 As chairman of this committee I desire to say that there is no doubt in my mind that some bill, either this one or one at least having something of this bills character, should be pass state.

Senator Louis w. Arnold of this town. The bill has been referred to the judi ciary committee. The bill is the re- suit of the new town hall and court : house, which it is expected will be ready for occupancy in May. and asks that the boundary line of the two yot- ing districts running over the center ot Broad street from the bridge to the junction of Broad, Granite and Elm streets be changed that the assembly
 hall of the town hall section of the
 building may be in both districts, and
 thus do away with two separate meet
 ing and polling places for the two dis
 tricts. This would be of great con
 venience to the voters of the town.
 With the location of the town hall
 as it is. it is desired<to have an tmag-
 iEary line extend from point in the
 center of Bread street through the
 middle of the assembly hall to the
 south wall of the hall extending from
 the west to the east side of the struc-
 sections of the building. From tn.
 south wall of the hall the line would
 extend in an easterly direction to the
 boundary line of the town property and that of Christ Episcopal church, and would then run north to the cen ter of Broad street again and continue on as before This would throw rectangular piece of the town prope~ ty, including the east half of the town to about 1000 square feet.
 It is probable that the bill will meet with the approval of the judiciary committee, as the division as indicated would greatly simplify matters con corning the town as a whole, such as the holding of caucuses for the nomi- nation of representatives and other matters that require the polling of votes in the separate districts.
