FIVE MEMBERS ON
 CITY LIGHTING COMMISSION.
House Concurs Act Previously Favor ed by State Senate.

The act increasing the number of members from three to five in the commission of the gas and electrical department of Norwich. which came to the house from the senate. passed un- der suspension of the rules, was reached on the calendar Friday Mir. King, house chairman of the commit tee on cities and boroughs, stated he could see no valid reason why ,he house should not concur with the sen ate action. He explained that the act provided that the mayor, with the ap- prOVal of the court of common council shall appoint two commissioners, one for four and one for five years, and annually thereafter one commissioner whose term of office shall be for five years MT. King moved that the re- port be accepted and the bill adopted.
 MT. Kelley of WilIimantic seconded the motion stating he had been relia- bly, informed that there was practical ly no opposition to the increase in the membership of the commission. except perhaps a few who were opposed for personal reasons rather than for the public good. He urged immediate ac- tion, which was necessary. as the bill specified that the mayor must appoint on or before May 13 of the present year, and therefore there was no time to spare. The matter was put upon it's passage and was adopted without opposition. The bill now goes to the expressing clerk and then to the gov ernor for signature, and will then be operative, as there is specification that it will be in effect upon it's passage.

INFANT DAMNATION
 ALLOWED TO STAND
Southern Presbyterian Church Refuses
 to Change Confession of Faith.

Louisville. Ky, May 9-For the sec ond time the proposed amendment to the confession of faith in connection with the much discussed "elect infant clause has failed to receive the neces- sary three-fourths votes of the Pres byteries of the Southern Presbyterian church. Although defeated on a for mer occasion, the general assembly last year again submitted to the Pres byteries the matter of changing the language of the confession of faith. Returns received by the Christian Ob- server of Louisville show that twen- ty-two Presbyteries already have voted against the proposed change, thus in suring its defeat. It has been charged that the language of the confession as f now reads, elect infants dying in infancy" etc, can be construed as de- claring that some infants are elect and some are non- elect. Those who favor the change argue that the church believes all children dying in infancy are saved and that the confession of faith should be revised so IS to clearly convey this idea.
