GILSON President General Manager Vice President Manufacture and (Continued from Page One) tricity. Said commission shall, upon receipt of such notice, assign a hear- ing thereon, giving reasonable notice thereof to any such corporation which shall be engaged in the business of supplying electricity for light, heat and power within the territory where the corporation giving such notice pro- poses to sell the same, and to the mu- nicipality wherein such territory is located, and if, after hearing, said com- mission shall find that the proposed ection of the corporation giving such notice will materially impair the pub- lic service or subject the public to any material inconvenience by reason of the erection of additional lines, poles, equipment or fixtures, or by reason of opening the highways or public places for the purpose of laying its wires, cables or conduits, or impair the finan: clal condition of the corporation en- gaged in business therein so that it will be unable to furnish adequate ser- vice to the customers at such time be- ing supplied by it and pay a reason- able dividend upon its investment within the state, thereupon the cor- poration giving such notice shall exer- cise within such territory only such privileges as saild commission shall find to be reasonable, Sec. 4. Any person or corporation aggrieved by any decision of said com- mission may appeal therefrom in ac- cordance with the provisions of chap- ter 128 of the public acts of 1911. Sec. 5. Section 3916 of the general statutes as amended by chapter 254 of the public acts of 1909 is hereby repealed. Amendment Reiected. Mr, Browning’s amendment provid- ing that public necessity and conven- ience be a part of the law was reject- ed. Mr. Shultz of New Britain was opposed to a monopolization of elec- tricity and believed it should be open to to manufacture and use at will, Just the same as coal, as it furnished light and power, and was not in the class with electric roads. Mr. Stoddard said the bill should not pass, as the proposed competition re- ferred only to power and omitted light and heat, and’' while manufacturers could produce power from manufactur- ing plants they were prohibited from furnishing light and heat. In the city of Norwich, where the electric light plant is municipally owned, for in- stance, the style of lamps is even pre- scribed by the statute, and is liable to competition by outside concerns. The bill is_not intended for the public good. Tt is all wrong. Mr, Hall of Willington said this bill is an act of bad faith on the part of the state with the chartered compa- nies of the state which had been guar- anteed state protection. This bill would allow indiscriminate competi- tion. If the bill is to become a law those who want to engage in the elec- tricity business should be compelled to go before the utilities commission and show public convenience and ne- cessity requires the proposed service. The_ bill means competition and con- solidation and the people will have to pay. * Referred to- Power Alone. Mr. Hyde of Manchester stated that the bill which would admit of compe- tition referred to power alone, and had no reference to light and heat. A wholesale concern under this law can sell power only at wholesale to other companies or manufacturers, and can- not compete in the sale of light and heat. Existing companies have redress by appeal to the public utilities com- mission. An individual can compete without going to the commission and he believed wide-open competition would be best for the state. Mr. Hewes of Farmington sald if Bridgeport concerns were not allowed under the present law to extend elec- tric service across a street, it would be well to change the law to that ex- tent. He said this was a “grab” law and was backed by companies who really wanted to monopolize the whole business. He could not see the neces- sity of forcing existing comparies to either buy or sell to competitors. The bill passed, just the same, after amendment authorizing manufacturers to generate their own electric power and the privileges of the law are con- ferred to companies within the state. City .of Shelton. ‘The committee on cities and bor- oughs reported favorably an act to in- corporate the city of Shelton. Tabled for calendar. Judge Pat McMahon. Resolution was adopted appointing Patrick J. McMahon judge of the city court of Waterbury. As the term of the present incumbent expires May 1, the rules were suspended and the reso- lution transmitted to the senate. The resolution reappointing Judge William E. Thoms was rejected. No Game Commission. ‘The committee on fish and game re- ported unfavorably an act providing for the appointment of a commission on fisheries and game. The report was accepted and bill rejected. Voting Machine Commission. ‘The judiciary committee reported favorably an act to establish a board of voting machine commissioners, and another for the collection of money due the state by an assistant to the attorney general at a salary of $1,000, and concerning court messengers. Ta- bled for calendar and printing. The Statutes Revision. Following is the text of the act pro- viding for a commission to revise the general statutes that was taken from the house calendar for action on Tues- day, having been previously passed in the senate: NO STOMACHPAIN, GAS, INDIGESTION INFIVEMINUTES “PAPE’S DIAPEPSIN” IS THE ONLY REAL STOMACH REGU- LATOR KNOWN. “Really does” put bad stomachs in order—"really does” overcome indiges- tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and sourness in five minutes—that—just that—makes Pape's Diapepsin the larg- est seliing stomach regulator in the world. If what you eat ferments into stubborn lumps, you belch gas and eructuate sour, undigested food and acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath foul; togue coated; your insides filled with bile and’ indigestible waste re- member the moment “Pape’s Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. It's truly aston- ishing—almost marvelous, and the joy is'it's harmiless. % A large fifty-cent case of Pape’s Dia- pepsin will give you & hundred dollars’ worth of satisfaction or ‘your druggist hands you your money back. It's worth its weight in gold to men and women who can’t get their stom- achs regulated, - It belongs in your home—should always be kept handy in case of a sick, sour, upset stomach dur- ing the day or at night. It's the guickest, surest and most arml stomach regulator-in -the -world. Sale of Electricity Segtion 1.

Sec. 2. Such commission shall in- clude in the revision such notes and memoranda of the supreme court of errars relating to the construction of the statutes as serve to explain and make clear the text, including also de- cisions of the supreme court of the United States construing such stat- utes. Bec. 3. The commission is author- ized to omit from such revision acts which although public in form are pri- vate in their nature. Sec. 4. The commission shall ap- point a clerk who shall prepare an index to such revision, submit such index to the general assembly at the January session of 1917 with the report of the commission, and perform such duties as may. be required of him by the commission. Sec. 5. The governor is authorized and directed to fill any vacancy that may occur in the commission, and the commission shall fill any vacancy that may occur in the office of clerk. Sec. 6. Each of such commissioners and such clerk shall receive $5,000 as full compensation for his work, and an allowance for necessary expenses not to exceed $1,000, which shall be paid by the state in the manner following: When the revision shall have been completed and the report of the com- mission shall have been submitted to the general assembly at the January session of 1917, each of the commis- sioners may draw an order on the state treasurer for his compensation and expenses, which order shall state spe- cifically the purposes for which the money is required, and when the order shall be countersigned by the comp- troller it shall be paid by the state treasurer; and when the index shall have been completed and submitted to said general assembly, the clerk of such commission shall be paid by the state treasurer in the same manner as provided herein for the payment of the commissioners. Sec. 7. This act shall take effect from its passage. g Mr. Eaton of North Haven advo- cated the passage of the act, as there ‘was necessity for it in the interest of the public, as there had been no re- vision for 14 years. The act was passed without opposition. Public Water Supply, The public act concerning the taxa- tion of property in connection with any public water supply was amended in the house to read as follows: Land and buildings with their appurtenances, including dams, pumping stations, ma- chinery, or other equipment owned or taken by any person, firm, corporation, or municipal corporation for the pur- pose of creating or furnishing a sup- ply of water, shall be assessed in the town in which such property is situat- ed to the person, firm, or corporation owning or controlling the same. The rule of valuation of land so owned ar used shall be the average assessed valuation per acre of the improved farming land in said town. The matter occasioned a long debate pro and con, In marked contrast to the almost silence on the part of the mem- bers when the act passed providing for a revision of the statutes, which means a state expenditure of perhaps $50,- Hard Cider Law. Section 2636 of the general statutes as amended by chapter 237 of the pub- lic acts of 1907 was amended in the senate to read as follow: The term “spirituous and intoxicating liquors” shall be held to include all spirituous and intoxicating liquors, all mixed liquors, all mixed of which a part is spirituous and intoxicating, all dis- tilled spirits, all wines, ale, and porter, all beer manufactured from hops and malt, or from hops and barley, and all beer on .the rectacle containing which the laws of the United States require a revenue stamp to be affixed, and all fermented cider sold to be drunk upon the premises, or sold in quantities less than one gallon to be delivered at one time in towns where licenses to sell intoxicating liquors are granted, or In quantities less than twenty gallons contained In a sealed receptacle and to be removed from the premises of the time of sale, in towns where licenses are not granted, and all wines made in the state from grapes grown in the stote and sold by the grower and mak- er there-of to be drunk upon the premises, or sold in quantities less than five gallons to be dellvered at one time.
