COUNTY BOARDS
UNDER.FIR AT
STATE CAPITOL
Judge Mathewson Would
Have Them Abolished,
Salary Increases Dis
cussed.
Especial to The Farmer \

Hartford. Feb. 21.-The habits Of
the domestic county commissioner
were widely discussed at the state
capitol yesterday. a.
Judge A. McC. Mathewson of New
Haven appeared before the judiciary
committee with a bill which aims TO
abolish county commissioners and
the naive wording Of the bill led ops
ponents to point out that 1t really
meant what it said when 1t aimed to
abolish county commissioners. ~
Judge Mathewson believes that
county commissioners are unneces-
sary. He believes Y their functions
should be given to state and town off.
GERS. He would have vested in a town
excise board the liquor supervision
now vested in county boards.
Senator Koppelman approved the
bill on principle. Judge r. o. Mum
ger appeared as counsel for the New
Haven county board to oppose the
bill. b
Being at the hearing, he advocated
bills which would raise the salaries
Of county commissioners to $4,000.
These bills were supported by Judge
Mead Of Greenwich, spokesman for
the Fairfield county representatives
and senators who had met a short
time before the hearing. When Judge,
Mead said he spoke for the county
delegation, Representative H. r. Sher-
wood of Westport, a member of the
committee on Judiciary, before whom
the measures were heard, asked him
if it wasn't true that the county meet
ing's endorsement of the proposition
to raise the salaries was by vote Of
eight to seven.
Representative Ivan L. Morehouse
of Stratford appeared to oppose the
raise to $4,000. He said $4,000 would
be fair figure At the county meet
ing he and Representative William M
Foord of Stamford advocated this
figure instead of $4,000.

Automobile Assoc.
Directors Discuss
Motor Legislation

The directors Of the Connecticut
Automobile association met at the
Hotel Taft Saturday to consider the
volume of motor vehicle bills now
pending before the General Assembly.
It is announced that they stand
for the Macdonald bill which Gre
ates the office Of commissioner of
motor vehicles, a deputy and two
examiners, the salaries of these Off
Gals amounting to about $4,000 a
year. In addition to this they ap-
proved the so-called Klett bill for
the dimming of glazing headlights, a
measure which seems bound to come
in some form. The directors disap-
proved bills providing for the suspen-
sion or revocation Of the license Of
any driver who shall operate car
while Intoxicated or under the in
fiuence of any drug. Most of these
bills provide that the license shall be
suspended until the licensing author
ity shall be satisfied of the reforma-
ton or cure Of the operator. The
directors instead decided to ask their
lawyers, Charles Marcy Robinson, to
draft and support as a substitute that
the license of any operator found
intoxicated while operating mo-
tor vehicle shall be suspended for
not less than six months
The directors disapproved the Mar
tin bill which would give a justice Of
the peace or any other magistrate
power to suspend the license of an
operator convicted of reckless driv-
ing or of intoxication. They disap-
proved the Bailey bill, which auto
matically suspends the license for
three months of any driver whose
ear shall strike and seriously injure
any person or animal on a public
highway. Another bill disapproved
is one which provides i'm one section
that the drivers of all motor We
hicles must come to a full stop be-
fore crossing a railroad track at
grade and, in another that all cross
ings shall be posted by the setectmen.
Finally the jitney bills. were con-
sidered and the directors opposed all
of these which endeavor to regulate
the matter by a. state law Instead
they will favor a bill which will per
init all towns having a population Of
10000 or over to handle the situa-
ton by local ordinances.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-02-21
EXPECT 10000
CENSUS RECORDS
WITHIN A WEEK
Up to Last Night 10,547 Re.
turns Had Been Made to
Hartford Headquarters.

The military census returns of TO-
SAT citizens of Connecticut, out of an
estimated total of 100000, had been
received at the state headquarters in
Hartford up to last night, exactly one
week after the first efforts of the
census takers in some of the towns
were made. There are, however,
thousands Of blanks, all filled out and
ready for forwarding to the state
headquarters, which have not yet
been sent from the selectmen's offices
in the towns or the mayors offices in
the cities. 1t is probable that, the
total number of citizens whose en-
rollments have been taken to date
reaches at least three times that num-
Der.
Each completed blank receives a
serial number as soon as it is received
at the state headquarters in Hartford,
and the, total of 10,547 is the number
on the last census blank received at
the headquarters Monday night, ac-
cording to information given out by
Joseph Alsop, who is in charge of
headquarters as a member of the
special committee of assistants to the
governor for the military census.
The mechanical difficulties of print
ing made it impossible to get the
blanks to all the towns as soon as they
were needed. Therefore. there were
some delays in many of the towns in
getting started. It is believed at the
state headquarters that the present
week will show greater total by
many thousand than the total shown
by last weeks figures.
The returns are being tabulated at
the state headquarters as fast as they
are received, so that, within a very
few days after the last census blanks
reach Hartford, the entire result of
Connecticut's great preparedness CEN
sus will be in the hands of Gov. Mar
Gus H. Holcomb.
No man need be afraid to give the
information which will be asked by
the census takers who are assisting
Gov Marcus H. Holcomb in his con-
necticut military census. Thousands
of these men are at work all over the
state doing their part without thought
of compensation in order that Con-
necticut may know without a mo-
ment'S delay, if she ever has to, her
exact resources in men and materials.
The census blanks are being for
warded by the towns to the state
headquarters in Hartford. and there
they will be put into code, so that no
person other than an official from the
governors Office can learn the infor-
matidp contained on the card which
represents any particular citizen. All
the information will be preserved by
a system of holes punched in the
cards which will be handled by spec
ial machinery designed for handling
these cards at high rate of speed.
