Mr. j. r. kidder, MeSsrs Stewart and klmbalI
for the committee of reference, stated the facts
that appeared before them.
Mcssis J. =. Kdder, Bancroft and White, in
arguments ot considerable length, opposed the
passage of the bill, on the grounds that it was
contrary to the precedent established here to di-
vide towns without previous notice and action in
town meetings that 1t would be hasty legisla-
ton, aud lead to many evils by way of bad pre-
cedrut in future calls for division Of towns with.
out valid reason, aud that 1t would be unjust to
the hull portion of the town which have resisted
the application for this division.
Mrs,rs French, Chandler, Mead, Stewart, and
COIbutR, advocated the passage of the bull on
the ground that the inhabitants Of the village OF
west part of the town had Just claim to be set
of on account of The hardship of being com
PEELED To travel so far up hill To town meeting
OF having been deprived of their fair proportion
OF highway taxes, and thus been subjected to
bad streets and roads-nn evil to which they
would be- still exposed while the ca st part of the
Town held Tn" balance Of power --lla. ,as there
han been Il lull hearing Of both parties, ana the
legislature was sitting in The town where all
were apprscd Of lis action IN the case the pre-
cedenl respecting notice on applications iron
other parts of the State SHOULD not be binding
that the State had an interest in having good
streets aud roads IN the village where the Iegls-
lalure meets annually, and that 1t was unreason-
able to refuse to place that village in a situation
10 make the desired improvements.
/ Alessrs Kldder and White replied.
/ Mr. Bscmnn asked to be excused from voting
on the question, which was granted.
| The question was then put, and the BILL by
yeas 10, nay ., passed The second time and then
was taken up, aud had lis final passage.
