 Hartford, July 1.-The Senate met at 1o:30 this morning and got through with a very full days business.
 For nearly three quarters of an hour it debated the resolution exemptfng Bantam Lake and it's tributaries from the charter rights of the city of Wa terbury to take waters anywhere in Litchfield County and finally concurred with the House in passing the resolu- tion. The Waterbury Senators put up a brave fight but on the only roll call vote taken which was on, an amend ment, only three other Senators stood with them.
 The saloon closing bill under which saloons must close at 10 o'clock in the evening which passed the House after the committee on excise had been turned down, came into the Senate to- day and Senator Radcliffe, chairman of that committee secured its rejection and the acceptance of the unfavorab1e report. Later on, however, the Senate reconsidered and tabled the bill for the calendar as had been originally agreed
 Among the matters which passed the Senate were the following: A New Ha- ven charter amendment in regard to the civil service: the appointment of H. Simons Mowbray of Washington Henry w. .Farnum and Burton Mans field of New Haven, members of the state commission of sculpture; the ap- prOprlaIlOnS TOT a new Du1lQ1ng at the Connecticut Agricultural College; the incorporation of the St. Johns Indus trial School at Deep River; $75,0O0 ap- propriation for a nurses home at the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at Middletown; $5,000 additional for St. Joseph's Hospital at Willimantic; $109,- 200 for current expenses for the Nor wich Hospital for the Insane; $91, ,490 for the executive department for the next two years; and the amendment to the law concerning the salaries Of savings bank presidents.
 When the Senate had passed the bill providing for s100, 900 street paving bond issue for New Haven, Senator Blakeslee moved that it be immediate ly transmitted to the expressing clerk and this was done.
 The House to-day refused to make the Southern New England Telephone bonds legal investments for savings banks by vote of 132 to 35. The measure favorably and made as good a fight as possible under the circum- stances for it's passage, but from all over the Houses one member after an other attacked the company until it was strange that a single vote in fa- vor of the bill lshould have been re- corded.
 The Old Lyme-old saybrook bridge bridge over the Connecticut river near its mouth which has already passed the Senate was passed by the House after the latter body refused to make the bond issue s70O,Oo0 and include in this proposition another toll bridge between East Haddam and Haddam.
 The House extended the time within which the Connecticut Company may build its new line to Lighthouse Point in New Haven. Among other meas ures which passed the House were the following: an appropriation of $12,- 900 for a new building for the Mystic Oral School a provision for the cor rection of errors in the Connecticut Civil War Roster; an appropriation of s. 900 to be used in connection with the acceptance of the equestrian statue of Lafayette tot be presented to the state by Paul Whalen Bartlett; and a charter amendment fon the Bridge port Gas Light Company to permit it to extend into Fairfield and Stratford.
 After the charter amendment of the Uncas Power Company had been very bitterly attacked in the House that body turned the bill down.
