is certainly no reason why the jailer and the sheriff should both be support ed at the expense of the county
 Concerning the custom of receiving fees from the deputies the report says: Some of the sheriffs have been receiv- ing fees for the appointment of their deputies. This is strictly in accordance with the provisions of section 1766 Of the general statutes, which allows the sheriff to receive not more than $40 an nually for such appointment We think this section should be repealed in case the sheriffs are placed on salary basis.
 The commission recommends that the salaries of sheriffs be fixed as follows;
 New Haven, S4,O00.
 Hartford, $4,OO0.
 Fairfield, $4,OOO
 New London, $SO0O.
 Windham, Litchfield and Middlesex, $1,SO0 each.
 Holland, $1,500.
 The report contains much other inter esting information and what it says concerning the income of other sherltfs will interest New Haven also. The to- tai net income received by the sheriff of Hartford county was $S,756.29; New London, $3,9S311; Fairfield, $S,967; Windham, $1,92S.25; Litchfeld, $1,421.41; Middlesex, $2,114,1S; Holland, $1,500.

extension of the Pennington Valley Telephone company into every town and city in the state; to hold, own, equip, and operate a telephone and tel egraph service and it also asks for per- mission to lay wires, cables, poles, etc.
 Under it's present charter the com pany is now operating in New Britain, Farmingtno, Avon, Canton, Plainville, Branby, New Hartford, and Winches- ter.
 Members here say to-day that if the company will show at the hearing be- fore the judiciary committee that 1t is playing a useful part in the towns named it is very probable that the ex- tensions it asks for will be granted. This would constitute rival company in Connecticut to tn eSouthern New England Telephone company.

PRoBATE IUpan sA1ARIEs.

| Hartford Feb. 6.-- The commission appointed by the last general assembly to make a report concerning the amount of fees received by town clerks, clerks of court of common pleas, sheriffs and judges of probate in Connecticut sub mitted it's report to-day, and it contains information that will be eagerly read by people of New Haven. The mystery concerning the amount of income for the judge of probate of New Haven, among other things, is solved by this report It shows that last year the gross income was $17,S5S54, the net in- come was $S,S1252 This net income. therefore, was the amount Judge Cleaveland received for his services, the remaining sum of $S,OOO being paid out for clerical and other assistance. The commission recommends that the salary of the judge hereafter be $5.OOO a year and that the expenses of con ducting the office shall be deducted from the fees, after which the remain ing amount shall be paid into the treas ury of the town. The commission rec ommends that the salaries of clerks in common pleas courts in the various counties be fixed as follows
 New Haven, $4,OOO.
 Hartford, $3,000.
 New London, $2,0OO. Fairfield $400O
 Litchfield, $1,500 F. Concerning sheriffs the report finds that Sheriff Dunham's receipts last year were as follows:
 Salary from state, s1,OOO. Key fees, SLIT.
 Court attendance. S1 days, $405.
 Court fees. $1,S44.7O.
 Five per cent. of fines and costs col lected at jail, $310.48
 Fees from deputies, $9SO.
 Fee as jailor. $500.
 Total, $5,4171S.
 Out of this he paid $12320 for trans portation of prisoners, leaving net in- come of $5, ,293 .9S, not including the sup port of the county jail for himself and family.
 Concerning this practice of sheriffs living at the jail the commission says:
 Some of the sheriffs have been liv- ing at the jails of their respective counties and have received their entire support from the county, while others have not. This living at the expense of the county was not included by the sheriffs in the receipts of the office, although it is so much addition to their source of income. We see no reason why any sheriff should live at the jail and be supported at the expense of the county. It is necessary that each jail should have a jailer who shall be at the jail practically all the time, and as the sheriff must necessarily be away much of the time, the jailer should be some person other than the sheriff.

WITH THE LEGISLATURE.
ANTI-INCORPORATIoN MEAS
 URES ARE INTRODUCED.

One Calling for an Inquiry Into the
 Coal Supply of the state-Others
 Have to Do With Taxation of Public Service COrporations--Proba Judge
 Salaries.
 Hartford, Feb. 6.-Anti-corporatio measures, which were introduced in both branches were the features of the session of the general assembly to-day. One of these calls for an inuiry into the coal supply of the state, and sev- eral others have to do with taxation of public service corporations. The bill ito permit the the citizens of Bridge port to vote on the question of pur- chasing the property of the Bridgeport Hydraulic company places the matter of appraisal of the property in the hands of a commission to be appointed by the superior court, and remon- strance against the valuation is to be held by the court. Municipal bills of many kinds poured in, and several Sunday observance bills made their ap- pearance. The Pennington Valley Tel ephone company asks for permission to do business all over the state.
 Tomorrow will be the last day for the introduction of measures, and pos sibly the number which will come in will be greater than to-day although it is generally believed by members of the general assembly that most of the big measures have already been sent to committees, Owing to the absence of Senator Judson the resolution calling for an investigation of the Fairfield county commissioners office was not taken cp. Senator McNeil of Bridge port continues to be quite ill, and no report has been made on the contested election case, which was heard before the committee of which he is mem ber.
 More committees met to-day and made assignments for hearings, giving evidence that there Is desire to have legislative business move with some speed.

luton providing for another investiga-
