STEVENS PREPARED ID WITHDRAW BILL Discovers Voters Once Rejected
 Biennial Election Project
 WILL NOT PUSH MEASURE
Tabs Drum Corps to Visit New Brit
 ain Tabs to Play In Tourney Fruit Pruning Exhibition Well At
 tended Despite Weather-ltems.

A letter which would indicate the defeat of the proposed biennial elec- tion bill which was introduced by Representative Claude w. Stevens at the state legislature recently, has been received by the Herald from Mir. Stevens. The letter follows:
 My attention was recently called to the fact that the town of Berlin took action on the question of bl- annual elections some six years ago. I asked Town Clerk Arthur Wood ruff to furnish me with copy of the minutes of this meeting which he has done.
 'ln view of the fact that the citi- zens at the above referred to meet ing turned down the proposition. l shall do nothing about the matter unless a special town meeting is called and an affirmative vote is taken. If such a meeting Is not called I shall appear before the leg the bill introduced by me with drawn.
 CLAUDE w. STEVENS "
 A consensus in the town put the being called at a low figure and 1t is probably that the bill will be with drawn.
 The last echo of the battle drifted in today when the opposition to the move stated that check-up of the towns mentioned yesterday In the promoters statement showed that each of the towns mentioned had voted the biennial change in regular assembled town meeting.
 Stevens stated today that he be- leved in the merits of the bill and that he was willing to sign a peti- tion for special town meeting but he still held to his original state ment that he would withdraw the bill if opposition proved sufficiently active.
 The bill. which called for biennial elections, to public offices, was in- troduced unexpectedly by Repve- sentative Stevens several weeks ago. He gave as his reason for the sud- den move the fact that 1t would be included in this years calendar and that he had had no time to announce the intended move before the final date of submitting bills for inclusion in the calendar. Recently opposition arose and today marked the en- trance into the opposition of several prominent republicans, the unfavor- able comment coming from local democrats previously.
 The chief argument Of the opposi- tion was the fact that the town meeting six. years ago had voted down the question and that Repre- sentative Stevens would gain by a survey of town opinion before sub mitting bills which would affect local politics. The representative had considerable following at the beginning of the fight and it was at first believed that the bill would bc adopted with no trouble. It is now generally believed that the promo ters of the bill vii! take no action towards the calling of special
