ford and Ward T. Alling of New | London.
 The bill creating the sidewalk
 commission was introduced by Sem
 ator Lawlor. It was passed by both
 branches of the legislature. The
 members named to the commission | by Governor Cross are Senator
 Lawlor, chairman; Coroner John J. Phelan of Bridgeport and Senators
 Joseph Cooney of Hartford, Ward T. filling of New, London and John Lynch of West Haven.
 The bill requires that the com
 mission report to the governor. The date for reporting was set at May
 1st. However, the committee has
 found 1t impossible to report on time
 but will file It's finding this week. The recommendations of the com
 mittee will take in the various haz-
 ardous situations existing on state highways in Connecticut. It will be
 suggested that the governor advise the highway commissioner to elim- mate any dangerous places at pres ent, such as narrow bridges and heavily travelled turnpikes, by pro- v;ding walks. It will also be sug- gested that the governor request the highway commissioner to include in
 his specifications for future roads. sidewalks for pedestrians where he fe els that danger will be caused to persons on foot.
 Of course, even if the governor does advise Commissioner Macdon- ald concerning walks for pedestrians on state highways, there is no law to force the commissioner to carry out the advice of the chief exec
 utive. However. it Is felt that survey of the sidewalk commission and recommendations by the gov ernor will have much to do towards alleviating the present dangerous conditions existing In all parts of Connecticut.
 BY GEORGE R. MORRIS, JR. United Press Sum COrrcspOndcnt) Hartford, Conn. May 11-UP)- A dozen controversial issues loOmed to-day as obstacles In the path of early recess of the general assem- bly. Apparently House Majority Lead CT Raymond A. Johnson Is alone In his belief regular sessions will end
 Friday. Other legislators see no pros- pect of adjournament before the middle of next week unless the as-
  day this week.
 Some of the issues regarded by most assemblymen as sure to arouse long discussion are: The compulsory vaccination repeal act which has not yet had senate action; the Fair- field county shore park: old age
 pensions; commission to study the
 state tax system: interest on unpaid
 taxes: state pension system; Dill
 board regulation; prohibition refer- endum: fish and game licence fees; metropolitan district water supply: prevailing wage and Hartford asses sors.
 In addition to these issues. 1t is believed the judiciary committees decisions on common pleas judges
 and the creation of one or more new
 superior court judgeships may
 arouse lengthy controversy. Last week Rep J. Clifford Meaney,

ture OF any Of them. Consequent
ly there was price on the head
of every man at the formal signing
in August, 1776.
John Hancock OF Massachusetts,
famous as the first to sign, had
British army year previously if
he would forsake the colonists' cause.
Tell your majesty" Hancock in

tyranny than fiel marshal for the

When Lewis Morris of New York
was ready to sign, he received dis
concerting news. The British army
lay at the gates of his Long Island
home, but his property would be
spared II he refrained from writing
his name. There are plenty OF
homes" he replied, but only one
country" He paid dearly. He lost
his fortune and his family was
harder. he resigned from Congress
to fight as general under Wash

Thomas Nelson Of Virginia was
wealthy. But he risked all TO sign.
Later he became governor before
the British occupied the state. He
mortgaged all the land that he
owned for $2,000,000 to help drive
out the enemy.
Visiting the firing line, Nelson
noticed that guns had not been
trained on his own home, evidently
the heart of the British defense.

Nelson said. Then he aimed 1t to-
ward his own home, touched it off
and watched the ball pillow through
the mansion. With that example
before them, the Americans soon
drove out the British. Nelson died
penniless.
Richard Stockton of New Jersey
