ADJOURNNENT DATE 70 SET NEW REGORD (Continued from First Page) tuke the place of the proposed pur- chasing agents, but is along the lines recommended by the governor and which it 19 understood will. meet with his approval. f “Red School House Stands The appropriations committee made short ‘work of the cducational bills requiring large sums of money, when on Tuesday It put in unfavorable re- ports in both the senate and the house, In the senate, Senator Rogers sub- mitted unfavorable reports on the so- called “little. red school house bill” which made possible the closing of the small school houses in the vari- ous towns in the state and the trans- portation of children to central school houses in towns and districts, the bill allowing state aid for speclal classes of defectives and the bill providing a large amount of money for adult ed- ucation. Owing to the absence of Senator Bidwell, who is second mem- ber of the education committee, these bills were temporarily tabled, but wére rejected the following day. In the house at the same time, there were unfavorable reports on the bills appropriating $160,000 for adult edu- cation in the English language and Americanization; $150,000 for the transfer of children to and from elementary schools and $80,000 for special classes for defective pupils. Discussing the bills previous to their being tabled, Senator Rogers stated thai all the committees had declared tc the committee on appropriations thac they were willing to recommend auy good projects, and because re- quests which had come to his com- mittee aggregated $62,000,000, while the: income for the state for the next two years was estimated at $31,000,- 000, it: was necessary-for the appro- priations committee to cut down these recuests and put many of them into the discard. The necessity for this dil not increase the popularity of the committee with the other members of the house and committees, but made ATLYCEUM MON.—TUES.—WED. it none the less necossary, New System I8 Used This work on the part of the ap- propriations committeo is the result of the bill passed at the last session of the general assembly requiring all bills carrying a specific appropriation or requiring funds, though the amount might not be specificahy stated, to go to the appropriations committee be- forc final action by the assembly, It pute the legislation of the state on a much more business like basis, even though it may result in various good projects going by the board, some- times without proper hearings. An instance of what might happen under the old system was the passing of the bill four years ago allowing aid to the towns, recommended by the education committee in benalf of the ‘| schools, which had been adversely re- ported by the appropriations commit- tee. This was on one of the last days of the session, The chalrman of the education committee was assisted by Dr, Watson L. Phillips of Shelton, who was one of the ablest men in the legislature in many sessions of the general assembly and enthuslastic for this state aid for the towns. Colonel Robert O, Eaton, who was then chair- man of the appropriations committee, definitely stated that it would be im- possible for the appropriations com- mittee to provide funds for the next two vears for this project. The bill wasg passed through the arguments of Dr. Phillips over the objections of Colonel Eaton. The money was not available, The attorney general stated that it was a moral obligation of the state to provide this money and its proponents came back to the next session of the gencral assembly. That session of the general assembly dif- fered with the attorney general in its view of the moral obligations and the money was not provided. Partly as a result of this, the public act was passed two years ago that provided either specifically or by implication, it is necessary that the project shall 80 to the appropriations committee, Labor Bills Killed Early in the week, the proposition for limiting the hours of labor in fac- tories for women to 50 hours a week was defeated in the senate by the close vote of 16 to 15 and limiting the hours to 48 a week was defeated by 18 to 13, Senators Rogers of New London and Dehre of New Canaan changing their vote when the pro- position for the smaller number of hours came up. The vote was not at all 6n party lines. The democrats, persuaded by ‘the eloquence of Sen- ator Joseph Tone of New Haven, vot- ed together and with them were seven republicans, Doty of Hartford, Bake- well and MacDonald of New Haven, Beisiegel of Woodbridge, Rogers of New London, Behre of New Canaan and Kenealy of Stamford on the 50 hour bill. On the 48 hour bill, the democrats voted together with the above named republicans, except Rogers and Behre. There were four senators who were not present, Bid- well of East Hartford, Trumbull of Plainville, Beers of North Branford and Wilder of Bridgeport. The bills had previously been rejected in the NEW BRITAIN DAIRY HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 381, 1928 falled to accept the reports and reject the bills, they would have fallen bes tween the houses, as the.action of the house of represontatives had been unanimous and there was no chance of their being recalled there, As'a result of the disagreeing action, they would thorefore have been piled in the secretary of state's office, Stamford Man Becomes Excited, Representative Madigan of Stam- | ford injected a little life into the house carly in the week when a Stam- | ford bill providing that the town and city elections in Stamford should be held on the same day in October was rejected, The committee on cities and boroughs reported adversely on this bill and after objectjons by Mr, Madigan, the house voted by 119 to £3 to support the committee, Mr. Madigan then became very bitter aff the action of the house and said tha it a committee reported favorably oy a bill to go to hell, the house with i republican majority, would dccept th report and pass the bill and that h would be In sympathy with such acf- tion, The speaker stated that My, Madigan's remarks were not in ordefr.
