The resolution introduced at the convention of the Connecticut State Firemen's association in Bridzeport this_week, providing for an increase in the amount of benefits to be paid by the association to any of its mem- duty by illness or injury, was rejected by the convention When .the resolution was brought before the executive board at its | meeting the members of the board voted to make an unfavorable report to the convention. The reason for the unfavorable report was the contes the state comptroller would not recog nize an order drawn by the associa- tion to cover the proposed increase. When the report of the committee was presented to the convention the matter was argued at some length, but no de- cision could be reached, so the reso- lution was finally referred hack to the executive committee, which is to con- der-it in concurrence with the legis lative committee. For the resolution is wiil have -to mak a joint report on it at next year convention, wien it is hoped that the te legislature will on for an increas the association. in the funds of FEDERAL ORDER TO .KEEP All wharves in Nor New Lon vessels of 500 gross tor dock are to be kept free from itors xcept those with proper accordin I vi those who' a whary 15t o pass which be attach ies of anyone is rf without such wharves will, according, be guarded In case of violation of these instruc- tions the government may exercise right to assume control of the proper ty.
