Mr. Wood of Fairhayen, moved 20 recon
slider the vote whereby ;. l., TO enable the
towns in the counties of Franklin, Lamoille,
and Orleans TO aid in the construction of the
Missisquoi railroad, was laid on the table
and made the special order for Wednesday
next agreed to, and the motion 10 lay on
the table was rejected, and the question be
ing on the third reading u The bill the bill
read the third time.
Mr. Dunn of Fairfax, said that the ques-
ton Of bonding towns TO build railroads was
one of serious importance, and IN come senses,
of doubtful expedisncy. But we should not
giant that privilege 10 part OK the towns
of the State and not to others. The Nissis
ouoi Valley WAS one Of extreme beauty, and
we'll adapted for the building of railroad,
which would open up desirable thorough
fare from east 10 west across the northern
part of our State.
So far as any conflict Of interests between
this road and the Lamoille Valley road WAS
concerned. there could be none at sill they
would each pass through fertile and produc-
tive valleys, and HEould not at all conflict
with each other IN interest. When the
Vermont Central and The Rutland / Bur-
/ lington roads were chartered, it WAS thought
tina. those two roads would conflict in inter
est but time had demonstrated the failacy
of such fears. He hoped the bill would
pass.
Mr. Gleed of Morristown, said that she
| friends of the Lanoile Valley road had no
unfriendly feelings towards the Missisquoi
Valley road but would do all in their power
to aid them. He said the gentleman from
Fairfax had styled this bill TO bond the
towns He did not SO regard it; it WIGS
simply granting to the people the, privilege

enterprises that would materially advance
their own interests. He hoped the bill
