The judiclary committee is said to be viewing with favor a proposition to abolish the courts of common pleas in the state and the district court of Waterbury and substitute therefor a common pleas circuit court. At present there are common pleas courts in Hartford, New Haven, Fai field and New London counties, Wind- ham, Tolland and Middlesex counties have none. Now the judges of these courts reside in the county where they sit and assume no jurisdiction outside the particular county unless while act- ing as substitute, which is seldom. Under the proposed change a single court of common pleas will be com- posed of seven judges appointed by the general assembly upon nomination by the governor. Their terms shall begin July 1, 1915. Salaries will be $4,500 a year and $500 for expenses, The first Monday in July, this year, and the second Monday in June, each succeeding year, the judges will meet at Hartford, where they will make as- signments for the terms and sessions for the ensuing year. The terms and sessions will be held on the first Tuesday in January, March, May, September and November, in Hartford, New Haven, Waterury and Bridgeport. At New London on the first Tues- day of August and April, and at Nor- wich the first Tuesday of October and February. At Litchfleld the first Tuesday of May and November; at Winsted the first Tuesday of January and Septem- ber; at North Canaan on . the . first Tuesday of February and October; at New Milford on the first Tuesday of March and December. Adjourned sessions may be held at Norwalk or Stamford if the business of the court requires. Clerks and assistant clerks in each of the jurisdictions will remain as at present, with the following - salaries, which will be apportioned among them by the judges: Hartford and Waterbury, $3,500; New Haven, $5,500; New London, $8,000; Litchfield, $2,000; Bridgeport, $6500.

Seventeen prominent Norwich men were enrolled as members of the local council formed Monday evening at an open meeting of the Norwich Boy Scouts in the town hall. The newly formed council will be permanently organized at a meeting to be held in the near future when a scout commis- sloner will be chosen, officers elected and committees appointed. Headed by Tubb's military band some 150 Boy Scouts, including scouts from New London, Groton and Quaker Hill, former in line at Union square about 7.30 o'clock and paraded down Broadway to Main street, east to a pQint beyond Chelsea bank, where they countermarched to Union square and then marched into the town hall. In an automobile in line with the Scouts were His Honor, Mayor Timothy C. Murphy, Leonard O. Smith, the presid- ing officer, and -Scout Commissioner B. L. White, of Waterbury, the speaker of the evening, In the town hall a few minutes after 8 o'clock assembly sounded and at the word of command from Scout- master Benjamin Bruce the Scouts stood at attention and repeated the Scout law. Rev, Herbert J. Wyckoft, scoutmaster of the Second Congrega- tional troop, introduced as the presid- ing officer, Leonard O, Smith, and as Mr. Smith arose to take the chair he was greeted with prolonged applause. Mr. Smith said he was glad indeed to have the honor of presiding at the meeting and also said he was proud of the boys who made such a fine showing on the line of march. Mr. Smith said: that when he was a boy there was no such thing as the Boy Scout organization and that today the movement is known all over the world. Mr. Smith then introduced Mayor Murphy and as the mayor arose from his chair there was a hearty burst of applause. Greetings from Mayor. In his opening words the mayor con- gratulated the boys on their splendid showing and sdid he felt justly proud of them. For the organinzation which the Boy Scouts represent he had noth- ing but praise. In closing he said that the Boy Scout work is something that every boy ought to know for the boys of today will be running the city and government within the next quarter of a century. Scout Commissioner White, Commissioner White was next in- troduced by Mr. Smith and he also was greeted with applause as he took the oor. Commissioner White spoke of the Boy Scout organization as the largest club in the world and he told of the activities of the Boy Scouts in the war zone, where many are assisting the army ambulance corps. Coming nearer home Commissioner White told of a Connecticut Scout who with only two months’ training was able to save the life of a woman who had accident- ally taken poison. The speaker said that although troops may be formed they can go only so far and can go mo farther without ald, and this aid must come from the men. He told of large employers who have adopted a plan of giving pref- erence to Boy Scouts for they know that by this method they will get only picked boys. A city the size of Nor- wich, said Commissioner White, ought to have a council of about 40 men. ‘What is really needed is men who will stand back of the scoutmasters and as- sist them in their work, Enrolled in Council. Four of the Scouts passed mem- bership. cards to the men in the au- dience for signatures and the seven- teen gentlemen who enrolled follow: I C. Benjamin, C. H. Haskell, James I Royce, Henry D.

Continuing the scout exec- utive says: Notwithstanding the rapid development and great extent of Scouting at the present time in this country, we are, after all, reaching but a small percentage of the boys whose interest might be had if ade- quate leadership was provided. Judg- ing from the reports from all parts of the country the present basis upon which we are organized seems to as- sure a greatly increased development during the coming year. From October 1, 1914 to February &5, 1915, 45,330 boys were enrolled, as compared with 538 for the same period of 1913 and 1914; 839 new troops were organized as com- pared with 533 for the same period of 1913-1914. Commissions were granted 4,113 men to serve as scoutmasters and assistants as compared with 2,251 for the same perfod of 1913-1914, It has been the aim of the executive board and its officers during the past year to place more and more respon- sibility upon local councils and in many communities it has been the aim of the councils to place more respon- sibility upon and give increased lati- tud$® to "those actually working with the boys. — e MARRIED POLYC — NAPIERKNOSKA —In__ this city, April 26, 1915, by Rev.
