AFTERNOON SESSION.
House Cleaned Up the Calendar
Optional Closing of SALOONS.

Hartford. Conn.,, July S.-The house
made excellent progress during its af-
ternoon session today and cleaned up
the calendar, and got many minor mat
ters out of the way. After passing in
the morning the Manchester trolley
fare bill reducing the price of fare be-
tween Manchester and Hartford. the
house voted after dinner to accept the
report of the nailroad committee and
reject the measure providing for a
similar reduction 1on the lines between
Branford and East Haven and New
Haven, also between Stonington and
Pawcatuck, and a few moments later
granted a reduction in the fare be-
tween Bridgeport and Derby in the
town of Huntington, and then rejected
a similar proposition in the town of
Windsor. "a
Sharing of Cost of Repairing Bridges.
Representative Bishop attacked the
measure favored by the railroad COM
mittee which provides that where there
is a question of the sharing of the cost
of repairing bridges over which trolley
lines pass between the companies and
the towns between which the bridges
are operated the railway commiss-on-
ers shall act as referees.
He said that this would pave the
way for extensive demands on the
towns. that bridges over which such
trolley lines pass should be built
strong enough for the passage of heavy
freight cars over them. and stated that
the railroad is gradually developing its
trolley express into trolley freight car
riers.
Mr.. Chandler of Rocky Hill, VINO
spoke in favor of the measure. said
that there was a grave danger to the
public in allowing present conditions
to continue, as some disputes had al
ready arisen between the trolley COM
panies and the towns. and, as neither
woould make the necessary repairs, the
condition of the bridges had become
dangerous to traffic. He thought that
IL the house did not care to accept the
railroad commissioners as the proper
tribunal they ought to designate some
other tribunal for the work, as the
conditions call for some remedy. The
matter finally went to the foot of the
calendar at the request of Representa-
tive Fuller of Sueld, who said that
they had already found one bill from
the railroad committee which they had
been assured was a harmless one and
which would have saddled a large ex-
pense for repairs upon the towns. He
thought that there ought to be time
given TO take the matter up and in
Vestigate it more thoroughly.
The act providing that no railroad
can obstruct any highway for more
than five minutes was adopted after q
brief explanation.
