Afternoon Session.

MT. Benedict of Wilton offered an amendment which placed the supervis- ion of the work of building roads under the control of the selectmen.
 MT. Hutchinson's amendment provid- ed that two-thirds of the expense of building the roads should be borne by the state and one-t third by the towns, and that the state treasurer should is sue 31a per cent. bonds due in twenty years. The amendment also struck out the provision made for limiting the towns to the expenditure of S3.OOO per annuln.
 MT. Roraback of North Canaan op- posed the amendment
 MT Frisbie of Pennington opposed the issuing of bonds, and moved to di- vide the amendment of the gentleman from Essex, as it contained several propositions. He wanted to test the sentiment of the house in order to find out whether the members were willing to bond the state.
 MT. Kennedy of Stamford opposed the amendment. It was indefinitely post poned.
 MT. Tucker of Ansonia offered an amendment striking out all after the enacting clause. He addressed the house and took occasion to say some very uncomplimentary things about the commission.
 MT. Hall of Waterbury said in reply to MT Tucker that 1t seemed to him that the gentleman had left it to a very late day to attack the competency of the present commission. Why did he not come before the committee when the gentlemen could answer him?
 MT. Tucker answered that he had tried to get hearing before the com mittee four times. He had been busy with his own committee and had finish ed up all the business it had before them.
 MT. Carroll of Waterbury said that notwithstanding that he favored good roads he should vote against this ema- ciated bill. He also took exception to MT Fuckers arraignment of the com mission.
 MT. WOrtman also resented the at tack made by MT. Tucker.
 The amendment proposing that two thirds of the expense instead of one half should be paid by the state was passed by a vote of 9S to 75.
 MT. Roraback offered an amendment making the sum to be expended for of fee purposes s1, 800 instead of $l,00O. This was adopted.

MT. Neary of Naugatuck wished to know if the bill provided, in its present form, for the supervision of the road making by the selectmen.
 MT. Hutchinson explained that he could not conscientiously vote for the bill as amended.
 MT Andrews of East Haven resented the insinuations that the small towns needed the assistance of the larger towns. East Haven roads were as good as any in the state and she built them herself.
 MT. Wadsworth offered an amend ment making the sum appropriated S150,0OO instead of S100,0OO. This was voted down and the amendment appro- priating $75,000 offered by MT. Rora- back was adopted.

The bill appropi- ates $75,000 to be used in road building annually and that two-thirds of the eX- pense of such road building shall be borne by the state and one-third by the town In which the road is made. The selectmen are to have supervision of the building of the roads, which must be approved by the highway commissioner.

The excellent cooling arrangements in use at Polrs Wonderland theater are proving quite as effective as the attrac- tive show in drawing good sized audi ences to the theater this week. So well has Manager Poli provided for the comfort of his patrons that he has made his theater a much cooler and more cosy place than any other spot in town during the warm weather. It is not improbable, either that as a result of the successful arrangements the the ater will be kept open during the sum- mer.

Wright The piece is funny, is well constructed and calculated to please generally. George H. Broadhurst is the author and he has taken three acts to tell a very simple story, but he has interwoven some in- teresting counter plots. The story in brief is as follows: Seymour Sites, wealthy 'Friscan, has been robbed of $50,O00 through a forgery, by his cash fer, and he has placed the case in the hands of detectives, but, hearing that the cashier is expected at Old Point Comfort, he chases off to the summer resort in order to make the capture himself and save the $5,00O reward Ar irving at the hotel, he finds his niece and nephew, but he registers as Mir Wright and cautions them not to be- tray him Then the fun commences He is barely settled when a dashing new woman arlives-a detective work ing on the case-but masquerading as a

Judge Shumway of the superior court sustained the demurrer, but the SUI preme court, in an opinion by CmeI Justice Andrews last February, tound an error and reversed the judgment Of the lower court.
