move is now being agitated-the open

then be needed also and both the

looked upon with favor the Dandelion
will tend the lights of the Illinois

Lily to be Sold?

Commander Miller says that with
the completion of the Dandelion the
people of the upper river cities and
towns will perhaps see the passing of
the Lily SO far as the upper Mississ-

One plan which is now being con-
sidered is for the sale of the Lily,
that steamer to be replaced by the
Dandelion,' the commander said.
That being the case the Dandelion
would tend the lights of the local

RAISING The SALARIES.
Changes Which Are of Interest Here
State Has Good Officials.
(special 10 Nc Bulletin.)

Hartford, April 15.-The measure
which increases the salary of the dairy
commissioner, H F. Potter, of North
Haven, changes his title from dairy
commissioner to dairy and food COM
missioner and gives him more money
for the expenses of his department
which was reported favorably in the
house today, also touches the deputy
commissioner, Tyler Cruttenden, Of
airy is now 81 800 and he will get $500
If the bill passes as will Commissioner
on Domestic Animals H. o. Averill by
the passage Of a similar measure which
has been favorably reported.
Deputy Commissioner Cfuttenden's
salary is now $1,000 and he is to have
an increase to $500 under the terms
of the measure. All of these salary in
creeses merely bring the salaries UP
to the standard which prevails in most
of the state departments through the
capitol and there are salaries which
are well in excess of these. The state
has unusually good officials in these
three places and there>is little doubt of
the recognition of this in the ready
passage of the bills.
Norwich Is also concerned in the bill
which proposes to establish a state
banking department and raise the sal
aries of the dual commission to $4,000
a year, for Norris S. Lippitt is one Of
the banking commissioners. This bill
1 shardly likely to go through. 1t is a
rather complete readjustment of the
system of state supervision of savings
banks too complete to be really popu-
lar. It is likely, however that sub
stitute will receive favorable action
and in this the salaries of Commits
sioner Lippitt apd Noble will be raised.
