as special order.
MIR. Dorr of Rutland moved to amend
so as to increase the salaries of the
judges four hundred dollars each. He
spoke at length also in support of the
position that the number of judges
should not be decreased. The House
disagreed to the amendment proposed
by Mr.. Dorr.
Mr.. Stewart of Middlebury spoke at
length in support of the bill, He had
no doubt five judges could do the work
required, and that they should receive
q material increase Of salary. He did

be no additional tax upon the state to
give to five judges the salary now paid

increasing salaries of the judges with
out decreasing their number. He gave
as his opinion that the real design of
the bill was to get rid Of one of the

well to say plainly that some of the
la Syers could not get along with Loyal
C. Kellogg, Of the ableSt men in
the state, and well known for his ster
ling integrity. The House applauded
this estimate Of Judge Kelloggs ability
and worth. ...
