Representative Arnington's Bill Adve. cates Revision of Statutss-Repre- sentative Neliey's Mileage Resolution Voted-Pisrce- Dustin Marriage-En- iarged Stage for Orpheunn Theatsr

Representative A. H. Huntingdon of Killingly has introduced an important resolution in the general assembly, This calls for the appointment of a committee of seven by Governor Sim con F. Baldwin for the purpose of making complete revision of the general statutes of Connecticut.
 It has been something on the order of unwritten law in Connecticut that the general statutes be recon piled about once in ten years. However about fourteen years have elapsed since the work was last ordered, and about twelve years since 1t was last com pleted.
 Following each biennial session of statutes through the repeating and amending of existing statutes and the enactment of new legislation, record of the changes due to the session is issued, this being commonly known as the Blue book. After several sessions of the legislature and several issues Of the Blue book, though notations of changes are made on the border of pages opposite acts affected in the general statutes, it is not always an easy matter for attorneys, hundreds of town and city officials throughout the state and many other persons to find quickly just what they want. Hence the desire for the revision called for in Representative Arr1ington's resolution.
 The task of revision is a big one requires vast amount of work, and the estimated cost to the state is about s30,000.

THE MILEAGE RESOLUTION.
What Representative w. P. ksIIsy's
 Bill Calls For.

Representative W. P. Keiiey's lKil- 11ngly) resolution relative to securing mileage for members of the general assembly of Connecticut, which passed the house Thursday and was imrnedi- ately transmitted to the senate under suspension of the rules, will probably be acted upon in that body at tomor- rows (Tuesday's) session.
 There has been an impression in some quarters that the resolution em bodies a proposition similar to that made by Comptroller D. P. Dunn to the New Haven road officials and which was not accepted by the latter, but this is not correct impression. Rep- resentative kelley's resolution directs the comptroller to confer with rai1roa d officials relative to securing mileage for session days only upon the nav ment to such railroad company the amount of mileage which Is allowed to each member of the general assembly for the session.
 Representative Kelley estimates ina there will be about sixty session days for the present general assembly, In talking about the matter Saturday he referred to the liberal rates for which communication tickets are sold for l1se between stations in Connecticut in some cases as low as half cent a mile. and expressed the opinion that the form in which his resolution has been put will allow of reaching some satisfactory solution of the vexins

 Wires Going Underground.
 A cable and all of the separate wires of the Southern New England Tele- phone company now carried on the pole line through Main street are to be taken down as soon as the under ground cable and it's connections are in working order. This means also all the cross wires running from the pole lines to telephone stations in build ings along the street. This change will make a big Improvement. as it will clear away a greater part of the network of wires that now gives the street something of the appearance of a wire service terminal In due time it is probable that the wires of other companies on the pole line will be put underground, which change would permit removing tbs poles and give. the street clean cut appearance.

Reviewed Years Work,

Tales of the Day was the theme of Rev. ". $. Boards morning sermon at the Congregational church Sunday. He took this occasion to give the pas tors review of the church work the past year. He likened the church to a great joint stock corporation for ser vice. His pastoral ministrations num- bered 150 addresses, officiating at 15 weddings Is baptisfns. 24 funerals. The church, he said, had been free from debt for three years. Its benevo1ences, including ecclesiastical expenses ag- gregated s6000 with Ss0s of that amount being contributed to mission enterprises. The large mission of the church in making itself felt as a vital factor in the community life and adapting the Christian spirit to pres ent-day needs and problems was em phasized and the achievements of the church for the past year augur great things for the city. The work of the various societies. the hospitable at mosphere of the church and a word of appreciation for the kindness of the people to the pastor were given fitting reference. Rev. MT. Beard urged the need of a parish house to meet the so- eial and educational opportunities. without infringing at all on the ath- letic facilities afforded by the Y. NJ. c. A in it's new building. He urged his hearers to magnify their oppor- tunities for service in this age of the microscope.
