Assembly Would Curb
 Long-Range Programs
Bill Presented Requiring City Bond Issues to Be Re- deemed Within 20 Years; Good Report on Paintings
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol. Hartford, March 15-A bill requiring all municipal bond issues to be redeemed within, 20 years instead of 40 years as now given by statute was passed by the Senate yesterday afternoon after a favorable report by Senator Mi- chael V. Blansfleld of the finance committee.
 The measure, If approved by the House, would forbid any such long, range financial program as was suggested for Waterbury early this year by Controller Thomas M. Con- lon.
 Waterhury's water and trade school bonds will come within the deadline set by the bill for, though payments on principal are not to start until 1853, the bond will be paid of in full during the next six years, the last payment being made in i959.
 Under the present statutes gov- erning issuance of bonds by cities and bonds, payments on principal must start within two years but the communities have maximum of 40 years to complete payment. Tn the Waterbury bond issue bill, the re- quirement that payments start within two years has been waived.
 A bill providing that the state shall reimburse the Sixty-Five Bank Street Realty Corp. of Waterbury for Q $50 over-payment to the secre- tary of state was passed unanimous ly by the Senate yesterday after noon. The measure will come up for approval in the House on Tues day under suspension of the rules.
 Senator Thomas F. Curtin, chair man of the claims committee, ex- plained thatwhen the firm was taking out incorporation papers it paid a fee of $100, the amount re- quired for @ corporation capitalized at $l00,000. The firm, however, was actually only capitalized for $50,0O0 he said, and only $50 should have been paid.
 Senator Michael V. Blansfield,s s bill calling for the appointment of a special commission to negotiate toward the purchase of the Rex Brasher wild life paintings for the state was approved by the state ad- ministration committee of the Sen- ate and the judiciary committed of the House after Q hearing yes- terday. A a favorable report on the measure will be submitted in both chambers next week.
 Senator Blansfield and William J Pape, Waterbury publisher, were among the principal advocates of the bill at the hearing. The Water bury legislator offered letters from prominent persons in several sec- tons of the country in support of hsi plan. Rep. Joseph Neill. of WatertoWn, who offered duplicate bill in the House, also spoke in favor

 Paid off Loan
 To stay within the legal limit the city paid off 0 temporary loan of $1,250,000 well in advance of the due-date, which fell in June. But at other times during the year similar excessive sums of money makes 1t necessary for the city to place more funds than the law allows in the local banks.
 The limit for city deposit In the Colonial Trust Company is $500 ,000, but has often gone as high as $1 ,500,- 900. The Citizens and Manufactur- CTS National Bank limit for the city is $424, 900 but has been more than $500 900. Tn the Waterbury Nation al Bank the limit of $224,000 has some times reached $275,000, while in the Waterbury Trust Company

The Brasher paintings, represent ing a life's work, were dore in northwestern Connecticut, principal ly near Kent. The Blansfield bill would empower commission to se- cure an option on the paintings, but actual purchase would be subject to approval by the General Assembly and the governor.
 MT. Pape also spoke in favor of & bill establishing state commis- sion to study tax problems, appear ing as a representative of the Con- necticut Federation of Taxpayers associations.

the city deposit has reached $l75,. 900 with the limit being $l52,000.
 Expected Again

Indications are that 1941 will also find the city eperiencing excellent returns. the over-collection of old age assistance taxes by more than $l0,000 to date being a good indica- tion of this. Officials are con- vinced that for mutual protection of the city itself and local banking institutions permission for uepo- sits outside of Waterbury, when ab- solutely necessary, should be per- mitted. It was pointed out, though, that such Repositories would only be used 50 long as funds were well in excess of the limit that local banks could accept.

oNEW YORK, Feb. l.-(R-
Joe Medwick Of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, q bit scornful of the
way the National League batting
race came out last year, is out to
regain the, hitting championship
next season. .i ~. :
Medwick flew in from Florida
with Manager Leo Durocher to
attend the annual banquet of the
New York baseball writers to-
morrow night.
"Sure, / hope to win the bat
ting championship next sum-
mer," he said. That's my ambi-
ton. In fact, that's my ambition
every year. And I'll guarantee
you one thing-if .318 will win
it next year, the title Is mine"
That brought up the scram.
BILE in the senior circuit last
season. Debs CAIRNS of the Pitts
burgh Pirates was recognized
officially as the champion with
an average Of .355, although he
went to bat only $50 times In
1O3 games. Some baseball PEG
pie, including Medwick, thought
the honor should have gone to
Stanley Hack of the Chicago
Cubs who hit .318 for 603 times
At bat in 14o games.
II don't often look into these
books" continued Medwick, who
set q lot of hitting records with
the st. Louis Cardinal before
being traded to the Dodgers last
June, "but take . squirt at this.
I'm 1897, the year ! won the
title, I had to bat .374 to beat
out John Mize. who had 1854. In
1885 and 1896, hit 1853 and

erage in any one Of the previous
