Mr.. Herrick of Brattleboro said that few
DAYS since he moved To have the bill printed,
for he thought he saw in it features that
ought not to become law He found by
reading the bill that his fears were more
than realized and that there were features in
the bill that were dangerous, and had never
been before this any other Legislature,
and being satisfied that, if discussed and
fairly ventilated, rs ii would be, the House
would not pass it, he moved that the bill be
Mr.. Brigham of IIydepark opposed the
motion to dismiss. and hoped the people of
that large and fertile valley might be allowed
to aid in the construction of a road in their
midst, and thus have brought to their own
doors the facilities of railroad communica,- '
ton The principles of this bill were
adopted by the State as long ago as l196, and
it is not a new question. In 1868 the same j
principle was incorporated in bill which
received dissenting votes. In 1864
another similar bill was passed, and again in
1865. In 1866 the towns were allowed to
tax themselves TO build road outside the :
limits of this State but here was a road '
that was wholly within the limits of the
towns unanimously asking for the passage of ,
this bill, and the money was to be expended
in their own midst, in building up the in
terests of those towns Then again, the .
stock when taken by these towns would be
owned bv them and would be wholly within {
their control to the amount of said stock. d
We ask for no general law of this kind. S
but simply ask the Legislature to grant to G
the people in the Lamolle valley the same =
