KILLING OF INSANE
 NOT HALLS VIEWS
Senator Goes on Record as
 Against Such Action
Especial to The Herald.) )

Hartford. Conn. Feb. 16.-Sen;ttor Edward Hall of Now Britain has been misquoted owing to a misunder- standing about his position as to the killing of the hopelessly insane in this state, he told a reporter today. For the past few days he has been swamped with letters. all bearing a humanitarian ring to their contents. The senator happened to be the chairman of the appropriations com mittee which made the trip 70 the state insane asylum at the time soune views were expressed about the exc cutiOn of the hopelessly insane. He expressed his views at that time Cs being against such method, but le seems to be the center of fire for some humana workers.
 Tho Senator's Statement.
 The following statement was made by the senator today in order that there will be no misunderstand nding of the matter:
 Tt has been brought to my atten- tion that certain papers, especially in the Middle West, have intimated that l have expressed myself in favor of the killing of the hopelessly insane. It so happens that l am chairman of the appropriations committee, which gives certain humanitarian workers the idea that I have a vote on such a matter. That is not the case, for such a question. if it did come up. would not be for my committee to decide. In the past few days. many letters have been coming to me, and desire to answer them publicly by saying that I am against the killing of the hopelessly insane. am not a man, and medical arguments could not change my views. In .ny stand I am supported by my CO., workers. Representatives Covert ard of New Britain

PROGRESS MADE ON
 CHARTER CHANGES
Several Propositions Accepted

Considerable hcadway waa ga:red last evening at session of the char ter revision committed when several of tho more important changes ca,ue up for consideration. After q discus sion pro and con on the advisability of increasing sewer assessments from s1.75 to s a front foot. the commit tee voted to recommend an increase to g.
 The appointment of board of construction was favored. That conI- mission would consist of a practical builder. plumber and an electrtcian. and two other members. Building. plumbing and electrical inspectors would be named by the board, and their salaries fixed by the council.
 Favorable action was taken on the recommendation to decrease the Eu- morIcal strength of the council from 30 to Is members. It was necessary for Mayor Curtis to break a tie in deciding the resolution.
 No action was taken on the matter of increasing powers of the city plan ninG commission, and the amendment
 
 item in budgets or salaries without vetoing all. was similarly deferred.
 The committee voted to leave tax districts as they stand at present since tho additional revenue from extend ing the second district would be only about $7,000. A map showing pro- posed extensions was submitted by tho city engineer.
 Informally, the committee dis cussed the advisa bility of doing away with "off-year" elections for the council. The money saving argument was advanced for such action.
 The mayor at the close of the meeting apologized for the tilt with Alderman r. R. Gilpatric which fca- tured last weeks meeting. Mayor Curtis dubbed the alderman a "dunce" for his stand on one of the proposed revisions, causing a verbal clash.

men. We further suggest that you
ask the cooperation of the commander
