GOVERNOR IS ILL

Hartford, March 27.-Owing to the illness to-day of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross the special committee of four senators selected at conference yes- terday of democrat members of the senate were unable to adjust the diff faculties that have arisen in connec- tion with the appointment of Sena- tors John Lynch and Ward P. filling to the sidewalk commission. Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, whose efforts for the past four years resulted in the governor being authorized to name a commission to study the need of designated sidewalks for pedestrians on state highways, remarked to-day, That no secretary, executive or otherwise had the authority to name commission. The precise power was invested in the governor. Either he should rescind the actions of his sec- retary or name three democrats to it."
 Lynch and filling are two repub- licans, with the former being re- garded as hostile to the measure. Senator Lawlor's wishes in the per- sonnel have to date been ignored.

 proposed charter, Senator Reed, a republican, stated: My feelings at radical change should be attempted in the city's form of government. The proposition is one that should be seriously considered and when the time comes for any change should be submitted to the voters of Wa terbury and not to the state legisla- ture. As the revised charter em- bodies many changes that the char ter commission favors, I think it will be adequate to meet the situa- tion. A fair trial should be granted to it and no new plan adopted until fair test has been made"
 Senator Lawlor: '1n my honest opinion l think the people of Water bury are well satisfied with the present chief executive. As a busi- ness man of many years of varied experiences, he is well qualified for the office. He has conducted the af- fairs of the city in business like way, not along theortical, but prac- tical lines that have met with suc- cess. do not believe it to be a wise move to offer any substitute for the present system of govern ment. I feel sure that the people will appreciate and will be well pleased with the changes that the proposed charter contains.
 Representative Thoms: "I see no reason for any change at this parti- cular time. It is difficult or impos- sible to take city government out of politics. l think that the show ing Mayor Hayes has made since taking office is proof enough that with new charter even a better demonstration will be given of the efficiency of the present form of government"
 Representative Mahaney: Mayor Hayes actions in paying off $2,000,- 900 of the city indebtedness since taking office is excellent proof of his qualifications and of the possibilities of the present form of government. I do not believe that city manager system would accomplish half of the many things it's advocates would have one to believe. Mayor Hayes plans as outlined in the proposed charter would give the city an even better form of government under his SlIDeryiSiOn

MICHIGAN SOON WILL
HAVE NO TOWN ROADS

Township roads will be thing of
the past in Michigan in 1886, under
the terms of recently enacted bill.
The new law requires each county
board to take over 20 per cent of the
town roads in the county on or before
April 1, 1882, and a like amount each
succeeding year until all the town
roads are taken over by the county.
In selecting roads to be taken over
each year, preference must be given
to roads carrying the most traffic, and
those used as mail routes, and they
must connect with existing county
roads, state trunk highways, or city or
the improvement and maintenance of
the roads taken over, in proportion
to the traffic they carry, and detailed
provisions are made for financing.
Under this act, within five years
all of the township roads, approx
mately $4,000 miles, will be included
in the county road systems, which will
eliminate haphazard rural road repair
and improvement" says Michigan
Roads. ''Inasmuch as this road i'm
provement will be coordinated and
eliminate the smaller township unit,
it is conceded that greater efficiency,
better engineering organization and
business management will accomplish
much more with given amount of
money than has been or would be pos
sible under the existing township
highway system. 1t is worthy of men,
ton, however, that in many townships
in the various counties a pronounced
efficiency in road improvement has
been apparent, but this is not the
rule"
