seven proposed Constitutional
Amendments will center on
Proposition Number 3 on the
ballot—the repeahof- Prohibi-
n tion, according to Secretary of
. State Gerald CaMann. —
The Constitution, at present,
prohibits the sale, manufacture
and transportation of alcoholic
liquors (except 3.2 beer). This
prohibition would be stricken
out by adoption of the Repeal
Amendment. t
The proposed ' amendment
specifically prohibits the return

of the Hopkins Grammar schogl in
New Haven.

“They sailed up the broad Connecticut
river, mapped part of ths coastline,
and later established a trading post
.near the present site of Hartford. .

three towns of Wetherstield, Windsor,
and Hartford, nucleus of the colony.

this little group marked the beginning
of constitutional government In this
country. Latek, When Connecticut del-
