 Hartford April 2S.-Efort, will now
 be made to reach sine die adjourn
 ment by May IS. The senate so voted
 on Tuesday, and when the resolution
 reached the house on Wednesday it l was passed under suspension of the
 rules. MT. Hyde explained that the
 legal limit of the legislature would be l journment' could be had by May IS. To do this he said there must be CO., operation between the two legisia tive | bodies, an advance in the number of | legislative days, with afternoon and perhaps evening sessions, and by strict 1 devotion to business.
 Revision of Statutes.
 | MT. Hall of Plainfleld, in making l motion to take from the table the act passed on Tuesday providing for the
 revision of the statutes, started a de- | bate which more than counterbalanced
 the silence that prevailed when the act
 was passed. MT. Hall said he must have been asleep when he allowed the bill to pass without protest, and as a
 result he had a bad taste in his mouth this morning, and that the taste
 had affected his head. He believed
 that a bill that carried with it an ap- proprtation of $43,00O should have been
 given more consideration The action 1 taken was wrong and he was ashamed | of himself for not protesting.
 l MT. Hyde of Manchester stated that
 this bill had the same treatment as
 other bills. It had been before the l Judiciary committee and in the files for fully three weeks. It was the | policy of the state to revise the stat | utes every IA years and with twice
 as much work to be done as at the
 last revision the expense is about $26,- | 900 less than in 1892.
 MT. Banks of Torrington said he was
 not a lawyer, but fully realized .-eces- 1 sity for revision of the statutes, so that the average man could get what he was looking after and without great loss of time.
 MT. Bowers of Manchester asked if | there was anything in the act which would prevent an increase in the ex- pense, as there was a material increase paid the revisers over the appropria- ton of 1892. | MT. Hyde of Manchester replied that
 if this bill became law the gentlemen
 who accepted position on the commits l sion would do so with their compensa-
 tion fixed. but nothing that this legis-
 lature could do would prevent any ac- I tion by future legislatures.
 l MT. Thomas of Lebanon asked if l there was truth in the report that the 1 Yale Law school had offered to revise
 the statutes at no cost to the state. MT. Hyde of Manchester said that the committee on appropriations and l judiciary had received no such offer. l MT. Martin of Orange said this pro- posed revision was very important
 matter and should be the work of com petent men and. not be given out for
 the practice of Yale law students. The motion of MT. Hall of Plainfield 1 to take the bill providing for the re-
 vision of the statutes from the table
 was put upon it's. passage and lost. One Days Rest in Seven. l An act was rejected in the house, in amendment to section of the pub
 lie acts of 1911, which provided that, except in cases of emergency, no per- son shall require or permit any em-
 ploye engaged in any commercial oc- cupation, or in the catering industry 1 in hotels, restaurants or lunch rooms, | to do any work of his occupation on Sunday unless such enploye shall be ing day during the six days next en- suing.
 1 School Board Secretary.
 There was taken from the calendar and passed an act providing that any
 board of education, town school com | mittee, board of school, visitors, or 1 board of education in any incorporat- ed school district may elect one mem l Der thereof to be secretary and one
 member to be treasurer of such board or committee, and may prescribe their 1 duties and fix their compensation. 1 Proof of Regulations.
 An act was passed providing that l any order or regulation made by any state official in the performance of his duties may be proved in any court by
 a copy of such order or regulation certified by the person having the legal custody of the same. l Fines and Forfeited Bonds. l There was passed an act which pro- vides that the fines and forfeited l bonds in cases in which evidence has
 been furnished by the state police de-
 partment. before courts having juris- l diction, shall, after the payment of all
 costs, be divided equally between the | state and the towns in which such 1 fines are imposed or such bonds for | feited; and the superintendent of state police shall collect. one-haf of such
 fines and forfeitures and render each
 month an account of the same to the comptroller. ~ Rourdon Babcoek's Bill.
