NEW LONDON STATION
 THREATENED BY FIRE. Broke Out Three Times in Union Rail- road Station Saturday.

Fire broke out three times at the union passenger station at New Lon don Saturday morning and each time the prompt action of persons employed in the building saved 1t from destrue- tion. The fires were caused by the overheating of the furnace in the cell lar of the building, which set fire te the woodwork.
 The first tive fires occurred in the early morning, but were discovered immediately and subdued without much difficulty, The third fire broke out about 7.90 o'clock and was dis covered when thick smoke was Rs- ticed penetrating the floor of the sta tion near the newsstand, under which the furnace is located. at the north end of the building.
 StatieRmaster Timothy Collins, Call CT Thomas Colbert, Manager James F. O'Leary of the depot restaurant and others procured water and fire extin- guishefs with which they succeeded in putting the fire cut, The. smoke was dense and some difficulty was experi- eneed but it was found not necessary to call the fire department.

 About s.30 a supper was served. fol- lowed by remarks by some of the guests and a program of entertain ment Robert J. Kelley was in charge of the entertainment program. Among those who entertained were Frederick J. Moran in monologue, George Goss, basso, and Edward Corcoran, Robert Spelman and Herman Staub of the New London office
 The hall was decorated for the event with palms and ferns and each diner had a red carnation.
 This is the annual event, Norwich and Westerly doing a similar stunt each year with the New London clerks and carriers as guests.

SAFE FOR COMPTROLLER
 TO PAY MILEAGE.
Attorney General Assures Him That
 He Gan Pay Transportation.

Comptroller Daniel P. Dunn. wcr- ried over the storm regarding mileage of members of the legislature, decided to take no steps toward paying the messengers, doorkeepers and other em- ployes of the present session of the legislature until he could obtain an opinion regarding the legality and method of so doing from the attorney general Judge Light. in a short opin- ion which is appended, tells the comp troller that 1t will be perfectly safe to pay full mileage of legislative em fusion. they shall continue to pay theif own mileage until the end of the ses- sion, and then be reimbursed in full.
 The opinion is as follows
 | Hon. Daniel F. Dunn. Comptroller:
 s Dear Sir: You ask me to didect you as to the proper manner oof furnish ing transportation to clerks, chaplalns, messengers and doorkeeperes of the senate and house of representatives, under section 4S13 of the general stat utes, as amended by chapter g of the public acts of 1913. approved April 13, 1918.
 The provision of the law. as amend ed, reads as follows:
 "The comptroller shall furnish trans portation to said officers from their respective homes to Hartford during the session of the general assembly" DClOI6 Sdlu ~llS IdW IC- quired the comptroller to furnish the trans portation lin the same manner and to the same extent that such transportation is furnished to the members of the general assembly"
 Until the present session members were furnished transportation under section 142 of the general statutes, but that law has been held to be unconsti- tutional by this department and mem bers are now entitled to receive one mileage each way for the regular SeS- sion, at the rate of 25 cents ped mile. The constitution contains no provision for furnishing mileage to the officers in question. and the amendment to the old statute, striking out the provision that transportation should be furnish ed in the same manner and to the same extent that such transportation is furnished to members of the general assembly, clearly expresses the inten- ton of the legislature to remove all possible limitations in furnishing transportation to clerks, chaplains messengers and doorkeepers.
 In view of the circumstances whicf inspired the amendment to the law and the language used in making the change, I am of the opinion that the statute as amended should be con- strued to apply to the whole of thG present session of the general assem- bly,, and that you are at liberty tt furnish transportation 10 Sal0 Oncer< in such manner as you may think ad- visable.
 1 understand that, as yet, you have not provided any transportation fol them therefore, it may be desirable to have them continue to furnish theil own transportation, and to present claims for reimbursement at the close of the session.
 Respectfully submitted
 JOHN H LIGHT
 Attorney General.
