the bill was made by Senator Joseph P. Cooney on the grounds that the movement would be too radical.
 Had the bill been passed the city. of Waterbury like others in the state, would have suffered the loss of thousands of dollars annually; it is felt. According to the terms of the proposed bill, after collection of the taxes had been made, the state would allocate money back to the cities, towns and burroughs.
 Unanimously today the House passed a bill authorizing the City of Waterbury to issue $250,O0O in water bonds for the establishment of g second pipe line running through the central part of Water town, and connecting Waterbury with Morris. The bill was passed in the senate and the result of the action taken in the Housetoday requires only the signature of the governor to be classified as a law.
 The proposed new pipe line will serve as a suppliment to the line already in use which enters the city by way of Reynolds Bridge. The new line will extend 7l00 feet.
