liORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDA' MARCH 24, 1915 BAR LIBRARY MONEY STRUCK SNAG New Londoon County Members Adjourned Without Voting Appropriation Asked—Motion Presented for Unfavor- able Report—Will Hear State’s Attorney Hull in Sup- port of Money Wanted. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, March 23.—An adjourned meeting of the New London county members in the legislature was held Tuesday afternoon and was called to order by the county chairman, Sen- ator Whiton of New London. It was supposed that the meeting was for action on the project for which ad- journment was made, the passage of the usual vote empowering the county commissioners to hire monev In an amount not to exceed $5,000 should the occasion arise. Instead, the meet- ing was plainly for the purpose of taking action on the bill now with the judiciary committee which provides that the treasurer of New London county shall pay annually the sum of $1,000, instead of $500 as now, to the treasurer of the New London Bar Li- brary association, for the Norwich and New London libraries, respectively, and an additional appropriation of $3,000 for the completion of state re- ports now in the Norwich library. Meant Annual Appropriation of $2,000. Senator Whiton explained that the bill meant an annual county appro- priation of $2,000 for the law libraries, the $3,000 being a special appropria- tion. He said this was a matter of importance and as there was not a majority of the county delegation pres- ent, suggested that the matter go over for a day so that all might have op- portunity to participate in the action to be taken. The judiciary committee had assigned a hearing on the bill for Wednesday of the present week, He haq doubt as to whether legal action could be taken with only a minority of the county delegation present. Representative Balley of Norwich explained the bill in detail and told what was being done in other counties of the state in support of the law li- brarles, and that New London county should be as liberal as some of the smaller counties. He said the librarles were very much desired by the judges of the courts and that the librarles were a public accommodation as well As the judiciary_committee was to hear the bill on Wednesday it would seem that immediate action was neces- sary, as the committee would be guided by the county action. Representative Tinker of Montville asked if this proposed annual appro- priation of $2,000 was to carry with it also the present appropriation of $1,000. Mr, Bailey said there was no such intent, and Mr. Tinker added: “If you don’t get the $1,000 for each library I suppose the $500 would be accepted.” Judges Making Request. Senator John H. Barnes, of Nor- wich explained that this increase is asked for at the request of the judges of the courts and would complete some of the reports and thus add to their value. Senator B, H, Hewitt of Mystic spoke in advocacy of the bill, after being informed that the money would come from the county and not the ‘state pork barrel” These libraries are open to the public and are a pub- lic accommodation, as well as a real necessity in the disposition of trial cases. Senator Whiton stated that thus far the meeting had been informal, no mo- tion having been made. for considera- tion, and added that it was up to the ‘members present to take action if they so directed, although there was not a majority in attendance. Motion to Report Unfavorably, Representative Taylor of Lebanon said he did not believe the financial condition of the county warranted any such appropriation as proposed and made a motion that the judiciary com- mittee be requested to report the bill unfavorably. Representative Cronin of New Lon- don said that the county had the matter with itself. If the county mem- bers expressed favor for the bill it would be so reported, but if not fa- vored by the county members the ju- diciary committee would make unfa- vorable report which would undeubt- edly carry with it rejection of the bill. He favored the proposed appro- priation. Highways vs. Books. Representative Tinker spoke in op- position, saying he believed it would be good policy to spend more money on_highways and less on books. Senator Whiton said the question was an important one and ought not to be voted upon unless when a ma- jority of the county delegation was present. He favored continuation to Wednesday. Representative Joseph H., Henderson of Norwich did not believe there would be any more members present on Wed- nesday than at the present time and he favored settling the question right then and he had no doubt as to the result of the vote. Adjourned to Hear State’s Attorney. Senator Barnes made a motion, which prevailed, that the meeting ad- journ to 1.30 Wednesday afternoon, in order to give State's Attorney Hull opportunity to be heard, as he would probably be at the capitol to appear later before the judiciary committee in suppert of the bill, MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.

The annual meeting of the Norwich McAll auxiliary was held in the par- lors of the Second Congregational church on Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, It was conducted by the pres- ident, Mrs. Leonard W.

Huntington then spoke upon France as One, noting the way in which France is trying to under- stand the American idea of neutrality in religion as shown in men of ail faiths working together in harmony for the soldiers of France. Mrs, H. J. Wyckoff told what the pastors’ wives are doing while their husbands are in the army. One leads the civil affairs of the village in the war zone, another takes his place in the church, one is chaplain in the local hospital and another keeps school. Miss Sara L, Huntington gave a good resume of Dr. Mott's address given at the last annual meeting of the National association and describ- ing the influence of France. Miss May Gibbs told of the able manner in which a French girl took charge of her local government in one town and provided accommodation for part of the Germar army and later for Brit- ish and French soldiers. Miss Jessie Gifford sang Jesus, and Shall It Ever Be? Miss Louise Fuller accompanied. They also led the several hymns sung during the meeting. Mrs. Bacon re- ferred to the loss of two most loyal and faithful members, Miss Lucy Leavens and Mrs. Thomas J. Wattles. Five delegates were appointed to the national convention in Hartford, May 5th and_6th. Mrs, Bacon referred to the loss of one chaplain among Mc- All workers now in the French army and to the fact that although $22,000 has been sent for relief work for Wo- men and children in_ France more money is still needed. A collection was taken for this work. Host to Norwich Round Table.
