PUBLIC UTILITIES MAY BE
POSTPONED TO NEXT ASSEMBLY.
Insufficient Time This Session to Pre-
pare a Well Rounded Bill.

Hartford, May 9.-It is quite posi-
ble that the public utilities commits
sion matter may yet be postponed to
the next general assembly. The feel
ing is that while perhaps there is
enough in ii to make it wise not to
gummarily dispose of it at this time,
the ideas Of nobody on the subject are
euficientEy developed so that a well
rounded bill can be prepared in the
short time remaining this session. The
only thing that members are certain
Of Is that they do not want special
charters taken away from the legisla
ture, which means that they will not
stand for the bill reported by the tenn
porary commission.
As to what kind of a bin is desirable,
there are many minds and hardly any
two men are agreed, while nobody
KNOWS well enough what he wants to
have II on paper. No amendments
were offered to the Judiciary commit
tee during it's very ample hearings on
The su6ject. except two or three minor
amendments by Malone Of Bristol,
member Of the committee, g4st before
the bill was to be reported Indeed.
had it not been for individuals IN the
house who wished TO exalt themselves
there would have been no fight made
70 save anything Of the present bill.
II has been said over and over by
Chandler Of Rocky Hill, the "insurgent'
se2dar that there were no conditions at
present existing which required com
mission to handle, and this and the
fact that the last legislature and the
present one have remedied many evils
which existed prior to 1907 would make
1t plain that there is no crying need for
a commission now. Two years from
now the public will know better what
It wants.
