Urge Committee Be Named To Report in 1925 Whether Commissions Are Essential
Hartford March 8 An old problem reappeared before the Legislative Committee on the Judiciary. The hearing centered on abolishing county commissioners and placing duties under a business manager. Rep Dunham of Wethersfield urged a 1925 report on whether commissions should be abolished. The debate highlighted overlapping authority, lack of defined duties, and proposed reforms including popular election of commissioners. The session also covered exemptions for letter carriers using their own cars and funding for rural roads, plus a push to create a Mount Carmel state park preserving the Sleeping Giant area with local and Yale input.

Exchange and balance of trade in international finance
The article explains that exchange relies on a fixed unit of measure and that international balance of trade must be based on a known standard. It notes that gold is not always shipped, but bills and drafts require predefined exchange values. It argues that paper currency cannot be redeemed in gold and cites German marks, Russian rubles, and Austrian kronen as problematic. The piece ends by noting a local Ladies Sewing circle fundraiser at 835 Clinton Avenue this afternoon from 3 to 3.
