NOW READY FOR BUSINESS.
Total of Bills Slightly Less Than Two
Years Ago.

Hartford, Feb. 1.-THE general as
sembly is now ready to proceed with
the transaction of business. the time
limit on the introduction Of new meas
ures having expired with the adjourn
ment of both bodies this afternoon.
The total number of bills is slightly
less than two years ago. while there
Is a noticeable falling off in the num-
Der of petitions for various matters.
chiefly for new trolley lines.
The bill for a public utilities COM
mission has gone in. Governor Lilley
is very hopeful of its passage, as he
finds very little opposition to the prln-
ciple of the measure, ard is greatly
impressed by the number Of voluntary
promises of members of both branches
to aid in its passage.
Under the law the governor will be
obliged to make two railroad commits
sion appointments within the next
fortnight and he will reappoint o. R
Fyler and Andrew F. Gates. whose
terms expire. Should the public util-
tiles bill pass it is believed that the
life of the railroad commission will be
short The claims of candidates for
railroad commissioners have not been
presented to the governor. and so far
there have been no applicants for
either position.
