Hearing on Optional Char

Hartford, April 24-All eyes today
where the remaining heavy work GEN.
tered. The consideration of the three
most important measures the Legisla-
ture had to deal w1th-employers liza
bility, workmen's compensation, and
public utilities-has taken mp much
time. But the bills are now we'll in
hand, and the committee has formu-
lated skeleton drafts of each bill. The
members give every indication Of re-
porting the measures within a short
time.
Regarding worklnen's compensation,
1t was stated that the committee has
voted on what should be the, salient
features of the act. This skeleton
will be sent to Mayor Fisher of Mid
dletown, Attorney Talcott H. Russell
of New Haven, and J. A. Emery of
Washington, president Of the National
Manufacturers Association. who will
be requested to draft bill to include
and to be built around the features
submitted by the committee. Their
work, it was estimated, would require
about three weeks, and upon their re-
port the Judiciary committee will
frame a bill to submit to the Legisla-
ture.
That afternoon sessions would be
favored by both houses just as soon
as required by the volume of commit
tee reports, was not contradicted to-
day.
Probably the most important COM
mittee hearing this week will be the
public meeting on a bill for optional
charters for cities and towns. At the
present time there is in committee a
bill to allow the town of Norwich to
change to the, commission form of
government. There was no opposi-
ton to the petition and it is believed
that the bill will be reported favor
ably. Such q report would be re-
garded as favorable to the general law
by which any city might change its
form of government without first
making application to the General As
