 Senator Judson discussed the sanita- ton of Boundaries, taking up the sub- stitutes, which he had introduced, giv- ing the necessary authority to the fac- tory inspector to enforce sanitary reg ulations. Senator Lake approved the principles of the bill, holding that workers in boundaries should have the facilities provided for in the substitute. Senator Brown was heartily in favor of the bill and could not see why any en- ployers of labor should object to it. Senator Smith said the bill does not af- feet him as he provides the facilities in his works that are contemplated in the bill. Senator Bradstreet said there would be no danger in leaving the en- forcement of the bill to the factory in- spector. On vote the substitute was adopted.
 The bill repeating the sections of the general railroad law authorizing the unlimited paralleling of railroad lines was called from the table by Senator Bradstreet. He said these sections had been or no practical value to the state. Senator Donovan took decided ground against the repeal of the law and desig- mated the project as stupendous folly. He said the legislature could not af- ford to place the control of all railroad enterprise in the hands of the Consoli- dated road. Such legislation would be suicidal. Senator Judson said he was not wholly in favor of the bill. While he recognized the necessity of enlarged powers for the railroad company he could not support the provisions of the bill giving the road limitless control of property. He recalled the history of railroad legislation in the state, refer ring to the shameless use of money by the railroad company. It was notorious that votes had been bought and sold in the past in behalf of the Consolidated railroad. The law which it is sought to repeal has been on the statute books since 1871. Competition, he said is needed. He did not think the people of Connecticut should be deprived of the right to have competing railroads. The public can only be benefited by compe- ! tition. He ridiculed the idea that the Legislature should rush in and save the Consolidated road from competition
