He then moved to reconsider, not tha { he hoped for any change in the vote, but merely for the purpose of preventing it's reconsideration at timo when con. ditions might not have been SD favora- ble.
 The bill then came before the senate where it fell by the way side. although the vote was lost by the very narrow margin of F.
 It was then referred to 2 conference committee consisting of Senator Potter of Deep River, Representative Sherwood of west Hartford and Representative Eid- well ot East Hartford This conIm:zIec ] framed the compromise bill which was subsequently, adopted by both branches
 Text of Compromise Bill.
 The bill 1s adopted is as follows: "Be it cnacted by the senate and house ot representatives in general assembly coEvGned:
 Section 1-No fees or tolls shall be -oliected for foot passage over trunk line { bridges.

toll bridges in Connecticut did not sue cred. yet the compromise through elimi- nation of toll charges for all foot pas sensers and the privilege of securing sub standal rebate through the purchase of blocks of tickets was in itself a consid erablc accomplishment.
 This concession is approved by the frequent users. Those who live in proX- unity to the bridges and have to cross ard recross ..any times during a month and in certain cases. several times daily will be able to cut their toll bridge ex- penscs one-hIlf.
 While this rebate means great deal to the individual, the state is not Q great loser in the transaction. It is es- timated that the loss in revenue to the state by reason of free toll for foot pas Sengers and half rates for comnlut CTS. will not exceed SS.000 to S10,o00 year, whereas the tolls on the three Connec- lieut. bridges. at New London. Saybrook Junction and East Haddam. has amount ed to over s2000o0 annually
 The most insistence for free tolls, nat uraly came from residents near the bridges who are hemmed in to the cast and west and cannot travel far in either of those directions without putting into toll bridge.
 Naturally. tho senators and tho repre- sdntatives from ts.:. districts and towns adjacent to the h! idces strongly favor ] ed elimination of tolls and were the Fstrongcet advocates of the bill intro- 1 duced by Senator Cornelius C. Costello jof the 18th district
 i Senator Costello had the active sup i nort of Representatives Ernest r. Roe ] ITS and Morris B. Payno of New Lon l'on of Representatives Howard \. Fdc- | | ,f | Representative ". TI1erv Allyn of Wa Eterford and Representative Harry T GrieWold of Lyme

 s'asm for free tolls and his infiencn r t'la iN~.slature, he was asked to sponsor
