Miss Gertrude Miller. county super
Iintendent, has addressed q letter to the
T.-R. asking that the county attorneys
opinion be published to the effect that
the law gives the county superintend-
ent full authority in the purchase of
supplies for his Office and that bills for
same should be paid by the county
auditor upon the approval of the county
superintendent irrespective of the board
of supervisors. Miss Miller argues that
the supervisors have no more juris-
diction over the purchase OF supplies
in her office than they have over the
retaking OF the census. County At
torney SCOTS opinion states that the
law provides that the county auditor
shall draw warrant upon the county
treasurer for the expenses of the county
superintendent's Office when verified by
the county superintendent. He states
that the statute is mandatory. Miss
Miller asks the T.-R. for its opinion

Not Money Enough To
 Hold Another Election
 Say Stamford Selectmen

That the city of Stamford has not enough of it's appropriation left to hold another election is the answer given by the selectmen of that city to Walter Daskam and other citizens who brought Tnandamus proceedings to compel the selectnen to call an other election to name successor to the late William F. Waterbury as town clerk.
 In papers filed today in the su- perior court States Attorney Homer s. Cummings, representing the select men, said, there was an appropria- tion of $4,1O0 for election expenses and all but $165.34 had been spent It would cost -$2, 400 to hold another election and the selectmen cannot law fully call one where there is not suf1- cient money to pay expenses.
 Those who brought the mandamus proceedings are aggrieved because Edmund Ryan was appointed town clerk to succeed Waterbury instead of having an election.

Hartford; May 4-r-An imposing ar ray of corporation lawyers flocked in to the senate chamber today and saw passed without rolI-caH the bill re- peaHng section 3916 of the General Statutes, which restricted the sale of electricity. by private corporations. The passage of the bill, in the same form in which it passed the house last week, followed a prolonged discus sion during which two senate amend ments were voted down
 The bill, passed, allows the sale of electricity by private firms or cor porations under the supervision of the public utilities commission, after a hearing by that body. Sen. Isbell, championed the bill Senators Ma gee, Whiton. Bree and Whitney, were among those who spoke in opposition.
 Among othef- things Sen. Bree said the bill as presented to the Senate, was very fsuspicfous'' and that no hearing had been held on the sub ject matter therein.
 Sem Magee's amendment which greatly restricted the granting of per mission to private firms for selling electricity, was voted down 24 to IT. Sen. O'ConneH voted for the amend ment, and Sen. Bartlett and Comley were against it.
 Another amendment by Sen. Whit on, which struck out from the bill the last paragraph, repeating sectio on 3916 was also defeated. After the bill was passed. without roll call.
 Section 39r6 has at divers times ex- cited the interest of Bridgeport be- cause of opposition to the Iaw<heade by the Howland Dry Goods Company and Samuel Wheeler, owner of the Stratfie1d hotel. In these eases the petitioners desired the right to sell electricity to their tenants and were prevented by the statute.
