 State Capitol, Hartford. May R The house today concurred with the senate in passing the bill creat- ing a board of control and finance and abolishing the present boards of control and finance and the conn., mission on state institutions. The bill was adopted without audible dissent and was immediately trans mitted to the expressing clerk.
 Mrs. Cook Objects
 Mrs. Cook of New Haven objected to the haste with which the measure was being put through and the lack of qualification set forth in the bill for the "super-man" commissioner While the bill might be the best possible measure. she said, two months. rather than two days, were needed for adequate consideration.
 She offered an amendment strik- ing out all after the enacting clause and providing for a commission of five senators, one from each con- gressional district, eight representa- tives, one from each county, the board of finance and the governor to consider the financial organiza- iton of the state and study the pro- posal to establish a board of con- trol. to report to the 1929 session.
 MT. Peasley objected to the amendment on a point of order that it did not amend but destroyed the bill. Mrs. Cook maintained the dirt road bill and Mr. Peasley re- piled that no point of order had been raised then. Leader Averill said he was responsible for house procedure and he hoped discussion of the a-endnent a would be per- mitted.
 MT. Peasley withdrew his point of order. The speaker ruled the amendment could be considered.
 Averill Not Worried
 House Leader Averill said he did not believe the state was on the way to perdition, and still felt, as he did during the last campaign, that there is no other state like this one. The power under the bill was vested in the commission, not the commissioner.
 He declared that two years from now the state must decide between keeping within it's budget and issu- ing bonds, and the. bill would result in data on the condition of the state. He could see no good result of commission of seventeen spend ing two years deciding whether a board was needed to investigate the situation. He opposed the amend ment.
 MT. Clark of Haddam. and MT. Peasley of Cheshire, also opposed the amendment.
 MT. Sisson of Hebron, opposing any change in the present laws, de- scribed the bill "as child born at a chamber of commerce meeting, clothed in the gorgeous raiment of superfuous verbosity" and changed by committees so its own father could not recognize it.
 Urges Fair Trial
 MT. Weatherhead of Windham, opposing the amendment, urged that a fair trial be given the bill. Minor ity Leader Citron declared he could not oppose any measure that would enable the governor to save $3.000.- 900 year and stop waste and ex- travagance "about which the minor, ity has been hollering for years"
 He said the bill was open to at- tack, being faulty in many respects. The new commission could clean house so well, he declared, that the politicians would ''kick" so all the
 
 would be discarded.
 The amendment was lost by a great majority. Mir. Southwick of Cornwall favored the bill because the governor desired 1t.
 An amendment offered by Miss Cheney of Manchester to provide that no member of the proposed board should have official connec- tion with state-aided institution was lost.
 MT. Wood of New Canaan, as a trustee of the state college, said the college had no fear of a financial investigation and favored the bill.
 The bill was adopted. the debate having lasted an hour.
 Pollution Bill Passed
 The bill prohibiting the disposal of garbage or refuse in any waters in the state or within fifty feet of highwater mark was passed by the senate today after an amendment striking the following from the bill was adopted:
 No person or corporation shall deposit any other refuse or waste material on any land within dis tance of 50 feet of the high water mark of any such waters without a permit from the state water com- missioner"
 This part was opposed by several senators who have manufacturing connections.
 The senate also adopted bills au- thorizing the Grace hospital society and the General hospital society of Connecticut to unite or merge: pro- viding that Bridgeport firemen or ps- licemen retired because of permanent
