Rarely has there been seen pelofe
any legislative committee greater

lee are usually conducted was ioI lai se

Corporation counsel ELY, VINO was the
flrst, to be heard on the SUBJECT ulluer
consideration, said that Whlle II was
not the desire OF any one TO smut OIL an
other from discussing the matter perore
the committee, he and others tnought
that possibly it would be in the interest
OF economy OF time II a limit We're plac-
ed upon the time each speaker should
occupy.
Henry c. Robinson of Hartford sald
that as there was an array OF oratory
from New Haven which he was sure
was anxious to be let loose, he would
suggest that the section of the proposed
charter about which he and his brother
tEly) did not agree should go over I'M
til another day Mr.. Robinson referred
to the section which gives the court OF
common council jurisdiction over the
| building of bridges over railroads. Mr.
Robinson claims, as do many others of
this city, that the railroad commission
| ers have jurisdiction over the building
of bridges over the railroad. The re-
quest was granted and the hearing pro-
ceeded.
| Continuing, Mr. Ely gave a resume
| of the history of the different charter
amendments, and then submitted the
present draft to the committee as the
| result of the efforts of the various COM
mittees, from the original charter com
sion to the work OF the ten members OF
