Mat New Haver Register Notwithstanding the many and continued adverse criticisms that have been made by the people and newspapers about the matter William Atwater lias not yet seen fit to stop acting ns bondsman for the sewer contractors who use liis materials Mr Atwater is a member of the board of public works and on account of his office it lias been very strongly urged that he should neither supply material for the contractors over whose work he has supervision nor act as bondsman for such contractors So strong was the objection to Air course that Corporation Counsel Driscoll was asked by the Court of Common Council to give an opinion as to Mr Atwater's legal right in the matter and the attorney while finding no direct violation of the law replied lint it was "a question of propriety" Mr Atwater iiowever sees no impropriety lie heeds none at any rate The repeated protests that a city official should not have a financial interest directly or indiroctly in the contract work that is intrusted to his care by the city are not regarded On Saturday of last week Air Atwater signed a bond for Anthony Carroll guaranteeing the proper construction of the Illatchley avenue sewer winch is to cost the city The bond signed by Mr Atwater was for The other bondsman for Mr Carroll iu tiie same amount is James A Davis of the brick manufacturing firm of William Davis Co liut the audacity of Air Atwater lias apparently received a set-back from an unexpected source for the board of pubile works contract committee has in accepted the bond The committee is composed of Commissioners Brown States and Todd Air Brown has refused to Bign the document by which form tho Bond would be accepted and Air States lias said that he will not sign it unless Air Brown does Mr Todd has not possitively said that he will not sign tiie paper but so far his signature is withheld It is evident therefore that Afr colleagues of the hoard of public works majority have ab sorbed some souse of tiie pointed out by Corporation Counsel Driscoll and unless Air Atwater has the power to control Commissioners States and Todd sufficiently to get his bond accepted Anttiony Carroll will huve to get another bondsman DOCTOR'S EXPENSIVE RACKET He Hud Night Out That Will Cost Iltm 450 Bridgeport Farmer) Dr Al Davis had an expensive night out last evening Ho started out to have a season of diversion and in pursuance of this object strolled around to hotel which is run in connection with tho Star garden on Bank street He had a little seance in the wine room with several convivial spirits including one or two of the female variety performers lie loft the place shortly after 12 nnd found thnt his fun had cost him $450 represented by a $150 gold watch and chain and $300 in money At least this is the story which lie told Sergeant Birmingham at police headquarters about 2:15 this morning Dr Davis has no definite idea of how he lost his property Of course according to his own theory he was drugged All people who meet with such experiences invariably are That is they are always willing to swear that they were in spite of tho fact that hard headed police olllciala will persist in believing that the drugs usually employed are the ordinary beverages found in saloons and self-administered After hearing the story Sergeant Birmingham went out and brought iu Jacob Sohlosser one of the waiters employed at the place He was held on suspicion but this morning was discharged as it did not appear that he knew any tiling about how the festive physician came to be robbed Dr Davis is an eve and ear specialist with an office at No 159 Fairfield avenue At one time he was a partner of tiie noted Alerrow but left that individual of unsavory record and branched out for himself several months before

best previous record made in Boston last week by 3-j seconds TOWN REPRESENTATION Additional Reasons Showing Why It Not the Same as State Harry McMahon writes to the Springfield Republican as follows: I have read with interest the controversy between the Hartford Courant and The Republican as to the analogy of town-representation in the lower house of tho Connecticut Legislature and state representation in tiie United States Senate Excuse me for saying that pith of the does not seem to me to have been really got al although yon have stated the problem as it should die stated The Republicai has justly said that the conditions state and town representation are no the same but the essential difference of conditions has not yet been given us This difference may be put thus: The American Union is made up constitutionally speaking of federate states Connecticut however or any other member of the Union is not made up of federate towns but of a unified mass of people the town being only an integral part of the general government Fed eration is a matter of concession and contract as a recent writer on politics lids said The states independent political organisms yielded up a part of their sovereignty to the American government The recognition of equal representation in the United States Senate shows that the states looked on each other as coordinate bodies each free to regulate its own affairs Now the towns it is true in the very earliest days of New England settlement regarded each other similarly as independent and coordinate political units But that feeling corresponding to a state of affairs long gone out of mind has passed entirely away was gone even before the Revolution and would not be remembered to-day but for the anarchronism of equal representation of towns which was its outcome The towns of New England are still self-governed but have no separate political individuality and are simply a part of the general machinery of administration in which we five Of the states as muo cannot yet be said Although fast und ergoiug the process of centralization they ligve not vet been absorbed in the nation and have as yet a self-conscious ness a feeling of individuality and very often separate political interests The old lines of town government no longer mean anything in the organization of a state The fines of state government are still vital and cannot safely be ignored in a national administration The townspeople make their own roads and hire their own teachers but townspeople are not interested in changing the state divorce laws or methods of taxation to suit their own purposes But the citizens of a state are interested not only in the regulation of state affairs but in the manner in which the nation levies a tariff or fortifies coasts or improves harbors according as such measures favor the state or not The reasons for such differences of feeling with corresponding differences of representation are these: The towns have become so coalesced and unified that their interests are practically cal at least no towns will take it upon themselves to exploit or oppress others The states on the contrary have widely varying interests through climate distance natural advantages etc The national Senate is a check or the more powerful states who should try to bend the government to their own aggrandizement and others oppression No such danger exists between the towns of Connecticut Town representation has net a reason for its existence while Btate representation is necessary as long as the government is federative YOUR SHIP The newspaper supplies the broad swift channel of publicity which enters the port of prosperity and when you float your boats upon it you are sure of quick returns Advertising in dull times is an anchor cast to windward Herman Schulties one of the new United States Immigration commission era appointed to investigate tiie evils practiced at European ports was born April 9 1856 at Port Washington Wisconsin lie removed with his parents to Washington and graduated from St college in that city For some years he was a clerk in the General Land office Department of lie Interior ami from there he was transferred to the Treasury department where Secretary Foster him lie is a good iinguist and why he should waste iiis time in a government office at such poor pay is a question often asked of him and others similarly situuted WHAT BULKELEY SAID Conversation la a Cafe With Senator Keail of Bridgeport New Haven Union Acting Govornor Bulkeley President Read of tiie Senate and John Plum iner of New York formed a pleasant trio at cafe on Tuesday even ing The governor talked politics with Senator Read and appeared anxious to know what the Democrats intended doing about the appropriations as July was near at hand Tiie genial senator informed him they proposed doing nothing Governor Bulkoloy then said he had read in tiie newspapers that tiie Fair Held county senators Pad been selecting county commissioners for Fairfield county Senator Read said they had selected two good men Messers Mead of Norwalk and Beecher of Newtown Bulkeley (with a wink of his eye) asked Senator Read you asked Judge Morris to appoint Tho Senator replied that he had not and the governor very generously and good naturedly said me their names appoint The query now is whether Senator Read lias sent the names to Governor Bulkeley for appointment and whether Hon Morgan Bulkeley took this means to induce Hon David Read to tecognioo Him as governor STARTLING INFORMATION Young There la an Organized Gang of Burglar In Now Britain New Britain Herald Rudolph Guenther tiie young fellow who was recommitted to the Reform school yesterday for stealing
