(Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, April 29.—At length a leg- islative committee has given serious consideration to the measure by which the town of Norwich will be permitted to elect its assessors and school visit- ors evéry two years, as it has voted to do with the rest of its town officers. This weasure went ‘first to the committee on the judiciary, but that committee for some reason didn’t care to handle it and under the plea that it had suffi- cinet matters before it to make it im- possible to get at this for some time, turned it over to the finance commit- tee, which held a hearing on it this afternoon. The judiciary committee has once gone all over the matter, which properly belongs to it, and could have rcported it as well as not, but chose not to. Town Clerk Charles S. Holbrook end Town Attorney Amos A. Brown- { ing appeared to represent the town, | and it was explained to the commit- | tee that the town of Norwich had | started in.to have biennial elections | fcr its officers as well as the city of- ficers and that all that ¥ere left now outside the pale of this change are the assessors and the school visitors. To elect these every year would cost the town of Norwich about $2.000 a year, the same amount, practically, as would be required to have a full town clection. The last legislature passed a law un- der which any town that chodses may elect its town officers biennialy in- stead of annually, and it is under this that Norwich has made the change, The situation as to these two sets of officers is not fully covered by the law, Lowever, and specia] legislation is re- quired. This bill provides that there shall be a board of school visitors, nine in| rumber, who shall be elected biennial- | , three at a time, and for one asses- sor, to be elected on the first Monday in next October, to hold office for six | vears, the assessor elected in 1907 to | hold office unti] 1911 and the one elect- ed in 1908 to hold office until 1911. The finance committee has voted to report favorably on the matter. Salary for Messenger Tilly. | Hon. Gardiner Greene, whose nom- ination for the superior court was sent to the senate today after h¢/ had a conference with Governor Weeks and for Court Messe sald he would accept the offer of this appointment, went upsiairs this aft- ernoon to appear, with Representative Tibbits and Mr. Tilly himself, in fa- vor. of the measure under which the salary Court Messenger Bernard R. Tilly will bg placed at $1,000 in leu of the fees which he now receives. County Commissioner Noyes was also present to favor the bill It was explained that the fees now received didn't total much more than one-third of this amount, but that ad- aitional duties in the care of the new bar library were to be assumed by Mr. Tilly and in the end the county would save money, The committee will re- port the bill favorably. Dr. Donahue for Trustee. Among the measures making ap- pointments to state commissions and | the boards of trustees of various in- stitutions on which hearings were held senate appointments was that appoint. ing Dr. J. J. Donahue of Norwich a trustes of the Connecticut hospital for the insane at Middletown. Favor Civil Service System. The gentlemen who appeared before the judiciary committee today in sup- port of the bill under which the em- ployves and minor officials of all state institutions would be placed under a state civil service system, and which i« backed by the Connecticut Cilvil Service Reform association, were Gen. William A. Aiken and Principal Hen- ry A, Tirrell of the Academy. Will Not Affect Crescent Beach. HllSIllH 0RE o 0 Draperies!
