 It is understood that the conference will effect satisfactory action on the bonus bill, at present hopeleSsly en- tangled in parliamentary machinery and that Governor Lake is prepared to make it clear his position on ex-Ser- vice mems legislation immediately af- ter conferring with the Senators.
 Tomorrow's session is an outgrowth of a lengthy conference yesterday be- tween the Governor and Senator Gar lick, w. Parker Seeley and Vincent Heating, representatives of the Amer ican Legion of Bridgeport.
 A bill on the Senate table provides state aid for disabled ex-service men whose inability to provide for them- selves arises out of government ser vice. The measure accidently passed both the House and Senate under a suspension of rules, but was recalled for a. reconsideration only to be fore ed by a, parliamentary tangIe on the Senate table.
 As a. result of tomorrow's confer exclusion of the clause providing that disability is necessary before receiv- ing state aid, and brought before the Senate for action.
 The increase of the state aid fund from $2,500,000 to $5,005,0a9 is another important matter due to be considered at the conference.

 OF APPROPRIATIONS

Application for an injunc- ton to restrain the City of Bridgeport from paying all debts contracted by every board, department of commit tee of the municipal govern ment in excess of appropria- lions for the past year has been filed by ex-Fire Chief Edward Mooney.
 The injunction is aimed to stop pay ments on the total deficits contracted by every department of the city dur ing the fiscal year ending March 31, and is expected to tie up S316,1S4, the aggregate deficiencies for 1920-21. Attorney Thomas M. Cu1linan is bringing the action for MT. Mooney.
 The injunction is asked to stop City Clerk J. Alex Robinson, City Treas urer William J. Garrity, and City Auditor Bernard Heating from pay ing debts contracted in excess of the appropriations for 1920-21.
 Among tne board that, it is report ed, will be specifically named in the papers will be the board of contract
 
 slCners, registrars of voters, depart Tnent of public works, board of char Itles, lamp committee of the common council, and the municipal garage commission
 MT. Mooney, who is a former head Of the city's fire department, asks the injunction as a property owner and taxpayer CT the city.
 While it is claimed that the new injunction has no connection with the ! injunction secured last week by g prominent business men to stop pay ment of a bill of $32,0O0 to the Bridgeport Construction Company, others al1ege it is aimed to stop pay ment on every bill contracted within the past year in excess of appropria- ions.
 Others say it is a return action to retalate last weeks injunction, and a form of protest to the selection of the Bridgeport Construction Company as the one and only object of the tax payers move.
