RESOLUTIONS.
BY Mr.. Page of Waterville, that the Committee
on Education be instructed to inquire into the
expedency Of amending the 9th Section Of the
school law so that il shall be palmer and more
explicit: adopted.
Mr.. Shaw of Burlington cllled up the reso.u-
lion, relating to the requirement OF the State, in
regard to its Militia system at the present time.
The question pending was on the amendme.t Of
Nh Lynde of Wllllamstown, proposing change
in the form and provisions of the system which
the resolution recommends. Mr.. Shaw stated
that he had not called up the Resolution to discuss
it, but to move its reference TO Committee. He
offered resolution to the effect hat theresotlltion
and amendment be refer ed TO the Committee on
Military Affairs, with instructions to inquire into
the comparative annual expense of such system
as the resolution proposes, and that which the
commissioners on the Revision of the Statutes
embody in their Report.
Mr. Reyno DIS of A burgh opposed at some
length the reference to Committee as proposed by
Mr.. Shaw.
Mr.. Cook, OF Cabot, moved to dismiss the res
oluiion under consideration. He referred TO last
years action of Legislature in support of his mo-
ton, urging that the former action of the Legis.
laure, and the will Of the people, well known to
me nbers, indicated the kind Of law that should
be enacted.
Mr.. Hubbell, of Fairfax, explained at length
his views of past legislation, and the legislation,
now required IN regard to the Militia of the
State. lie stated that be had not introduced the
resolution under consideration as his plan, but
simply to ascertain the opinions Of the members.
He opposed the reference to Committee.
Mr.. Dana, Of st. Johnsbury, did not regard
the motion as test motion and therefore opposed
it..
Mr.. Lynde, OF Wiamstown, feared that If
the resolutions were dismissed it would be wrong
Is construed. He understood tina, something more
than a law like the present one was called for, and
hoped there would be efficient action, such as the
People called for, taken by the present Legisla-
ture.
MIR. Shaw of Burlington was in favor of the
passage of an efficient militia law but believed
the question of expense should oe answered in
relation to various plans. 1t was for this reason
that he had moved the reference to q Committee.
Mr.. Herrlck of Wocott, knew that there was
general desire throughout the State for the pas
sage of an efficient law. He hoped the motion
TO dismiss IN the present case would not prevail
MI Barrett OF Grafton opposed both the mo-
ton to dismiss and the motion to refer. He
thought every member had made up his mind IN
regard to the militia law needed. The matter had
oeen talked up since last year, and was now a
question OF great interest to the people, He
"new the question OF expense was important but
as it de peudrd upon details rather than unon m.
