LOOK FOR LATE SESSION
Appr0p f1ation Bills Noe Hold Cen
ire of Interest.

UG " INTEREST.
Hartford, June (SpeciaD-The situation as to
the big appropriation bills, which has been con-
stantly shifting and may yet be responsible for
prolong1ng the present session of the General As
semoly late into July, remains superior in interest
though of course there IS much interest in the final
termination of the trolley mix-up and the automo-
one Dill The latter seems certain to pass both
houses as matters stand at present, with only
trlhing amendments Senator Butterworth is ex-

which are likely to pass. the most important rails
ing the annual fee OF manufacturers from $40 10
500 The Highway Commissioner has the right
under the bill to the testers individual
marks in addition to the manufacturers general

Bridgeport & Danbury charter comes before the
House fresh bill with the Senate amendment

Senate, though Senator Atwater declares it never
shall unless in its complete form
Regarding the appropriation bills there Is much
more doing, Senator McGovern has come over to
the Anerton good roads bill, which provides for an
annual appropriation of ST. 100000 to be expended by
the state on trunk roads which 1t shall take over
and Senator Buell. has dropped all opposition to
this and all thought of doing anything with his
bill carrying 100000 two years ana leaving the
road situation In the halfway condition It is to-
day. Highway CommissiCT er Macdonald has COM
petely repudated this bill.
He wants something put in the Allerton bill
which shall stipulate the proportion OF the ap-
preparation each town shall be entitled to- and that
will probably be done The Appropriations Com
mittee expects also to report this 00000O appro-
prtation for six years, instead OF five. that this
