House-A lengthy debate ensued on The
College bill. Mr.. Parker of Middlebury,
and Mr.. Wright of Cornwall, both opposed
the bill. Mr.. King Of Benson, moved to
dismiss
Mr.. Daniels of Grafton, thought the bill
proposed vast expense, and he was for
giving our money to support The war, in
stead of any other measure. He had had
experience in locating land claims. II was
a fact that lands must be well located or they
are worthless i, is not the land so much
as The location that gives value. These
lands would probably be located by men of
no practical knowledge, and they therefore
would stand GOOD chance to be worthless.
He would not take these lands as gift and
pay the taxes on them. The gentleman
from Mildlebury had said we had no place
to put the college; he would add that We
have nothing to build with. He hoped the
bill would be dismissed. He then went on
to state the method of locating lands, and
showed the Importance of having it well
done.
Mr.. Chandler of Woodstock, favored the
bill. With reference TO the matter of To-
eating lands, there was not the difficulty or
uncertainty that had been represented by
the gentleman from Grafton (Daniels). The
plan for locating them advantagecusly was
plain enough, by acting through the proper
agents. He had personal knowledge Of the
matter, and knew what he affirmed in re-
gard to this matter.
The debate was further continued by Mr.. |
Dorr who opposed. and by Mr.. Woodward |
who favored the bin.
Mr.. Daniels of Grafton, stated that the
ill, if passed, would cost the State fifty
thousand dollars a year in paying the tax
n the land, etc, and he did not wish to
ave this expense unless it was certain that
he State would get something in return.
lie favored the object in view, but thought Z
he bill was not calculated TO secure it.
Mr.. Shaw of Burlington, advocated the
Measure at length, and urged the impor-
ance of Union of colleges when the
louise adjourned, pending the motion TO dis
Mss.
In the afternoon there was debate on
he bounty hill. Mr.. Deane of Cavendish,
opposed it on the ground that it was unjust
o the town to pay bounies by State tax.
Mr. Rounds of Chester. supported the
dill. There were towns that declined to
'ay bounties, or paid very small ones il any.
The motion TO dismiss was rejected, yeas
%, nays l02.
The bill was then passed, yeas III, nays
