CITIES AND BoRoUGHs
COMMITTEE ACTS FAVoRABLY.
Resolution Will Be Reported to Legis-
iature on Tuesday.

Hartford, June 17.-There is every
likelihood that the city of Norwich will
lie given the permission of the general
assembly to appropriate whatever
money it wishes to put into the cell
ebration to be held on the 5th and
9Th of next month. The joint COM
mittee on cities and boroughs held
a hearing on the resolution introduced
by Representative Tibbits this aft
ernoon and after Mr.. Tibbits had ex-
planned that the ancient charter Of
the city made it Illegal for Norwich
TO appropriate more than one thou
sand dollars in any one year for such
a purpose, and that the city must
have relief from the legislature if it
is to make proper showing, there
was nothing more to be said. OF course
no one appeared in opposition.
The committee later took up the
matter in executive session and voted
to report the Tibbits resolution favor
ably. The resolution is a new one,
and really comes under the head of
new business, it not having been in
troduced by thief Norwich member till
long after the date for the expiration
of the period during which. new bust
ness might be introduced had long
passed. But the fact that it will come
into the house with a favorable re-
port from the committee, of which
Representative Scott of Plymouth Z is
house chairman. should give it such
prestige there that a mere explana-
ton of the situation in which Nor
wich finds itself should be sufficient
to insure its passage.
