Throwing trash, litter, weeds.

or alley does not improve the ap-

indicates disregard of the fitness

TO 76. Mr.. Phelps of Fair Haven was
opposed to the bill on the grounds
that it would raise the percentage of
divorce in the state and that it was
discriminating as it made no provis-

bin and not only hoped it would pass
but wished it might be returned to the
senate with proposal of amendment
making one year S habitual drunken
ness sufficient cause instead of three
years.
Mr.. Atwell of Brandon thought the
present provisions for divorce on
grounds Of intolerable severity were
sufficient and disagreed with members
of the judiciary committee reporting
the bill that there was necessity for
injury by physical violence to be
shown in order to get divorce on such
grounds. Mr.. Fairchild of Fairfield
supported the bill and thought Mr.

unjust.

Stone of Woodford wanted to amend
| the bill by striking out the provision
which prohibits the display of number
| plates of more than one state at a
time as he thought this provision
would be inconvenient to AUTOMOBILE
lists residing on state borders, but he
afterwards withdrew his amendment.
