 Senator Louis w. Arnold of West eriy, chairman of the finance commit tee, was kept busy answering ques- tions at Thursdays session during the consideration of the appropriation bill, and had a lively tilt with several of the senators. At one point in the pro- most of the assemblymen were not entitled to the mileage allowance given them by the state for going to and from the capitol. because they rode on the strength of the passes giv- en them by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad' Co.
 Senator Arnold said: Il am riding on pass given me in the name of President Me1len and l am not asham- ed of it. All I wish is that MT. Mel len would send me pass that would be accepted all over the great sys- tenn
 This outburst was occasioned, by Senator Mckenna of Cumberland, who said the members of the assembly could not receive their salaries and mileage unless the appropriations bill was passef..s
 I.. l. <1x< often said Mir. Arnold. AS a matter of fact most of the members of this general assembly ride on passes fur nished them by the New Haven road and so they can have no legitimate kick even if they never receive any mileage
 At another point in the discussion finance committee has had the. ap- pr0priations bill in it's hands for about a month, and asked why the commit tee did not bring in an appropriation of $30000 to square up the bill of the state printer. He also asked Was the finance committee afraid of a howl from the people?

The assembly sat about for thirty or forty days during the first part of the session. doing nothing, when it could be considering the ap- propriation bill and others. He was glad the matteD had been brought up and suggested7 that the senator from Providence bring in deficiency bill for the amount named If this was done, his committee wodld be glad to consider it. Senator Johnson declared that he had been asked by a Wholesa1- CT a day Or so ago when the appro- priation bill was to be passed, for this man had said his conceSp was about q year behind in its bills with the state and was wondering when the state would square it's account.
