 DEBATE ON JAIL FARM Hartford, Conn, March 14-(UP)
 Debate broke out in the house today over the proposed Glaston-
 bury jail farm. intended to sup
 plant the present county jail sys
 tenn, which met adverse action in , the senate last week.
 The senate dumped the bill over- board as entailing too much ex-
 pense.
 Several attempts were made dur ing the house discussion to take an immediate roll call vote and dis pose of the measure without re- committing 1t to committee, but
 the motions were shunted aside. The bill came ill on an unfavor-' able committee report. Majority Leader Hickey, characterizing it as "jail ,bilr' and "not a farm bill," declared "it seems to some VI LID thaL LlLC t1hiO Ai1o SOhhC WhOh l we must try to give our time and energy to rehabilitating some of those who are out of jail"
 He said he hoped the bill would not be recommitted "as the. com
 mittee has done all 1t can do with it." 7. Hickey moved the unfavorable
 report be accepted. Minority Leader Thoms argued
 against it, demanding where's lthe money coming from"
 Rep Mccarthy, Ansonia, accused the assembly 'of taking better care of cows that prisoners" referring to favorable action taken last week
 to appropriate $175,O00 for cattle tuberculin tests.
 "The only ones voting against
 the bill," he said. "are the country commissioners who are afraid
 they'll lose their jobs"
 Rep J. Mortimer Bell, Salisbury,
 insisted the state could not afford
 the farm at this time. It was esti-
 mated $200,OO0 would be neces- sary for its institution. He declared it "a fine theory" Rep Dorothy Bartlett, Putnam, declared "I can't see how the splen- did gentlemen of the judiciary
 committee can sleep nights after
 preparing an unfavorable report on this. bill" l...
 Before the farm bill was taken
 up the house rejected bills which would liberalize the transfers of taxes to the suspense book;
 lengthen the time for tax collectors
 to make returns to towns: provide that delinquent taxes be more widely advertised; compel 1isenc- ing of private detectives, auction eers and bill collectors. E The senate, adjournings after a short session. approved appoint
 ment of an advisory council of
 seven to collabofate with the state bank commissioner to protect in- terests of depositors. r5s ! The council would be named by the governor and would serve | without pay. The senate also approved a bill | relieving the mayor of Middletown of the necessity of signing city vouchers, and the authorizing the ] state board of finance and control to pay minor claims after the close
 of the fiscal year without authori- zation' of the assembly.
 It rejected bills which would es- l tablish a state laundry commission i; f license and bond collection agen- l cies; force motorists to. carry lia- ! bility insurance, and extend chattel | mortgages to automobiles.
