Continued from Page D The tagging General Assembly be- gan its 12th week with hopes the House banks committee soon would report the savings bank life irsur- ance measure and the judiciary committee the bill creating Q state labor relations board.
 Both committees have been corsid- ering the proposals for weeks, but indications were that reports were imminent. The Senate already has passed the savings bank insurance measure, but the House committee was expected to report a measure different in many details
 Tn connection with this bill, 1t was reported that Connecticut inc surance companies were considering a plan in which banks would be used as outlets for sale of their insurance policies.
 under this plan, mutual savings banks would act as agencies for the insurance companies in the sale of low-cost policies. This, 1t was said, would eliminate the necessity of banks setting up their own insur- arce departments, as required in the measure passed by the Senate.
 Meantime, the states financial ex- perts reported there may be 8 rise In the general fund of $6,000, 900 at the close of the bienniun1 on June 30, l943.
