It isn't a bad sign that the New Haven police have re-discovered the Connecticut law regulating motor vehicles. in respect to it's power for regulating city traffic. The particular feature of their present discovery, it appears, Is that it empowers them to slow down when passing a standing trolley car There are other valuable powers which it gives them. as our past experience has shown. Had 1t been more amply enforced, the whole state over, there would be less ardent demand for it's amendment-New Haven Register.

That is the form of lobbying to which there is objection. and it is this farm of lobbying that the good people of Connecticut want stopped.-New Britain Herald.
