Objects to Bituminous
 For Police Dent. Use

Dissatisfaction with soft coal was expressed at meeting of the coal purchasing committee of the com- mon council last night. Chief of Police William c. Hart expressing a preference for anthracite and oues- tioning whether soft coal for city use had proved cheaper in the long run. The chief declared more coal had been burned and damage to property and unpleasantness prob ably offset the lower price
 For the school system. Supt. Stan ley H. Holmes declared no objec- ton to bituminous provided a good grade of coal Is procured, but he found that there is not a uniformity of quality and hence the danger of dissatisfaction. Chief w. J. Noble of the fire department and Secre- tary William c. Dunn of the city hall commission told of the re- cuirements for the buildings over which they have jurisdiction.

measure. - First. there is not time to discuss adequately all the sweep ing departures from our form of government contained in this bill. This is due to the determination of some prominent members of this legislature who insist on adjourning whether our work is done or not.
 Should Go To Convention
 "The bill as proposed constitutes a radical departure from the historic Connecticut form of government to which we owe all our prosperity. It should rightly be submitted to a constitutional convention as it abso- lutely delegates all the powers vest cd by our constitution in the people themselves in small group.
 This group. in turn. delegates the power to an executive committee of five who in turn depend upon one salaried official to form their opin- ions.
 T object to the wiping out of the board of finance and the right of ap- peal. I object to the wiping out of Il0 oh otot0 And last. object to the whole thing except to the opportunity to check and audit all expenditures so that we can have an independent and de- pendable balance sheet to show how we have spent the peoples money in the service of the people.

 Insurance Tax Rejected
 State Capitol. Hartford, May P) The bill returning to ten mills the tax on insurance companies stocks as it was prior to 1925 was /, rejected by the house today on an unfavorable report of the finance committee after nearly two hours debate.
 The bill was explained by Chair man Lavery of the committee. MT. Alcorn of Suffield said fail- ure on his part to oppose the com. mittee would be breach of trust. He knew. he said. tremendous forces were at work and the towns were handicapped in combating the great influences which are at work.
 Alcorn's Opposition Towns were entitled to depend upon the fairness and sportsman ship of house members. to defeat the committee report, he said. He reviewed the history of the tax. He was amazed. he said. that no voice | was raised in Hartford to whic1,

the tax meant $2.ooo.o0o a year. Towns had been schooled for 7s years to depend on this tax now being swept from under them and every time the stock tax went down. the property tax went up and hit the small property owner.
 The tax was not on the com- panies but on .ne stockholders, he said. asking that the house not mislead on this. Insurance compan- ies had prospered and covered Hartford with new buildings under the old law. The threat of the companies to move was a vain one, he said. for while New York had lower stock tax it had a state income tax and Connecticut. if 1t continued on the 1925 law. was go- ing directly toward a state income tax.
 Seek to Avoid Tax
 The ultimate object was no tax at all, he said. predicting that later bills would seek to lower the tax under four mills. He asked thal the house permit the towns and companies to share the burden until the burden of the tax could be fairly worked out. The proponents of the bill were not asking any thing speculative, he said. but merely that the man who had money to invest in insurance stocks rather than the small property owner be made to pay.
 MT. Alcorn was applauded after concluding his 20 minute speech.
 MT. Fuller of Simsbury opposed the committees report, saying the stock tax was the only state levy on this form of intangible wealth. On income tax should have been levied on intangible wealth when the tax was reduced two years ago, he said. The GO per cent reduction in the tax was too great, he said.
 MT. Shattuck of Granby said sta- tistics of the 25 years the tax had been in effect showed its wisdom. Tt is wise and just to reinstate the tax, he said.
 Mir. Huling of West Hartford maintained the tax was on the company and not on the stockhold- CTS.
 MT. Pattison of Simsbury. autho of the bill, said ten mills was no. an excessive tax. Opponents to tn bill at the hearing, he declared, ha been paid representatives of the in surance companies.
 Water Diversion Bill
 Amended to give the board of con- trol and not the governor the power to approve actions of the attorney general in protecting the state water supply, the water diversion bill was adopted by the senate after a short discussion.
 Judges Confirmed
 The executive nominations of Harry J. Beardsley of Waterbury, to be judge of the common pleas for the judicial district of Waterbury, Robert L. Munger of Ansonia to be judge of the court of common pleas for New Haven county; Frederick w. HuXford of Stamford to be judge of the court of common pleas of the Fairfield county court were confirm ed by hte state legislature today.

 Tho bill creating the veterans home commission and establishing certain rights and privileges of vet erans and their families was adopt ed by the senate.
 In the house, Mir. .southwick of Cornwall objected to the bill giving the highway commissioner power to buy land flor the efficient discharge of the duties of his office" because the language was too broad. he said.
 The bill was tabled on motion oi Leader Averill.
 Compensation Bill
 The workmen's compensation bill approved by manufacturers and the Connecticut Federation of Labor, was adopted by the senate.
 It amends the workmen's com pensation law by repeating the amendments of 1919 and 1921 which indirectly covered occupational di- seases, excluding weakened resis- tance" as a basis for claims. The "apportionment" clause which re- duced compensation when 8 disabil- ity was due to preexisting disease is revised.
 The bill also restricts compensa- tion for the loss of one member when it's counterpart has been lost previously to that due for the sec ond member. requires that claims to be valid, must be filed within one year from the date of the accident or first symptoms of the disease in- stead of one year from time Of dis ability. abolishes the extra year fol filing claims hitherto discretionary with the commissioner. makes two years the filing period for death cases broadens the scope of the waiver to cover disabilities due Fir
