trustees and as such immediately re< sponsible for the safety and propef management of the property. Mrs! Pettingill left the property to the da- rectors of the public library as trus- tees for the city. In this capacity the--s are required to be most careful ano, cfrcumsDect as apart from the ord1n- ary powers and status conferred upon them as directors.
 No change whatever is made in thg number of directors to be appointed oF to the length of term of three years. The only change is in providing foN the appointment of successors to retir- ing members by the board of directors instead of by the Mayor. Undoubtedly the measure will be favored by the Legislature as being in every way pro-. fitable and desirable for the library and the city. The library does no6 come under the Jurisdiction of the city but is operated under the general leg islative act named above.
 Gen. Henry A. Bishop, president of the board of directors, when seen abor1ti the matter today, said the bill would, undoubtedly be presented tomorrow. He said the provisions were perfect 1y simple and plain and would, he be- i lieved, be for the best interests of all concerned, that the directors had not1l- ing to conceal and desired the puiblicl to fully understand the nature antF purpose of the bill.

SENATOR PENN
 WILL OFFER BILL
 TO CLOSE DOUBT
President Bolande Confers With Norman F. Allen of Hartford About Utilities Legislation.

President F. w. Bo1ande of the Bridgeport Business Mems association conferred this morning with Norman legislative committee of the state as- sociation. regarding some important points that were brought up in the dls- the meeting of the association last night.
 None of the senators and representa- lives present seemed to know whether the bill reported to the judiciary com mittee by the temporary commission, and recommended with a few changes by the legislative committee of the State Business Mems association. had actually been introduced in the legis- lature or not. Only two days remained for the introduction of new business, and it was thought some ac- tion should be quickly taken.
 MT. Allen said he had just come from the capitol and the point in question had been met. Chairman Burnes of the judiciary committee was of the opinion that the report as turned over to his committee carried with it the process of introduction as a bill or resolution. On the other hand the at torney general, who was seeo. did not have that idea Therefore it has been arranged that tomorrow morning if there is the slightest doubt in the mat ter, Senator Fenn, member of the Business Mems committee. will offer the resolution.
 MT. Allen also stated that an early hearing would be asked of the Judiciary committee and that each association would be notified of the date so that large delegations might be present from every town. He said he expected to have fully 200 business men present at the hearing.
