PROPOSE ANIALGAMATION OF ALL AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMEN

Plans for the amalgamation of all de- partments now doing agricultural work in the state under the direction of an agricultural commission were discussed at the meeting of the legislative committee on the civil administration code at the capitol at Hartford, Tuesday afternoon. Senator Brooks. chairman Of the sen ate committee, outlined the plan, as did Frank r. Morgan, secretary of the spe- cial legislative committee on the civil administration code. Several speakers were heard who expressed various opinions on the measure, but most of them showed themselves to be not thoroughly familiar with the various provisions of it.
 While the bill is still very much in provisional form, the paramount idea
 in it IS to place the department of domestic animals, of agriculture, and of pure food and health, all in one office and under one responsible head. It is possible that other departments | may be added to these already mentioned. | Speaker Brooks suggested, for instance, l that it might be possible to have the ! proposed agricultural department do the work which is done by the sealers of | weights and measures in various towns
 Efficiency and economy would result l from such a plan, it was brought o2t i at the hearing. By having all Of the | departments unGer one head, the wori would be placed on business basis i where it could be conducteds in mucf 1 the same manner in which variou.
 large industrial organizations are con 1 ducted. Despite the fact that an ad 1tional salary would have to be pait 1 t0 the commissioner who had charge of all the work it Was shown the clerica 1 force could be greatly reduced and tn | saving resulting from this as well as fo
 other reasons would keep down expens es.
 It was shown that there was no in
 tention Of throwing any heads in tn
 basket" as the bill provided for tn
 retention of all of the men who at pres
 ent head the various departments. Tn
 one idea at which the committee wa
 aiming. Senator Brooks said, was the we
 fare of all of the individuals who woul
 be affected by such legislation.
