Reports.-Bv Senator Martin, for Commit
tee on Roads, a report (unanimous) against
bill to repeal the act of to-day to incorporate
the Rutland Railroad Company. Senator
Martin admitted that the holders of the third
mortgage had not had notice, and that only
about one third of the holders of the first
mortgage had been represented before the
Committee but the bill preserves all the
! rights of the holders of the first mortgage
Senator Taft argued that this is one of the
cases in which the statute requiring notice
should be applied Although part of the
holders of the first mortgage assent to the
| bill. vet other holders do not, and the trus-
tees. who are the agents of all the holders,
have not agreed to the bill, even had no
tice of it. The holders of the third mort
| gage also have not had notice; and he be-
lieyed that these parties had interests that
might be impaired by the act that had been
verv hastily passed yesterday. Senator Bar
low said the act could not affect any of the
rights of the various parties IN interest, be
cause these are legal and vested rights The
question was on the third reading of the bill
