APPROPRIATION BILL ADOPTED BY SENATE M.casurc Carries $13,051,301 to Mest States’ Expsnscs 9.—The general provision for Hartford, April :\A&Um\ bill with a tax on the corporate excess which discussed in the It the its was to have been senate today was nat taken up. the order of wag again made day for Tuesday. The general appropriation hill carrying $13,051,301 to meet the or- expenses of the state for the next two was adopted by the senata without any amendment af- fecting the figures. Senator Barnes called up the bill as it was tabled yesterday aftter Senator Magee, the committee chairman, had explained the items, and he offered an amend- increase the allowance for the Backus hospital at Norwich by $2,000 to make the total $10,000. Senator Barnes claimed that the hos- pital needs the extra $2,00 and that it was the only one to have its es- timate cut down. Senator DMagee replied that the appropriation. was recommended on the basis of beds maintained, and that while this hos- pital needs the extra §2,000 and that estimate this year was based upon th® same conditions as had been applied to other hospitals. Mr. Ma- gee was opposed to the amendment, which he thought would open the way for tinkering with numerous other items. e explained that the committee had spent months upon the bill and it had given proper can- sigeration of every estimate. The | Rackus amendment was lost to 10. dmary years, ment to 11 Middletown Amendment Lost. Senator Alcorn wanted to increase the allowance to the Middletown In- sane hospital §100,000 for a new ward for acute cases as recommended by the humane institutions committee and which recommendation had been tupned down by the committee. Senator Mages replied that he would prefer to hava the ap- propriation for Middletown cut out entirely rather than have it split up. The amendment was lost and the ap- propriation bill was adopted and sent at once to the house. The notable feature of this appro- priation bill is that for the first time in #he state's legislative history, or at least in recent years, all statutory propriations have been included in one general bill. for the appropriations committee report separate bills to provide departmen nd institutional ex- penses and this has meant that a lream of appropriation bills has been Cgnstantly going through the legisla- t , and no member knew what the grand total of the appropriations was, although the chairman of the appro- priations committee usually tried to give the information on the closing day. With a state budget commission and the practice now established of submitting general enue and to pay expenses the legisla- ture of 1915 has adopted a system- atic™ financial policy Holcomb WReappoints Calhoun, Governor Holcomb tod ed John L. Calhoun of Cromwell, and appointed Fayette L. Wright of Pom- iret to be. members of tne state park commission for six years from Sep- tember 1 next. Mr. Wright will take he-place of John O.

Hoyt for iudge at New Haven. It was re- ccted, When the committee on forfeited rights reported to the house a bill to restore rights to Harry Sebastian of Stamford, who served a term in state rison for a crime, Mr, Stoddard of Woodbridge moved to make it the rder of the day for Tuesday. Mr. feord, of Stamford objected, saying hat Sebastian’'s case had been pre- for! discussed, and there was no eed of dela. Sebastian, he sald, is fving an upright life. His petition 18 endorsed by men of standing, who to for reappoint- J110w of his efforts to make good, and | legislature ought to mive him a ping hand. Others spoke in Se- bastian's behalf and a motion to able which took precedence over Mr. 'wdlard's motion was carrted 117 to e Passes BExcide B, The house passed the excise bill re- giring retall liquor deaters to in- fease their bonds from $450 to $750 0 conform with the hign license bill Gopted yesterday.

An incident in the house procecdngs came with the speaker’s reference to a booklet on members’ desks entitled “Bantam the Gild ¥dge Town,” speak- er saying there was no such town, but Mr. Rogers of Bantam should explain how he created a town without con- sent of the legislatur Mr. Rogers responded in a happy vein and re- ferred to the presence of pupils of the Litchfield High school who were seat- ed near him. The Litchfield members | sang the praises of the Litchfield Hiils and presented to view the young folks to whom he referred as the “Flow- er and Music” of Old Litchficld. The pupils amid hearty applause took a position in front of the speaker’s dosk and sang “America."” Sebastian Matter Taken Up, taken up by Mr. restored The Sebastian matter v again -and, over opposition Stoddard, his rights were 118 to 32. The bill amending the automobile law was repassed by the house, when it agreed to the senate amendment which referred to the ‘reasonable muffling” of machines at night, Other matters adopted were those incor- porating the West Cornwall Water company, and amending the charter of the Bridgeport Hydraulic com- pany. ‘berle Report Rejected. The senate took up the claim of Frederick G. Eberle of Hartford for $975 expenses in establishing his title to the judgeship at Hartford. Senator Bree cited instances where the state had paid similar claims together with large counsel fees. Senator Isbell said he saw no reason why the state should pay the bill, as it was purely a Hartford matter and Hartford should pay the claim. Senator Pur- cell said that it really was a state case, as it had been agreeq in the score or more similar cases then pending to make this case a test one for all the others. This view was also held by Senators Barnes and Molloy, The re- however, was rejected, nincteen n. On the bill providing that licenses shall not be forfeited certain technical convictions there was some debate, but the bill wa adopted 16 to 9.
