 The unfavorabe report of the com mttee on railroads which provided that passengers on trolley cars who were not furnished seats be required to pay fare of three cents instead of the regular five cent fare was discuss ed at length. Mir. Koppleman, who in- troduced the bill said he did so at the request of people from all sections of the state. He said the bill was justi- fable as it only required fair treat ment from the street railway compa- nies in providing a reduction in fare when seats are not furnished. Mir. Koppleman said attorneys for the trolley companies had conceded that the service was not adequate to meet the demand at certain hours of the day and that there would be great difficulty in furnishing the service ex- acted by the bill. The people expected the legislature to furnish the remedy. If this bills becomes law, MT. Kopple- man said. the trclley companiesfwould provide adequate service in order to get all the coin within reach.
 MT Wilson of Bridgeport said that he was in sympathy and believed that the liberality of the state in granting trolley franchises should be appreciate ed and proper service be given the people. The report was accepted and the bill rejected by the following vote: Whole number 176, necessary to pre- vail S9. yes 102. no "A.
