Brooks, then as now, the represen- tative of the 30th district. TIn th previous session, the vote in the house | was very close, the represntatives from w London, Middlesex and a part of | New Haven counties voting as a unit i vor of its passage. This year the bill comes in with | the strong support of the finance com- mittee of which the chairman is Sen- ator John H. Trumbull of the fifth district. When the discussion of the bill came up in the senate on Wednes- day, there was no opposition, Senagor | Brooks merely stating that he appre- | ciated the fact that the bill going through and only wished that its pro- ponents could go back a while to the | time when they had to pay tolls on ferries. He appreciated the fact, how- ever, that opposition would be useless and did not even call attention to the fact that the action taken by the pres- ent legislature will cost the state ap- proximately a quarter of a million doilars a year, which will have to be made up by some other form of tax- ation. People pay old taxes as a matter of | course, no matter how inconvenient. New methods of taxation always mect with great opposition. No substitute way of raising this fund to help pay the expenses of the state has been suggested. When the matter comes up in the house for action, the advo- cate of the bill will be Representative E. W. Christ of New Britain, who is| an able speaker and who will have substantial backing from the towns which are principally affected. It is doubtful if any strong movement will be made to defeat the bill and toll | bridges in Connecticut will therefore | be abolished after 2 Highway Commissionership. That there will not be any change | in the method of appointing a high- | way commissioner within two years has practically been settled, The hear- ing on this subject was held on Tues- | day and the talk in the committee since has been along the lines of fol- | raising a commission to thoroughly investigate the highway department and the man- ner in which it can best be run and | report to the next gencral assembly. In the meantime the governor will sppoint a highway commissioner to succeed Charles J. Bennett, who has declined reappointment.

Kent Hubbard bill, €ent it back to the house and the following proposal be- came the law: “No person shall hold office as an appointive member of the state board of finance while such member is by appointment of the governor or the senate a trustee, director, commission- er, or member of the board of man- agers of any state institution receiving aid from the General Assembly."” This was said by its opponents to be for the purpose of putting BE. Kent Manufacturers' association, off the state board of finance Any- one who reads the bill can readily see that Mr, Hubbard, Mr. Wadhams, Mr. Bugbee and any other people who later may become members of the state board of finance, have their option as to whether they remain on the hoard or on boards of institutions which re- ceive state aid if they are appointed by the governor or the senate as a di- cctor or trustee. It was necessary to inject the personal element into this bill in order to have any basis of op- position to it at all and few people will agree that directors of institutions which receive state aid and laxge sums of money appro- priated for institutions from the state also be on the board which makes the recommendations as to the amount of money which they receive, It so happens that one of the insti- | tutions in the state which has re- ceived most substantial aid and which 1 the subject of a great deal of criticism, criticism which increases| instead of decrcases as time goes on, is the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege at Storrs. The state ald for this institution if the amount asked for should be given, would seem to flow into a bottomless pit. Mr. Hubbard is a director of the Connecticut Agri- cultural college, but there is no re; son why he cannot resign from that directorate and remain on the state board of finance to which he was re- appointed for a term of six years by Governor Lake last December.
