I shall move to set up in place of the single headed tax com-,
missioner a committee of competent assessors, disinterested citi
zens subservient to no political machine party or interest, so that
every tax payer In the City of Bridgeport will have the assurance
right at the start that his taxes are assessed on a just and equitable
basis, with no politics or other motives entering into the judgment
of the assessors.
The boast has been made by administration partisans, that
it will punish its friends and re ward its enemies until 1925, no
AFRAID BRITAIN WILL RULE.
AIR SERVICE
WILL BE BIG
UNDERTAKING
London Oct. 20 The proposed
Liverpool-Australia and Liverpoo?"
New York air service will be an
enormous undertaking. The problem
of supplying the necessary dirigible
airships is but one of the items to be
considered. They cost about $3,750.
000 each to construct. At least six
of these huge craft will be necessary
to maintain these two services with
any degree of regularity.
There are also to be considered the
problems of suitable landing grounds
and mooring posts, the intention of
the Great Northern Aerial Snydicate
being that aerodromes will be pro
vided at the more important stations
while mooring posts will serve as
second class stops or halts.
Aerodromes for dirigibles are re
quired only at every 2,000 miles and
it is now possible for an airship to be
moored to or released from a moor
ing tower in any wind up to 60 miies
an hour; yet the total financial back
ing considered necessary for such an
undertaking is in the neighborhood
of $10,000,000.
