Suffrage Bill Down This Afternoon In 1817 Measure Killed
The 1817 suffrage bill to extend presidential voting rights to women was killed this afternoon. The house also approved a report defining intoxicants, allocated funds for the state prison at Wethersfield, repairs, equipment for the Connecticut Farm for Women, and buildings for the American School for the Deaf. It passed a bill to create a committee to cut waste from polluted streams and took up the 50 hour week for minors and women in mercantile establishments. The senate directed cleaning the lower capi tal floor, prepared for the legislative centennial, and refined land records indexing. A trolley special bill classifying jitneys as public carriers was rejected. The House accepted the majority report and the 50 hour bill by 117 to 51, opposing the senate.
