McGuire for $46,- 461 damages resulting from changes {in the grade of Ridgefield road after [he had begun its construction. Two years ago the claims committee rec- mmended payment of $7,500 and the nate acted favorably, but Gov. Everett Lake vetoed the bill. The senate has spared the present gov- | ernor the embarrassment of a veto by | accepting the report of Senator | Platt's committee on the rejection of | | the claim, the tist church; the sum of $1,000 is left to the trustees of the FKirst Baptist church to be known as the “IPannie C. | Wilcox Damon and Harold \\'Hcox| Damon IFund,” in trust, the income to | go toward the salary of the pastor| of the First Baptnst church. In explanation of the above quests, the following statement made by the testator: The bequests are made to expresg my confidence in the work that is being done by our ministers and to/ emphasize my belief that it is through them that the Christian religion is to be extended and perpetuated.” A bequest of $500 is left to Martha A.
