Hartford March 13 A deluge of committee reports, many unfavorable, arrived in both houses. A Friday session was voted to advance calendar matters. Senate favorable reports included a salary raise for New Haven county commissioners from 2000 to 3000 and appointments.

The House and Senate approved observance plans for May 7 and sent a number of measures to the appropriation committee. The session saw confirmations of judges Hoyt Caplan Wolfe and notable amendments to Power Co and Odd Fellows charters. The day also marked Speaker Walsh’s 55th birthday with tributes and florals as the House recommitted a bill on federal aid for a state college program.
