Cross recommendation of the appointment of Attorney Edward J. Finn of Wa tcrbury as judge Of the court Of common pleas of that district. It was also expected that the g. o.

Larkin, present prosecut- inv attorney of that court. who fa- vors the legislature and not the gov- ernor making the appointments. Att torney Larkin to insure the safety of his position is endeavoring to have an act passed which would make 1t compulsory for the judge and deputy judge of Waterbury's court of com mon pleas to concur in the appoint mont of the prosecuting attorney and clerk.

Mayor Speaks For Racing

Mayor Speaks For Racing
 Hartford March 25.-Most pro- gressive states have legalized horse racing and Connecticut should do so also. Mayor Frank Hayes of Water bury told the, judiciary committee yesterday afternoon at hearing on a measure to allow betting on races He explained that horse racing is popular In Connecticut as shown by the fact that there are always more Connecticut autos at the Yonkers track than there are New York cars The benefits from horse racing would be great, he explained. Maryland last year received in taxes from rac- ing the sum of $663,000, Mayor Hayes said, and Connecticut would stand chance of receiving much more with a track situated near the New York state line. Rental for pasturage would cause a land boom, also, he said. and employment would be given to great many if the horse racing is legalized. Ex-Alder- man A. I. Cooney, Senator Joseph H. Lawlor. Representative D. J. Ma nancy and others appeared for the measure. The State Christian En- deavor society opposed the bill.
