The House bill to divide the town of MONTPELIER
was now taken up. when, call of Mr. J. p. Kidder,
Messrs Stewart ami Kmbal for the committee of ref
erence, stated the facts that appeared before them.
Messrs j. P, Kidder Bancroft and White, in argu-
ments of considerable length opposed the passage of
the bill, OIL the ground that it contrary to the pre-
cedent established here to divide towns without prev-
GUS notice and action in town meetings-that it would
be hasty legislation, and lead to many evils by way
of bad precedent in future calls for division of towns
without valid reason, and that it would be unjust to
the hill portion Of the town which have resisted the ap-
plcation for this division.
Messrs French, Chandler, Mead, Stewart, and Col
burn advocated the passage Of the bill the ground
that the inhabitants Of the village or west part Of the
town had Just claim to be set off on account of the
hardship Of being compelled to travel so far to town
meeting up hll-ot having been deprived of their fair
proportion OF highway taxes and thus been subjected
to bad streets aud roads--an evil to which they would
be still exposed while the east part Of the town held
the balance of power-that as there had been a full
hearing of both parties, and the Legislature was set
ting in the town where all were apprsed of its
action in the case, the precedent respecting notice
on applications from other parts of the State, should
not be blndlng-tIat the State had interest in hay
ing good streets and roads in the village where the
Legislature meets annually, and that it was unreasona-
bic to refuse to place that village in q situation to
make the desired Improvements.
Messrs Kdder and White replied
Mr. Beeman asked to be excused from voting on the
questlon--granted.
