OTHER MATTERS.

Commissioners have been appointed by
the states of New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvanis, Massachusetts,. Delaware, Geor-
gis, Mississippi and Michigan for the pur-
pose of promoting uniformity of legisla-
tion throughout the United States. It
would be great convenience to the people
If tho laws relative to the execution of
deeds, Wills and other oonveysnces; laws
relative to descent. distribution, domicile,
marriage and divorce, probate of wills,
insolvency and some others could be uni
form in all the states. wonld recommend
that three commissioners be appointed by
Connecticut to Join with the commission
ers appointed by the other states for the
purpose Of accomplishing this very desira-
bic object.
call your attention to the fact that no
legislation has been had relative to the
worlds fair at Chicago. The people of this
state are largely interested in the fair, and
the importance to them of making q sue
cessful exhibit of their goods, wares, etc.,
IN very great There should be an sppro-
priation made to defray the expense Of the
Connecticut exhibit. Whatever has been
done thus far has been done by volun-
tary association, through want of legisla-
ton, and trusting that when the legisla-
ture should meet their action would be in
dorsed.

GRADE CROSSINGS.

I call your attention to the necessity for
further legislation in regard to grade CROSS
ings of railroads with highways. The
number of deaths at these crossings has
become alarming. It is an increasing
danger, for the reason that the demands of
business require more frequent trains and
greater speed. The danger has arisen
entirely from the construction Of the rail-
roads, and the expense of removing the
grade crossings should be borne entirely
by the railroad corporations; at least to the
extent of all highways that were in exist
enoe at the time the railroads were built.
As to the highways laid out after the rail
roads were built, che expense of removing
the grade crossings might be apportioned
between the railroads and towns by the
railroad commissioners. In any event the
danger to human life at these grade cross
ings should be removed, and there should
be some legislation to bring about such a
result more rapidly.
