DISSATISFACTION OVER COMMITT EES House Chairmanships Given to Democrats But No Sen- ate Chairmanships For Repub\lmnl—Bill For Three- Headed Highway Commission Presented. . e Hartford, Conn., Jan. 23.—The intro- duction of business for comsideration of the: general assembly in the house went imto a greater extent for the first actual session than customary, was to- day overshadowed by -the interest members took in the announcement of membership on the joint standing committees. Most of the democrats ‘were jubilant over the places accorded them, but there were some democratic senators who did not fare as well as they had expected, and they openly expressed their opinion that the move- ment to_prevent William H. Cadwell of New Britain being chosen as state highway commissioner and the report- ed holding up of the million dollar ap- propriation available for improvement of New London harbor were factors in their relegation to miner places. Representative Hall Dissatisfied. In the house, Representative Hall of Willington, who as a member of the special conference committee on Jjoint rules had won the republicans over to the plan of an equal division of com- mittee places, had asked Speaker Webster - for the chairmanship of the excise committee, had said he had mo second cholce, was dissatisfied with his appointment to the chairmanship of the committee on banks. Four House Chairmanships for Deme- crats. Répresentative Ryce of West Hart- ford revolted against his appointment to the house chairmanship of insurance and informed the speaker that he de- clined to accept the place. There was also some displeasure expressed by re- publicans ever the award of four house chairmanships te democrats Wwhen Senator Landers had not compensated the republicans with a single senate chairmanship. Mr. Landers said af- terwards that he had understood that Mr. Webster would take all the house chairmanships for his own party. The democrats who have first place on house committees are Tracy of Thom- astom on education, Lockwood of Stam- ford on rules, Koppleman of Hartford on sale of lands and Kelley of Vernon on state library. ©Objection to Keeney of Somers. In the senate, Mr. Keeney of Somers was made the republican member of the exclse committee. It was general- ly understood among members that there was objection offered by certain interests against Mr. Keeney being named on that committee. Senator Landers sald that so far as he knew the objection offered was simply that based on the propriety of Senator Keeney serving, as he is a_ commis- sioner of Tolland county, which is de- scribed as a “dry” county, and the objection had been placed before the republicans who had expressed their desire that Mr. Keeney be named. Mr. Yanders sald that he had been called by telephone several times on the matter of thie appointment, but it had not been stated to him that there was any other objection. Progressives Satisfied. The progressive members of the house were given places which appear 14 _be satisfactory to them. When the house adjourned Tuesday there were many predictions that independent republicans ~wauld follow the lead of Colonel Hall, which in effect, except on matters in which party lnes were drawn tightly, would cause the republican majority of two to disappear and give the democrats control. Printing of Manual Held Up. The members will have to depend upon their journals on Tuesday to make certain of their appointments, as the pocket manual which is usually gottem out for information has been temporarily held up at the printer's. This is due, it is understood, to the desire of organized labor to have leg- islative printing divided among other concerns than the one which has usu- ally done the printing and which ree- ognize the union. To Increase City Representation. Of the business introduced in the house there were a large number of familiar measures, such as Mr. Par- dee’s fourteen New Haven tewn bill, which the introducer believes will be a step towards securing greater repre- sentation of cities in the general as- sembly. Heretofore Mr. Pardes has advocated the bill as a citizen; now he has standing as a member of the Beuse. He also proposes a conatitu- tional convention on the basis of one delegate from each town and one dele- ®ate for each 2,600 voters over:the statutory limitation sof 5,000 under which towns are able to get an extra member In the lower body. A revision of the general statutes is aiso pro- posed. The last revision was in 1802. Three-Headed Road Commission. As the nomination of Mr. Cadwell for highway commissioner to succeed, Mr. Macdonald is expected to be sent in shortly by Governor Baldwin, the senators Teceived a_ surprise in the form of a bill for a three-headed com- mission to be made Up of one engineer until some of the democratic senators who are opposing Mr. Cadwell wish to have the commission form of highway ad- ministration under consideration as a means to secure delay on having Mr. Cadwell's pame reported back to the senate after it is sent iy, should it come in for confirmation. Big Volume of Business Expected. The appointment of clerk of bills will probably go to William Blodgett of Winsted, who was senate clerk last ses- sion and is a republican, while the democrats will name someone for en- grossing elerk, carrying out the under. standing which was part of that whic ied to thb republicans according to the democrats an equal division of the committees. The senate passed a resolution for closing the introducing of business on Teb. 14, but the house did not receive this. House members are believed to favor-a nearer date 50 that commit- tees, can get to work. Everyane is looking for a greater volume of busi- ness than ever befo The progres- sive members have something like 30 bills ready to go in which have been prepared under suggestions of the new legislative committee of the party ap- pointed under its party rules. New Armories Wanted. New Haven, Waterbury, Hartford and Branford are already asking for appropriations for armories, and the number of bills affecting New Haven already indicates that that city will demand much attention of the several commiitees. A repeal of the present law governing the manufacture of electricity is proposed, it is understood, in the direction of municipal owner- ship of such plants which it is claimed was prevented by the 1809 statute Committee Assignments. The committee assignments include the following: Sullivan of Bozrah, agriculture. Davenport of Pomfret, appropria- tions, contingent expenses. Rathbun of Groton, appropriations.
