Senate Action Coming

Senate Action Coming
 Action by the Senate will be taken next week on the measure providing special appropriations due to ex- penses of the Waterbury conspiracy trial. An amendment to the bill was introduced early in the session by Rep. Harold Mitchell of West Hart ford, Assistant States Attorney of Hartford County who is aiding in the prosecution of the Waterbury trial. This provides that expenses of state courts shall not be consid- cred as within the total appropria- ton of the governors contingency fund.
 The original bill as amended was passed yesterday in the House. The amendment makes the bill effective immediately upon passage. It was learned today that Finance Commissioner Edward F. Hall has reported there are extra court ex- penses coming up, presumably most of them from the Waterbury trial.
 The bill was adopted from the cal- endar, as amended in the House Favorable action by the Senate is anticipated.
 Not Familiar
 At his regular press conference this morning Governor Raymond E, Baldwin stated that he was not familiar with the terms of House Bill 67 prohibiting members of the General Assembly receiving appoint ments as States Attorneys, Assistant States Attorneys or prosecutors, The question was asked of the governor after he had predicted favorable ac- ton by the Legislature on House Bill 9, the so-called dual job hold ing bill. This bill would prevent any member of the Assembly receiving an appointment from the governor or Assembly itself to any state or county executive, administrative or judicial post. This bill was intro- duced by Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr of Suffield, House majority leader
 House Bill 67 was introduced by Rep. Edwin o. Smith of Mansfield and would make Rep. Alcorn, Jr. now active in prosecution of the Waterbury conspiracy trial, ineligi- ble for reappointment to his post as Assistant States Attorney for Hart ford County. It also would affect the status of Rep. Harold Mitchell of West Hartford, acting, too, as an Assistant States Attorney in prose- cution of the Waterbury trial. ! To Raise Bill
 Senator George T. Culhane .o1 Waterbury today stated that he planned to file bill next Tuesday which calls upon the Secretary oi State to supply @ list of lobbyists and the firms, groups or individuals for whom they are lobbying with each member of the General As- semly.
 Under the lobbying act of 193' | every lobbyist must register his name with the Secretary of Statt at the beginning of the legislative session. The individual must also designate the legislation for whicf he will speak.
 Also by request Senator Culhant | will file e bill restoring forfeited rights to Joseph Terence Lynch oi New Haven.

and motor r-vehicle-flxed object There were 37 accidents involving property damage.
 Officer Little, in the report, points that all accidents, no matter how minor, are listed by local police. The state and other cities list only accidents which involve damage of $25 or more.
 Following is Supt. Roach's state ment:
 "Waterbury is slowly but surely solving the traffic accident. The steady monthly decrease has proven that something could be done about the situation which was making Waterbury the "unsafest" city in Connecticut.
 Situation Reversed
 "Today through the cooperation of the motorist and pedestrian and the scientific approach to the traf- fic problem Waterbury has reversed this situation and is now regarded as the criterion of "safe" cities in the state.
 "The cooperation of the driving and walking public is an absolute necessity to complete any safety program. The police cannot fulfill their prime duty which is the pro- lection of life, limb and property without this cooperation. The peo- ple in Waterbury are to be com plemented for the interest they have shown and the help they have given the police department in their work of making Waterbury a safer city in which to live.
 "We have enjoyed 12s days with out fatality; let us work together to extend this traffic deathless period to the end of 1889 so that this year will be the safest year ever enjoyed in the history of Wa terbury. You may ask how this can be done with the thought in mind of human frailties and the heavi- ness of traffic today. It san be done and here is how.
 "When driving; do so at a req sonable rate of speed; have your car under the proper control at all times.
 Drive courteously: have respect for the other fellows right on the highway. Be as courteous on the road as you would in your own home.
 "When walking: observe the traf- fic lights, cross with the lights and not against them. Observe the sig nals of officers stationed at cross walks for your protection.
 Don't Jay-Walk
 Don't jay-walk. Don't come from behind parked cars into the path of moving traffic.
 You may state that you are sick of reading these same "old brom- ides' of safety but it is only through the constant repetition of these simple rules that you are made to realize that their is something to them for your own personal safety.
 Keep these simple safety rules in mind and by doing so you will give the police the cooperation that is so needed to give you the neces- sary protection and to make Water bury a safer city for all.

WARNINGS
Fire M a r s h al Lahey Comments on Unau- thorized Use of Cas-
 oline Torches.

Warnings against two viola tions which constitute fire haz- ards were given today by Fire Marshal Den Lahey. One is against the unauthorized use of gasoline torches by paint CTS, and the other against H. legal dumping of refuse.
 The warning against the use of gasoline torches without permission from the fire de- partment was the result of a fire which the marshal said was caused by the use of a gasoline torch to burn off paint. The blaze was at the home of MT. and Mrs. Joseph PersiO, Long Hill road.
 The other warning is the re- suit of two fires within the past week on property along Plank road in Rockville, where rubbish has been being dumped without authorization. The only authorized dump in the city is located on Fairfield ave- nue. The Rockville location has been the scene of numer- ous fires within the past few weeks, and neighbors have complained of the smoke.
