 a state tax is called for to expend $310, 900 for maintenance and $525,000 for quarters for less than 5000 men. MT. koppleman moved the matter be indefinitely postponed

Koppleman made motion to reconsider
 Mir. Healey said he did not believe that the house meant to deprive the
 city of Waterbury from its greatly
 needed armOry, or other places where actually needed. He said it came in
 bad grace for a representative from
 Hartford who has a state armory
 that cost S10O.0 .000, and other state
 buildings, to move indefinite postpone
 ment.
 MT. Thoms of Waterbury spoke in
 favor of the armory in Waterbury and
 the need for it. and everybody in the
 state interested in military matters
 comedies the need. The armory was
 asked for on it's merits solely.
 MT. Magee hoped the motion to re-
 consider would prevail and if so vot-
 GU lie NOuIu present 6ctu dTnlOTY mat
 ter in separate bills and give the mem
 bers opportunity to decide each upon
 it's merits.
 Mir. Caine of Naugatuck declared that MT. KOppleman's motion to in
 definitely postpone was the most
 vicious of the session, and considering
 what had been done for Hartford in
 this matter he should feel ashamed of
 himself. From personal observation
 he knew there was a need for an arm
 ory in Waterbury, and he hoped the
 motion to reconsider would prevail
 MT Avery of Groton said he op-
 posed the bill on account of its blank ct feature, but favored reconsidera-
 ton, so that each proposed armory could De acted upon separately.
 AIr Han favored reconsideration
 and declared the matter should be de- cided upon merit.
 The motion to reconsider prevailed Then Mir Magee asked for suspension of the rules that the several appropri- ations for armories might be consid- cred separately. The motion prevail ed.

 MT Magee said he was presenting the bills in order as named in the orig ina1 resolution. He offered the resolu- | tion appropriating 900 for an arm cry site in Bristol. MT Healey said
