Almost predicting loss of human life
in a speech upon the danger threat
ening tbi city from lack of fire laws
and one-man dominion curtailed by
politics. A, H. BuUard, former presi
dent of. the Ore commission, addressed
the newly formed branch of the Na
tional , Credjt Men's Association; at the
Algonquin club last night, concluding
his remarks but a few hours before
three were burned to death and
score more brought to safety only by
the efforts of the police. :
Mr, Bullard said Bridgeport's escape
from larger fire loss was' marvelous.
He said there were no laws governing
buildings and that the fire chief was
in sole authority. It was intimated
that his efforts towards having rub
Men cleaned up and other improve
ments made were curtailed : by po
litics,! influence, - ' - ,
said that milUons annually wui

mission er .- Chaules - J.j. Bennett jhe, -de
clared that he endorsed the senti
ments of the governor regarding, road
expenditures mast L heartily. .-He .fur
ther agreed that the practice of issu.-
ing long-time- highway bonda on tem
porary work is one of the worst .prac-!
tices that the state has. Indulged in,
and said - he , believed . the time has
passed when this- is , necessary. Re
ferring to the figures given on the ex
penditures of the department" tor tae I err tro-
(past three years, he declared - that It ZJ J 7 '"
was not the a.uit ' of the -present ad
ministration -that they had risen- so. -
'When'' I came Into office on Fetoru-'
ary 26, 1913,' he s said, '1 - found that
there were liabilities outstanding
amounting to - (1,716,638, ; all of which
.was not -the-fault of the present 'ad-
done but 'hot completed- or paid, for;
This I stated in my -report
ernor of last November.- ' When you
add to this am the (800,090 n.
spent for ordinary and necessary re
pair work, it can be eeen that the de
partment had- the spending of - learn
than 51,000,000 of that J?, 473, 000 -for
mew work during the summer of 1913.
And practically all' o? the -work of con
etructing new " roads is done In the
summer.'- By the end 1 of ' "1913 ; I Itad
reduced the Iraibilitie of-the State to'
$1,100,000, Which is a decrease of about
(600,000 ifrom the year before.: About
(600,000 of the (3,483,000 that was
charged up for 1913 was for Warrenite
contracts from the. year before that
had not been paid. It seemed to be a
practice to let contracts elide over
, from year td year in order to keep the
expenditures seemingly . lower ' than
they really were.
"The opinion or the governor, as
' expressed in his message, is thorough
ly sound, and I have dfecuesed the
question of cutting down on highway
expenses often with him. JNext year
the attains of the department will bo
'cleared up, or almost so, and the fig
ures will drop back to a - reasonable
proportion.' , -
