Motion by MT. Carter that the governors veto de abolishment of Hartford and Connec- ticut Valley railroad taxes be sent by the clerk to the Secretary of States office was defeated, after which the message and reso- | tion were transmitted to the Senate MT. Garter raised the constitutional ques. tion whether, when veto is sustained in the house in which the bill vetoed originated, the veto message and bill must be transferred to
 other branch of the Legislature.
 The chair stated that precedents were wholly in favor of transmitting message and
 bill. But as the direct question of constitu- | tionality was raised, the Speaker said he l would put it to the House for decision. On
 vote the result was adverse to MT. Carters position.
 MT. Simonds called from the table the Railroad committees report on accepting the | annual statement of the railroad coHnmis-
 sioners without debate accepted and ordered | on file in the Secretary of State'G office. l Subsequently reconsidered and on motion of | Mir. Simonds the report was tabled in order
 to afford Mir. Perry, of Hartford, opportuni- | ty for it's discussion.
 l Business on the calendar was disposed of ! as follows:
 l After discussion by Messrs Pease of En- ! field, and Troup, of New Haven, the follow l ing bill, relating to tax iens was adopted: | The fees of town clerks for recording a | tax lien shall be 25 cents, in addition to ! which sum there shall be allowed in favor of
 the municipality filing such lien the sum of | 50 cents, making total of 75 cents, which ! shall be collected in addition to the tax so | secured; but this act shall not affect any \ municipality for which special provision has
 been made by statute.
 The act exempting sailing vessels from tax 1 ation was favored by Messrs. Troup and Law | of New Haven, but opposed by Mr. Bradley of Orange.

 The House after debate by Messrs. Bell of Norwalk, Kirkland of Old Saybrook and Brad ley of Orange concurred with tho Senate in rejecting amendment to the bill providing for the numbering and licensing of vessels en- gagged in the oyster business that the provis- ions of the act shall not apply to boats or ves- sels less than twenty five feet in length. An amendment was adopted making the license fee fifty cents for each vessel, in stead of $1 as provided for in the original act. The main features of the act were discussed by Messrs. Lockwood of Bridgeport, who was in favor of it's adoption, and Bell of Norwalk, who opposed it on the ground that 1t was an excessive burden on the small oyster planters and dealers.
