Bonding Debates Delay Bond Issue Vote in Bridgeport
The Farmer Hartford May 16 reports the Finance committee's Bridgeport bond issue tally delayed due to disagreements among Welton Bridgeport secretary Rogers and Senators McNeil Paddock Bartlett. Rogers opposes submitting bonds to voters while McNeil and Paddock insist voters must decide if the city goes into debt. A conference with the Finance committee was proposed but rejected by McNeil and Paddock, who view Rogers as an executive official not a legislative partner.
