Another. bill adopted was that
amending the Stratford town charter
relating to the Board of Finance and
more of the selectmen.’
The House then proceeded to de-
bate, and. finally adopted. the Wil-
liamson bill. which repeals Section
3916 of the Statutes under which
private makers of electricity are sell—
ing their surplus current to their
neighbors. and which will place all
companies making and distributing
electricity under the Public Utilities
Commission. which shall pass upon
the question of a company establish-
ing itself in territory already occu-
pied by another company. The three
amendments offered by Mr. William-
sen. Mr. Hyde. of Manchester, and
’ Mr. Back. of Willingly. making slight
changes in the bill were accepted,
but debate came on another amend-
ment. offered by Mr. Bronson. of We
terbury.‘ which would have inserted
the words “public necessity and con-
venience" in the section relating to
hearings of applicants for rights in
territory already covered by an open
sting company. Several members
opposed the momentum it was
defeated by a voice vote. Mr. Hyde
then explained the bill as amended.
while Mr. Hewes, ‘of Farmington, op-
posed it. The bill was adopted on a
voice vote.
The Senate had for its order of the
day a bill providing for the construc-
tion and“ maintenance of bridges on
trunk line highways. which had
passed the House with little 0990!!-
tlon. Senator Magee said the bill
would save the state considerable
money in the erection and mainten-
ance oi suck bridges inasmuch as it
places them underficontrol of‘the
highway commissioner. The bill. be

Senator Whites altered an amend-
ment calling her the consideration of
public convenience and necessity in
hearing any petiticu for the erection
of bridges. This was adopted and
the bill as amended was accepted
without a dissenting vote. The re-
sult came iis a surprise as it had
been expected that there would be
vigorous objection made to it. The
trolley companies under the bill will
be obliged to pay it part oi the cost
of the erection and maintenance of
such bridges used by— them.
