MT. Kingsbury of Coventry said that a club should not be allowed to sell liquors to members unless it pa1d for the privilege, just as the saloon keeper does. MT. Gun of Milford thought that the passage of the bill would bring about an avalanche of small clubs which would try to do a saloon business under club license. was unfavorable on the measure, but the House rejected the report. The matter was tabled.
 Relative to the resolution asking at tendance of the members. Representa- tive Hooker of Hartford said the matter is not a joke; it would in the end save expense and greatly expedite work, as it would permit evening sessions.
 Mr. Burbank of Sufield said he thought there is common sense in it.
 MT. Bidwen of East Hartford said that two years ago the Legislature did not adjourn until July 19, and it would not this year unless some such measure passed.
 Mr. Banks said the resolution would save money for the state, as it would save car fare and shorten the session He hoped the House would either vote for the resolution and take the money or else vote it down and attend the ses sions for nothing. It should do oue thing or the other. It was absurd to vote to meet at 10:30 o'clock and then allow the House to meet with mere corporal's guard.
