COMING ASSEMBLY
 MAY EXTEND TIME
Three Day Signature Limit
 Slated for Abolition

New Haven, Dcc. &t LPt-The con- 1 ing session Of the general assembly will be asked in all probability to propose d constitutional amendment { through means Of which. if adopted, a governor will be given more than i three days in which to sign bills after the session is finally adjourned. It will also have the recommen- dations of the judicial council of Connecticut to consider and one of these is to change the town and jus
 tice courts 10 district courts. Pos SiDly there will be other matters be-
 fore the assembly which will be dis Cusscd in light of the constitution. Thirty years ago in the 1901 scs-
 sion constitutional reform Was a subject much discussed. The issue finally became that of C changing town representation in the house ot rep rcscntalivcs.
 Gov. George ?. Mclean sent to
 the session q message on constitu-
 loual reform in which he proved q
 defender of the small town and all it's prcrOgdtfNcS. In thlS message lie
 said some things which are regarded
 Ly many as applicable 10 conditions
 hich face the incoming assembly.
 In part he said:
 For more than two centuries the
 fundamental law of Connecticut has
 been the admiration and inspiration cf the representative republics ot the
 world. The general plan of our
 constitution in its protection against
 the wrong kind ot liberty IS, i'll the
 judgment Of many. better than that possessed by any other state ot tn. ] union. We may never fear to rem
 ody a manifest wrong in funda- mental law. If that wrong clearly al
 fects majority Of the people. And
 the minority, however dearly It may cherish the law that causes that wrong should remember that the i very life Of q democracy depends
 upon the patriotic obedience ot al
 to the will Of the majority
