THE PATENT LAWS.
blll Just Introduced Which Will In-
 terest Patent Attorneys.
Special to Democrat.)

| Special to Democrat.) Washington, March 22-A bill has just been reported to the house which will prove of considerable interest to patent attorneys and applicants for pa- tents. The bill provides for an amend ment to the present patent laws rela- 1 tive to the price to be paid for umcerti- fled copies of specifications and draw 1ngs of patents. At present the rate is | fixed at not more than 10 cents copy and usually the price is only 5. This bill provides, however, that the price shall be not more than 10 cents for each unit of five pages.
 Several hearings were held before the committee on patents of the house, and the change was urged by the com missioner of patents, because 1t cost the government 1.6 cents for each sheet. Sometimes there are 200 pages for one patent. Yet the price charged is only 10 cents, and the commissioner thinks 1t would be fairer all around to charge by the sheet. The bill is on the calendar and may come up at any time. The manufacturers and patent attorneys have just discovered this move, and they are appealing to their members to defeat the bill. The Con- necticut' members are getting protests from prominent patent attorneys of the state
 The Connecticut members are in receipt of resolutions adopted by the Connecticut chapter of the American Institute of Architects protesting against certain buildings to be put up in Washington by the department of agriculture. It is claimed these build ings will interfere with the plan pro- posed for beautifying the capital in accordance with the plans originally laid out.
 Petitions have also been received by the Connecticut members from the New England Manufacturing Jewellers and Silversmiths' association protest ing against the eight-hour bill.
 Congressman Sperry to-day intro duced in the house a petition from the Helpers division, No 96, Brotherhood of BOilermakers and Iron Ship Build CTS, favoring the merchant marine.
 The postoffice department has issued orders for the establishment of a rural free delivery route from Clinton, Mid dlesex county, to cover the town of KiHfngworth. The office at Killing worth is not to be discontinued, how ever. The postmaster of the latter place died a few weeks ago and the place is now vacant.
 The republican members of the house met last night to elect congress sional committee for the coming cam paign. The Connecticut delegation se- lected Congressman Lilley for the rep resentative from the state on this com mittee, and he was duly elected.

NOW FOR THE TROLLEY.
Aldermen Make Conditions Agreeable to Trolley Co.,
 Local Man Takes The 500 900 Bond Issue

Hewitt, Bergin and Stanley, were passed to be engrossed:
 Section 1. Every person conducting a plumbing business or taking any plumbing contracts in the city of Wa terbury shall be registered at the of flee of the board of commissioners of public works.
 Sec 2 The ordinance relative to plumbers passed by the board of al- dermen, March 3, 1902, is hereby re- pealed.
 Sec 3. Every person violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misde- meanor and punished by a fine of not less than $2O or more than $50 for each offense.
 The votes passed two weeks ago rela- tive to issuance of sewage disposal bonds were rescinded and an order passed for call for bids for the sale Of $1O,OOO worth of sewage disS2sal bonds bearing interest at 312 per VI nt' the same to be delivered July 2, 19o4. The petition of J. R. Lawlor asking for a water main in South Wilson street was referred to the board of pup lie works. All the recommendations of the department of public works printed herein before, were approved. The board adjourned until the regu- lar meeting in April.
 Before the adjourned meeting was called to order, a special meeting was held to act upon bids for the sale of $1OO,OOO water bonds. Only one pro- posal was received, that of Robert F. Griggs of this city. for the entire issue at par with accrued interest at 3zs per l cent While 1t was the poorest offer the city ever considered seriously for the sale of bonds, still 1t was consid- cred big hit to get it on account of the stringency in the money market, several out of town brokers stating | that the sale of the bonds at that fig ure was out of the question at this time. The bid was accepted. Mayor Elton was present and considered the bid a feather in the cap of Waterbury and said he felt very much elated over it. It was at the mayors suggestion 1 that the votes relative to sewage dis posaI bonds were rescinded and others passed. This is the biggest purchase 1 of Waterbury bonds ever made by q 1 local man and proves that no matter what outsiders think of the Brass city, 1 its own citizens have faith in its sta bility
 1 With the trolley service on Baldwin I street, which is now an assured thing the building boom may turn in that direction and put people who own more land than they have any use for in ] position to make some disposition of it. There are large tracts of undeveloped property in that part Of the town, and if the trolley means anything it ought to bring them into the market. > The assessors are already figuring ! on raising values along the route, but ! the people will want to wait until they see what effect the new order of things i will have with reference to the price 1 Of tenements. If the taxes go upward rents will have to take the same l course. Why not?

Pullman Company Draws Color Limo
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 22.-The Pullman company has begun to en- force the color line in the south more rigidiy than ever. Tn defiance of the separate coach law of Kentucky, when Mrs. H. V. \McChesny, wife of the secretary of state, accompanied by her child and colored nurse, boarded an Illinois Central train to ride from this city to Paducah. the Pullman con- ductor refused to permit the nurse to ride in the sleeping car, and all took seats in the day coach. The train con- ductor told the Pullman conductor that the Kentucky separate coach law especially excepts negro servants trav- cling as such, but the Pullman official said that he had his orders to refuse berth and seat room to all negroes.
