HE lHdt the temporary HOIlleS are no
 able to take care of the children. Il
 New Haven county to-day ninety-si, children are boarded out al privat
 houses. In one county the children ar
 all boarded out at private institution
 It is no new thing, therefore, to board
 these children in homes not responsible
 to the state. The bill provides tha judges must make commitments il
 open court. 1t changes the law regard
 ing the length of time that the chile l must remain in the custody of tht l county.
 The senator declared that in severa
 counties the homes are inadequate tC
 receive and care for all the children
 and gave an instance that happened 1T
 New Haven county. A well known
 New Haven man, the uncle of two ] children who had been boarded out
 with some private family, went tD the
 county commissioners and could not
 learn where the children were although | he was anxious to take care of them and bring them up in his own family. The bill provides that when county homes are crowded the children may be sent to any chartered orphan asy- lum. Senator Kenealy spoke of the measure as being in the interest of morality and the good of the state.
 The bill was then passed unanimous ly.
 The bill to create the offices of state fire marshal and deputy fire marshal was passed without the amendment passed by the house distributing the ex- tho five inc nies. Senator Gordon opposed the amendment. He thought it was con- trary to public policy to ask the insur- ance companies to pay the expenses or the office. He spoke of the revenues the state already derives from the in surance companies. He said the office is for the benefit of the people, not the insurance companies The senate re- jected the amendment and passed the original bill.

 The bill regarding hearings in dam ages, providing that the plaintiff or de- fendant may have trial by jury, came from the house, where it had been re- jected.
