Paonessa Dissatisfied With Haste
 In Passing Bill Validating Laws

the governors should not be blamed, Some of the bills reach them a week after the session is over, he said. The mayor feels it is an in- justice to ask governor to sign bills in three days when many of them require more study He fav- ors having law enacted which would bring about a change so that the governor may have 10 or 15 days to consider. The New Britain charter provides for a 10 day lapse and if the mayor does not sign within that time the matter be- comes a law notwithstanding. The state could do no better than to adopt the New Britain system, Mayor Paonessa declared.

 Bombarded for more than an hour with questions shot out in rapid or der by Attorney Edward A. Mag, who is representing the creditors Of of William H. Allen, individually, President Allen, and Directors Charles A. Bence and George Y. Cheney confined most of their an swers to "I don't remember" or l don't recall,' at a hearing before Referee in Bankruptcy Saul Berman n court yesterday afternoon.
 The meeting was attended by ap- proximately 15 creditors or thelr representatives. Attorney Mortimer Camp represented the Allen com- pany's largest creditor, the New Britain Lumber Co., as we'll as sev- eral others.
 beTIitdIl .iutIOflZtS Atult
 When the hearing was at an end Referee Berman told a Herald rep resentative that he was convinced neither creditors, directors. or Mr. Allen himself. seem 0 have d deti- nite idea what the tangle was about and he felt that nothing could be arrived at until an audit was com- plcted. Referee Berman has given permission to have preliminary audit prepared by Hadield, Soule &. Co., Hartford, at cost of approxi- mately $500. Whether a complete audit will be allowed is matter which he will decide later, Mr. Der man said.
 Although Mir. Cheney whose busi- ness requires him to travel eXten- strely, intended to leave for Pitts hurgh, he remained home to attend the meeting. He answered questions frankly, it appeared to those in at tendance.
 Following the formal hearing con- siderable time was spent among the creditors and Mr. Allen in trying to straighten out the insurance.
 It was decided that more progress could be reached informally on this subject.
 Bence TestifieS
 MT Bence was first called upon to testify To questions Of Attorney Mag he said he lived at 299 Chest nut street and had been connected with the Allen company since it was organized. In answer to another question of the attorney he said he couldn't recall whether he occupied that position since the organizatiQh period. He said meetings were held and that he attended some of them He stated he would make an in- spection of financial statement if he were at the annual meetings and asked if his inspection was thorough he said it was. He voted to declare dividends if it were shown on the books and statements that the com pany had realized a profit he said Were you present at the last an. nual meeting?" Attorney Mag asked '1 don't remember" was Bence's answer. Asked if he was present ut the March or April meetings II 1927 he said he was not sure. Al. though he did not remember being at the April, 1928, meeting he dit remember receiving dividends, hs said.
 Allen Signed Dividend Checks
 If meeting were held and yo, received share you must have known there was a meeting. Yo' were treasurer. Did you sign tn. dividend checks? Don't you know it is contrary to law to have some one other than the treasurer sig, the dividend checks"
 The latter remarks made by At torney Mag was objected to by Al torney Donald Gaffney, but whei Attorney Mag explained his pur pose to Referee Berman it was al
