ters on the calendar that were act ually ready for action were disposed of without friction, and others were passed temporarily for future action All matters were given more consid- eration than characterized the wor in the earlier days of the session. Tn petition of F. A. Beckwith, and other
 against the location of tubercuos l Ganatorium in the White Beach Hot i property in East Lyme, has resulted | a favorable report from the comm 1 tee on public health and safety,
 the presentation of an act which pr1 vldes: That the purchase by the state tuberculosis commission of the | property known as White Beach ho-
 tel in the town of East Lyme through
 the use Of the appropriation under the
 act passed May 16, 1917, is hereby dis approved and the state tuberculosis
 commission is directed to sell and dis pose Of the same.
 'The sum of $1OO,O0O is appropriated

 The act authorizing the Shore Line Electric Railway company to sell cer- tam rights to the Eastern Connecticut
 Power company. was explained by MT. Talcott, of Vernon, chairman of the
 committee on appropriations. This
 would enable the manufacturing plants in Groton and elsewhere in
 that section of the state to procure
 adequate power. The plant is located in Montville, was erected by the late Morton F. Plant and more than mil- lion dollars had been expended in the construction and equipment of the plant. This is the way out to meet a needed want, and will tend to consoli- date the several power plants of the Shore Line Electric Railway company 7 The company would in no way inter. fere with existing companies now fur , nishing electric light and power in the
 section covered by the railway com ) pany.
 MT. Shirk. of Washington, opposed 3 and went into the history of the Shor
 Line Electric Railway company ant referred to the general increases il = stock since it's formation. He said h
 had made study-of -tlae subject mat d ter. This bill simply makes special I ly chartered company of the Easter1 f Connecticut Power company. which h 1 | considered to be unwise action. Presi 5 dent Perkins had said he would no = take over and operate the Shore Lin
 company as gift, under existing con S ditions. He did not favor one com Q pany dabbling in the stocks of others MT. Shirk offered amendment that tn |, transfer be on a cash basis, and nc e in stocks and bonds.
 S Mir. Talcott considered bonds a 9 equivalent, and as the etsate of Nor ., ton F. Plant owned both comparie , he could see no sense in the amend 5 ment, which was lost.
 The bill was then passed, withou :, further opposition. This bill has bee 'l printed in full iii The Bulletin.
