pointed to draft such charges as seemed ad
visable and report at the next meeting of tn
committee which will probably be held il
November. This commistee consists O
Messrs. Lyman of Willimantic, Bassett o
New Britain and Strong of Bridgeport.
The general feeling at yesterdays meeting
seemed to be that all the existing laws con
oerning paupers should be wiped out and il
their place laws passed that all selectmel
can understand easily. Some of the gentle
men were of the opinion that there SHOULD
be no fixed laws governing paupers, but tina
the subject should be left largely to the dis
erection of the selectmen. Others though
laws should be greatly simpli6ed.
The next meeting of the association viii
be held at Willimantic sometime in January
when the committee hopes to have its recon-
mendations in shape. 1t is hoped that tn,
changes which are desirable In the existing
laws may be in form and that they may SO
cure sufficient backing to become laws at tn,
next session of the Legislature.
Mr.. Bliss, of Hartford, met the eommitte
