GREATER REPRESENTATION
 FOR CONNECTICUT CITIES
Aim of Pardee Plan Which Will Have
 Favorable Minority Report.

Hartford, April 1.-The committee on
 new towns and probate districts is
 preparing to submit a minority report
 on a bill that will give the cities ad-
 ditional representation in the lower
 branch of the general assembly. The Pardee bill giving the HNm City four teen towns, the Kopplemann bill giv- ing Hartford ten towns, the Thonas bill creating towns in accordance with the ward lines of Waterbury, and oth- CT bills giving the cities additional members on the basis of their ward lines will be merged into @ general
 blanket bill which will reduce one-ha1f the demands of the cities. For in
 stance New Haven will be created into seven towns and Hartford into five. This will give new Haven fourteen
 members of the lower house and Hart ford ten, while the other centers of population in the state will be equally
 as well treated. Whether such bill will be given the sanction of the towns
 entrenched house of representatives is another story, but it is an advance to
 get a report of this kind from a com -mittee, which is more than partially
 made up of small town representatives this session.
 Persons who were bewiIdered at the announcement of the veto on the county commissfonership question in the house, Wednesday, and took the trouble to count up the Democratic votes, after the clerks had made the
 announcement of the adoption of the Magee amendment, as 119 to 108
 found that an error of ten votes had
 been made against the Democrats. The result was, and should have been so announced, as 119 to 11s. The victory for the Republicans it can thus be
 seen, was the scantiest. The figures 118 look better for the Democrats in sticking to their platform measures,
 as the smaller number announced af- ter the vote indicated unnecessari- Iy large number of absentees.
