Y N DA HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUAR HOUSE PASSES ISBELL VI SERVICE BIL Yorc Stoed 143 to 90---Measure Goes to Gov. Holcomb. Hartford, Feb. 23.—The Isbell bill for a new state civil service law was carried through the house in concur- rence with the senate this afternoon 143 to 90, after s short parlimen- tiry contest. The house refused to reconsider and the bill will now go to the governor. The form of the bill is unchanged from that in which it pawsed the senate.last week. The forecast of the passage of the Isbeil blil wes supported in the early stages of the debate when by a vote of i82 to 50 the house indefinitely post- ronod the Hewes amendment which approximated the Purcell amendment offered in the senate and which was ruled out by Lieutenant Governor Wilson, as not an amendment germane to the biil Ten-Minute Debate. A ten-minute rule on debate of- fered by a democrat, was supported by Mr. Hyvde, the republican leader, with the idea of cxpediting the dis- Pogition of the measure as the New Heaven judgeship resolution was on the calondar to bo disposed of. Mr. Bronson of Waterbury offered & long amendment to the Isbell bill having framed his draft on the pres- ent law and making numerous changes in the phraseology and inserting new Sectfons to meet conditions and ob. Jectfons which it is claimed have de- veloped in the operation and admin- isthation of the present law. Hewes Defends Amendment. ‘When Mr. Hyde had concluded the question came upon the amendment of Mr. Hewes, democrat, of Farm- ington, which in effect would retain the present law, after elimination of several paragraphs and insertion ot one prohibiting political work or ex- e!"ting of political hence by com- missioners or thuc. unler the civil service law. Situation Getting Thick. Mr. Bronson said that the parlia- mentary situation was getting thick. “Nothing thick about the parlia- . mentary situation,” replied the speaker. ‘The only question is upon the adoption of the Hewes amend- ment Schedule E.” ¥ Strong’s Petition Denied. * Many 'committees made reports to the house today as the result of their hearings last week. The petition of | David S. Strong of Chatham for a seat in. the house was denied. Among unfavorable reports were these: On bills to prohibit the pulling of lob- ster pots on Sunday; for a new build- ing for acute cases of insanity at the Connecticut Hospita] for the In- wsane at a cost of $100,000; providing that indigent insane without settle- ment committed to the insane asylum ghall not be a charge on the town from which committment is made; prohibiting the use of the dragnet wigh' a mesh of one and one-half inches along the shores of the Sound. Bills Favorably Reported. Among favorable reports were these: That not more than twelve #sh may be legally taken by a fisher- man from Bantam Lake in any one ay; that no person shall sell, dis- bute or liberate fire balloons of y description in any city or town; petition of the Lyme Electric Pow- r ycompany for charter amendment; ermitting Meriden to / issue street 'highway and water bonds; permit- | ting Waterbury to issue term notes and also bonds for city hall, police and fire station purpose: amending the charter of the Stamford Gas and Blectric company concerning mort- gages and the issuing of bonds, New York is on Fairview Toner of mother John F, visiting his stroet.

Garabed has a son who is the apple of his eye. The son came to New Britain to seek his for- tune and about a year ago he forgot his dear old dad and neglected to write to him. A few weeks ago Chief Rawlings re- ceived a carefully penned letter in some foreign tongue which he could not decipher. Neither could any of the court interpreters so it was con- signed to the waste basket. Today an- other epistle came from across the sea, penned in the same kind of ink, on the same kind of paper but in English script. The letter, as written by the father in Turkey, follows: City of New Bretain, care Police of Direction, 914 Dec. 20, Malgara, Turky Dear Sir:— Now I como to beg from you a ser- vice, I hope you will not refuse it.
