Haven Representative to Provide
Relief from the Present system-yvesi
Shore Railway Bill TO be Recalled
Other Matters In House and Senate.
A special committee of conference
was appointed in the House yesterday
morning to meet a similar committee
from the Senate on the disagreeing ac-
Connecticut Western matter, the House
supporting the Connecticut Western
and the Senate the Consolidated road.
This action was anticipated yester-
day, but the later action of the Senate
in refusing to confer knocks the matter
out once for all. Mr. Freeman in the
House moved that committee of con-
| ference be appointed and there was no
objection from the minority, Messrs.
Lilley of Waterbury, and Freeman of
Hartford We're appointed, and the res
olution transmitted to the Senate.
When the matter came up in the SEN
| ate Senator Burton moved that the
| Senate adhere to it's former action and
| Senator Gordon of the opposition sec
| onded the motion. 1t was voted that
| the Connecticut Western petition is
| thing of the past. The Senate refusing
| to join in committee of the conference
| leaves the Connecticut Western unable
| to carry the matter any further.
T1,a OIL
| unfavorably on the bill providing for
probation officers to take charge of
| minor criminals The bill was tabled,
MIR. Williams of Glastonbury stating
there was enough merit in the bill to
possibly save it, and that he desired
later to offer an amendment
The bill authorizing Waterbury to
build and maintain under ground con-
Quits for electric wires, ETC., was re-
ported unfaVorably
The resolution extending the time for
the building of the Hartford and Mid
dletown trolley road was reported fav-
orably.
The bill permitting small towns to
unite and choose a superintendent of
schools who shall give his entire time
to his work, the state to assist in the
payment of his salary, caused some
discussion. Mr.. Pearne objected to set
Ting the policy of the state in this
manner and leading the schools of the
small towns on the state treasury. 1t
was tabled for future debate.
The petition of Charles f. Thayer of
Norwich, state democratic committee
chairman, to incorporate the Norwich
~, irybt
was rejected. Mr. Whittlesey of Dan
bury said that it was the proposal of
the incorporators to turn the company
over to the city of Norwich when Its
bonds were paid.
The constitutional amendment COM
mittee reported substitute bill provid-
ing that judges of the common pleas
courts be appointed by the governor.
This was substitute for a bill pre-
scented by Mr.. Housed of New Haven.
Mr.. Housels bill provided for the cleo
ton by the people of judges of all the
inferior courts, and was presented to
give opportunity for some change from
the present system, which is generally
regarded as perniclous
BY Motion of Mr.. Woodruff of Or
ange the House voted to recall from
the clerk of engrossed bills the resolu-
ton amending the charter of the West !
Shore railroad company. Mr.. Housed of
New Haven and Mr.. Woodruff of Or |
ange were appointed a committee to |
recall the measure. This action is TAX
en- because tn amendment permits the
company to extend it's lines to the |
Woodmont station of the New York, |
,-ailrpoH Tho |
Milford Traction company already has
q charter to extend it's lines to the |
railroad station. This company is un
der the control of the Connecticut Rail-
way and Lighting company.
1t is supposed that the Milford |
Traction company will extend it's line
to the railroad station, and the Fair
Haven and Westville Railroad COM
pany, which practically controls the
West Shore company, has consented to
the change in the resolution, and to
the elimination Of the amendment to
the West Shore charter. Allan w.
Paige, of counsel for the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting company, when
asked about the matter, would not ex-
plain the reason for the recall of the
bill. but intimated that the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting company and
the Fair Haven and Westville company
were in harmony with each other. This
if it is made, would not affect
he amendment which permits the West
Shore to straighten it's line between
Savin Rock and Woodmont.
In the Senate Senator Kenealy an
bounced that next Tuesday the House
and Senate would ask to fix the date

3e brought to close on the date to be
liked This day will be either June 5,
