When_taken from the calendar, Mon- day, Mr. Peasley, for the committee, opposed any change in the gystem, where the representatives every town elect these officials ' direct. Mr. Fenton favored the new project, and declared the argument asainst was in effect the same as prevailed against the election of United States senators. In his county, Windham, the commis- sloners were 'a fine type of men, but he believed the time was near when the county should elect its officers. Mr. Peasley said ifi the change came the city of Hartford could name the than all the rest of the county com- Mr. Taylor, of Danbury, spoke and stated that ners was bined. in favor of the bill, the business of commis: countywise and not townwise. It is a county duty for the county to elect county officers, but now it is done by 2 combination of counties. The peo ple in the county should select thei own county officers, and there -would not be government of the matter by any city. Mr. Foord, of Stamford, said the tendency was to decrease ra- ther than increase the number of ele leral feeling for the election of presi- dent, and that if this projec® was put to the people, it would be favored by the people. Mr. Corbett of Hartford it was from missioners. Mr. Taylor said ridiculous for the gentleman Stamford 1o say .that better - could be had by appointment rather than by election. When the viva voce vote was taken on the acceptance of the report and rejection of the bill, the speaker stated that in his opinion the motion pre- vailed.

Fishfhg in MoBsup Pond: { The fish and game committee re- ported favorably an act which pro- vides that 'no person shall take fish from Moosup Pond, in the town of Plainfield, for twq Vvears from June 1, 1917. The penalty is $50 or imprison- ment not more than thirty days, or both. Public Service, Board. The act concerning a public service board was reported unfavorably by the judiciary committee, which would succeed the public utilities commis- sion, and would not include any mem- ber ‘of the commission. Mr. Moore- house spoke in support qf the . bill, as it was not a radical bill as it not only covered but broadened the scope of the commission. There is general dissatisfaction, he said, with the pres- ent utilitles commissioner, and he challenged a case where the commis- sion had taken the initiative since 1911 or since its creation. Mr. Moore- house cited cases to show the lack of efficiency of _the puhlic utilities commission, and had leit manythings undone that ought to be done in the matter of trollev operation, gas and electricity and the like. He believed the committees were controlled by a few outside people and that a small minority 6f members really acted up- No one _appeared COATsS continued this week.

This com- mission spends some $40,000 a vear, and wastes much of it in the publi- cation of useless reports. Mr. Rogers, of Manchester, stated that the public utilities commission had no friend before the committee when this bill was given hearing. The public has no confidence in the com- mission, but representatives of the New York, New Haven and Hariod and Connecticut companies, did appear for a member of the commission at another hearing. Public service cor- porations are operating. nnder _rules that cannot be observed, and the re- sult is railroad wrecks. He said he had nothing against the commission- ers, personally, but as a commission they are a failure. Mr. Peasley said in reply to the as- sertion that there were railroad laws that could not be respected and if that were so he suggested repeal of tfin to longer irritates, thus ending disorders.
