BLODGETT BILL SEEN FAVORED AFTER RURAL ASSESSORS HEAR BILLS
The Connecticut House reported a favorable line on the so called Brodgett bill redefining the state tax commissioner duties, with administrative power clarified. A favorable report also allowed Tramoul to issue bonds while the succession tax bill moved to finance. Unfavorable action blocked a gross income tax swap, and a measure exempting soldiers’ property was rejected. The House approved funding for the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station anniversary and considered creating a state agriculture commissioner to replace the current board. The bill would name the commissioner by May 1 for a four year term with a 5000 dollar salary and deputy at 3800. Major Kilbe T. Platt of Newtown is named for the post. Other items included codifying the state fish and game laws, regulating drugstores, and sign controls for advertising. The panel also considered highway planning and the State Board of Optometry. A plan to prevent unauthorized excavations on trunk line routes was discussed. A dental examiner position would be formed from names provided by the Connecticut State Dental association.
