge his clothing ie not the work of a custom tailor. A fellow clad in ready-mades stepped into one of Bridgeport's best tailoring places and wanted to buy the tailor's label so that he could place it in his ready-made suit and "cut the bluff" he had tailor-ma-fle clothes. Can you beat this? And is there any doubt in your mind' but what every wearer of a ready-made suit feels more or less a.'hamed when he lacks the in dividuality at having his clothes made for himself alone, to his own measure and to harmonize with his personal characteristics and by his own tailor who knows his requirements and how to fit him? No man can feel right in a suit made for anyone who happens to pick it up on the 'bargain counter or elsewhere, and that's why -this man referred to went tb a good tailor and confidentially tried to buv a label from him to sew Into the clothes of which he was ashamed. Is this sort of apo logetic feeling about one's apparel worth the very few dollars saved in buying ready-made clothes? No a thousand times no and if you are wise you'll never exnerience it. There's satisfaction, all kinds of it, in being able to say, "Wheale made my suit." Then you know and your friends know your clothes are riirht rie-ht in stv'.e and fit, right every way. Then be a:ble to say just this thing about your Bister suit. Go to Wheale. 1042 M-ain street, and you'll get the most satis faction you've ever known since you bought your first long trousers. Wheate is the creative tailor he orig inates! styles especially adapted for your onr, and- his clothes are al ways lie height of fashion. Step in and lQt and ask questions, at least.
