from the cruel world.
AS a result. the poor old girl

they were only too ready to do it

I on the bills'thos in favor and ops posed to the measures were heard and decision was reserved in both instances.
 Under tho Dannenborg bill New Haven would have eight repre- scntatives instead of It's present two. New Haven county as q whole would have go members in- stead of the present 4t. Meriden would hold It's present two mem- bers, Waterbury would have five, and every other town fin tho coun- ty, including Derby and Ansonin, would have one representative each.
 Tho Neal bill affects only four cities in the state--Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Haven. This measure provides that cities with over G0,000 population shall have one representative for every 10000 persons. As under the Dannenberg bill, New Haven would have eight representatives. Waterbury would have four. This ls duo to the fact that under the 1880 census figure of 99,o02 the city falls short by 0s of giving the city Two representatives.
 The Dannenberg bill provides that every town with less than 10,- 900 in population shall have ono member in the house. It also pro- vidcs that towns of n greater popu. lation will be entitled to ono rep. rosentatlve for tho first 10000 in population and one for each sub- scqucnt 10000 persons. New Lon don falls short of tho 30,000 mark by 3G0. Altogether, 22 towns md cities in tho state with moro than 10000 would have but ono repre- sentative in the House instead of their present two. Of tho 1G9 towns in the state, 16S would send but ono member 10 tho lower house while ten cities would send d2 representatives making the total representation 200, Cities like Now London, Derby, Bristol AnsOnin, Danbury, West Haven and West Hartford would be given only representative inasmuch ns tho population of 30,000 is required for two representatives. Naugatuek would also be hit.
 At tho present time 20 cities and towns send two representatives and 60 have but one, West Haven Is part of the orange election dis- trIct and hnS no direct representa- ton in tho House.
 As for Now HnVon county, 1t would lose two representatives the least of any of tho eight counties under the DnnnGnborg bill. Liteh- fold county would loso the great est number, l7, Other decrenseS would be: Hartford county, from a7 to 38; New London, from Fl to 22; Fairfield, from 37 10 32; Wind- hnm, from 24 to ib; MiddlosoX, from 22 to 15; and Holland, from # 10 13, None of tho towns or cities in Windhnm, Middlosex or Holland counties would have more than one representative in the House under tho bill.
 Gains in representation besides New Haven md Waterbury would bo. Bridgeport, 2; Hartford, S; New Britain, 8; Stamford, 3. Tho 2l members nddod to tho House by tho Nenl bill would bo distributed ns follows; Fnirnold county, G.; Hartford county z; New Haven a0IiDtV R.
