 Attorney Gross said he did not believe that Judge Munger in his remarks wish ed to reflect on the judiciary of the state

 NEW HAVEN COUNTY MEETING
 In the absence of Senator Johnson of New Haven, who had to attend to an- other committee meeting, Representa- tive Tucker of Ansonia presided at the adjourned meeting of the New Haven county representatives this afternoon. Representative Cowell of Waterbury said the committee on the Waterbury court house had conferred, but in the absence of Representative Gum of Mill ford, a member of the committee, he moved that the matter go over to next Wednesday at 1:15, and 1t was so or dered.
 The jail matter then came up. Coun- ty Treasurer Hiram Jacobs reported concerning the finances. He said: ''It is true sometimes that our county is a dividend-paying institution. The only extraordinary expenses of the county for twenty years have been for the Housatonic river bridges. These extra ordinary expenses amounted to $2100O0. During the latter part of that term there has been revenue from licenses, so that the net expenses above reve- nues have been about $10,O0O a year. If it is not desired to declare a tax suf- ficient to pay expenses of the jail addi- tion I would issue twenty-year per cent. bonds. Then a tax of one-tenth of 8 mill this year and one-tenth next year would raise $1000O each year. To continue this tax would retire the bonds as they become due. To make an ap- propriation and depend upon the cur rent revenues of the county. would not answer in my opinion. The income of the county depends upon contingencies that can hardly be depended upon from year to year. A two mill tax would raise about $2OO,0O0.
 What do you think of raising $SO,OOO bonds for a court house in Water bury?"
 MT Newton of Wallingford said there was no disposition to issue over $40,0O0
 MT. Jacobs said that Waterbury should have court house at the hands of New Haven county. There were four counties in the state of lesser import ance than the Waterbury judicial dis trict. The proposition of Waterbury to pay one-half of the court house ex- penses was very fair one. The towns of the district in Litehfield county should pay their share. New Haven should not pay the expenses of the richest towns in Litchfield county.
 Architect Allen explained the plans of the county commissioners. It pro vides for taking out the work shop and placing new cells in that area. A new work shop and chapel would be built. The cost would be less than $9O, 900.
 The plans of the committee were ex- plained by Architect Brown. This calls for a jail extension on the rear. The ier taI ,t It provides for 200 new cells, and the other plan, 15O cells.
 The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday, April 10. The committee was requested at that time to report some plan, with specifications. They will confer with the county commission CTS with view of an agreement.
