 Argument in favor of making the usual appropriation of $2,000 for the draw bridge between the towns of East Lyme and Waterford were made be- fore the appropriations committee at a hearing Tuesday afternoon.
 It may not be proper to accuse the gentleman of being dissatisfied with the name of the town that he repre- sents in the legislature, it is possible that he introduced the petition by re- quest, but at any rate, the committee on new towns and probate districts will listen Thursday afternoon to Representative Chandler's petition, changing the name of Rocky Hill te South Hartford. Rocky Hil sounds somewhat cold and forbidding, it is said, to many citizens of that town, while Hartford. even with South at tached to it. suggests many happy pos abilities and probabilities.

H|RSCHbERG CAN'T
SEE FACTORY PLAN
BUT HE WOULD AGREE TO JAIL
BIRD LABOR ON
ROCK PILE.

Councilman John Hirschberg, who
In president OF the Richmond Labor
Council. does not look with favor on
Councilman Vonderlehr's proposition
to start municipal shoe factory TO
give employment to prisoners In the
city Jail, thus converting that place
into workhouse.
Mr.. Hirschberg believes that such
a factory as Mr.. Vonderlehr would
have operated would be In direct OPP
position to well defined principles for
which his labor union stands. How
ever. he would be delighted TO see
the Idle iail-birds put on a rock pile
and on some other work of that class
Mr.. Nonderiehr WAS present last
night in the City Hall when the labor
leader was venting his views on the
subject and readily agreed that the
Jail birds could find no better en-
ployment than that suggested by Mr.
Hirschberg. He then went on to say
that his ideas might be put into ef-
feet by the acquisition OF "a municipal
granite quarry and an up-t date rock
crusher.
Mr.. Vonderlehr does not agree with
Mr.. Hirschberg altogether in his claim
that a shoe factory run with jail labor
would work any hardship on Organ
lied labor for the reason that he
proposes to devote the proceeds Of
the workshop to families of the pris-
oners. and does not propose TO have
the shop operated on a money max
ing basis
