Norwich bulletin., 1913-05-22


 per of many legislators was sorely tried today in the long all day ses- sion of both branches in which the most controversial measures were forced to the front by the eXigencies incident to the approach of final ad- i1urnmenJ day.
 In the senate it was a day of give and take in debate and more or less involved parliamentary tangle at times. In the end the armory ap- propTiatiOn bill was passed as it was reported from the appropriations com mittee with the amendment for an ap- rropriation of 900 for the Manches- ter armOry, making the total of the bill S45I.000 for armories or aTmory sites in Waterbury, New Haven Bristol, Manchester and West Hartford. Re- consideration of the bill was refused which sends the measure to the house where a similar fight is anticipated, predicated upon the battle in the up per branch.
 s5,000ooo Bond Issue on Docket.
 At adjournment the good roads bill for a S5,000, 900 bond issue for per manent highways was under a sharp lire by it's opponents and this will be taken up first thing in the morning.
 Those against these propositions predict that Governor Baldwin will veto both. the claim being based upon his known opinion that the legislature should give consideration to the finan- cial condition of the state and keep down expenditures.

 Opposed Blanket Bill.
 The debate over the arnaory bin in the senate was the most energetic yet indulged in. Senator 1IcDOnOugh l fought for the principle of having each arnOry proposition stand on its own merits, denOuncing the blanket bill as a pork barTel' bill and charging re- peatedlv that there was a 'frameup'' Of senators to get it through. that senators who wanted armOrieS had combined to get the appropriations for Bristol. Manchester and West Hart ford through by having them tackled l 10 the bill for an aImory at Waterbury to cost $1I5,000 and the amount for the New Haven site which, it was charged hy Mir. McDonOugh, were the original selections of the military committee. 1
