Prudence Crandall Monument. The committee on military affairs, to whom was feferred the act making an appropriation for a monument to Prudence Crandall, abolitionist school teacher, asked that the matter be re- ferred to the committee on appro- priations and it was so ordered. Change ‘of Reference. Several matters came from the sen- ate asking for change in_reference, in which the house insisted on the ac- tion, and committees of conference were appointed. The act to amend the charter of the city of Bridgeport to regulate jitney and other traffic, was taken from the committee on cites and boroughs and referred to the ju- diciary committee. Commissioner Smith Appointed. The house concurred with the sen- ate in the passage of the resolution in appointing, under suspenson of Aimtat for him to preside in the city and police court. The sentiment at the capitol is strongly in favor of the appointment of Mr. Prince, and he will Pprobably recetve the appointment. NIANTIC RIVER BRIDGE All New London County is Specially Interested in the Project. Next Tuesday afternoon, beginning ‘at 2 o'clock, the committee on roads, bridges and rivers, Senator _Archie McDonald, chairman, will give hearing on the proposed new bridge over the Niantic river, a connecting point of the towns of Waterford and New Lon- don. This matter is of special Interest to New London county as the cost and the maintenance of the present bridge is borne by the county and the cost of the new bridge may alsa be saddled upon the county. This new bridge has been ordered by the fedleral gov- ernment, and must be nine feet higher at low water than the present bridge. As soon as this bridge was ordered, the county commissioners called a meeting of the New London county members of the legislature, and at that meeting a_committee composed of Senators Whiton, Barnes and Hewitt were appointed to make investigation and examination and to ask the les- islature for an appropriation to meet the cost of the bridge. This commit- tee has asked for an appropriation of $65,000. Others interested in the matter, aside from the committee are advocating a change in location of the bridge, so that it will be in direct line with the main highway on the Waterford side of the Niantic river. This would not only avoid two sharp turns, but would also be an economic move. At the location of the old bridge there is al- ways a very strong tide, pockets and eddies, that tend to undermine the structure and- increases the cost of maintenance. The expense of the bridge in the new location wonld be a greater first cost, but it is claimegd, the accommodations would be in- creased tenfold and the upkeep would be materiallly decreased. Should the state decline to aid, the cost to the town of Norwich would be at least $21,000 and the town of New London county. This_change is forced upon the county of New London by the fed- eral government and therefore state aid is sought. It is understood the cost of a new bridge at the proposed new site would be about $85,000. THAMES RIVER BRIDGE. Public a Toll or a Free, Highway? Wwill It Be Senator McDonald, of Putnam, the chairman of the committee on roads, bridges and rivers, announces that the first business to come before the com. mittee hearing next Tuesday after- noon in Room 64, fourth floor, east, will be the act to reconstruct the Thames river railroad bridge for use as a public highway. It will undoubt- rules, William H. Smith to be com- missioner for Middlesex county. Will Report Favorably. The judiciary committee gave hear- ings, Thursday afternoon, on resolu- tions making these appointments, among many others: William B. Coit, edly be a largely attended hearing. There is no doubt but what the bridge will be reconstructed along the lines suggested by the highway commis- sioner, but what the committee is seeking information on, is whether it ought to be a free or a toll bridge. There are advocates of both plan, and £ be judge Of the cliy and police court of New London; John H. Barnes to be judge, and Henry H. Pettis deputy judge of the city court of Norwich; k H. Hinckley to be judge of the town court of Stomington; Arthur M. Brown to be judge, and Frank E. Robinson to be deputy judge of town court of Griswold; Frederick A. Lati- mer to be judge, and A. F. Hewitt to be deputy judge of the town court of Groton. The committee will make fa- vorable report on these appointments next Tuesday. Sidewalks in Pawecatuck. Mr. Babcock of Stonington, the committee on cities and boroug] spoke in advocacy of his bill to amend the charter of the Pawcatuck fire dis- trict. The amendment would give the fire district authority to make appro- priation for the construction of side- walks. Free Site for State ,Prison. Senator John H. Barnes presided at 2 session of the state prison commit- tee, at the state capitol, Wi afternoon, at the hearing on the bill which proposes new buildings for the state prison. Ward A. Garner, war- den of the state prison, _an: that Frank C. Sumner, of Hartford, director of the state prisom, offered his farm in Bolton as a site for a new the Excollent water, and an ideal location for a new prison. Mr. Garner thought the buildings could be erected son labor. Chairman committee were favorably with the proposision. It is quits prob. able that there will be suspension the committee would like those to ap- pear and be heard._ SENTIMENT IN SENATE Resolution of Assurance to President Wilson’s Public Acts. $19.,000, and the rest of the cost woull be borne by the other towns of the Senator Hemenway presented the following resolution and asked for its passage under suspension of the rules, but the vot: to suspend the rules aid not ‘Whereas, A sttuation has developed in the fonam relations of the United States threatens to involve the and of this reas, problem and the very peace of the the hands of the pres- country rest in and the congress, and —— Thelir decision with refer- ence to the course of the nation will be based upon the very fullest infor- mation that is available, and with the dlllr. to mve the peace if it may ‘with honor, therefore be B That it is the sentiment of thll assembly that the people of the state of Connecticut should and win be loyu to the government of the United States In the crisis that has developed and will uphold its hand in whatever policy may finaily be adopt- ed_as the policy of the natlon, and Resolved, That this general assem- bly approves the taking of any course that may be taken to keep the nation at peace and at the same time pre- serve its integrity and honor among nationals of the world, and be it the of state to the five members the two United States ‘with the of congress and an KoL o b vl since 1889, 20 mil druggists offer you com ofl‘a’ZSn:nt!ubuwith doelmtdoyou a dolllf‘ quarter back from Club’s Concert. Efforts to locate Charles A. Wilbar, treasurer of the town of Bridgewater, Mass.,, and father of Mrs. George B. Utter of this town, proved futile up to a late hour last evening. Due to worry connected with the balancing of hjs ac- counts, Mr. Wilbar left Bridgewater Tuesday afternoon. A note left with his books explained his action. It was addressed to Edwin Keith and read as follows: “I cannot make cash balance, and I'm too tired to try longer. This will sound funny to you, but it is true. 1 have neither hidden nor used it. I am not at home and I shall not be. Useless to spend either time or money looking for me. For 16 years Mr. Wilbar had been postmaster of Bridgewater, but when the change in presidents came he lost this office, but shortly aftcr was ap- pointed the town's treasurer. Up to last evening efforts of account- ants to find irregularities in the ac- counts had been without result. Noth- thg had been withdrawn from his own or the Yown’s accounts during the past few days.
