l THE eovsauorrs PLAN.
(From the New Haven Leader.)
The state press has receiver] (lover-
.uor Chamberlain’ s iecommendatlons
concerning reform in administration
with (onsiderable farm. One or two
papers have regretted that the gover-
nor was not more radical in his recom-
mendetlons, which illustrates some-
i,wliat the progress of public opinion.
Governor Chamberlaina’s recommen-
dations concerning representation are
very much more radical that were
those contained in the inaugural mes-
saga of Governor McLean.
Hricfiy stated the Chamberlain rec-
ommendations are these:
i representative to towns of less
than 2,000 population.
:5 representatives to towns from 5,-
000 to 25,000 population.
3 representatives to towns of from
26,000 to 50.000 population.
4 representatives to towns of from
50.000 to 75.000 population.
1 representative for each additional
25.000 population.
Should this recommendation of Mr.
Chamberlain's be adopted as a consti-
tutional amendment New Haven would
gain four representatives, hence would
hereafter have six members of the
house. Hartford would gain three. with
a total of five members of the house:
Bridgeport and Waterbuf’y two each,
with a total of four each in the house.
and New Britain and Meriden one
each, with a total of three each in the
house,
Fifty-three towns of the state. which
now have two representatives would
lose one not having the stipulated 5,-
000 population.‘
representatives each and 134 would
have but one each. Today 87 towns
have. two representatives each and 81
towns have one representative each.
The house under the Chamberlain
plan would consist of 216 members;
the‘ present membership is 258. This
Chamberlain plan is somewhat similar.
but not exactly like plans presented to
the constitutional convention last year.
The plan adopted by the convention
and subsequently rejected by the peo-
ple was known as the Bissell plan and
provided as follows:
1 representative to towns of less
than 2,000 population.
2 representatives to towns from 2.-
000 to 60.000 population.
3 representatives to towns from 50.-
000 to 100,000 population. .
- l representative for 'each additional
50,000 population. ,
And, for purposes of comparison. we
here present.,tbe plan of, Delegate H.
Wales Haas. of Merlden, which met
the largest measure of favor from all
the delegates representing the large
towns of the state:
i representative to towns of less
than 5,000 population.
2 representatives to towns from 5. 000
.th3 20. 000 population,
