 1 Court House Bond Issue,
 The favorable report on the s275,- | 00G bond issue to erect a.1 addition to the court house at Bridgeport by 1 Fairfield county was taken from the 1 table. The argument on the question of exempting bonds, begun on Friday, was resumed, when Senator Wad- hams, chairman of the finance com mittee, opposed exemption as provid ed for in an amendment offered by Sena- tor Comley.
 l . In advocacy of his amendment Sena- 1 tor Comley said that this favor would ] not be in the interests or Fairfield I bounty but in the interests of the state for refusal to exempt would mean that the bonds would not find a favor ' able, market in Connecticut and would I )have to be sold outside so that the ' |state would then derive no income : from the bonds.
 ,i Unfavorable Report Adopted. :, Senator Wadhanls replied that his s |committee had already held a hear r Eng on the exemption of municipal f bonds and that the idea was so d Etrongly opposed that an unfavorable l Zeport was made and it had been 0 m hnt assembly.
 ns E Senator IsbeIl said that it'was most d Unfair to show discrimination in sucE w xemption. The proper thing to do Is m 10 have a settled policy "If we de ire to exempt county bonds, then this ga good time to settle that question: le said, but some lines should be raWn as, on it's face it is entirely rong to tack on exem ptions to cer - ain measures, as it is nothing more
 r less than a favor. We do not ge
 ach exemptions in New Have1 o sunty and why should we not if Fair 'A tld county should receive it.'' | o Senator Magee Surprised ed ! Senator Magee said he was sur a Iised to hear it said that the 'reaso1 a. d1er counties did not get exemp
 tn was because they did not ask fo O. it for he had been voting agains 1e sch exemptions for the past thre D. stsions.
 Senator Cheney said that he woul, . flor a general law covering thes
 eAmptiOns. at Amendment Is Lost. D The amendment exempting tn
 b1ds from taxation was lost 21 to 1 , io tn senator from Fairfield county
