RefusaT to accept work offered by relief agencies will mean jail sentences for persons on relief &C., cording to the outcome of a case tried in Hartford city court Sat- urday which attracted statewide attention among administrators who were faced with similar problems. William M. Harris, EZRA and Mutual Aid director, said today that while no case of this type had come up here there was all ways the possibility that one might develop.
 Families of the two Hartford men tried for non-support had been supported by the welfare de- partment of that city for several years. The men refused jobs shoveling snow during a recent storm on the grounds that they should be paid 50 cents an hour, the prevailing wage scale of the EZRA. The welfare department pays 40 cents an hour.
 In imposing sentences of 60 days in jail for each of the men, Judge John B. Bailey declared that there was not enough difference between the wage offered and that demanded to justify refusal to work.
 A somewhat similar case was reported here today. A former resi-

Legislature Grants
 Permission Of Both
 For Refunding Plan
City to Offer S2,2OO,OOO in Bonds Public Works to Benefit By Move-$SOO,OOO of Public Improvement
 Bond to Be Placed on Market Tomorrow

Sale of over million and a quarter dollars in municipal bonds will, it Is expected, be approved tomorrow afternoon at a special meeting of the board of finance and ordered tomorrow evening a; a session of the board of aldermen. Controller Daniel J. Leary stated today that the city has completed it's plans for the sale of the bonds which will be used for refunding purposes and for the carrying on of public works.
 Last week the legislature, under suspension of the rules, approved without delay the city's two bond bills, one calling for the issuance of $1,O00,00O in refunding bonds and $1,2OO,0O0 in street and pub lie improvement bonds. The speed in passing the two bills through the legislature was the result of a special request to the finance com mittee by the local officials.
 Of the $1,0O0,000 in funding bonds, .$500,0O0 will be offered for sale at, ,tomorrow's meetings of the finance commissioners and alder men. Of the $1,2O0,000 in, street and public improvement bonds, $S0O,0O0 Will De place0 on the market tomorrow by the city boards. ..
 The remainder of the two issues will be sold next year, 1886. The bonds to be sold then will be $50O,- 900 in refunding bonds and $4O0,- 900 in street and public improve ment, bonds. The total for this year.. therefore, will be $1,300,00O.
 The $5OO,000 in refunding bonds to be sold this year will be sold to retire interest and retirement expenses on the bonds falling due during 1885. The $800,000 in street and public improvement bonds will be used to buy equipment and supply equipment for the EZRA and city street department work CTS. t .A@,
 The city, is rushing through the sale of the bonds because of the fact that practically all state legis- latures are meeting this year throughout the United States. The market will soon receive. an ava lanche of state and municipal bonds from all parts of the coun- try. Waterbury, by getting in early will beat out the rush, 1t is fig- ured, and obtain favorable pre- rni'lm.
