COMMISSIONS THE THEME IN BOTH
SENATE md HOUSE,

dSohmissiOn TO represent Connecticut
at the Tennessee ExpositiOn-HOuse De-
bates the Bill to Appoint Commissioner
of Building and Loan Associations.
Governor Cooke sent to the senate
yesterday morning the name of Charles
H. Noble of New Milford to succeed E.
r. Doyle of Hartford as bank commits
sioner for the term of four years be-
ginning July /, 1897. The nomination
was referred to the committee on exec
utive nominations
The senate recommended its former
action, recommitting the report of the
committee on appropriations concern
ing the endorsement of the towns
for money paid out under the operation
of the good roads law in 1895 and 1885,
and concurred with the house in order
ing the money paid.
The committee on public health re-
ported favorably on substitute bill
regulating the examination of animals
alleged to be afflicted with glanders.
The bill provides that an agent of the
humane society shall call veterinary
surgeon to make the examination and
if this is not satisfactory the owner
may choose another examiner. 1t pro-
vides, also, that the expense of the ex-
animation be borne equally by the
owner Of the animal and the state.
The house bill retiring the state pris-
on officials after twenty years service
on salary of $25 per month was de-
feated Senator Herman opposed the
bill with much force and accomplished
its defeat, although the bill was stout
ly defended by Senator Nation, chair
man of the prison committee.
The bill raising the age of consent
was made the order of the day for next
Wednesday at IL o'clock.
Senator Marigold asked to take from
the table house joint resolution No. 81
authorizing the governor to appoint a
commission to represent the state at
the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.
This resolution was reported adversely
on March IL by the committee on ap-
preparations, the chairman of which,
Senator Converse, giving as q, reason
for such report that it was in the in
terest of economy. 1t was tabled at
the time, on motion of Senator Mari
gold
Senator Vinal had offered an amend
ment to the resolution, providing that
the commission should serve without
compensation or reimbursement for
money expended, which amendment, he
asked, yesterday, to withdraw. The
request was granted and the senator
offered substitute. which provided
that three thousand dollars should be
appropriated for the expenses of the
commission.
Senator Herman asked if in the in
terim the necessity of appointing such
a commission had become more evident
than it was when the appropriation
committees first report was submitted.
He also asked if the manufacturers
generally throughout the state desired
this commission appointed. Senator
Steele replied that he could not speak
for all Of the manufacturers,
but he could say for large
number of them, that they favored this
commission and the appropriation. He
had agreed to Senator Vinal's substi-
tute, providing for commission with
out compensation not because he did
not favor paying a commission but be-
cause he hoped to prevent the whole
matter from falling through, thus caus-
ing the state to be without represen-
tation at this great industrial exposi-
ton.
Senator Converse still maintained the
attitude first assumed by the commit
tee on appropriations, and asked Sena-
ator Vinal, who represented a large
manufacturing district, how many Of
the concerns located in his constituency
exhibited at the Worlds Fair or at the
Atlanta Exposition? If any, what, in
their opinion, was the effect of such
display upon their business, and also
if these concerns intended exhibiting at
Nashville?
The senator made reply that neither
of the two large concerns who were
represented at the Columbian Fair
would make any exhibition of it's
wares at Nashville. the reasons for
which, however. were to be found en-
tirely outside of any result produced by
their former displays at Chicago and
at Atlanta. Nevertheless in the dis

sent" said Senator Vinal there are
manufacturers of novelties and small
wares who are not only willing, but
anxious to make exhibits at Nashville,
and who deem they will be greatly
benefited thereby"
Senator Marigold favored the resolu-
ton, saying that it was the opinion of
his constituents that the state of Con-
necictu could not afford to refuse to
adopt this. Continuing, he said: 81
represent great manufacturing interest.
1t may be good economics, when. as
has been suggested here, the times are
dull and there is no market, to cease
advertising and displaying our wares,
but I have always found that he who
practiced this kind of economics did
not live to advertise and display when
the times were better"
Senators Lewis and Woodruff favor
ed the adoption of the report and the
rejection of the resolution. Both spoke
in support of the stand taken.
Senator Brown said that it was not
the cotton mills of Willimantic or the
large textile manufacturers of the state
that were to be benefited by this com
mission, but the manufacturers of
small wares or novelties. He thought
