The meeting was in an uproar and the moderator re- stored order.
 What interest in the bill has MT Erwin?," someone asked. "Who wanted the bill presented?" was the next question. The next few minutes was spent in trying to find out whc was responsible for the presentation and when the argument was ended | they knew as much about 1t as they did before.
 MT. Martin charged that, inasmuch as Corporation Counsel John II. kirkham had drawn the bill which was discussed last night, he and George w. ISlett of New Britain were responsible for the whole thing. He said those men must have vital interests there.
 The moderator explained that the proposition, no matter how the town voted, was not binding. He said that the decision of the meet ing would only show whether or not Newington would consider selling the piece of property. He pointed out that after the hearing and ac. ton Is taken by the legislature, the proposition will have to be formally voted upon in a Newington town meeting and at a meeting of the city meeting board of New Britain

Hall Opposes Annexation
Especial to the Herald.)

Npptelui to lEs I1efdlu.b
 Hartford, Feb. 25.-Senator Ed ward F. Hall of New Britain said this morning that there was no con- promise so far in the Newington an- nexation project that he was in favor of.
 The small parcel to be annexed to New Britain for $5O,O0O or free tui- tion to High school pupils for .10 years. would not be worth the price in either case, he feels.
 'The case of free tuition is abso- lutely out of the question as I see it," said Senator Hall. For instance, there are now 63 pupils attending High school from the town of New ington. The average cost in New Bri- tain High school is $177.43 per pupil per year. The cost to our city would be $11,151 a year. Over the 10 year period the cost would be over s111,- 900, besides hastening the building of new high school, which would probably cost more than $500,0O0. 'The $50,000 outright selling is the cheaper plan, but that would not be feasible. If we issue bonds for the purchase we will have to enter into a financial Transaction which would cost about s4,0Oo yearly. and the present tax to be derived from that parcel of land would not exceed $1,500 year.
 "Of course it is argued that build ing would be at once started in this section, but the money should be in sight before we act"
 When asked what he thought was a fair purchase price, Senator Hall said it was not for him to place a | figure.
 At the hearing this afternoon on the proposed sale of land by New ington to New Britain, Corporation Counsel J. H. Kirkham, acting for the town of Ncwington, submitted a substitute bill which would provide alternate compensation giving free | tuition to high school for blank | sNu'' oi O oulli Ol lluIty IOI lllt land. This would have to be agreed to by the city meeting in New Britain and the town meeting in Newington. In the substitute is also the proviso that there will be nc sewage disposal by New Britain or that land and it also gives both towns one year 10 decide. At the hearing were County Commissioner Edwin w. Schultz. John Billston of Seymour Park, William Rossberg, J J. Higgins, Harry Erwin of Moving ton. Patrick Martin of Newington Town Clerk Francis of Newington and First Selectman Gilbert of New, ington. It was brought out at the hearing that the main point was. tc eliminate this land as dumping ayea.

''As the west can absorb twice the output of the plants of that region, it is not so surprising that bookings, as for example, bars. are in excess of three months out put, but that the east can maintain it's pace when it is making two and half times as much steel is in- direct evidence of the steady flow of specifications on contracts" For the fourth successive week. the Iron Age composite prices are unchanged, pig iron being $22.50 ,per ton and finished steel 2.54C cents per pound.
