(Special to The Bulletin.) _ Hartford, Conn., Febi 27.—There was not a very large attendance at the| ‘bearing given Thursday afternocon by jfhe committee on roads, rivers and y to the bill presented by Sena- tor eil of Bridgeport for the re: peal of the act appropriating $1,000, 000 for the development of New Lon- don harbor as a steamship terminal. There was no spocial delegation from | New London in opposition to the re- Deal, as it was given out that there Was' no need of the citizens going to Hartford to tell the committee what had been told and retold at the time ffort was being mads o secare the sppropristion. That Xhere was very little opposition to let the matter stand dust 2s it is was manifested in tho fact that Senator McNeil had only the support of one man in advocating the yepeal, though there were three others Who wanted to be shown. Wilson of Bridgeport. After the reading of the repeal bill > Clerk Haynes, Mr. McNeill took the itlative in the proceedings. He call- upon Representative Wilson ol port. Mr. Wilson said he was Bot in favor of the repeal of the bill until he became better acquainted with the facts, but to an extent he was in- glined to favor something that had been dome if he were convinced that it was right. Had he been a member of the general assembly of 1911 he said he would have probably voted against the Dill on_account of the finances of the state. He.would have been pleased o have had the commiseioners before the hearing committee. If a large sum of the appropriation had been expend- ed and contracts entered into and the state obligated there was nothing to do but to go ahead with the work. He ald not know what had been done and would like that information from the commissioners. If not much mioney had been spent he was in favor of the Tepeal. He said he would vote against the Telut for _he usetts and the state of it we cant pay, to_be benefited 2houd be done by the o e alnt fent, referring especially to 1€ welopment of the harbar. A Matter for Federal Government. Senator F. A, Johnson, chairman of the committee, informed Mr. Wilson that the report of the commission wae. 4n prese and would soon be ready for disiribution. Mr. Johnson asked Mr. ‘Wilson whether he was in favor of the development of the waterways of the statec Mr. Wilson said he did not know the tonditions aL New London, but in Bridgeport he did not think it wise for the state to spend any money for har- bor development, as he considered that & matter for the federal government. Mr. Haynes asked if he did not con- sider New Tondon hatbOF mith it nat- ural advantages the very best in the state, and Mr. Wilson replied that he certainly did. Would Make State Tax Necessary. - Senator Keeney said that while he helieved the original bill had merit he did not think the expense could be met without a state tax. If he were shown that the measure could be carried through witkout a state tax he might not favor the repeal, but at the present time he did not think the state ought to epend the money. Senator McNeill Argues. Senator McNeill then read his Specch, disclaiming any ulterior mo- tive of any personal animosity in in- troducing the measure, and said that the two points he wished to make were that the poor financial condition of the state warranted the Tcpeal of - the measure and that the million doilars if spent would only be the forerunner of many millicns necessary to make New London a. trans-Atlantic eaport. From figures obtained of the state treasurer he said that the state had on hand ¥eb. 1 this vear $2,472,564.95, or $1.815,051.20 less than one year ago, and that $42,664.78 of this is in trust funds not available. Estimate of re- ceipts for the next two vears 1s 38,715, 000, which includes $3,000,000 from the New Haven road, which he believed to be $600,000 more than actual receipts owing to depreciation of the road’s se- curities.. The repeal of the personal tex, oo, he belleved would reduce the revenue. A synopsis of estimate of ex- penditures for the coming two years showed necessity and statutory appro- priations of'$13,130,729, showing at first glance a deficiency of $4,315,729 which Would have to be met. “An Appalling, Startling Condition.” The appropriations committee, he ! eaid, had before them requests for ap- propriations totailng $80,000,000 and he Delieved th- total appropriations would #e close to $20,000,000, Which is an in- crease of $6,865,271 over and above the cstmated expenses for two years and which would show 2 total deficit for the coming years of $21,184,990, “an ap- palling, startling and serious condition confronting the people of Connecti- cut” The figures, sald Senator McNeil], did not include the New London har’ Dor_appropriation. That with, the exception of one year 1907 the state debt had been accruing since 1502, he eaid, and the loss for 1912 was' $4,877,866.28. The necessity of a state tax had been urged by the state treasurer to meet this situation. me for a Protest. Withcut going_extensively into the merits of the New London project, Senator McXelll said he believed it was time for some menm] e gen- eral assemily to arise and protest against the uTes in the state’s name for the benefit of individual com- de- cated, of discussion. ernor is a member. the of no_avail. original bill. speaker. islature. went into, e had been local benefits.

The senator did not answer. Representative Hall Opposed. Representative Hall of Willington sald the subject was not clear to him two years ago and that he did not vote for or against the bill.

Mr. Hall said he may be wrong, but he was un- der the impression that it was an air castle, and there- was no guarantee that the dock would be occupled. He said New London could never com- pete with New York or Boston in the itransatlantic business. the present legislature should right the wrong done two years ago.

Get the dock and the trade will come, is the advice of Mr. Tompkins who has charge of docks i New York and all other experts in that line that have been consulted by the commission. But for the information of the gentle- men he replied there was assurance of steamships coming to New London. There was no question but the dock would be utilized. Chairman Johnson said that in order to satisty the committee he would ask Mr. Mahan if he held any property that was lable to be used in connec- tion with the work,. 3 A Wicked Accusation. Mr. Mahan said he had heard of such vililainous rumors. It is & wicked accusation and, said the mayor, but for the presence of ladies I would say it was as wicked as hell 1 do not own any property that the commission Qesires.

Mr. Whittlesey, of Morris, a member of the legislature of 1911, sald It was his pleasure to vote for the appropria- tion. It was a progressive policy and would prove beneficial to the state. He hoped the committee would make un- favorable report and the bill to repeal be_defeated. Representative Royce of West Mart- ford, said he was mot yet convinced whether it was for the best interests of the state to vote for the repeal or not. He had heard that political in- trigue was at the bottom of the mat- ter, with special reference to the ap- pointment of ~highway commissioner and he would like some light on the question. Mr. Mahan 5aid it was a pleasure to respond to an honest and conscentious legislator. ~ He said the DIl went through solely on its merits and that without the ald of politics of any grade. The report that thers wers outside issues is_absolutely false and there was no dicker or deal with any human being. He said that as a sen. ator he voted for the nominations of the governor and as a layman he tald Macdonald that he sure would have to go as the democrats were in the ascendancy. Other Arguments. Senator Miner spoke briefly in op- position to the bl showing the. oa: wise policy of one legislature undoing the work of another, for there was ne knowing when or where such action would end.

Wash United gton, Feb. 27.—Although the tates troop trains are steadily rolling ’ont'hward‘ converging on Gal- veston, it was made evident today that 440 heart had gone out of ihemove- aent, under the influence of the grow- ing conviction that the provisional government in Mexico is going to be able to maintain itself, which seemed to be the general tenor of the reports to the state department from its con- eular officers in Mexico.

The one would permit the vice president of the United States to sit for the first time in the cabinet coun- cils of the president and the other would find the chief executive fre- quently at the capitol building, physi- cally In closer touch with members of the house and senate. Discussion of the latter innovation came to Mr. Wilson's attention today when a magazine article declared that the president-elect had stated he would spend some hours daily in the used president’s room of the capitol, hitherto only when the pres ed or vetoed the eleventh hour acis of an expiring congress. Talk of the other change in presidential customs was revived when former Governof Marshall of Indiana, vice president- elect, visited Mr. Wiison today at the state house. Legislative policies in- cluding the programme for the extra session party pledges, the personnel of the cabinet and a number of inti- mate details of the coming adminis- tration were discussed, after which the announcement came from both men that they were in hearty accord.
