sentative Smith the committee chair man, said that he had been requested to have the report tabled. Representa- tive Hoyt of Derby asked to be inform ed on what was customary and as the speaker said that no custom had been established to fit this case, the matter was tabled. Representative Burnes of i Greenwich, house chairman of the committee on railroads, called from the calendar the favorable report of the committee of resolutions amending the charter of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. MT Burnes explained the amendments say 1 ing that section provided that the railroad company on two-thirds of the vote of the directors had authorized the | issuing of additional capital stock tc holders of convertible debenture bonds He said that h edd not think 1t was l fair to exclude tn eholders of the paper 1 from participating in additional issues of stock.

wished to make, and himself present. ed witnesses who were heard
 Now, therefor upon the sworn testi- mony given at said hearing, find said representations to be proven and true; that said Steele id so request said Healy to secure or attempt to secure for him, said Steele said nomination and appointment as county commits sioner of Hartford county by the gem eral assembly now in session and said Healy thereupon said to said Steele in effect, that 1t was expensive to obtain such nomination and appointment, and that if said Steele wished to be can didate for county commissioner he would have to put up" $1,200, where upon said Steele, or his friend who ac- cCmpanied him and was present at said interview, said to said Healy that he thought said price was an extrava- ga@t one. and asked said Healy if he would give said Steele two or three days to consider the proposition and said Healy replied to them that he would.
 An attempt to secure a nom!aation and appointment as county commis- sioner by any such expenditure of money would only be by efforts to im- properly influence the members of the general assembly in their official action, which would be an Insult to them, and such efforts and practices, whether suc- cessful or not, create public scandal, are against public policy, and are detri- mental to good government and good morals. It is manifestly and especially improper and scandalous for an lndivid- ual who at the time hold public office to engage, or to offer or consent to en- gage, in such practices, thereby add 1 ing to the necessarily implied pecin- ary influence such influence and pres tige as he may have by reason of his official position and inevitably bringing | discredit upon the public office he oc- cuples, and impunging his fitness to perform the duties of such office.
 q am convinced that the aforesaid facts constitute proper, just and suf- 1 ncient cause for the removal of said Frank F. Healy from the office he now holds as tax commissioner of the state of Connecticut, and, therefore, by vir- | tue of the statute me thereto emnow- ering do hereby remove the said Frank | r.

The governor was selected as a trustee or the company, by unanimous choice Of the directors, to sell out the concern for the benefit of the parties at inter est.
 He has sold the real estate, stock on hand, machinery, etc., and now has the money in his hands. No'statement as to the amount of dividend that will be paid can be made as yet, because the exact liabilities have not been deter mined.

 This is an excellent showing, as the inventory on this part of the property by experts made a total of $175OO. The increase of the sum of the proceeds over the appraisal was due to Governor Woodruffs intimate knowledge of the business and his skillful management. The directors are pleased with the man. ner in which he has disposed of the business.

This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater with which it quickly becomes filled. As soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo de velopment into tadpoles.
