Judge Fillmore $. Banks, speaker of the House of Representatives, has not completed the selection of the mem- bers of the special committee that is to endeavor to perfect public utilities bill, to be presented to the present general assembly. The speaker has de- cided, however, that no member of the judiciary committee of the present House will be appointed to the com mittee.
 The reason for this is obvious The question to be considered has already been before the judiciary committee and was unfavorably reported. Speaker Banks believes that. in view of the eral assembly adverse to the position taken by the Judiciary committee on this question, it would not be the proper thing to name any member of that committee upon the special com mittee.
 The speaker will not. however. only restrict his appointments to those who voted on the floor of the House for the reason that the House itself, by vote. refused to indicate that it de- sired the speaker to follow such a course. The House members of the new committee will be composed of those who voted to reject the utilities bill upon the unfavorable report of the judiciary committee as well as those who voted against the judiciary committee.
 The majority of the House members however will be taken from those who voted against the judiciary commmit- tee and at least one and probably two of the members will be Democrats. ;
 50 far the only sure names that the speaker has decided upon for the com mittee are Chandler of Rocky Hill, and Whiton of New London.
 Speaker Banks expects to have his committee ready for announcement to the House on Tuesday of next week.
