Especial to The HoraId).


Hartford, March 3.--Public service
matters occupied the principal posi-
ton In legislative hearings OF the
present week, more particularly hear
ings concerning trolley matters. Some
OF the bills heard were before the
judiciary committee. and others came
up before the railroad committee.
AS has been previously stated, all
Of the proposed public utility legisla-
tion before this session is of demo-
cratic origin, and tho bills are, as
whole, patterned after political plat
forms of the last campaign. and after
political speeches OF the democratic
members, who at that time were run
ming for office.
General Utility Bills
On Tuesday, number of public
service bills drew the attention OF
ca pital visitors and legislators. bills
under discussion before the judiciary
committee. The gas service charge.
election of public utilities commission
and other bills of lesser importance
were heard.
Representative Madigan of STAN
ford attempted to have a roll call vote
on one of these bills when they were
reported unfavorably on Wednesday,
but he failed to get one-fifth of the
membership to sustain him, and the
attempt was unsuccessful. This pro-
cedure undoubtedly indicates that the
numerous bills now pending in the
legislature which affect public service
companies and the public utilities
commission, will get no favorable ac
ton.
Little Interest I'm Lower Fares
The hearing on the one-man car
was scheduled for the senate chamber
on Tuesday, and the attendance was
II. On Wednesday, the railroad COM
mttee held hearing in the hall OF
the house on the five cent fare bills.
