Half a Million For Reconstruction of Thames River Bridge. been this Many important laws have enacted by the general ass/mbly spring. The state highway department will have more money at its disposal during the next two years than it has had before for a similar perfod in its history. The appropriations voted for the use of the department amounts to $6.609,000. Included in this is nearly a half million for the reconstruction of the Thames river bridge, and about $300,000 to pay the stated share of the cost of constructing the bridge over the Housatonic river between Stratford and Milford. Commiss#ner Ben- nett will have $2,500,000 for new construction. At the gession of 1913 not a cent was allowed for this purpose, the appropriations of that session being confined to the allowance _ for repairs and for bridges. Tt Is of interest to note that the appropriation for highways amounts to more than a quarter of the entire amount of all the appro- priations for the coming two years. Educational. In educational matters the state refused an appropriation for a hor- mal school in Waterbury. It pro- CLEAN UP! Yes! Clean House Fares Rebated Here THE CRANSTON CO.

It also passed a law for the establishment of a system of pensioning teachers and voted $40,000 to give the sys- tem a stast. The system is known as the contributory plan by which the teachers contribute the pen- sion fund out of their lariss The sum of $4,000 was voted for the establishment of scholarships at the Conmnecticut Agricultu college at Storr: Fish and Game Laws. The attempt to legislate the pres- ent fish and game commission out of existence and the substitution for it of a single headed commission failed, but the laws have been changed to enable the commission to do more effective work for the conservation and propagation of fish and game. It is belfeved that the lm‘airy which will be made under a law passed at the session of 1917 relating to the methods of dispos- ing of factory wastes will resuit in the adoption of a plan af the next session for the purification of the streams of the state and the in- crease of fish in them. , Banking Department. The laws governing the banking department have been amended in a number of particnlars but most of the amendments merely clarified the phraseology of the statutes. The most important amendment was that which increased the appropria. tion of the commission to the sum of $45,000 a yvear. This will enable the commission to employ two ex- aminers for the purpose of exam- ining the trust departments of trust companies. Heretotore thefe de- partments were not examined, Their examination will require the services of two men and with these thére will be seven examiners con- nected with the banking depart- ment. The trust companies throughout the state have charge of the management of 1,700 trusts and representing nearly $90,000,000. The salary of the deputy bank com- missioner has been increased from $2,500 to $3,500. An amendment to the statutes governing private banks increases the bonds which thesc banks will be required to give to the state for the privilege of continu- ing in business. In towns having 1 population under 20,000 fhe bonds have been increased to $2,000 .and in towns having a greater popula- tion the bonds have ben increased to $40.000. The status revision commission has been continued and empowered to incorporate the laws passed at the 1917 session of the general as- sembly in the revision. The expenses of work of incorporating these statutes will be provided for by the board of control. The authority of the dairy and pure food commission is given a wider scope over dairies and the farm Dbuildings in which cattle are kept. The appropriation: for the de- partment has also been increased to 2nable the commissioner to incr#ase his foree of assistants. | FUNDED. DO ALL YOUR SPRING BUYING THIS WEEK.

Inheritance Tax Law. The principal change In the new inheritance taxation law as passed by the house and senate is the method of procedure in the probate courts, In case there is any objec- tion on the part of the tax commis- sioner to the appraised value of property. This procedure is some- what simplified under the new law. and in case the tax commissioner is dissatisfied with the appraised value as shown in the inventory and ap- praisal, he files his objection in writing to the particular item, ana asks for n hearing. Another impor- tant provision of the new law is that any application for an exten- sion of time in which to pay the in- heritance tax must be made within the fourteen months allowed for the payment of such taxes.
